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.
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.
2 Des séraphins se tenaient au-dessus de lui; ils avaient chacun six ailes: de deux ils se couvraient la face, et de deux ils se couvraient les pieds, et de deux ils volaient.
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.
3 Et l’un criait à l’autre, et disait: Saint, saint, saint, est l’Éternel des armées; toute la terre est pleine de sa gloire!
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.”
4 Et les fondements des seuils étaient ébranlés à la voix de celui qui criait, et la maison était remplie de fumée.
When they spoke, it caused the doorposts of the temple to shake, and the temple was filled with smoke.
5 Et je dis: Malheur à moi! car je suis perdu; car moi, je suis un homme aux lèvres impures, et je demeure au milieu d’un peuple aux lèvres impures; car mes yeux ont vu le roi, l’Éternel des armées.
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!”
6 Et l’un des séraphins vola vers moi; et il avait en sa main un charbon ardent qu’il avait pris de dessus l’autel avec des pincettes;
Then one of the winged creatures took a hot coal from the altar, using a pair of tongs. He flew to me
7 et il en toucha ma bouche, et dit: Voici, ceci a touché tes lèvres; et ton iniquité est ôtée, et propitiation est faite pour ton péché.
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].”
8 Et j’entendis la voix du Seigneur qui disait: Qui enverrai-je, et qui ira pour nous? Et je dis: Me voici, envoie-moi.
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!”
9 – Et il dit: Va, et dis à ce peuple: En entendant vous entendrez et vous ne comprendrez pas, et en voyant vous verrez et vous ne connaîtrez pas.
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.’
10 Engraisse le cœur de ce peuple, et rends ses oreilles pesantes, et bouche ses yeux, de peur qu’il ne voie des yeux, et n’entende de ses oreilles, et ne comprenne de son cœur, et ne se convertisse, et qu’il ne soit guéri.
[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].”
11 – Et je dis: Jusques à quand, Seigneur? Et il dit: Jusqu’à ce que les villes soient dévastées, de sorte qu’il n’y ait pas d’habitants, et les maisons, de sorte qu’il n’y ait pas d’hommes, et que le sol soit réduit en entière désolation,
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.
12 et que l’Éternel en ait éloigné les hommes, et que la solitude soit grande au milieu du pays.
[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.
13 Mais il y aura encore là un dixième; et il reviendra et il sera brouté, comme le térébinthe et le chêne, dont le tronc [reste] quand ils sont abattus: la semence sainte en sera le tronc.
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.”
