< Isaiah 6 >

1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw My Lord, sitting upon a throne high and lifted up, and, his skirts, did fill the temple,
فِي سَنَةِ وَفَاةِ عُزِّيَّا ٱلْمَلِكِ، رَأَيْتُ ٱلسَّيِّدَ جَالِسًا عَلَى كُرْسِيٍّ عَالٍ وَمُرْتَفِعٍ، وَأَذْيَالُهُ تَمْلَأُ ٱلْهَيْكَلَ.١
2 Seraphim, were standing above him; six wings severally, had each one, —With twain, he covered his face And with twain, he covered his feet And with twain, he did fly.
ٱلسَّرَافِيمُ وَاقِفُونَ فَوْقَهُ، لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ سِتَّةُ أَجْنِحَةٍ، بِٱثْنَيْنِ يُغَطِّي وَجْهَهُ، وَبِٱثْنَيْنِ يُغَطِّي رِجْلَيْهِ، وَبَٱثْنَيْنِ يَطِيرُ.٢
3 And they continued crying out one to another, and said, Holy—holy—holy, is Yahweh of hosts, —the fulness of the whole earth, is his glory.
وَهَذَا نَادَى ذَاكَ وَقَالَ: «قُدُّوسٌ، قُدُّوسٌ، قُدُّوسٌ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. مَجْدُهُ مِلْءُ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ».٣
4 And the foundations of the porch, were moved at the voice of him that cried, —and the house, was filled with smoke.
فَٱهْتَزَّتْ أَسَاسَاتُ ٱلْعَتَبِ مِنْ صَوْتِ ٱلصَّارِخِ، وَٱمْتَلَأَ ٱلْبَيْتُ دُخَانًا.٤
5 Then said I—Woe to me!—for I am undone, Because a man of unclean lips, am, I, And in the midst of a people of unclean lips, do I dwell, —For the King. Yahweh of hosts, have mine eyes seen!
فَقُلْتُ: «وَيْلٌ لِي! إِنِّي هَلَكْتُ، لِأَنِّي إِنْسَانٌ نَجِسُ ٱلشَّفَتَيْنِ، وَأَنَا سَاكِنٌ بَيْنَ شَعْبٍ نَجِسِ ٱلشَّفَتَيْنِ، لِأَنَّ عَيْنَيَّ قَدْ رَأَتَا ٱلْمَلِكَ رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ».٥
6 Then flew unto me one of the seraphim, And in his hand, a live coal, —With tongs, had he taken it from off the altar.
فَطَارَ إِلَيَّ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ ٱلسَّرَافِيمِ وَبِيَدِهِ جَمْرَةٌ قَدْ أَخَذَهَا بِمِلْقَطٍ مِنْ عَلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ،٦
7 Then touched he my mouth, and said—Lo! this hath touched thy lips, —Thus shall be taken away, thine iniquity, And, thy sin, by propitiation be covered.
وَمَسَّ بِهَا فَمِي وَقَالَ: «إِنَّ هَذِهِ قَدْ مَسَّتْ شَفَتَيْكَ، فَٱنْتُزِعَ إِثْمُكَ، وَكُفِّرَ عَنْ خَطِيَّتِكَ».٧
8 Then heard I the voice of My Lord, saying, Whom shall I send? And who will go for us? And I said—Here am I—send me.
ثُمَّ سَمِعْتُ صَوْتَ ٱلسَّيِّدِ قَائِلًا: «مَنْ أُرْسِلُ؟ وَمَنْ يَذْهَبُ مِنْ أَجْلِنَا؟» فَقُلْتُ: «هَأَنَذَا أَرْسِلْنِي».٨
9 Then said he—Go and say unto this people, —Hear on but do not discern, See on but do not perceive:
فَقَالَ: «ٱذْهَبْ وَقُلْ لِهَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ: ٱسْمَعُوا سَمْعًا وَلَا تَفْهَمُوا، وَأَبْصِرُوا إِبْصَارًا وَلَا تَعْرِفُوا.٩
10 Stupefy thou the heart of this people, And their ears, make thou heavy, And their eyes, overspread, —Lest they see with their eyes And with their ears, should hear, And their heart should discern and come back. And they be healed.
غَلِّظْ قَلْبَ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ وَثَقِّلْ أُذُنَيْهِ وَٱطْمُسْ عَيْنَيْهِ، لِئَلَّا يُبْصِرَ بِعَيْنَيْهِ وَيَسْمَعَ بِأُذُنَيْهِ وَيَفْهَمَ بِقَلْبِهِ، وَيَرْجِعَ فَيُشْفَى».١٠
11 Then said I—How long, My Lord? And he said—Until the time that Cities be wasted through having no inhabitant And houses—through having no men, And, the ground, be laid waste unto desolation;
فَقُلْتُ: «إِلَى مَتَى أَيُّهَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ؟» فَقَالَ: «إِلَى أَنْ تَصِيرَ ٱلْمُدُنُ خَرِبَةً بِلَا سَاكِنٍ، وَٱلْبُيُوتُ بِلَا إِنْسَانٍ، وَتَخْرَبَ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَتُقْفِرَ،١١
12 And Yahweh have far removed men, —And great! be the abandonment in the midst of the land.
وَيُبْعِدَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ، وَيَكْثُرَ ٱلْخَرَابُ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.١٢
13 Yet still shall there be in it a tenth, Though it again be consumed, —Like an oak and like a terebinth Which when felled, have a stock in them, A holy seed, shall be the stock thereof.
وَإِنْ بَقِيَ فِيهَا عُشْرٌ بَعْدُ، فَيَعُودُ وَيَصِيرُ لِلْخَرَابِ، وَلَكِنْ كَٱلْبُطْمَةِ وَٱلْبَلُّوطَةِ، ٱلَّتِي وَإِنْ قُطِعَتْ فَلَهَا سَاقٌ، يَكُونُ سَاقُهُ زَرْعًا مُقَدَّسًا».١٣
