Isaiah 6
1 In [the] year of [the] death of the king Uzziah and I saw [the] Lord sitting on a throne high and lifted up and [the] skirts of robe his [were] filling the temple.
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted; and the train of His robe filled the temple.
2 Seraphim [were] standing - from above him six wings six wings [belonged] to one with two [wings] - he covered face his and with two [wings] he covered feet his and with two [wings] he flew.
Above Him stood seraphim, each having six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying.
3 And he called this to this and he said [is] holy - holy holy Yahweh of hosts [the] fullness of all the earth [is] glory his.
And they were calling out to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of Hosts; all the earth is full of His glory.”
4 And they shook [the] foundations of the thresholds from [the] voice of the [one who] called and the house it was filled smoke.
At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook, and the temple was filled with smoke.
5 And I said woe! to me for I am destroyed for [am] a man unclean of lips I and in among a people unclean of lips I [am] dwelling for the king Yahweh of hosts they have seen eyes my.
Then I said: “Woe is me, for I am ruined, because I am a man of unclean lips dwelling among a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of Hosts.”
6 And he flew to me one of the seraphim and [was] in hand his a live coal [which] with tongs he had taken from on the altar.
Then one of the seraphim flew to me, and in his hand was a glowing coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar.
7 And he made [it] touch mouth my and he said here! it has touched this lips your and it will be removed iniquity your and sin your it will be atoned for.
And with it he touched my mouth and said: “Now that this has touched your lips, your iniquity is removed and your sin is atoned for.”
8 And I heard [the] voice of [the] Lord saying whom? will I send and who? will he go for us and I said here [am] I send me.
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying: “Whom shall I send? Who will go for Us?” And I said: “Here am I. Send me!”
9 And he said go and you will say to the people this hear continually and may not you understand and see continually and may not you perceive.
And He replied: “Go and tell this people, ‘Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’
10 Make fat [the] heart of the people this and ears its make heavy and eyes its seal over lest it should see with eyes its and with ears its it will hear and heart its it will understand and it will return and someone will heal it.
Make the hearts of this people calloused; deafen their ears and close their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed.”
11 And I said until when? O Lord and he said until that they have lain desolate cities from not inhabitant and houses from not anyone and the ground it will be devastated a desolation.
Then I asked: “How long, O Lord?” And He replied: “Until the cities lie ruined and without inhabitant, until the houses are left unoccupied and the land is desolate and ravaged,
12 And he will send far away Yahweh humankind and it will become great the abandoned [land] in [the] midst of the land.
until the LORD has driven men far away and the land is utterly forsaken.
13 And still [will be] in it a tenth [part] and it will return and it will become burning like terebinth and like oak which in [the] felling a stump [is] in them [will be] offspring of holiness stump its.
And though a tenth remains in the land, it will be burned again. As the terebinth and oak leave stumps when felled, so the holy seed will be a stump in the land.”
