Izaija 6
1 V letu, ko je kralj Uzíjah umrl, sem videl tudi Gospoda sedeti na prestolu, visokega in dvignjenega in njegova vlečka je napolnila tempelj.
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.
2 Nad njim so stali serafi. Vsak je imel šest peruti. Z dvema je pokril svoj obraz in z dvema je pokril svoja stopala in z dvema je letel.
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.
3 Eden je vzklikal drugemu in govoril: »Svet, svet, svet je Gospod nad bojevniki. Celotna zemlja je polna njegove slave.«
One called to another, and said, “Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of Hosts! The whole earth is full of his glory!”
4 Podboji vrat so se premaknili ob glasu tistega, ki je vpil in hiša je bila napolnjena z dimom.
The foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 Potem sem rekel: »Gorje meni! Kajti onemel sem, ker sem človek nečistih ustnic in prebivam v sredi ljudstva nečistih ustnic, kajti moje oči so videle kralja, Gospoda nad bojevniki.«
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, the LORD of Hosts!”
6 Potem je priletel k meni eden izmed serafov, ki je imel v svoji roki žerjavico, ki jo je s kleščami vzel od oltarja.
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.
7 To je položil na moja usta in rekel: »Glej, to se je dotaknilo tvojih ustnic in tvoja krivičnost je odvzeta proč in tvoj greh je očiščen.«
He touched my mouth with it, and said, “Behold, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin forgiven.”
8 Slišal sem tudi glas od Gospoda, rekoč: »Koga naj pošljem in kdo bo šel za nas?« Potem sem rekel: »Tukaj sem, pošlji mene.«
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!”
9 Rekel je: »Pojdi in povej temu ljudstvu: ›Resnično, poslušajte, toda ne razumite in resnično glejte, pa ne zaznajte.
He said, “Go, and tell this people, ‘You hear indeed, but don’t understand. You see indeed, but don’t perceive.’
10 Naredi srce tega ljudstva debelo in njihova ušesa naredi težka in zapri njihove oči, da ne bi videli s svojimi očmi in [ne bi] slišali s svojimi ušesi in [ne bi] razumeli s svojim srcem in ne bi bili spreobrnjeni in ne bi bili ozdravljeni.‹«
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.”
11 Tedaj sem rekel: »Gospod, doklej?« Odgovoril je: »Dokler ne bodo mesta opustošena, brez prebivalca in hiše brez človeka in ne bo dežela popolnoma zapuščena
Then I said, “Lord, how long?” He answered, “Until cities are waste without inhabitant, houses without man, the land becomes utterly waste,
12 in Gospod je ljudi odstranil daleč proč in tam bo veliko zapuščanja v sredi dežele.
and the LORD has removed men far away, and the forsaken places are many within the land.
13 Toda vendar bo v njej desetina in ta se bo vrnila in bo požrta; kakor terebinta in kakor hrast, katerega snov je v njiju, ko odvržeta svoje listje, tako bo sveto seme snov le-tega.«
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.”
