Isaías 6
1 El año en que murió el rey Uzías, vi al Señor sentado en un trono alto y elevado, y su cortejo 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 Sobre él estaban los serafines. Cada uno tenía seis alas. Con dos se cubría el rostro. Con dos se cubría los pies. Con dos volaba.
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 Uno llamó a otro y le dijo “¡Santo, santo, santo, es Yahvé de los Ejércitos! Toda la tierra está llena de su gloria”.
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 Los cimientos de los umbrales temblaron a la voz del que llamaba, y la casa se llenó 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 Entonces dije: “¡Ay de mí! Porque estoy deshecho, ya que soy un hombre de labios impuros y vivo en medio de un pueblo de labios impuros, ¡pues mis ojos han visto al Rey, Yahvé de los Ejércitos!”
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, teniendo en su mano un carbón vivo, que había tomado con las tenazas 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 Tocó mi boca con él, y dijo: “He aquí que esto ha tocado tus labios; y tu iniquidad es quitada, y tu pecado 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 Oí la voz del Señor, que decía: “¿A quién enviaré y quién irá por nosotros?” Entonces dije: “Aquí estoy. 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 Dijo: “Ve y dile a este pueblo, ‘Oyes, en efecto, pero no lo entienden. Ya ves que sí, pero no perciben’.
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 Engorda el corazón de este pueblo. Haz que les pesen los oídos y que cierren los ojos; para que no vean con sus ojos, oyen con sus oídos, entender con el corazón, y vuélvete, y cúrate”.
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 dije: “Señor, ¿hasta cuándo?” Él respondió, “Hasta que las ciudades sean residuos sin habitante, casas sin hombre, la tierra se convierte en un completo desperdicio,
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 y Yahvé ha alejado a los hombres, y los lugares abandonados son muchos dentro de la tierra.
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 Si queda un décimo en él, que también se consumirá a su vez, como un terebinto, y como un roble cuyo tocón permanece cuando se cortan, por lo que la semilla sagrada es su muñón”.
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.
