Isaiah 6

1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted; and the train of His robe filled the temple.

1 当乌西雅王崩的那年，我见主坐在高高的宝座上。他的衣裳垂下，遮满圣殿。

2 Above Him stood seraphim, each having six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying.

2 其上有撒拉弗侍立，各有六个翅膀：用两个翅膀遮脸，两个翅膀遮脚，两个翅膀飞翔；

3 And they were calling out to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of Hosts; all the earth is full of His glory.”

3 彼此呼喊说： 圣哉！圣哉！圣哉！万军之耶和华； 他的荣光充满全地！

4 At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook, and the temple was filled with smoke.

4 因呼喊者的声音，门槛的根基震动，殿充满了烟云。

5 Then I said: “Woe is me, for I am ruined, because I am a man of unclean lips dwelling among a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of Hosts.”

5 那时我说：「祸哉！我灭亡了！因为我是嘴唇不洁的人，又住在嘴唇不洁的民中，又因我眼见大君王—万军之耶和华。」

6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, and in his hand was a glowing coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar.

6 有一撒拉弗飞到我跟前，手里拿着红炭，是用火剪从坛上取下来的，

7 And with it he touched my mouth and said: “Now that this has touched your lips, your iniquity is removed and your sin is atoned for.”

7 将炭沾我的口，说：「看哪，这炭沾了你的嘴，你的罪孽便除掉，你的罪恶就赦免了。」

8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying: “Whom shall I send? Who will go for Us?” And I said: “Here am I. Send me!”

8 我又听见主的声音说：「我可以差遣谁呢？谁肯为我们去呢？」我说：「我在这里，请差遣我！」

9 And He replied: “Go and tell this people, ‘Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’

9 他说：「你去告诉这百姓说： 你们听是要听见，却不明白； 看是要看见，却不晓得。

10 Make the hearts of this people calloused; deafen their ears and close their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed.”

10 要使这百姓心蒙脂油， 耳朵发沉， 眼睛昏迷； 恐怕眼睛看见， 耳朵听见， 心里明白， 回转过来，便得医治。」

11 Then I asked: “How long, O Lord?” And He replied: “Until the cities lie ruined and without inhabitant, until the houses are left unoccupied and the land is desolate and ravaged,

11 我就说：「主啊，这到几时为止呢？」他说： 直到城邑荒凉，无人居住， 房屋空闲无人，地土极其荒凉。

12 until the LORD has driven men far away and the land is utterly forsaken.

12 并且耶和华将人迁到远方， 在这境内撇下的地土很多。

13 And though a tenth remains in the land, it will be burned again. As the terebinth and oak leave stumps when felled, so the holy seed will be a stump in the land.”

13 境内剩下的人若还有十分之一， 也必被吞灭， 像栗树、橡树虽被砍伐， 树ⶍ子却仍存留。 这圣洁的种类在国中也是如此。
