Књига пророка Исаије 6
1 Године које умре цар Озија видех Господа где седи на престолу високом и издигнутом, и скут Му испуњаваше цркву.
In the year of King Uzziah's death I saw the Lord seated in his place, high and lifted up, and the Temple was full of the wide skirts of his robe.
2 Серафими стајаху више Њега, сваки их имаше шест крила: двема заклањаше лице своје и двема заклањаше ноге своје, а двема летеше.
Over him were the winged ones: every one had six wings; two for covering his face, two for covering his feed, and two for flight.
3 И викаху један другом говорећи: Свет, свет, свет је Господ над војскама; пуна је сва земља славе Његове.
And one said in a loud voice to another, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of armies: all the earth is full of his glory.
4 И задрмаше се прагови на вратима од гласа којим викаху, и дом се напуни дима.
And the bases of the door-pillars were shaking at the sound of his cry, and the house was full of smoke.
5 И рекох: Јао мени! Погибох, јер сам човек нечистих усана, и живим усред народа нечистих усана, јер Цара Господа над војскама видех својим очима.
Then I said, The curse is on me, and my fate is destruction; for I am a man of unclean lips, living among a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of armies.
6 А један од серафима долете к мени држећи у руци жив угљен, који узе с олтара клештима,
Then a winged one came to me with a burning coal in his hand, which he had taken from off the altar with the fire-spoon.
7 И дотаче се уста мојих, и рече: Ево, ово се дотаче уста твојих, и безакоње твоје узе се, и грех твој очисти се.
And after touching my mouth with it, he said, See, your lips have been touched with this; and your evil is taken away, and you are made clean from sin.
8 Потом чух глас Господњи где рече: Кога ћу послати? И ко ће нам ићи? А ја рекох: Ево мене, пошаљи мене.
And the voice of the Lord came to my ears, saying, Whom am I to send, and who will go for us? Then I said, Here am I, send me.
9 А Он рече: Иди, и реци том народу: Слушајте али нећете разумети, гледајте али нећете познати.
And he said, Go, and say to this people, You will go on hearing, but learning nothing; you will go on seeing, but without getting wiser.
10 Учини да одебља срце том народу и уши да им отежају, и очи им затвори, да не виде очима својим и ушима својим да не чују и срцем својим да не разумеју и не обрате се и не исцеле.
Make the hearts of this people fat, and let their ears be stopped, and their eyes shut; for fear that they may see with their eyes, and be hearing with their ears, and their heart may become wise, and they may be turned to me and made well.
11 А ја рекох: Докле, Господе? А Он рече: Докле не опусте градови да буду без становника и куће да буду без људи, и земља докле сасвим не опусти,
Then I said, Lord, how long? And he said in answer, Till the towns are waste and unpeopled, and the houses have no men, and the land becomes completely waste,
12 И докле Господ оправи далеко људе и буде сама пустош у земљи.
And the Lord has taken men far away, and there are wide waste places in the land.
13 Али ће још бити у њој десетина, па ће се и она затрти; али као храст или брест, којима и кад збаце лишће остаје стабло, тако ће свето семе бити њено стабло.
And even if there is still a tenth part in it, it will again be burned, like a tree of the woods whose broken end is still in the earth after the tree has been cut down (the holy seed is the broken end).
