Isaiah 6


font
CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAINVULGATA
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 In anno quo mortuus est rex Ozias, vidi Dominum sedentem super solium excelsum et elevatum ; et ea quæ sub ipso erant replebant templum.
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 Seraphim stabant super illud : sex alæ uni, et sex alæ alteri ; duabus velabant faciem ejus, et duabus velabant pedes ejus, et duabus volabant.
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 Et clamabant alter ad alterum, et dicebant : Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus Dominus, Deus exercituum ;
plena est omnis terra gloria ejus.
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 Et commota sunt superliminaria cardinum a voce clamantis, et domus repleta est fumo.
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 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.
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 Et volavit ad me unus de seraphim, et in manu ejus calculus, quem forcipe tulerat de altari,
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 et tetigit os meum, et dixit : Ecce tetigit hoc labia tua,
et auferetur iniquitas tua, et peccatum tuum mundabitur.
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 Et audivi vocem Domini dicentis : Quem mittam ?
et quis ibit nobis ?
Et dixi : Ecce ego, mitte me.
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 Et dixit : Vade, et dices populo huic :
Audite audientes, et nolite intelligere ;
et videte visionem, et nolite cognoscere.
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 Excæca cor populi hujus,
et aures ejus aggrava,
et oculos ejus claude :
ne forte videat oculis suis,
et auribus suis audiat,
et corde suo intelligat,
et convertatur, et sanem eum.
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 Et dixi : Usquequo, Domine ? Et dixit : Donec desolentur civitates absque habitatore,
et domus sine homine,
et terra relinquetur deserta.
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 Et longe faciet Dominus homines,
et multiplicabitur quæ derelicta fuerat in medio terræ.
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 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.
