以赛亚书 6
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
上帝呼召以赛亚
6 乌西雅王驾崩那年,我看见主坐在高高的宝座上,衣袍下垂,覆盖了圣殿。 2 在祂上方侍立着撒拉弗天使,他们各有三对翅膀:一对遮脸,一对遮脚,一对飞翔。 3 他们彼此呼喊:
“圣哉,圣哉,圣哉,
万军之耶和华!
祂的荣耀充满大地。”
4 他们的声音震动圣殿的根基,圣殿里烟云弥漫。 5 那时我说:“我有祸了!我要灭亡了!因为我口出不洁之言,又住在口出不洁之言的人群中,并且亲眼看见了大君王——万军之耶和华。” 6 有个撒拉弗天使用火钳从祭坛上取了一块燃烧的炭,飞到我面前, 7 用炭碰我的嘴唇,说:“看啊,这炭碰了你的嘴唇,你的过犯已被除掉,你的罪恶已被赦免。” 8 然后,我听见主说:“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 祂说:“你去告诉以色列人,
“‘你们听了又听,却不明白;
看了又看,却不领悟。’
10 要让这些人心灵麻木,
耳朵发背,
眼睛昏花,
免得他们眼睛看见,
耳朵听见,
心里明白,
回心转意,就得到医治。”
11 我说:“主啊,这要到什么时候呢?”祂说:
“直到城邑荒凉,无人居住,房屋空置,
土地荒废的时候。
12 那时,我必把他们赶到远方,
他们的土地必荒芜。
13 即使境内只剩下十分之一的人,
也必被消灭。
然而,就像砍掉松树和橡树后必留下树墩,
这地方必有圣洁的苗裔存留下来。”
Isaiah 6
New Living Translation
Isaiah’s Cleansing and Call
6 It was in the year King Uzziah died[a] that I saw the Lord. He was sitting on a lofty throne, and the train of his robe filled the Temple. 2 Attending him were mighty seraphim, each having six wings. With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew. 3 They were calling out to each other,
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Heaven’s Armies!
The whole earth is filled with his glory!”
4 Their voices shook the Temple to its foundations, and the entire building was filled with smoke.
5 Then I said, “It’s all over! I am doomed, for I am a sinful man. I have filthy lips, and I live among a people with filthy lips. Yet I have seen the King, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.”
6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a burning coal he had taken from the altar with a pair of tongs. 7 He touched my lips with it and said, “See, this coal has touched your lips. Now your guilt is removed, and your sins are forgiven.”
8 Then I heard the Lord asking, “Whom should I send as a messenger to this people? Who will go for us?”
I said, “Here I am. Send me.”
9 And he said, “Yes, go, and say to this people,
‘Listen carefully, but do not understand.
Watch closely, but learn nothing.’
10 Harden the hearts of these people.
Plug their ears and shut their eyes.
That way, they will not see with their eyes,
nor hear with their ears,
nor understand with their hearts
and turn to me for healing.”[b]
11 Then I said, “Lord, how long will this go on?”
And he replied,
“Until their towns are empty,
their houses are deserted,
and the whole country is a wasteland;
12 until the Lord has sent everyone away,
and the entire land of Israel lies deserted.
13 If even a tenth—a remnant—survive,
it will be invaded again and burned.
But as a terebinth or oak tree leaves a stump when it is cut down,
so Israel’s stump will be a holy seed.”
