Isaiæ 6
1 In anno, quo mortuus est rex Ozias, vidi Dominum sedentem super solium excelsum et elevatum: et ea, quæ sub ipso erant, replebant templum:
And it came to pass in the year in which king Ozias died, [that] I saw the Lord sitting on a high and exalted throne, and the house was full of his glory.
2 Seraphim stabant super illud: sex alæ uni, et sex alæ alteri: duabus velabant faciem eius, et duabus velabant pedes eius, et duabus volabant.
And seraphs stood round about him: each one had six wings: and with two they covered [their] face, and with two they covered [their] feet, and with two they flew.
3 Et clamabant alter ad alterum, et dicebant: Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus, Dominus Deus exercituum, plena est omnis terra gloria eius.
And one cried to the other, and they said, Holy, holy, holy [is the] Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
4 Et commota sunt superliminaria cardinum a voce clamantis, et domus repleta est fumo.
And the lintel shook at the voice they uttered, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 Et dixi: Væ mihi, quia tacui, quia vir pollutus labiis ego sum, et in medio populi polluta labia habentis ego habito, et Regem Dominum exercituum vidi oculis meis.
And I said, Woe is me, for I am pricked to the heart; for being a man, and having unclean lips, I dwell in the midst of a people having unclean lips; and I have seen with mine eyes the King, the Lord of hosts.
6 Et volavit ad me unus de Seraphim, et in manu eius calculus, quem forcipe tulerat de altari.
And there was sent to me one of the seraphs, and he had in his hand a coal, which he had taken off the altar with the tongs:
7 Et tetigit os meum, et dixit: Ecce, tetigit hoc labia tua, et auferetur iniquitas tua, et peccatum tuum mundabitur.
and he touched my mouth, and said, Behold, this has touched your lips, and will take away your iniquities, and will purge off your sins.
8 Et audivi vocem Domini dicentis: Quem mittam? Et quis ibit nobis? Et dixi: Ecce ego, mitte me.
And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go to this people? And I said, behold, I am [here], send me. And he said, Go, and say to this people,
9 Et dixit: Vade, et dices populo huic: Audite audientes, et nolite intelligere: et videte visionem, et nolite cognoscere.
You shall hear indeed, but you shall not understand; and you shall see indeed, but you shall not perceive.
10 Excæca cor populi huius, et aures eius aggrava: et oculos eius claude: ne forte videat oculis suis, et auribus suis audiat, et corde suo intelligat, et convertatur, et sanem eum.
For the heart of this people has become gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
11 Et dixi: Usquequo Domine? Et dixit: Donec desolentur civitates absque habitatore, et domus sine homine, et terra relinquetur deserta.
And I said, How long, O Lord? And he said, Until cities be deserted by reason of their not being inhabited, and the houses by reason of there being no men, and the land shall be left desolate.
12 Et longe faciet Dominus homines, et multiplicabitur quæ derelicta fuerat in medio terræ.
And after this God shall remove the men far off, and they that are left upon the land shall be multiplied.
13 Et adhuc in ea decimatio, et convertetur, et erit in ostensionem sicut terebinthus, et sicut quercus, quæ expandit ramos suos: semen sanctum erit id, quod steterit in ea.
And yet there shall be a tenth upon it, and again it shall be for a spoil, as a turpentine tree, and as an acorn when it falls out of its husk.
