| In the year that King Uzzi'ah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple. |
בִּשְׁנַת־מֹות הַמֶּלֶךְ עֻזִּיָּהוּ וָאֶרְאֶה אֶת־אֲדֹנָי יֹשֵׁב עַל־כִּסֵּא רָם וְנִשָּׂא וְשׁוּלָיו מְלֵאִים אֶת־הַהֵיכָל׃ | The call of ISAIAH. Is.6.1-13 |
| Above him stood the seraphim; each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. |
שְׂרָפִים עֹמְדִים מִמַּעַל לֹו שֵׁשׁ כְּנָפַיִם שֵׁשׁ כְּנָפַיִם לְאֶחָד בִּשְׁתַּיִם יְכַסֶּה פָנָיו וּבִשְׁתַּיִם יְכַסֶּה רַגְלָיו וּבִשְׁתַּיִם יְעֹוףֵף׃ | |
| And one called to another and said: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts;
the whole earth is full of his glory." |
וְקָרָא זֶה אֶל־זֶה וְאָמַר קָדֹושׁ קָדֹושׁ קָדֹושׁ יְהוָה צְבָאֹות מְלֹא כָל־הָאָרֶץ כְּבֹודֹו׃ | |
| And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. |
וַיָּנֻעוּ אַמֹּות הַסִּפִּים מִקֹּול הַקֹּורֵא וְהַבַּיִת יִמָּלֵא עָשָׁן׃ | |
| And I said: "Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King,
the LORD of hosts!" |
וָאֹמַר אֹוי־לִי כִי־נִדְמֵיתִי כִּי אִישׁ טְמֵא־שְׂפָתַיִם אָנֹכִי
וּבְתֹוךְ עַם־טְמֵא שְׂפָתַיִם אָנֹכִי יֹושֵׁב
כִּי אֶת־הַמֶּלֶךְ יְהוָה צְבָאֹות רָאוּ עֵינָי׃ | |
| Then flew one of the seraphim to me, having in his hand a burning coal which he had taken with tongs from the altar. |
וַיָּעָף אֵלַי אֶחָד מִן־הַשְּׂרָפִים וּבְיָדֹו רִצְפָּה בְּמֶלְקַחַיִם לָקַח מֵעַל הַמִּזְבֵּחַ׃ | |
| And he touched my mouth, and said: "Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin forgiven." |
וַיַּגַּע עַל־פִּי וַיֹּאמֶר הִנֵּה נָגַע זֶה עַל־שְׂפָתֶיךָ וְסָר עֲוֹנֶךָ וְחַטָּאתְךָ תְּכֻפָּר׃ | |
| And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" Then I said, "Here am I! Send me." |
וָאֶשְׁמַע אֶת־קֹול אֲדֹנָי אֹמֵר אֶת־מִי אֶשְׁלַח וּמִי יֵלֶךְ־לָנוּ וָאֹמַר הִנְנִי שְׁלָחֵנִי׃ | |
| And he said, "Go, and say to this people: 'Hear and hear, but do not understand;
see and see, but do not perceive.'
|
וַיֹּאמֶר לֵךְ וְאָמַרְתָּ לָעָם הַזֶּה שִׁמְעוּ שָׁמֹועַ וְאַל־תָּבִינוּ וּרְאוּ רָאֹו וְאַל־תֵּדָעוּ׃ | |
| Make the heart of this people fat,
and their ears heavy,
and shut their eyes;
lest they see with their eyes,
and hear with their ears,
and understand with their hearts,
and turn and be healed." |
הַשְׁמֵן לֵב־הָעָם הַזֶּה וְאָזְנָיו הַכְבֵּד וְעֵינָיו הָשַׁע
פֶּן־יִרְאֶה בְעֵינָיו וּבְאָזְנָיו יִשְׁמָע וּלְבָבֹו יָבִין וָשָׁב וְרָפָא לֹו׃ | |
| Then I said, "How long, O Lord?"
And he said: "Until cities lie waste without inhabitant,
and houses without men,
and the land is utterly desolate,
|
וָאֹמַר עַד־מָתַי אֲדֹנָי וַיֹּאמֶר עַד אֲשֶׁר אִם־שָׁאוּ עָרִים מֵאֵין יֹושֵׁב
וּבָתִּים מֵאֵין אָדָם וְהָאֲדָמָה תִּשָּׁאֶה שְׁמָמָה׃ | |
| and the LORD removes men far away,
and the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land.
|
וְרִחַק יְהוָה אֶת־הָאָדָם וְרַבָּה הָעֲזוּבָה בְּקֶרֶב הָאָרֶץ׃ | |
| And though a tenth remain in it,
it will be burned again,
like a terebinth or an oak,
whose stump remains standing when it is felled."
The holy seed is its stump.
|
וְעֹוד בָּהּ עֲשִׂרִיָּה וְשָׁבָה וְהָיְתָה לְבָעֵר כָּאֵלָה וְכָאַלֹּון
אֲשֶׁר בְּשַׁלֶּכֶת מַצֶּבֶת בָּם זֶרַע קֹדֶשׁ מַצַּבְתָּהּ׃ ף | |
