< 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.
En el año en que murió el rey Ocías, vi al Señor sentado en un trono alto y excelso y las faldas de su vestido llenaban el Templo.
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.
Encima de Él había serafines, cada uno de los cuales tenía seis alas: con dos se cubrían el rostro, con dos los pies, y con dos volaban.
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.”
Y clamaban unos a otros, diciendo: “Santo, santo, santo es Yahvé de los ejércitos, llena está toda la tierra de su gloria.”
4 When they spoke, it caused the doorposts of the temple to shake, and the temple was filled with smoke.
Y los fundamentos de los umbrales se conmovieron a la voz del que clamaba; y la Casa se llenó de humo.
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!”
Entonces dije: “¡Ay de mí, que estoy perdido! Pues soy hombre de labios impuros, y habito en un pueblo de labios impuros, y mis ojos han visto al Rey, Señor de los ejércitos.”
6 Then one of the winged creatures took a hot coal from the altar, using a pair of tongs. He flew to me
Y voló hacia mí uno de los serafines, que tenía en su mano una brasa ardiente, la cual con las tenazas había tomado de encima del altar.
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].”
Con ella tocó mi boca y dijo: “Mira, esto ha tocado tus labios; quitada está tu iniquidad, y expiado tu pecado.”
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!”
Y oí la voz del Señor que decía: “¿A quién enviaré, y quién irá por nosotros?” Respondí: “Heme aquí; envíame a mí.”
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.’
Y dijo Él: “Ve y di a este pueblo: Oíd, y no entendáis; ved, y no conozcáis.
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].”
Embota el corazón de este pueblo, y haz que sean sordos sus oídos y ciegos sus ojos; no sea que vea con sus ojos, y oiga con sus oídos, y con su corazón entienda, y se convierta y encuentre salud.”
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.
Yo pregunté: “¿Hasta cuándo, Señor?”. Y respondió: “Hasta que las ciudades queden devastadas y sin moradores, y las casas sin habitantes, y la tierra convertida en ruina completa;
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.
hasta que Yahvé arroje lejos a los hombres, y la desolación abunde en medio de la tierra.
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.”
Y si quedare de ellos solo la décima parte, volverán a ser destruidos. Mas como del terebinto y de la encina, aun talados, queda el tronco, así el tronco de (Israel) será semilla santa.”
