1 في سنة وفاة عزيا الملك رأيت السيد جالسا على كرسي عال ومرتفع واذياله تملأ الهيكل. | 1 In the year that king Ozias died, I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne high and elevated: and his train filled the temple. |
2 السرافيم واقفون فوقه لكل واحد ستة اجنحة باثنين يغطي وجهه وباثنين يغطي رجليه وباثنين يطير | 2 Upon it stood the seraphims: the one had six wings, and the other had six wings: with two they covered his face, and with two they covered his feet, and with two they hew. |
3 وهذا نادى ذاك وقال قدوس قدوس قدوس رب الجنود مجده ملء كل الارض | 3 And they cried one to another, and said: Holy, holy, holy, the Lord God of hosts, all the earth is full of his glory. |
4 فاهتزت اساسات العتب من صوت الصارخ وامتلأ البيت دخانا | 4 And the lintels of the doors were moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. |
5 فقلت ويل لي اني هلكت لاني انسان نجس الشفتين وانا ساكن بين شعب نجس الشفتين لان عينيّ قد رأتا الملك رب الجنود. | 5 And I said: Woe is me, because I have held my peace; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people that hath unclean lips, and I have seen with my eyes the King the Lord of hosts. |
6 فطار اليّ واحد من السرافيم وبيده جمرة قد اخذها بملقط من على المذبح | 6 And one of the seraphims flew to me, and in his hand was a live coal, which he had taken with the tongs off the altar. |
7 ومس بها فمي وقال ان هذه قد مست شفتيك فانتزع اثمك وكفر عن خطيتك | 7 And he touched my mouth, and said: Behold this hath touched thy lips, and thy iniquities shall be taken away, and thy sin shall be cleansed. |
8 ثم سمعت صوت السيد قائلا من ارسل ومن يذهب من اجلنا. فقلت هانذا ارسلني. | 8 And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: Whom shall I send? and who shall go for us? And I said: Lo, here am I, send me. |
9 فقال اذهب وقل لهذا الشعب اسمعوا سمعا ولا تفهموا وابصروا ابصارا ولا تعرفوا. | 9 And he said: Go, and thou shalt say to this people: Hearing, hear, and understand not: and see the vision, and know it not. |
10 غلّظ قلب هذا الشعب وثقّل اذنيه واطمس عينيه لئلا يبصر بعينيه ويسمع باذنيه ويفهم بقلبه ويرجع فيشفى. | 10 Blind the heart of this people, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes: lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted and I heal them. |
11 فقلت الى متى ايها السيد. فقال الى ان تصير المدن خربة بلا ساكن والبيوت بلا انسان وتخرب الارض وتقفر | 11 And I said: How long, O Lord? And he said: Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land shall be left desolate. |
12 ويبعد الرب الانسان ويكثر الخراب في وسط الارض. | 12 And the Lord shall remove men far away, and she shall be multiplied that was left in the midst of the earth. |
13 وان بقي فيها عشر بعد فيعود ويصير للخراب ولكن كالبطمة والبلوطة التي وان قطعت فلها ساق يكون ساقه زرعا مقدسا | 13 And there shall be still a tithing therein, and she shall turn, and shall be made a show as a turpentine tree, and as an oak that spreadeth its branches: that which shall stand therein, shall be a holy seed. |
