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,
當烏西雅王崩的那年，我見主坐在高高的寶座上。他的衣裳垂下，遮滿聖殿。
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.
其上有撒拉弗侍立，各有六個翅膀：用兩個翅膀遮臉，兩個翅膀遮腳，兩個翅膀飛翔；
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.
彼此呼喊說： 聖哉！聖哉！聖哉！萬軍之耶和華； 他的榮光充滿全地！
4 And the foundations of the porch, were moved at the voice of him that cried, —and the house, was filled with smoke.
因呼喊者的聲音，門檻的根基震動，殿充滿了煙雲。
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!
那時我說：「禍哉！我滅亡了！因為我是嘴唇不潔的人，又住在嘴唇不潔的民中，又因我眼見大君王－萬軍之耶和華。」
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.
有一撒拉弗飛到我跟前，手裏拿着紅炭，是用火剪從壇上取下來的，
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.
將炭沾我的口，說：「看哪，這炭沾了你的嘴，你的罪孽便除掉，你的罪惡就赦免了。」
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.
我又聽見主的聲音說：「我可以差遣誰呢？誰肯為我們去呢？」我說：「我在這裏，請差遣我！」
9 Then said he—Go and say unto this people, —Hear on but do not discern, See on but do not perceive:
他說：「你去告訴這百姓說： 你們聽是要聽見，卻不明白； 看是要看見，卻不曉得。
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.
要使這百姓心蒙脂油， 耳朵發沉， 眼睛昏迷； 恐怕眼睛看見， 耳朵聽見， 心裏明白， 回轉過來，便得醫治。」
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;
我就說：「主啊，這到幾時為止呢？」他說： 直到城邑荒涼，無人居住， 房屋空閒無人，地土極其荒涼。
12 And Yahweh have far removed men, —And great! be the abandonment in the midst of the land.
並且耶和華將人遷到遠方， 在這境內撇下的地土很多。
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.
境內剩下的人若還有十分之一， 也必被吞滅， 像栗樹、橡樹雖被砍伐， 樹墩子卻仍存留。 這聖潔的種類在國中也是如此。
