Isaiæ 6
1 in anno quo mortuus est rex Ozias vidi Dominum sedentem super solium excelsum et elevatum et ea quae sub eo erant implebant templum
In the year of king 'Uzziyahu's death I saw the Lord sitting upon a high and exalted throne, and his train filled the temple.
2 seraphin stabant super illud sex alae uni et sex alae alteri duabus velabant faciem eius et duabus velabant pedes eius et duabus volabant
Seraphim were standing around him, each one had six wings; with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two did he fly.
3 et clamabant alter ad alterum et dicebant sanctus sanctus sanctus Dominus exercituum plena est omnis terra gloria eius
And one called unto the other, and said, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory.
4 et commota sunt superliminaria cardinum a voce clamantis et domus impleta est fumo
And the posts of the threshold shook at the voice of those that called aloud, 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
And I said, Woe is me! for I am lost; because a man of unclean lips am I, and in the midst of a people of unclean lips do I dwell; for the King, the Lord of hosts have my eyes seen.
6 et volavit ad me unus de seraphin et in manu eius calculus quem forcipe tulerat de altari
Then flew unto me one of the seraphim, and in his hand was a live coal, with the tongs had he taken it from off the altar:
7 et tetigit os meum et dixit ecce tetigit hoc labia tua et auferetur iniquitas tua et peccatum tuum mundabitur
And he touched therewith upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thy iniquity is departed, and thy sin is forgiven.
8 et audivi vocem Domini dicentis quem mittam et quis ibit nobis et dixi ecce ego sum mitte me
And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? And I said, Here am I: send me.
9 et dixit vade et dices populo huic audite audientes et nolite intellegere et videte visionem et nolite cognoscere
And he said, Go, and say unto this people, Hear indeed, but understand not; and see indeed, but know not.
10 excaeca cor populi huius et aures eius adgrava et oculos eius claude ne forte videat oculis suis et auribus suis audiat et corde suo intellegat et convertatur et sanem eum
Obdurate will remain the heart of this people, and their ears will be heavy, and their eyes will be shut: so that they will not see with their eyes, nor hear with their ears, nor their hearts be understanding, so that they be converted, and healing be granted them.
11 et dixi usquequo Domine et dixit donec desolentur civitates absque habitatore et domus sine homine et terra relinquetur deserta
And I said, How long, O Lord? And he said, Until that cities be left waste without an inhabitant, and houses without man, and the soil be made desolate as a wilderness,
12 et longe faciet Dominus homines et multiplicabitur quae derelicta fuerat in medio terrae
And the Lord will have removed far away the men, and the depopulation be great in the midst of the land.
13 et adhuc in ea decimatio et convertetur et erit in ostensionem sicut terebinthus et sicuti quercus quae expandit ramos suos semen sanctum erit id quod steterit in ea
And should a tenth part thereof yet remain, it will again be swept away: [yet] like the terebinth and the oak, which, when they cast their leaves, retain their stems, so remaineth the holy seed, its stem.
