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.
L'année de la mort du roi Ozias, je vis le Seigneur assis sur un trône, haut et élevé, et sa traîne remplissait le temple.
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.
Au-dessus de lui se tenaient les séraphins. Chacun d'eux avait six ailes. De deux ailes, il se couvrait le visage. De deux, il se couvrait les pieds. De deux ailes, il volait.
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.”
L`un d`eux appela l`autre, et dit, « Saint, saint, saint, Yahvé des armées! La terre entière est remplie de sa gloire! »
4 When they spoke, it caused the doorposts of the temple to shake, and the temple was filled with smoke.
Les fondements des seuils ont tremblé à la voix de celui qui appelait, et la maison s'est remplie de fumée.
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!”
Alors je dis: « Malheur à moi! Car je suis perdu, parce que je suis un homme aux lèvres impures et que j'habite au milieu d'un peuple aux lèvres impures, car mes yeux ont vu le Roi, Yahvé des Armées! »
6 Then one of the winged creatures took a hot coal from the altar, using a pair of tongs. He flew to me
Et l'un des séraphins vola vers moi, tenant à la main un charbon vivant qu'il avait pris sur l'autel avec les pinces.
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].”
Il en toucha ma bouche, et dit: « Voici, ceci a touché tes lèvres; ton iniquité est effacée, et ton péché est pardonné. »
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!”
J'ai entendu la voix du Seigneur, qui disait: « Qui enverrai-je et qui ira pour nous? » Alors j'ai dit: « Me voici. Envoyez-moi! »
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.’
Il dit: « Va, et dis à ce peuple, Vous entendez en effet, mais ne comprennent pas. Vous voyez en effet, mais ne perçoivent pas.
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].”
Rends gras le cœur de ce peuple. Rendez leurs oreilles lourdes, et fermez leurs yeux; de peur qu'ils ne voient avec leurs yeux, entendent avec leurs oreilles, comprennent avec leur cœur, et retournez-vous, et soyez guéri. »
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.
Alors j'ai dit: « Seigneur, combien de temps? » Il a répondu, « Jusqu'à ce que les villes soient des déchets sans habitant, des maisons sans homme, la terre devient complètement désolée,
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.
et Yahvé a éloigné les hommes, et les lieux abandonnés sont nombreux dans le pays.
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.”
S'il lui reste un dixième, qui seront également consommés à leur tour, comme un térébinthe, et comme un chêne dont il reste la souche lorsqu'ils sont abattus, alors la semence sainte est sa souche. »
