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.
El año en que murió el rey Uzías, vi al Señor sentado con majestad en un trono alto, y la cola de su manto llenaba 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.
Había serafines sobre él, y cada uno de ellos tenía seis alas: Usaban dos alas para cubrirse la cara, dos para cubrirse los pies y dos para volar.
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.”
Se gritaban unos a otros: Santo, santo, santo es el Señor Todopoderoso; su gloria llena toda la tierra.
4 When they spoke, it caused the doorposts of the temple to shake, and the temple was filled with smoke.
El sonido de sus gritos hizo temblar las columnas y los postes de las puertas, y el Templo se llenaba 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!”
Yo grité: “¡Estoy condenado! Voy a morir porque soy un hombre de labios impuros, y vivo en medio de un pueblo de labios impuros, porque he visto al Rey, al Señor Todopoderoso”.
6 Then one of the winged creatures took a hot coal from the altar, using a pair of tongs. He flew to me
Entonces uno de los serafines voló hacia mí. Llevaba en la mano un carbón encendido que había cogido con unas pinzas 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].”
Me tocó la boca con él y me dijo: “¡Mira! Esto ha tocado tus labios, así que ahora tu culpa ha sido quitada y tu pecado ha sido perdonado”.
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!”
Entonces oí al Señor preguntar: “¿A quién enviaré? ¿Quién irá y hablará por nosotros?” Así que dije: “¡Estoy aquí! Por favor, envíame”.
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.’
Él respondió: “Ve y dile a este pueblo: ‘Siguen escuchando, pero nunca entienden. Sigue viendo, pero nunca comprenden’.
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].”
Haz que las mentes de este pueblo sean insensibles; haz que sus oídos sean sordos y cierra sus ojos. De lo contrario, podrían ver con sus ojos, oír con sus oídos, comprender con sus mentes, y arrepentirse y sanar”.
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.
Entonces le pregunté: “¿Cuánto tiempo durará esto, Señor?” Él respondió: “Hasta que las ciudades queden arruinadas y vacías, las casas abandonadas y la tierra devastada y destruida;
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 el Señor envíe a la gente lejos y el país quede totalmente desierto.
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.”
Aunque una décima parte de la población permanezca en la tierra, ésta volverá a ser destruida. Pero de la misma manera que el terebinto y el roble dejan cepas cuando son cortados, así la semilla sagrada permanecerá como cepa”.
