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 Hosias, je vis le Seigneur assis sur un trône éminent et élevé, et les pans de son manteau 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 debout l'entouraient; ils avaient chacun d'eux six ailes: de deux ils se couvraient le visage, et 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 s'entre-répondaient disant: Saint, saint, saint est l'Éternel des armées! toute la terre est pleine de sa magnificence!
4 When they spoke, it caused the doorposts of the temple to shake, and the temple was filled with smoke.
Et les bases des seuils s'ébranlaient à la voix de ce chœur, 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 vais périr! 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, l'Éternel 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 jusqu'à moi, ayant dans sa main une pierre brûlante qu'avec une pince il avait prise sur l'autel.
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].”
Et il en toucha ma bouche et dit: Voici, ceci a touché tes lèvres, et ton crime est enlevé, 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? Alors je dis: Me voici! 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 dit: Va, et dis à ce peuple: Écoutez, écoutez! mais vous n'entendrez pas! regardez! regardez! mais vous ne comprendrez 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].”
Appesantis le cœur de ce peuple, et rends ses oreilles dures, et ses yeux aveugles! de peur qu'il ne voie de ses yeux et n'entende de ses oreilles, et que son cœur ne comprenne, et qu'il ne se convertisse et ne soit 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 je dis: Jusques à quand?… Seigneur! Et il dit: Jusqu'à ce que s'écroulent leurs villes privées d'habitants, et leurs maisons privées d'hommes, et que leur pays soit désolé et désert.
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.
Car l'Éternel éloignera les hommes, et grande sera la solitude 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.”
Que s'il y reste encore la dixième partie, une seconde ruine l'atteindra. Mais tel un térébinthe ou un chêne auquel, après la coupe, il reste un rejeton, ainsi [il lui restera] une sainte race pour rejeton.
