Isaïe 6
1 L'année de la mort du roi Ozias, je vis le Seigneur assis sur un trône haut et élevé, et les pans de sa robe remplissaient le temple.
In the year of King Uzziah's death I saw the Lord seated in his place, high and lifted up, and the Temple was full of the wide skirts of his robe.
2 Des Séraphins se tenaient devant lui; ils avaient chacun six ailes: de deux ils se couvraient la face, de deux ils se couvraient les pieds, et de deux ils volaient.
Over him were the winged ones: every one had six wings; two for covering his face, two for covering his feed, and two for flight.
3 Et ils criaient l'un à l'autre et disaient: " Saint, saint, saint est Yahweh des armées! toute la terre est pleine de sa gloire. "
And one said in a loud voice to another, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of armies: all the earth is full of his glory.
4 Les fondements des portes étaient ébranlés par la voix de celui qui criait, et la maison se remplit de fumée.
And the bases of the door-pillars were shaking at the sound of his cry, and the house was full of smoke.
5 Alors je dis: " Malheur à moi! je suis perdu! car je suis un homme aux lèvres souillées, et j'habite au milieu d'un peuple aux lèvres souillées, et mes yeux ont vu le Roi, Yahweh des armées! "
Then I said, The curse is on me, and my fate is destruction; for I am a man of unclean lips, living among a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of armies.
6 Mais l'un des Séraphins vola vers moi, tenant à la main un charbon ardent, qu'il avait pris sur l'autel avec des pincettes.
Then a winged one came to me with a burning coal in his hand, which he had taken from off the altar with the fire-spoon.
7 Il en toucha ma bouche et dit: " Vois, ceci a touché tes lèvres; ton iniquité est enlevée et ton péché expié. "
And after touching my mouth with it, he said, See, your lips have been touched with this; and your evil is taken away, and you are made clean from sin.
8 Et j'entendis la voix du Seigneur qui disait: " Qui enverrai-je, et qui ira pour nous? " Et je dis: " Me voici, envoyez-moi. "
And the voice of the Lord came to my ears, saying, Whom am I to send, and who will go for us? Then I said, Here am I, send me.
9 Il dit: " Va, et dis à ce peuple: Entendez, et ne comprenez point; voyez, et n'ayez point l'intelligence.
And he said, Go, and say to this people, You will go on hearing, but learning nothing; you will go on seeing, but without getting wiser.
10 Appesantis le cœur de ce peuple, et rends dures ses oreilles, et bouche-lui les yeux, en sorte qu'il ne voie point de ses yeux et n'entende point de ses oreilles, et qu'il ne se convertisse point et ne soit point guéri. "
Make the hearts of this people fat, and let their ears be stopped, and their eyes shut; for fear that they may see with their eyes, and be hearing with their ears, and their heart may become wise, and they may be turned to me and made well.
11 Et je dis: " jusques à quand, Seigneur? " Il répondit: " Jusqu'à ce que les villes soient dévastées et sans habitants, que les maisons soient sans hommes, et que la terre soit ravagée et déserte;
Then I said, Lord, how long? And he said in answer, Till the towns are waste and unpeopled, and the houses have no men, and the land becomes completely waste,
12 jusqu'à ce que Yahweh ait éloigné les hommes, et que la solitude soit grande dans le pays.
And the Lord has taken men far away, and there are wide waste places in the land.
13 Et s'il y reste encore un dixième de ses habitants, il sera anéanti à son tour. Mais, comme le térébinthe et le chêne, quand ils sont abattus, conservent leur souche, le tronc d'Israël sera une semence sainte. "
And even if there is still a tenth part in it, it will again be burned, like a tree of the woods whose broken end is still in the earth after the tree has been cut down (the holy seed is the broken end).
