< Isaiah 6 >

1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple.
فِي سَنَةِ وَفَاةِ عُزِّيَّا ٱلْمَلِكِ، رَأَيْتُ ٱلسَّيِّدَ جَالِسًا عَلَى كُرْسِيٍّ عَالٍ وَمُرْتَفِعٍ، وَأَذْيَالُهُ تَمْلَأُ ٱلْهَيْكَلَ.١
2 Above him stood the seraphim. Each one had six wings. With two he covered his face. With two he covered his feet. With two he flew.
ٱلسَّرَافِيمُ وَاقِفُونَ فَوْقَهُ، لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ سِتَّةُ أَجْنِحَةٍ، بِٱثْنَيْنِ يُغَطِّي وَجْهَهُ، وَبِٱثْنَيْنِ يُغَطِّي رِجْلَيْهِ، وَبَٱثْنَيْنِ يَطِيرُ.٢
3 One called to another, and said, “Holy, holy, holy, is Yahweh of Armies! The whole earth is full of his glory!”
وَهَذَا نَادَى ذَاكَ وَقَالَ: «قُدُّوسٌ، قُدُّوسٌ، قُدُّوسٌ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. مَجْدُهُ مِلْءُ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ».٣
4 The foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.
فَٱهْتَزَّتْ أَسَاسَاتُ ٱلْعَتَبِ مِنْ صَوْتِ ٱلصَّارِخِ، وَٱمْتَلَأَ ٱلْبَيْتُ دُخَانًا.٤
5 Then I said, “Woe is me! For I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips and I live among a people of unclean lips, for my eyes have seen the King, Yahweh of Armies!”
فَقُلْتُ: «وَيْلٌ لِي! إِنِّي هَلَكْتُ، لِأَنِّي إِنْسَانٌ نَجِسُ ٱلشَّفَتَيْنِ، وَأَنَا سَاكِنٌ بَيْنَ شَعْبٍ نَجِسِ ٱلشَّفَتَيْنِ، لِأَنَّ عَيْنَيَّ قَدْ رَأَتَا ٱلْمَلِكَ رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ».٥
6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar.
فَطَارَ إِلَيَّ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ ٱلسَّرَافِيمِ وَبِيَدِهِ جَمْرَةٌ قَدْ أَخَذَهَا بِمِلْقَطٍ مِنْ عَلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ،٦
7 He touched my mouth with it, and said, “Behold, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin forgiven.”
وَمَسَّ بِهَا فَمِي وَقَالَ: «إِنَّ هَذِهِ قَدْ مَسَّتْ شَفَتَيْكَ، فَٱنْتُزِعَ إِثْمُكَ، وَكُفِّرَ عَنْ خَطِيَّتِكَ».٧
8 I heard the Lord’s voice, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am. Send me!”
ثُمَّ سَمِعْتُ صَوْتَ ٱلسَّيِّدِ قَائِلًا: «مَنْ أُرْسِلُ؟ وَمَنْ يَذْهَبُ مِنْ أَجْلِنَا؟» فَقُلْتُ: «هَأَنَذَا أَرْسِلْنِي».٨
9 He said, “Go, and tell this people, ‘You hear indeed, but don’t understand. You see indeed, but don’t perceive.’
فَقَالَ: «ٱذْهَبْ وَقُلْ لِهَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ: ٱسْمَعُوا سَمْعًا وَلَا تَفْهَمُوا، وَأَبْصِرُوا إِبْصَارًا وَلَا تَعْرِفُوا.٩
10 Make the heart of this people fat. Make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and turn again, and be healed.”
غَلِّظْ قَلْبَ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ وَثَقِّلْ أُذُنَيْهِ وَٱطْمُسْ عَيْنَيْهِ، لِئَلَّا يُبْصِرَ بِعَيْنَيْهِ وَيَسْمَعَ بِأُذُنَيْهِ وَيَفْهَمَ بِقَلْبِهِ، وَيَرْجِعَ فَيُشْفَى».١٠
11 Then I said, “Lord, how long?” He answered, “Until cities are waste without inhabitant, houses without man, the land becomes utterly waste,
فَقُلْتُ: «إِلَى مَتَى أَيُّهَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ؟» فَقَالَ: «إِلَى أَنْ تَصِيرَ ٱلْمُدُنُ خَرِبَةً بِلَا سَاكِنٍ، وَٱلْبُيُوتُ بِلَا إِنْسَانٍ، وَتَخْرَبَ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَتُقْفِرَ،١١
12 and Yahweh has removed men far away, and the forsaken places are many within the land.
وَيُبْعِدَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ، وَيَكْثُرَ ٱلْخَرَابُ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.١٢
13 If there is a tenth left in it, that also will in turn be consumed, as a terebinth, and as an oak whose stump remains when they are cut down, so the holy seed is its stump.”
وَإِنْ بَقِيَ فِيهَا عُشْرٌ بَعْدُ، فَيَعُودُ وَيَصِيرُ لِلْخَرَابِ، وَلَكِنْ كَٱلْبُطْمَةِ وَٱلْبَلُّوطَةِ، ٱلَّتِي وَإِنْ قُطِعَتْ فَلَهَا سَاقٌ، يَكُونُ سَاقُهُ زَرْعًا مُقَدَّسًا».١٣
