Livre d'Isaïe 6

JERUSALEM	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
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 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.
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 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.
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 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!”
4 Les montants des portes vibrèrent au bruit de ces cris et le Temple était plein de fumée.	4 And the lintels above the hinges were shaken at the voice of the one crying out. 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 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!”
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 burning coal, which he had taken with tongs from 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 he said, “Behold, this has touched your lips, and so your iniquities will be taken away, and your sin will 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 will go for us?” And I said: “Here I am. 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 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.’
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. 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.”
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, “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.”
12 que Yahvé en chasse les gens, et qu'une grande détresse règne au milieu du pays.	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.
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 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.
