Isaiah 6
1 In the year of the death of King Uzziah—I see the Lord, sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and His train is filling the temple.
烏齊雅王逝世那年，我看見吾主坐在崇高的御座上，他的衣邊拖曳滿殿。「
2 Seraphim are standing above it: each one has six wings; with two [each] covers its face, and with two [each] covers its feet, and with two [each] flies.
色辣芬」侍立在他左右，各有六個翅膀：兩個蓋住臉，兩個蓋住腳，兩個用來飛翔。
3 And this one has called to that, and has said: “HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, [is] YHWH of Hosts, The fullness of all the earth [is] His glory!”
他們互相高呼說：「聖！聖！聖！萬軍的上主！他的光榮充滿大地！」
4 And the posts of the thresholds are moved by the voice of him who is calling, and the house is full of smoke.
由於呼喊的聲音，門限的基石也震撼了；殿宇內充滿了煙霧。
5 And I say, “Woe to me, for I have been silent, For I [am] a man of unclean lips, And I am dwelling in [the] midst of a people of unclean lips, Because the King, YHWH of Hosts, my eyes have seen.”
我遂說：「我有禍了！我完了！因為我是個唇舌不潔的人，住在唇舌不潔的人民中間，竟親眼見了君王－－萬軍的上主！」
6 And one of the seraphim flees to me, and in his hand—a burning coal (with tongs he has taken [it] from off the altar),
當時有一個「色辣芬」飛到我面前，手中拿著鉗子，從祭壇上取了一塊火炭，
7 and he strikes against my mouth and says: “Behold, this has struck against your lips, And your iniquity is turned aside, And your sin is covered.”
接觸我的口說：「你看，這炭接觸了你的口唇，你的邪惡已經消除，你的罪孽已獲赦免！」
8 And I hear the voice of the Lord, saying, “Whom do I send? And who goes for Us?” And I say, “Here I [am], send me.”
那時我聽見吾主的聲音說：「我將派遣誰呢﹖誰肯為我們去呢﹖」我回答說：「我在這裏，請派遣我 ！」
9 And He says, “Go, and you have said to this people, Hearing you hear, and you do not understand, And seeing you see, and you do not know.
他說：「你去對這民族說：你們聽是聽，但不明白；看是看，卻不理解。
10 Declare the heart of this people fat, And declare its ears heavy, And declare its eyes dazzled, Lest it see with its eyes, And hear with its ears, and consider with its heart, And it has turned back, and has health.”
你要使這民族的心遲鈍，使他們的耳朵沉重，使他們的眼睛迷矇，免得他們的眼睛看見，耳朵聽見，心裏覺悟而悔改，獲得痊癒。」
11 And I say, “Until when, O Lord?” And He says, “Surely until cities have been ruined without inhabitant, And houses without man, And the ground is ruined—a desolation,
我追問說：「吾主！要到幾時呢﹖」他回答說：「直到城邑變成廢墟，沒有居民，房屋無人居住，田地變為荒蕪。」
12 And YHWH has put man far off, And the forsaken part [is] great in the heart of the land.
上主必將人民遷到遠方，本地區荒蕪異常。
13 And yet a tenth in it, and it has turned, And has been for a burning, As a teil-tree, and as an oak, that in falling, Has substance in them, The holy seed [is] its substance!”
境內雖只留下十分之一，還要遭受摧殘；就如松樹和樟樹在伐倒後，尚留有餘幹，聖善的苗裔將由這餘幹產生。
