Livre d'Isaïe 6

JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 L'année de la mort du roi Ozias, je vis le Seigneur assis sur un trône grandiose et surélevé. Sa traîneemplissait le sanctuaire.	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 Des séraphins se tenaient au-dessus de lui, ayant chacun six ailes, deux pour se couvrir la face, deuxpour se couvrir les pieds, deux pour voler.	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 Ils se criaient l'un à l'autre ces paroles: "Saint, saint, saint est Yahvé Sabaot, sa gloire emplit toute laterre."	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 Les montants des portes vibrèrent au bruit de ces cris et le Temple était plein de fumée.	4 And the lintels of the doors were moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 Alors je dis: "Malheur à moi, je suis perdu! car je suis un homme aux lèvres impures, j'habite au seind'un peuple aux lèvres impures, et mes yeux ont vu le Roi, Yahvé Sabaot."	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 L'un des séraphins vola vers moi, tenant dans sa main une braise qu'il avait prise avec des pinces surl'autel.	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 Il m'en toucha la bouche et dit: "Voici, ceci a touché tes lèvres, ta faute est effacée, ton péché estpardonné."	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 Alors j'entendis la voix du Seigneur qui disait: "Qui enverrai-je? Qui ira pour nous?" Et je dis: "Mevoici, envoie-moi."	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 Il me dit: "Va, et tu diras à ce peuple: Ecoutez, écoutez, et ne comprenez pas; regardez, regardez, et nediscernez pas.	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 Appesantis le coeur de ce peuple, rends-le dur d'oreille, englue-lui les yeux, de peur que ses yeux nevoient, que ses oreilles n'entendent, que son coeur ne comprenne, qu'il ne se convertisse et ne soit guéri."	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 Et je dis: "Jusques à quand, Seigneur?" Il me répondit: "Jusqu'à ce que les villes soient détruites etdépeuplées, les maisons inhabitées; que le sol soit dévasté, désolé;	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 que Yahvé en chasse les gens, et qu'une grande détresse règne au milieu du pays.	12 And the Lord shall remove men far away, and she shall be multiplied that was left in the midst of the earth.
13 Et s'il en reste un dixième, de nouveau il sera dépouillé, comme le térébinthe et comme le chêne quiune fois émondés n'ont plus qu'un tronc; leur tronc est une semence sainte."	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.
