Isaiah 6
1 During the year that King Uzziah died, [Yahweh showed me a vision. In the vision], I saw Yahweh sitting on a throne, high above everyone. He [was wearing a very long] robe that covered [the floor of] the temple.
| وَفِي سَنَةِ وَفَاةِ الْمَلِكِ عُزِّيَّا، شَاهَدْتُ السَّيِّدَ جَالِساً عَلَى عَرْشٍ مُرْتَفِعٍ سَامٍ، وَقَدِ امْتَلأَ الْهَيْكَلُ مِنْ أَهْدَابِهِ، | ١ |
2 Above him were standing [several] winged creatures. Each of them had six wings. They covered their faces with two of their wings, they covered their feet with two of their wings, and they flew using two of their wings.
| وَأَحَاطَ بِهِ مَلائِكَةُ السَّرَافِيمِ، لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ سِتَّةُ أَجْنِحَةٍ، أَخْفَى وَجْهَهُ بِجَنَاحَيْنِ، وَغَطَّى قَدَمَيْهِ بِجَنَاحَيْنِ، وَيَطِيرُ بِالْجَنَاحَيْنِ الْبَاقِيَيْنِ. | ٢ |
3 They were calling to each other, saying, “The Commander of the armies of angels is holy; he is completely holy! The entire earth is filled with his glory.”
| وَنَادَى أَحَدُهُمُ الآخَرَ: «قُدُّوسٌ، قُدُّوسٌ، قُدُّوسٌ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ. مَجْدُهُ مِلْءُ كُلِّ الأَرْضِ». | ٣ |
4 When they spoke, it caused the doorposts of the temple to shake, and the temple was filled with smoke.
| فَاهْتَزَّتْ أُسُسُ أَرْكَانِ الْهَيْكَلِ مِنْ صَوْتِ الْمُنَادِي، وَامْتَلأَ الْهَيْكَلُ بِالدُّخَانِ. | ٤ |
5 Then I said, “Terrible things will happen to me, because everything that I say [MTY] is sinful, and I live among people who constantly say [MTY] sinful things. I will be destroyed because I have seen the Commander of the armies of angels!”
| فَقُلْتُ: «وَيْلٌ لِي لأَنِّي هَلَكْتُ لأَنِّي إِنْسَانٌ نَجِسُ الشَّفَتَيْنِ، وَأَسْكُنُ وَسَطَ قَوْمٍ دَنِسِي الشِّفَاهِ. فَإِنَّ عَيْنَيَّ قَدْ أَبْصَرَتَا الْمَلِكَ الرَّبَّ الْقَدِيرَ». | ٥ |
6 Then one of the winged creatures took a hot coal from the altar, using a pair of tongs. He flew to me
| فَطَارَ أَحَدُ السَّرَافِيمِ إِلَيَّ وَبِيَدِهِ جَمْرَةٌ أَخَذَهَا مِنْ عَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ، | ٦ |
7 and touched my lips with the coal. Then he said, “Look [at what I have done]. I have touched your lips [with this coal]. [Now] your guilt is ended, and your sins are forgiven [DOU].”
| وَمَسَّ بِها فَمِي قَائِلاً: «انْظُرْ، هَا إِنَّ هَذِهِ قَدْ مَسَّتْ شَفَتَيْكَ فَانْتُزِعَ إِثْمُكَ وَتَمَّ التَّكْفِيرُ عَنْ خَطِيئَتِكَ». | ٧ |
8 Then I heard Yahweh asking, “Whom shall I send [to be a messenger to my people]? Who will go [and speak] for us?” I replied, “I will. Send me!”
| وَسَمِعْتُ صَوْتَ الرَّبِّ يَقُولُ: «مَنْ أُرْسِلُ، وَمَنْ يَذْهَبُ مِنْ أَجْلِنَا؟» عِنْدَئِذٍ قُلْتُ: «هَا أَنَا أَرْسِلْنِي». | ٨ |
9 Then he said, “[Okay], go, and say to the [Israeli] people, ‘You will listen carefully [to what I say], but you will not understand it. You will look very carefully [at the things that I am doing], but you will not understand them.’
| فَقَالَ: «امْضِ وَقُلْ لِهَذَا الشَّعْبِ: اسْمَعُوا سَمْعاً وَلَكِنْ لَا تَفْهَمُوا. انْظُرُوا نَظَراً وَلَكِنْ لَا تُدْرِكُوا. | ٩ |
10 [What you(sg) say will] cause these people to become stubborn [IDM]; [it will cause them] to not be able to hear [what I say] and see [what I do]. [As a result, they will not] see [what I want them to see] or hear [what I want them to hear], and they will not understand it, and they will not turn to me and be saved [from being punished].”
| قَسِّ قَلْبَ هَذَا الشَّعْبِ، وَثَقِّلْ أُذْنَيْهِ وَأَغْمِضْ عَيْنَيْهِ لِئَلَّا يَرَى بِعَيْنَيْهِ وَيَسْمَعَ بِأُذْنَيْهِ وَيَفْهَمَ بِقَلْبِهِ، فَيَرْجِعَ عَنْ غَيِّهِ وَيَبْرَأَ». | ١٠ |
11 Then I said, “How long [do you want me to continue to do that]?” He replied, “[Do it] until their cities are ruined [by their enemies], [until] no one is living in their houses, [do it until] all the crops are stolen from their fields and the fields are ruined.
| ثُمَّ قُلْتُ: «إِلَى مَتَى يَا رَبُّ؟» فَأَجَابَ: «إِلَى أَنْ تُصْبِحَ الْمُدُنُ خَرِبَةً مَهْجُورَةً، وَالْبُيُوتُ خَالِيَةً مِنَ الرِّجَالِ، وَالْحُقُولُ خَرَاباً مُقْفِراً. | ١١ |
12 [Do it] until I have (exiled everyone/forced everyone to go to their enemies’ lands) far away, and the whole land [of Israel] is deserted.
| وَيَنْفِيَ الرَّبُّ الإِنْسَانَ بَعِيداً، وَتَكْثُرَ الأَمَاكِنُ الْمُوْحِشَةُ فِي وَسَطِ الأَرْضِ. | ١٢ |
13 If [even] one tenth [of the people survive and] stay there, [their enemies] will [invade the land again and] burn everything. [But, just] like [MET] when an oak [tree] is cut down, a stump is left [from which new shoots will grow], the people who remain [in this land will be a group that will become large again] and be (set apart for/dedicated to) me.”
| وَحَتَّى لَوْ بَقِيَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ عُشْرُ أَهْلِهَا، فَإِنَّهَا سَتُحْرَقُ ثَانِيَةً، وَلَكِنَّهَا تَكُونُ كَالْبُطْمَةِ وَالْبَلُّوطَةِ، الَّتِي وَإِنْ قُطِعَتْ يَبْقَى سَاقُهَا قَائِماً: هَكَذَا يَبْقَى سَاقُهَا زَرْعاً مُقَدَّساً». | ١٣ |
