< 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 sitting upon a throne high and lifted up, and His train 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 the seraphim; each one had six wings: with twain he covered his face and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
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 one called unto another, and said: Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts; the whole 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.
And the posts of the door were moved at the voice of them that called, and the house 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 said I: Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for mine 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 flew unto me one of the seraphim, with a glowing stone in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off 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 he touched my mouth with it, and said: Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin expiated.
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.
And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then 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 said: 'Go, and tell this people: hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.
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 heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they, seeing with their eyes, and hearing with their ears, and understanding with their heart, return, 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 said I: 'Lord, how long?' And He answered: 'Until cities be waste without inhabitant, and houses without man, and the land become utterly waste,
12 And he will send far away Yahweh humankind and it will become great the abandoned [land] in [the] midst of the land.
And the LORD have removed men far away, and the forsaken places be many in the midst of the land.
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 if there be yet a tenth in it, it shall again be eaten up; as a terebinth, and as an oak, whose stock remaineth, when they cast their leaves, so the holy seed shall be the stock thereof.'
