Књига пророка Исаије 6
1 Године које умре цар Озија видех Господа где седи на престолу високом и издигнутом, и скут Му испуњаваше цркву.
And it came to pass in the year in which king Ozias died, [that] I saw the Lord sitting on a high and exalted throne, and the house was full of his glory.
2 Серафими стајаху више Њега, сваки их имаше шест крила: двема заклањаше лице своје и двема заклањаше ноге своје, а двема летеше.
And seraphs stood round about him: each one had six wings: and with two they covered [their] face, and with two they covered [their] feet, and with two they flew.
3 И викаху један другом говорећи: Свет, свет, свет је Господ над војскама; пуна је сва земља славе Његове.
And one cried to the other, and they said, Holy, holy, holy [is the] Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
4 И задрмаше се прагови на вратима од гласа којим викаху, и дом се напуни дима.
And the lintel shook at the voice they uttered, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 И рекох: Јао мени! Погибох, јер сам човек нечистих усана, и живим усред народа нечистих усана, јер Цара Господа над војскама видех својим очима.
And I said, Woe is me, for I am pricked to the heart; for being a man, and having unclean lips, I dwell in the midst of a people having unclean lips; and I have seen with mine eyes the King, the Lord of hosts.
6 А један од серафима долете к мени држећи у руци жив угљен, који узе с олтара клештима,
And there was sent to me one of the seraphs, and he had in his hand a coal, which he had taken off the altar with the tongs:
7 И дотаче се уста мојих, и рече: Ево, ово се дотаче уста твојих, и безакоње твоје узе се, и грех твој очисти се.
and he touched my mouth, and said, Behold, this has touched your lips, and will take away your iniquities, and will purge off your sins.
8 Потом чух глас Господњи где рече: Кога ћу послати? И ко ће нам ићи? А ја рекох: Ево мене, пошаљи мене.
And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go to this people? And I said, behold, I am [here], send me. And he said, Go, and say to this people,
9 А Он рече: Иди, и реци том народу: Слушајте али нећете разумети, гледајте али нећете познати.
You shall hear indeed, but you shall not understand; and you shall see indeed, but you shall not perceive.
10 Учини да одебља срце том народу и уши да им отежају, и очи им затвори, да не виде очима својим и ушима својим да не чују и срцем својим да не разумеју и не обрате се и не исцеле.
For the heart of this people has become gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
11 А ја рекох: Докле, Господе? А Он рече: Докле не опусте градови да буду без становника и куће да буду без људи, и земља докле сасвим не опусти,
And I said, How long, O Lord? And he said, Until cities be deserted by reason of their not being inhabited, and the houses by reason of there being no men, and the land shall be left desolate.
12 И докле Господ оправи далеко људе и буде сама пустош у земљи.
And after this God shall remove the men far off, and they that are left upon the land shall be multiplied.
13 Али ће још бити у њој десетина, па ће се и она затрти; али као храст или брест, којима и кад збаце лишће остаје стабло, тако ће свето семе бити њено стабло.
And yet there shall be a tenth upon it, and again it shall be for a spoil, as a turpentine tree, and as an acorn when it falls out of its husk.
