< 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.
وَفِي سَنَةِ وَفَاةِ الْمَلِكِ عُزِّيَّا، شَاهَدْتُ السَّيِّدَ جَالِساً عَلَى عَرْشٍ مُرْتَفِعٍ سَامٍ، وَقَدِ امْتَلأَ الْهَيْكَلُ مِنْ أَهْدَابِهِ،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.
وَأَحَاطَ بِهِ مَلائِكَةُ السَّرَافِيمِ، لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ سِتَّةُ أَجْنِحَةٍ، أَخْفَى وَجْهَهُ بِجَنَاحَيْنِ، وَغَطَّى قَدَمَيْهِ بِجَنَاحَيْنِ، وَيَطِيرُ بِالْجَنَاحَيْنِ الْبَاقِيَيْنِ.٢
3 One called to another, and said, “Holy, holy, holy, is Yahweh of Armies! The whole earth is full of his glory!”
وَنَادَى أَحَدُهُمُ الآخَرَ: «قُدُّوسٌ، قُدُّوسٌ، قُدُّوسٌ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ. مَجْدُهُ مِلْءُ كُلِّ الأَرْضِ».٣
4 The foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.
فَاهْتَزَّتْ أُسُسُ أَرْكَانِ الْهَيْكَلِ مِنْ صَوْتِ الْمُنَادِي، وَامْتَلأَ الْهَيْكَلُ بِالدُّخَانِ.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 لأَنِّي هَلَكْتُ لأَنِّي إِنْسَانٌ نَجِسُ الشَّفَتَيْنِ، وَأَسْكُنُ وَسَطَ قَوْمٍ دَنِسِي الشِّفَاهِ. فَإِنَّ عَيْنَيَّ قَدْ أَبْصَرَتَا الْمَلِكَ الرَّبَّ الْقَدِيرَ».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 أَحَدُ السَّرَافِيمِ إِلَيَّ وَبِيَدِهِ جَمْرَةٌ أَخَذَهَا مِنْ عَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ،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 بِها فَمِي قَائِلاً: «انْظُرْ، هَا إِنَّ هَذِهِ قَدْ مَسَّتْ شَفَتَيْكَ فَانْتُزِعَ إِثْمُكَ وَتَمَّ التَّكْفِيرُ عَنْ خَطِيئَتِكَ».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!”
وَسَمِعْتُ صَوْتَ الرَّبِّ يَقُولُ: «مَنْ أُرْسِلُ، وَمَنْ يَذْهَبُ مِنْ أَجْلِنَا؟» عِنْدَئِذٍ قُلْتُ: «هَا أَنَا 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: «امْضِ وَقُلْ لِهَذَا الشَّعْبِ: اسْمَعُوا سَمْعاً وَلَكِنْ لَا تَفْهَمُوا. انْظُرُوا نَظَراً وَلَكِنْ لَا تُدْرِكُوا.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.”
قَسِّ قَلْبَ هَذَا الشَّعْبِ، وَثَقِّلْ أُذْنَيْهِ وَأَغْمِضْ عَيْنَيْهِ لِئَلَّا يَرَى بِعَيْنَيْهِ وَيَسْمَعَ بِأُذْنَيْهِ وَيَفْهَمَ بِقَلْبِهِ، فَيَرْجِعَ عَنْ غَيِّهِ وَيَبْرَأَ».١٠
11 Then I said, “Lord, how long?” He answered, “Until cities are waste without inhabitant, houses without man, the land becomes utterly waste,
ثُمَّ قُلْتُ: «إِلَى مَتَى يَا رَبُّ؟» فَأَجَابَ: «إِلَى أَنْ تُصْبِحَ الْمُدُنُ خَرِبَةً مَهْجُورَةً، وَالْبُيُوتُ خَالِيَةً مِنَ الرِّجَالِ، وَالْحُقُولُ خَرَاباً مُقْفِراً.١١
12 and Yahweh has removed men far away, and the forsaken places are many within the land.
وَيَنْفِيَ الرَّبُّ الإِنْسَانَ بَعِيداً، وَتَكْثُرَ الأَمَاكِنُ الْمُوْحِشَةُ فِي وَسَطِ الأَرْضِ.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.”
وَحَتَّى لَوْ بَقِيَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ عُشْرُ أَهْلِهَا، فَإِنَّهَا سَتُحْرَقُ ثَانِيَةً، وَلَكِنَّهَا تَكُونُ كَالْبُطْمَةِ وَالْبَلُّوطَةِ، الَّتِي وَإِنْ قُطِعَتْ يَبْقَى سَاقُهَا قَائِماً: هَكَذَا يَبْقَى سَاقُهَا زَرْعاً مُقَدَّساً».١٣
