Книга пророка Исаии 6
1 И бысть в лето, в неже умре Озиа царь, видех Господа седяща на престоле высоце и превознесенне, и исполнь дом славы Его.
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted; and the train of His robe filled the temple.
2 И Серафими стояху окрест Его, шесть крил единому и шесть крил другому: и двема убо покрываху лица своя, двема же покрываху ноги своя и двема летаху.
Above Him stood seraphim, each having six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying.
3 И взываху друг ко другу и глаголаху: Свят, Свят, Свят Господь Саваоф: исполнь вся земля славы Его.
And they were calling out to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of Hosts; all the earth is full of His glory.”
4 И взяся наддверие от гласа, имже вопияху, и дом наполнися дыма.
At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook, and the temple was filled with smoke.
5 И рекох: о, окаянный аз, яко умилихся, яко человек сый и нечисты устне имый, посреде людий нечистыя устне имущих аз живу: и Царя Господа Саваофа видех очима моима.
Then I said: “Woe is me, for I am ruined, because I am a man of unclean lips dwelling among a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of Hosts.”
6 И послан бысть ко мне един от Серафимов, и в руце своей имяше угль горящь, егоже клещами взят от олтаря,
Then one of the seraphim flew to me, and in his hand was a glowing coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar.
7 и прикоснуся устнам моим и рече: се, прикоснуся сие устнам твоим, и отимет беззакония твоя и грехи твоя очистит.
And with it he touched my mouth and said: “Now that this has touched your lips, your iniquity is removed and your sin is atoned for.”
8 И слышах глас Господа глаголюща: кого послю, и кто пойдет к людем сим? И рекох: се, аз есмь, посли мя.
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying: “Whom shall I send? Who will go for Us?” And I said: “Here am I. Send me!”
9 И рече: иди и рцы людем сим: слухом услышите, и не уразумеете: и видяще узрите, и не увидите:
And He replied: “Go and tell this people, ‘Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’
10 одебеле бо сердце людий сих, и ушима своима тяжко слышаша, и очи свои смежиша, да не когда узрят очима и ушима услышат, и сердцем уразумеют и обратятся, и изцелю я.
Make the hearts of this people calloused; deafen their ears and close their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed.”
11 И рекох: доколе, Господи? И рече: дондеже опустеют гради, от еже ненаселеным быти, и домы, от еже ненаселеным быти, и домы от еже не быти человеком, и земля останется пуста.
Then I asked: “How long, O Lord?” And He replied: “Until the cities lie ruined and without inhabitant, until the houses are left unoccupied and the land is desolate and ravaged,
12 И посем продолжит Бог человеки, и умножатся оставльшиися на земли.
until the LORD has driven men far away and the land is utterly forsaken.
13 И еще на ней есть десятина, и паки будет в расхищение якоже теревинф и яко желудь, егда испадет из плюски своея: семя свято стояние его.
And though a tenth remains in the land, it will be burned again. As the terebinth and oak leave stumps when felled, so the holy seed will be a stump in the land.”
