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 les pans de sa robe remplissaient 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.
Des Séraphins se tenaient devant lui; ils avaient chacun six ailes: de deux ils se couvraient la face, de deux ils se couvraient les pieds, et de deux ils volaient.
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.”
Et ils criaient l’un à l’autre et disaient: « Saint, saint, saint est Yahweh des armées! toute la terre est pleine 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 portes étaient ébranlés par la voix de celui qui criait, et la maison se remplit 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! je suis perdu! car je suis un homme aux lèvres souillées, et j’habite au milieu d’un peuple aux lèvres souillées, et mes yeux ont vu le Roi, Yahweh 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
Mais l’un des Séraphins vola vers moi, tenant à la main un charbon ardent, qu’il avait pris sur l’autel avec des pincettes.
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: « Vois, ceci a touché tes lèvres; ton iniquité est enlevée et ton péché expié. »
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!”
Et j’entendis la voix du Seigneur qui disait: « Qui enverrai-je, et qui ira pour nous? » Et je dis: « 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: Entendez, et ne comprenez point; voyez, et n’ayez pas l’intelligence.
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].”
Appesantis le cœur de ce peuple, et rends dures ses oreilles, et bouche-lui les yeux, en sorte qu’il ne voie pas de ses yeux et n’entende pas de ses oreilles, et qu’il ne se convertisse pas et ne soit pas 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.
Et je dis: « jusques à quand, Seigneur? » Il répondit: « Jusqu’à ce que les villes soient dévastées et sans habitants, que les maisons soient sans hommes, et que la terre soit ravagée et déserte;
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.
jusqu’à ce que Yahweh ait éloigné les hommes, et que la solitude soit grande 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.”
Et s’il y reste encore un dixième de ses habitants, il sera anéanti à son tour. Mais, comme le térébinthe et le chêne, quand ils sont abattus, conservent leur souche, le tronc d’Israël sera une semence sainte. »
