Isaías 6
1 El año en que murió el rey Uzías, vi al Señor sentado con majestad en un trono alto, y la cola de su manto llenaba el Templo.
In the year in which king Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, sublime and exalted, and the things that were under him filled the temple.
2 Había serafines sobre él, y cada uno de ellos tenía seis alas: Usaban dos alas para cubrirse la cara, dos para cubrirse los pies y dos para volar.
The Seraphim were standing above the throne. One had six wings, and the other had six wings: with two they were covering his face, and with two they were covering his feet, and with two they were flying.
3 Se gritaban unos a otros: Santo, santo, santo es el Señor Todopoderoso; su gloria llena toda la tierra.
And they were crying out to one another, and saying: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God of hosts! All the earth is filled with his glory!”
4 El sonido de sus gritos hizo temblar las columnas y los postes de las puertas, y el Templo se llenaba de humo.
And the lintels above the hinges were shaken at the voice of the one crying out. And the house was filled with smoke.
5 Yo grité: “¡Estoy condenado! Voy a morir porque soy un hombre de labios impuros, y vivo en medio de un pueblo de labios impuros, porque he visto al Rey, al Señor Todopoderoso”.
And I said: “Woe to me! For I have remained silent. For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live in the midst of a people having unclean lips, and I have seen with my eyes the King, the Lord of hosts!”
6 Entonces uno de los serafines voló hacia mí. Llevaba en la mano un carbón encendido que había cogido con unas pinzas del altar.
And one of the Seraphim flew to me, and in his hand was a burning coal, which he had taken with tongs from the altar.
7 Me tocó la boca con él y me dijo: “¡Mira! Esto ha tocado tus labios, así que ahora tu culpa ha sido quitada y tu pecado ha sido perdonado”.
And he touched my mouth, and he said, “Behold, this has touched your lips, and so your iniquities will be taken away, and your sin will be cleansed.”
8 Entonces oí al Señor preguntar: “¿A quién enviaré? ¿Quién irá y hablará por nosotros?” Así que dije: “¡Estoy aquí! Por favor, envíame”.
And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send?” and, “Who will go for us?” And I said: “Here I am. Send me.”
9 Él respondió: “Ve y dile a este pueblo: ‘Siguen escuchando, pero nunca entienden. Sigue viendo, pero nunca comprenden’.
And he said: “Go forth! And you shall say to this people: ‘When you listen, you will hear and not understand. And when you see a vision, you will not comprehend.’
10 Haz que las mentes de este pueblo sean insensibles; haz que sus oídos sean sordos y cierra sus ojos. De lo contrario, podrían ver con sus ojos, oír con sus oídos, comprender con sus mentes, y arrepentirse y sanar”.
Blind the heart of this people. Make their ears heavy and close their eyes, lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and then I would heal them.”
11 Entonces le pregunté: “¿Cuánto tiempo durará esto, Señor?” Él respondió: “Hasta que las ciudades queden arruinadas y vacías, las casas abandonadas y la tierra devastada y destruida;
And I said, “For how long, O Lord?” And he said, “Until the cities are desolate, without an inhabitant, and the houses are without a man, and the land will be left behind, deserted.”
12 hasta que el Señor envíe a la gente lejos y el país quede totalmente desierto.
For the Lord will take the men far away, and she who will have been left behind will be multiplied in the midst of the earth.
13 Aunque una décima parte de la población permanezca en la tierra, ésta volverá a ser destruida. Pero de la misma manera que el terebinto y el roble dejan cepas cuando son cortados, así la semilla sagrada permanecerá como cepa”.
But still, there will be a tithing within her, and she will be converted, and she will be put on display, like a terebinth tree and like an oak which extends its branches. And what will remain standing within her will be a holy offspring.
