Isaiah 6
1 In the year that king Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne; he was high and elevated, and the hem of his robe filled the temple.
烏齊雅王逝世那年，我看見吾主坐在崇高的御座上，他的衣邊拖曳滿殿。「
2 Above him were the seraphim; each one had six wings; with two each covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.
色辣芬」侍立在他左右，各有六個翅膀：兩個蓋住臉，兩個蓋住腳，兩個用來飛翔。
3 Each one called to another and said, “Holy, holy, holy, is Yahweh of hosts! The whole earth is full of his glory.”
他們互相高呼說：「聖！聖！聖！萬軍的上主！他的光榮充滿大地！」
4 The foundations of the thresholds shook at the voices of those who were crying out, and the house was filled with smoke.
由於呼喊的聲音，門限的基石也震撼了；殿宇內充滿了煙霧。
5 Then I said, “Woe is me! For I am doomed because I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, because my eyes have seen the King, Yahweh, Yahweh of hosts!”
我遂說：「我有禍了！我完了！因為我是個唇舌不潔的人，住在唇舌不潔的人民中間，竟親眼見了君王－－萬軍的上主！」
6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me; he had a glowing coal in his hand, that he had taken with the tongs from off the altar.
當時有一個「色辣芬」飛到我面前，手中拿著鉗子，從祭壇上取了一塊火炭，
7 He touched my mouth with it and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt has been taken away, and your sin atoned for.”
接觸我的口說：「你看，這炭接觸了你的口唇，你的邪惡已經消除，你的罪孽已獲赦免！」
8 I heard the voice of the Lord say, “Whom shall I send; who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am; send me.”
那時我聽見吾主的聲音說：「我將派遣誰呢﹖誰肯為我們去呢﹖」我回答說：「我在這裏，請派遣我 ！」
9 He said, “Go and tell this people, 'Listen, but do not understand; see, but do not perceive.'
他說：「你去對這民族說：你們聽是聽，但不明白；看是看，卻不理解。
10 Make the heart of this people insensitive, and their ears dull, and blind their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and then turn and be healed.”
你要使這民族的心遲鈍，使他們的耳朵沉重，使他們的眼睛迷矇，免得他們的眼睛看見，耳朵聽見，心裏覺悟而悔改，獲得痊癒。」
11 Then I said, “Lord, how long?” He answered, “Until cities crash into ruins and are without inhabitants, and the houses are without people, and the land falls into a desolate waste,
我追問說：「吾主！要到幾時呢﹖」他回答說：「直到城邑變成廢墟，沒有居民，房屋無人居住，田地變為荒蕪。」
12 and until Yahweh has sent the people far away, and the solitude of the land is great.
上主必將人民遷到遠方，本地區荒蕪異常。
13 Even if a tenth of the people remain in it, it will again be destroyed; as a terebinth or an oak is cut down and whose trunk remains, the holy seed is in its stump.”
境內雖只留下十分之一，還要遭受摧殘；就如松樹和樟樹在伐倒後，尚留有餘幹，聖善的苗裔將由這餘幹產生。
