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 Ouzia, je vis le Seigneur siégeant sur un trône élevé et majestueux, et les pans de son vêtement 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 debout près de lui, chacun, ayant six ailes dont deux cachaient son visage, deux couvraient ses pieds, deux servaient à voler.
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.”
S’Adressant l’un à l’autre, ils s’écriaient: "Saint, saint, saint est l’Eternel-Cebaot! 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.
Et les colonnes des portes s’agitèrent au bruit de cet appel, tandis que l’enceinte s’emplissait 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!”
Et je me dis: "Malheur à moi, je suis perdu! Car je suis un homme aux lèvres impures, je demeure au milieu d’un peuple aux lèvres impures, et mes yeux ont vu le Roi, l’Eternel-Cebaot!"
6 Then one of the winged creatures took a hot coal from the altar, using a pair of tongs. He flew to me
Alors un des séraphins vola à moi, tenant en main une pierre ardente, qu’il avait prise 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 effleura ma bouche et dit: "Ceci a touché tes lèvres, et maintenant tes péchés ont disparu, tes fautes sont effacées."
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!”
Puis, j’entendis la voix du Seigneur disant: "Qui enverrai-je, et qui ira pour nous?" Et je répondis: "Ce sera moi! Envoie-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.’
Et il me dit: "Va, et tu diras à ce peuple: "Obstinez-vous à écouter sans comprendre, et à voir sans saisir.
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].”
Que le cœur de ce peuple soit épaissi, que ses oreilles soient assourdies, que ses yeux soient hébétés, de peur que ses yeux ne voient clair, que ses oreilles n’entendent, que son cœur ne comprenne, qu’il ne s’amende alors et ne soit sauvé!"
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, dans les villes désolées, il n’y ait plus d’habitants; dans les maisons, plus un être humain, et que le pays, dévasté, soit devenu une solitude.
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.
L’Eternel disséminera les hommes, et grand sera l’abandon au sein de ce 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.”
À peine un dixième y survivra, qui, à son tour, sera dévasté; mais tout comme le térébinthe et le chêne, lorsqu’on les abat, conservent leur souche, la race sainte verra subsister une souche."
