Isaiah’s Call and Mission

6 In the year that King Uzziah(A) died, I saw the Lord(B) seated on a high and lofty(C) throne,(D) and the hem of his robe filled the temple. 2 Seraphim[a] were standing above him; they each had six wings:(E) with two they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew.(F) 3 And one called to another:

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Armies;
his glory(G) fills the whole earth.(H)

4 The foundations of the doorways shook(I) at the sound of their voices, and the temple was filled with smoke.

5 Then I said:

Woe is me(J) for I am ruined[b]
because I am a man of unclean lips
and live among a people of unclean lips,(K)
and because my eyes have seen the King,
the Lord of Armies.

6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, and in his hand was a glowing coal that he had taken from the altar(L) with tongs. 7 He touched my mouth(M) with it and said:

Now that this has touched your lips,
your iniquity is removed
and your sin is atoned for.(N)

8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord asking:

Who will I send?
Who will go for us?

I said:

Here I am. Send me.

9 And he replied:

Go! Say to these people:
Keep listening, but do not understand;(O)
keep looking, but do not perceive.
10 Make the minds[c] of these people dull;
deafen their ears and blind their eyes;
otherwise they might see with their eyes
and hear with their ears,
understand with their minds,
turn back, and be healed.(P)

11 Then I said, “Until when, Lord?” (Q) And he replied:

Until cities lie in ruins without inhabitants,(R)
houses are without people,
the land is ruined and desolate,
12 and the Lord drives the people far away,
leaving great emptiness in the land.
13 Though a tenth will remain in the land,
it will be burned again.
Like the terebinth or the oak
that leaves a stump when felled,
the holy seed(S) is the stump.(T)

Profetens kallelse

6 (A) Året då kung Ussia dog[a] såg jag Herren sitta på en hög och upphöjd tron, och släpet på hans mantel uppfyllde templet. 2 (B) Serafer[b] stod ovanför honom, var och en hade sex vingar: Med två täckte de sina ansikten, med två täckte de sina fötter och med två flög de. 3 (C) Och den ene ropade till den andre:

"Helig, helig, helig
        är Herren Sebaot!
    Hela jorden är full
        av hans härlighet."

4 (D) Rösten från den som ropade fick dörrposterna och trösklarna att skaka, och huset fylldes av rök[c]. 5 (E) Då sade jag:

"Ve mig, jag förgås!
    För jag är en man med orena läppar
        och jag bor bland ett folk
            med orena läppar,
    och mina ögon har sett Kungen,
        Herren Sebaot."

6 Då flög en av seraferna fram till mig. I hans hand var ett glödande kol som han hade tagit från altaret med en tång. 7 (F) Med det rörde han vid min mun och sade:

"När detta har rört vid dina läppar
    är din skuld borttagen
        och din synd försonad."

8 Och jag hörde Herrens röst. Han sade: "Vem ska jag sända? Och vem vill vara vår budbärare?" Då sade jag: "Här är jag, sänd mig!" 9 (G) Han sade: "Gå och säg till detta folk:

Ni ska höra och höra
        men inte förstå,
    och ni ska se och se
        men inte fatta.[d]
10 (H) Förhärda detta folks hjärta,
    gör deras öron döva
        och deras ögon blinda,
    så att de inte ser med sina ögon
        eller hör med sina öron
            eller förstår med sitt hjärta
    och vänder om och blir botade."

11 (I) Då frågade jag: "Hur länge, Herre?" Han svarade:

"Tills städerna blir öde
        och ingen bor i dem,
    husen blir utan folk
        och landet ligger öde
            och övergivet.
12 (J) Herren ska sända folket långt bort,
    och ödsligheten ska bli stor i landet.
13 När bara en tiondel är kvar i det,
        ska även den ödeläggas.
    Men liksom en terebint eller en ek
        lämnar kvar en stubbe
            när den fälls,
    ska den stubben vara
        en helig säd."

Isaiah’s Commission

6 In the year that King Uzziah(A) died,(B) I saw the Lord,(C) high and exalted,(D) seated on a throne;(E) and the train of his robe(F) filled the temple. 2 Above him were seraphim,(G) each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet,(H) and with two they were flying. 3 And they were calling to one another:

“Holy, holy(I), holy is the Lord Almighty;(J)
    the whole earth(K) is full of his glory.”(L)

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

5 “Woe(N) to me!” I cried. “I am ruined!(O) For I am a man of unclean lips,(P) and I live among a people of unclean lips,(Q) and my eyes have seen(R) the King,(S) the Lord Almighty.”(T)

6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal(U) in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips;(V) your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.(W)”

8 Then I heard the voice(X) of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send?(Y) And who will go for us?(Z)”

And I said, “Here am I.(AA) Send me!”

9 He said, “Go(AB) and tell this people:

“‘Be ever hearing, but never understanding;
    be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’(AC)
10 Make the heart of this people calloused;(AD)
    make their ears dull
    and close their eyes.[a](AE)
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
    hear with their ears,(AF)
    understand with their hearts,
and turn and be healed.”(AG)

11 Then I said, “For how long, Lord?”(AH)

And he answered:

“Until the cities lie ruined(AI)
    and without inhabitant,
until the houses are left deserted(AJ)
    and the fields ruined and ravaged,(AK)
12 until the Lord has sent everyone far away(AL)
    and the land is utterly forsaken.(AM)
13 And though a tenth remains(AN) in the land,
    it will again be laid waste.(AO)
But as the terebinth and oak
    leave stumps(AP) when they are cut down,
    so the holy(AQ) seed will be the stump in the land.”(AR)
