Isaiæ 6

VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 In anno quo mortuus est rex Ozias, vidi Dominum sedentem super solium excelsum et elevatum ; et ea quæ sub ipso erant replebant templum.	1 In the year King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a high and lofty throne, with the train of his garment filling the temple.
2 Seraphim stabant super illud : sex alæ uni, et sex alæ alteri ; duabus velabant faciem ejus, et duabus velabant pedes ejus, et duabus volabant.	2 Seraphim were stationed above; each of them had six wings: with two they veiled their faces, with two they veiled their feet, and with two they hovered aloft.
3 Et clamabant alter ad alterum, et dicebant : Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus Dominus, Deus exercituum ; plena est omnis terra gloria ejus.	3 "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts!" they cried one to the other. "All the earth is filled with his glory!"
4 Et commota sunt superliminaria cardinum a voce clamantis, et domus repleta est fumo.	4 At the sound of that cry, the frame of the door shook and the house was filled with smoke.
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.	5 Then I said, "Woe is me, I am doomed! For I am a man of unclean lips, living among a people of unclean lips; yet my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!"
6 Et volavit ad me unus de seraphim, et in manu ejus calculus, quem forcipe tulerat de altari,	6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, holding an ember which he had taken with tongs from the altar.
7 et tetigit os meum, et dixit : Ecce tetigit hoc labia tua, et auferetur iniquitas tua, et peccatum tuum mundabitur.	7 He touched my mouth with it. "See," he said, "now that this has touched your lips, your wickedness is removed, your sin purged."
8 Et audivi vocem Domini dicentis : Quem mittam ? et quis ibit nobis ? Et dixi : Ecce ego, mitte me.	8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? Who will go for us?" "Here I am," I said; "send me!"
9 Et dixit : Vade, et dices populo huic : Audite audientes, et nolite intelligere ; et videte visionem, et nolite cognoscere.	9 And he replied: Go and say to this people: Listen carefully, but you shall not understand! Look intently, but you shall know nothing!
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.	10 You are to make the heart of this people sluggish, to dull their ears and close their eyes; Else their eyes will see, their ears hear, their heart understand, and they will turn and be healed.
11 Et dixi : Usquequo, Domine ? Et dixit : Donec desolentur civitates absque habitatore, et domus sine homine, et terra relinquetur deserta.	11 "How long, O Lord?" I asked. And he replied: Until the cities are desolate, without inhabitants, Houses, without a man, and the earth is a desolate waste.
12 Et longe faciet Dominus homines, et multiplicabitur quæ derelicta fuerat in medio terræ.	12 Until the LORD removes men far away, and the land is abandoned more and more.
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.	13 If there be still a tenth part in it, then this in turn shall be laid waste; As with a terebinth or an oak whose trunk remains when its leaves have fallen. (Holy offspring is the trunk.)
