Књига пророка Исаије 6
1 Године које умре цар Озија видех Господа где седи на престолу високом и издигнутом, и скут Му испуњаваше цркву.
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 Серафими стајаху више Њега, сваки их имаше шест крила: двема заклањаше лице своје и двема заклањаше ноге своје, а двема летеше.
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 И викаху један другом говорећи: Свет, свет, свет је Господ над војскама; пуна је сва земља славе Његове.
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 И задрмаше се прагови на вратима од гласа којим викаху, и дом се напуни дима.
When they spoke, it caused the doorposts of the temple to shake, and the temple 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.
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 А један од серафима долете к мени држећи у руци жив угљен, који узе с олтара клештима,
Then one of the winged creatures took a hot coal from the altar, using a pair of tongs. He flew to me
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 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 Потом чух глас Господњи где рече: Кога ћу послати? И ко ће нам ићи? А ја рекох: Ево мене, пошаљи мене.
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 А Он рече: Иди, и реци том народу: Слушајте али нећете разумети, гледајте али нећете познати.
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 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.
[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 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,
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 И докле Господ оправи далеко људе и буде сама пустош у земљи.
[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 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.
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.”
