< Isaiah 6 >

1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the LORD sitting upon a throne, high and elevated, and his train filled the temple.
وَفِي سَنَةِ وَفَاةِ الْمَلِكِ عُزِّيَّا، شَاهَدْتُ السَّيِّدَ جَالِساً عَلَى عَرْشٍ مُرْتَفِعٍ سَامٍ، وَقَدِ امْتَلأَ الْهَيْكَلُ مِنْ أَهْدَابِهِ،١
2 Above it stood seraphim: each one had six wings; with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.
وَأَحَاطَ بِهِ مَلائِكَةُ السَّرَافِيمِ، لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ سِتَّةُ أَجْنِحَةٍ، أَخْفَى وَجْهَهُ بِجَنَاحَيْنِ، وَغَطَّى قَدَمَيْهِ بِجَنَاحَيْنِ، وَيَطِيرُ بِالْجَنَاحَيْنِ الْبَاقِيَيْنِ.٢
3 And one cried to another, and said, Holy, holy, holy [is] the LORD of hosts: the whole earth [is] full of his glory.
وَنَادَى أَحَدُهُمُ الآخَرَ: «قُدُّوسٌ، قُدُّوسٌ، قُدُّوسٌ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ. مَجْدُهُ مِلْءُ كُلِّ الأَرْضِ».٣
4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
فَاهْتَزَّتْ أُسُسُ أَرْكَانِ الْهَيْكَلِ مِنْ صَوْتِ الْمُنَادِي، وَامْتَلأَ الْهَيْكَلُ بِالدُّخَانِ.٤
5 Then said I, Woe [is] me! for I am undone; because I [am] a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.
فَقُلْتُ: «وَيْلٌ لِي لأَنِّي هَلَكْتُ لأَنِّي إِنْسَانٌ نَجِسُ الشَّفَتَيْنِ، وَأَسْكُنُ وَسَطَ قَوْمٍ دَنِسِي الشِّفَاهِ. فَإِنَّ عَيْنَيَّ قَدْ أَبْصَرَتَا الْمَلِكَ الرَّبَّ الْقَدِيرَ».٥
6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having a live coal in his hand, [which] he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:
فَطَارَ أَحَدُ السَّرَافِيمِ إِلَيَّ وَبِيَدِهِ جَمْرَةٌ أَخَذَهَا مِنْ عَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ،٦
7 And he laid [it] upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thy iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
وَمَسَّ بِها فَمِي قَائِلاً: «انْظُرْ، هَا إِنَّ هَذِهِ قَدْ مَسَّتْ شَفَتَيْكَ فَانْتُزِعَ إِثْمُكَ وَتَمَّ التَّكْفِيرُ عَنْ خَطِيئَتِكَ».٧
8 Also I heard the voice of the LORD, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here [am] I; send me.
وَسَمِعْتُ صَوْتَ الرَّبِّ يَقُولُ: «مَنْ أُرْسِلُ، وَمَنْ يَذْهَبُ مِنْ أَجْلِنَا؟» عِنْدَئِذٍ قُلْتُ: «هَا أَنَا أَرْسِلْنِي».٨
9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.
فَقَالَ: «امْضِ وَقُلْ لِهَذَا الشَّعْبِ: اسْمَعُوا سَمْعاً وَلَكِنْ لَا تَفْهَمُوا. انْظُرُوا نَظَراً وَلَكِنْ لَا تُدْرِكُوا.٩
10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.
قَسِّ قَلْبَ هَذَا الشَّعْبِ، وَثَقِّلْ أُذْنَيْهِ وَأَغْمِضْ عَيْنَيْهِ لِئَلَّا يَرَى بِعَيْنَيْهِ وَيَسْمَعَ بِأُذْنَيْهِ وَيَفْهَمَ بِقَلْبِهِ، فَيَرْجِعَ عَنْ غَيِّهِ وَيَبْرَأَ».١٠
11 Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities shall be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate;
ثُمَّ قُلْتُ: «إِلَى مَتَى يَا رَبُّ؟» فَأَجَابَ: «إِلَى أَنْ تُصْبِحَ الْمُدُنُ خَرِبَةً مَهْجُورَةً، وَالْبُيُوتُ خَالِيَةً مِنَ الرِّجَالِ، وَالْحُقُولُ خَرَاباً مُقْفِراً.١١
12 And the LORD shall have removed men far away, and [there be] a great forsaking in the midst of the land.
وَيَنْفِيَ الرَّبُّ الإِنْسَانَ بَعِيداً، وَتَكْثُرَ الأَمَاكِنُ الْمُوْحِشَةُ فِي وَسَطِ الأَرْضِ.١٢
13 But yet in it [shall be] a tenth, and [it] shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil-tree, and as an oak whose substance [is] in them, when they cast [their leaves]: [so] the holy seed [shall be] the substance of it.
وَحَتَّى لَوْ بَقِيَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ عُشْرُ أَهْلِهَا، فَإِنَّهَا سَتُحْرَقُ ثَانِيَةً، وَلَكِنَّهَا تَكُونُ كَالْبُطْمَةِ وَالْبَلُّوطَةِ، الَّتِي وَإِنْ قُطِعَتْ يَبْقَى سَاقُهَا قَائِماً: هَكَذَا يَبْقَى سَاقُهَا زَرْعاً مُقَدَّساً».١٣
