Isaiæ 6
1 In anno, quo mortuus est rex Ozias, vidi Dominum sedentem super solium excelsum et elevatum: et ea, quae sub ipso erant, replebant templum et plena erat domus a maiestate eius:
In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
2 Seraphim stabant super illud: sex alae uni, et sex alae alteri: duabus velabant faciem eius, et duabus velabant pedes eius, et duabus volabant.
Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
3 Et clamabant alter ad alterum, et dicebant: Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus, Dominus Deus exercituum, plena est omnis terra gloria eius.
And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is Yhwh of Armies: the whole earth is full of his glory.
4 Et commota sunt superliminaria cardinum a voce clamantis, et domus repleta est fumo.
And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 Et dixi: Vae mihi, quia tacui, quia vir pollutus labiis ego sum, et in medio populi polluta labia habentis ego habito, et regem Dominum exercituum vidi oculis meis.
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 mine eyes have seen the King, Yhwh of Armies.
6 Et volavit ad me unus de Seraphim, et in manu eius calculus, quem forcipe tulerat de altari.
Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:
7 Et tetigit os meum, et dixit: Ecce tetigi hoc labia tua, et auferetur iniquitas tua, et peccatum tuum mundabitur.
And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
8 Et audivi vocem Domini dicentis: Quem mittam? et quis ibit nobis? Et dixi: Ecce ego, mitte me.
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.
9 Et dixit: Vade, et dices populo huic: Audite audientes, et nolite intelligere: videte visionem, et nolite cognoscere.
And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.
10 Excaeca cor populi huius, et aures eius aggrava: et oculos eius claude: ne forte videat oculis suis, et auribus suis audiat, et corde suo intelligat, et convertatur, et sanem eum.
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.
11 Et dixi: Usquequo Domine? et dixit: Donec desolentur civitates absque habitatore, et domus sine homine, et terra relinquetur deserta.
Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,
12 Et longe faciet Dominus homines, et multiplicabitur quae derelicta fuerat in medio terrae.
And Yhwh have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.
13 Et adhuc in ea decimatio, et convertetur, et erit in ostensionem sicut terebinthus, et sicut quercus, quae expandit ramos suos: semen sanctum erit id, quod steterit in ea.
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 thereof.
