Isaías 6— comparação

1No ano em que o rei Uzias morreu, eu vi o Senhor assentado sobre um trono alto e exaltado; e a orla do seu manto enchia o templo.

2Acima dele estavam os serafins. Cada um tinha seis asas. Com duas cobria o rosto. Com duas cobria os pés. Com duas voava.

3Um clamava ao outro, e dizia:

4Os fundamentos das soleiras tremeram à voz daquele que clamava, e a casa se encheu de fumaça.

5Então eu disse: “Ai de mim! Pois estou perdido, porque sou um homem de lábios impuros e moro no meio de um povo de lábios impuros, pois os meus olhos viram o Rei, o SENHOR dos Exércitos!”

6Então um dos serafins voou até mim, trazendo uma brasa viva na mão, que ele havia tirado do altar com uma tenaz.

7Ele tocou a minha boca com ela, e disse: “Eis que isto tocou os seus lábios; e a sua iniquidade foi tirada, e o seu pecado perdoado.”

8Eu ouvi a voz do Senhor, dizendo: “A quem enviarei, e quem irá por nós?”

9Ele disse: “Vá, e diga a este povo:

10Torne gordo o coração deste povo.

11Então eu disse: “Senhor, até quando?”

12e o SENHOR tenha levado os homens para longe,

13Se ainda restar a décima parte nela,

1In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple.

2Above him stood the seraphim. Each one had six wings. With two he covered his face. With two he covered his feet. With two he flew.

3One called to another, and said, “Holy, holy, holy, is Yahweh of Armies! The whole earth is full of his glory!”

4The foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.

5Then I said, “Woe is me! For I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips and I live among a people of unclean lips, for my eyes have seen the King, Yahweh of Armies!”

6Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar.

7He touched my mouth with it, and said, “Behold, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin forgiven.”

8I heard the Lord’s voice, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am. Send me!”

9He said, “Go, and tell this people, ‘You hear indeed, but don’t understand. You see indeed, but don’t perceive.’

10Make the heart of this people fat. Make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and turn again, and be healed.”

11Then I said, “Lord, how long?” He answered, “Until cities are waste without inhabitant, houses without man, the land becomes utterly waste,

12and Yahweh has removed men far away, and the forsaken places are many within the land.

13If there is a tenth left in it, that also will in turn be consumed, as a terebinth, and as an oak whose stump remains when they are cut down, so the holy seed is its stump.”
