Isaiah 6

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	BIBLES DES PEUPLES
1 In the year in which king Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, sublime and exalted, and the things that were under him filled the temple.	1 L’année de la mort du roi Ozias, je vis le Seigneur assis sur un trône haut et surélevé; les pans de son manteau remplissaient le Sanctuaire.
2 The Seraphims were standing above the throne. One had six wings, and the other had six wings: with two they were covering his face, and with two they were covering his feet, and with two they were flying.	2 Des séraphins se tenaient au-dessus de lui; chacun d’eux avait six ailes; de deux ailes ils se couvraient la face, de deux ailes ils se couvraient les pieds, de deux ailes ils volaient.
3 And they were crying out to one another, and saying: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God of hosts! All the earth is filled with his glory!”	3 Ils se criaient l’un à l’autre: “Saint, saint, saint, Yahvé Sabaot! Toute la terre est remplie de sa Gloire.”
4 And the lintels above the hinges were shaken at the voice of the one crying out. And the house was filled with smoke.	4 Cette acclamation faisait trembler les poteaux du portail: le Temple se remplit de fumée.
5 And I said: “Woe to me! For I have remained silent. For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live in the midst of a people having unclean lips, and I have seen with my eyes the King, the Lord of hosts!”	5 Alors je dis: “Malheur à moi, je suis perdu! Oui, je suis un homme aux lèvres impures, je vis au milieu d’un peuple aux lèvres impures, et mes yeux ont vu le roi, Yahvé Sabaot!”
6 And one of the Seraphims flew to me, and in his hand was a burning coal, which he had taken with tongs from the altar.	6 L’un des séraphins vola vers moi. Dans sa main il tenait un charbon ardent qu’il avait pris sur l’autel avec des pincettes.
7 And he touched my mouth, and he said, “Behold, this has touched your lips, and so your iniquities will be taken away, and your sin will be cleansed.”	7 Il me toucha la bouche et me dit: “Regarde, ce charbon a touché tes lèvres, ta faute est effacée, ton péché est pardonné.”
8 And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send?” and, “Who will go for us?” And I said: “Here I am. Send me.”	8 Alors j’entendis la voix du Seigneur: “Qui enverrai-je, disait-il, qui ira pour nous?” Je répondis: “Me voici, envoie-moi!”
9 And he said: “Go forth! And you shall say to this people: ‘When you listen, you will hear and not understand. And when you see a vision, you will not comprehend.’	9 Alors le Seigneur me dit: “Va! Tu diras à ce peuple: Écoutez, écoutez donc sans comprendre! Regardez, regardez toujours sans rien voir!
10 Blind the heart of this people. Make their ears heavy and close their eyes, lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and then I would heal them.”	10 Tu vas endurcir le cœur de ce peuple, boucher ses oreilles et obscurcir ses yeux; que surtout ses yeux ne voient pas, que ses oreilles n’entendent pas… sinon son cœur comprendrait, il se convertirait et serait guéri.”
11 And I said, “For how long, O Lord?” And he said, “Until the cities are desolate, without an inhabitant, and the houses are without a man, and the land will be left behind, deserted.”	11 Je répondis: “Jusqu’à quand Seigneur?” Le Seigneur me dit: “Jusqu’à ce que les villes soient détruites, inhabitées, les maisons sans personne, les champs dévastés et ravagés,
12 For the Lord will take the men far away, and she who will have been left behind will be multiplied in the midst of the earth.	12 jusqu’à ce que Yahvé en ait chassé les hommes et que la terre reste à l’abandon.
13 But still, there will be a tithing within her, and she will be converted, and she will be put on display, like a terebinth tree and like an oak which extends its branches. And what will remain standing within her will be a holy offspring.	13 S’il en restait encore un dixième, il serait brûlé à son tour comme la souche du térébinthe et du chêne lorsqu’ils sont abattus. De la souche, pourtant, sortira une race sainte.”
