< 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.
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 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.
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 Eden je vzklikal drugemu in govoril: »Svet, svet, svet je Gospod nad bojevniki. Celotna zemlja je polna njegove slave.«
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 Podboji vrat so se premaknili ob glasu tistega, ki je vpil in hiša je bila napolnjena z dimom.
When they spoke, it caused the doorposts of the temple to shake, and the temple 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.«
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 Potem je priletel k meni eden izmed serafov, ki je imel v svoji roki žerjavico, ki jo je s kleščami vzel od oltarja.
Then one of the winged creatures took a hot coal from the altar, using a pair of tongs. He flew to me
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 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 Slišal sem tudi glas od Gospoda, rekoč: »Koga naj pošljem in kdo bo šel za nas?« Potem sem rekel: »Tukaj sem, pošlji mene.«
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 Rekel je: »Pojdi in povej temu ljudstvu: ›Resnično, poslušajte, toda ne razumite in resnično glejte, pa ne zaznajte.
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 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.‹«
[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 Tedaj sem rekel: »Gospod, doklej?« Odgovoril je: »Dokler ne bodo mesta opustošena, brez prebivalca in hiše brez človeka in ne bo dežela popolnoma zapuščena
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 in Gospod je ljudi odstranil daleč proč in tam bo veliko zapuščanja v sredi dežele.
[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 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.«
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.”
