< Izaija 6 >
1 V letu, ko je kralj Uzíjah umrl, sem videl tudi Gospoda sedeti na prestolu, visokega in dvignjenega in njegova vlečka je napolnila tempelj.
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 Nad njim so stali serafi. Vsak je imel šest peruti. Z dvema je pokril svoj obraz in z dvema je pokril svoja stopala in z dvema je letel.
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 Eden je vzklikal drugemu in govoril: »Svet, svet, svet je Gospod nad bojevniki. Celotna zemlja je polna njegove slave.«
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 Podboji vrat so se premaknili ob glasu tistega, ki je vpil in hiša je bila napolnjena z dimom.
And the lintel shook at the voice they uttered, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 Potem sem rekel: »Gorje meni! Kajti onemel sem, ker sem človek nečistih ustnic in prebivam v sredi ljudstva nečistih ustnic, kajti moje oči so videle kralja, Gospoda nad bojevniki.«
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 Potem je priletel k meni eden izmed serafov, ki je imel v svoji roki žerjavico, ki jo je s kleščami vzel od oltarja.
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 To je položil na moja usta in rekel: »Glej, to se je dotaknilo tvojih ustnic in tvoja krivičnost je odvzeta proč in tvoj greh je očiščen.«
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 Slišal sem tudi glas od Gospoda, rekoč: »Koga naj pošljem in kdo bo šel za nas?« Potem sem rekel: »Tukaj sem, pošlji mene.«
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 Rekel je: »Pojdi in povej temu ljudstvu: ›Resnično, poslušajte, toda ne razumite in resnično glejte, pa ne zaznajte.
You shall hear indeed, but you shall not understand; and you shall see indeed, but you shall not perceive.
10 Naredi srce tega ljudstva debelo in njihova ušesa naredi težka in zapri njihove oči, da ne bi videli s svojimi očmi in [ne bi] slišali s svojimi ušesi in [ne bi] razumeli s svojim srcem in ne bi bili spreobrnjeni in ne bi bili ozdravljeni.‹«
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 Tedaj sem rekel: »Gospod, doklej?« Odgovoril je: »Dokler ne bodo mesta opustošena, brez prebivalca in hiše brez človeka in ne bo dežela popolnoma zapuščena
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 in Gospod je ljudi odstranil daleč proč in tam bo veliko zapuščanja v sredi dežele.
And after this God shall remove the men far off, and they that are left upon the land shall be multiplied.
13 Toda vendar bo v njej desetina in ta se bo vrnila in bo požrta; kakor terebinta in kakor hrast, katerega snov je v njiju, ko odvržeta svoje listje, tako bo sveto seme snov le-tega.«
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.
