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.
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 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.
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 Uno llamó a otro y le dijo “¡Santo, santo, santo, es Yahvé de los Ejércitos! Toda la tierra está llena de su gloria”.
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 Los cimientos de los umbrales temblaron a la voz del que llamaba, y la casa se llenó de humo.
When they spoke, it caused the doorposts of the temple to shake, and the temple 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!”
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 Entonces uno de los serafines voló hacia mí, teniendo en su mano un carbón vivo, que había tomado con las tenazas del altar.
Then one of the winged creatures took a hot coal from the altar, using a pair of tongs. He flew to me
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 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 Oí la voz del Señor, que decía: “¿A quién enviaré y quién irá por nosotros?” Entonces dije: “Aquí estoy. Envíame”.
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 Dijo: “Ve y dile a este pueblo, ‘Oyes, en efecto, pero no lo entienden. Ya ves que sí, pero no perciben’.
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 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”.
[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 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,
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 y Yahvé ha alejado a los hombres, y los lugares abandonados son muchos dentro de la tierra.
[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 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”.
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.”
