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,
I Kong Uzzijas Dødsaar saa jeg Herren sidde paa en saare høj Trone, og hans Slæb fyldte Helligdommen.
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.
Serafer stod hos ham, hver med seks Vinger; med de to skjulte de Ansigtet, med de to Fødderne, og med de to fløj de;
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.
og de raabte til hverandre: »Hellig, hellig, hellig er Hærskarers HERRE, al Jorden er fuld af hans Herlighed!«
4 And the foundations of the porch, were moved at the voice of him that cried, —and the house, was filled with smoke.
Og Dørstolpernes Hængsler rystede ved Raabet, medens Templet fyldtes af Røg.
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!
Da sagde jeg: »Ve mig, det er ude med mig, thi jeg er en Mand med urene Læber, og jeg bor i et Folk med urene Læber, og nu har mine Øjne set Kongen, Hærskarers HERRE!«
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.
Men en af Seraferne fløj hen til mig; og han havde i Haanden et glødende Kul, som han med en Tang havde taget fra Alteret;
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.
det lod han røre min Mund og sagde: »Se, det har rørt dine Læber; din Skyld er borte, din Synd er sonet!«
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.
Saa hørte jeg Herren sige: »Hvem skal jeg sende, hvem vil gaa Bud for os?« Og jeg sagde: »Her er jeg, send mig!«
9 Then said he—Go and say unto this people, —Hear on but do not discern, See on but do not perceive:
Da sagde han: »Gaa hen og sig til dette Folk: Hør kun, dog skal I intet fatte, se kun, dog skal I intet indse!
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.
Gør Hjertet sløvt paa dette Folk, gør dets Ører tunge, dets Øjne blinde, saa det ikke kan se med Øjnene, ej heller høre med Ørene, ej heller fatte med Hjertet og omvende sig og læges.«
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;
Jeg spurgte: »Hvor længe, Herre?« Og han svarede: »Til Byerne er øde, uden Beboere, og Husene uden et Menneske, og Agerjorden ligger som Ørk!«
12 And Yahweh have far removed men, —And great! be the abandonment in the midst of the land.
Og HERREN vil fjerne Menneskene, og Tomhed skal brede sig i Landet;
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.
og er der endnu en Tiendedel deri, skal ogsaa den udryddes som en Terebinte eller Eg, af hvilken en Stub bliver tilbage, naar den fældes. Dens Stub er hellig Sæd.
