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.
Κατά το έτος εν ω απέθανεν Οζίας ο βασιλεύς, είδον τον Κύριον καθήμενον επί θρόνου υψηλού και επηρμένου, και το κράσπεδον αυτού εγέμισε τον ναόν.
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.
Άνωθεν αυτού ίσταντο Σεραφείμ ανά εξ πτέρυγας έχοντα έκαστον με τας δύο εκάλυπτε το πρόσωπον αυτού και με τας δύο εκάλυπτε τους πόδας αυτού και με τας δύο επέτα.
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.”
Και έκραζε το εν προς το άλλο και έλεγεν, Άγιος, άγιος, άγιος ο Κύριος των δυνάμεων πάσα η γη είναι πλήρης της δόξης αυτού.
4 When they spoke, it caused the doorposts of the temple to shake, and the temple was filled with smoke.
Και οι παραστάται της θύρας εσείσθησαν εκ της φωνής του κράζοντος, και ο οίκος επλήσθη καπνού.
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!”
Τότε είπα, Ω τάλας εγώ διότι εχάθην επειδή είμαι άνθρωπος ακαθάρτων χειλέων και κατοικώ εν μέσω λαού ακαθάρτων χειλέων επειδή οι οφθαλμοί μου είδον τον Βασιλέα, τον Κύριον των δυνάμεων.
6 Then one of the winged creatures took a hot coal from the altar, using a pair of tongs. He flew to me
Τότε επέτασε προς εμέ εν εκ των Σεραφείμ έχον εν τη χειρί αυτού άνθρακα πυρός, τον οποίον έλαβε διά της λαβίδος από του θυσιαστηρίου.
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].”
Και ήγγισεν αυτόν εις το στόμα μου και είπεν, Ιδού, τούτο ήγγισε τα χείλη σου και η ανομία σου εξηλείφθη και η αμαρτία σου εκαθαρίσθη.
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!”
Και ήκουσα την φωνήν του Κυρίου, λέγοντος, Τίνα θέλω αποστείλει, και τις θέλει υπάγει διά ημάς; Τότε είπα, Ιδού, εγώ, απόστειλόν με.
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.’
Και είπεν, Ύπαγε και ειπέ προς τούτον τον λαόν, με την ακοήν θέλετε ακούσει και δεν θέλετε εννοήσει και βλέποντες θέλετε ιδεί και δεν θέλετε καταλάβει
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].”
επαχύνθη η καρδία του λαού τούτου, και έγειναν βαρέα τα ώτα αυτών, και έκλεισαν τους οφθαλμούς αυτών, διά να μη βλέπωσι με τους οφθαλμούς αυτών και ακούωσι με τα ώτα αυτών και νοήσωσι με την καρδίαν αυτών και επιστρέψωσι και θεραπευθώσι.
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.
Τότε είπα, Κύριε, έως πότε; Και απεκρίθη, Εωσού ερημωθώσιν αι πόλεις, ώστε να μη υπάρχη κάτοικος, και αι οικίαι, ώστε να μη υπάρχη άνθρωπος, και η γη να ερημωθή παντάπασιν
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.
και απομακρύνη ο Κύριος τους ανθρώπους, και γείνη μεγάλη εγκατάλειψις εν τω μέσω της γης.
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.”
Έτι όμως θέλει μείνει εν αυτή εν δέκατον, και αυτό πάλιν θέλει καταφαγωθή καθώς η τερέβινθος και η δρυς, των οποίων ο κορμός μένει εν αυταίς όταν κόπτωνται, ούτω το άγιον σπέρμα θέλει είσθαι ο κορμός αυτής.
