Isaiah 6
New International Version

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)

Isaiah 6
English Standard Version

Isaiah's Vision of the Lord

6 In the year that (A)King Uzziah died I (B)saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train[a] of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him stood the seraphim. Each had (C)six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one called to another and said:

(D)“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
(E)the whole earth is full of his glory!”[b]

4 And (F)the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and (G)the house was filled with smoke. 5 And I said: “Woe is me! (H)For I am lost; (I)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 (J)King, the Lord of hosts!”

6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 And he (K)touched my mouth and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for.”

Isaiah's Commission from the Lord

8 And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for (L)us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.” 9 And he said, “Go, and say to this people:

(M)“‘Keep on hearing,[c] but do not understand;
keep on seeing,[d] but do not perceive.’
10 (N)Make the heart of this people (O)dull,[e]
    and their ears heavy,
    and blind their eyes;
(P)lest they see with their eyes,
    and hear with their ears,
and understand with their hearts,
    and turn and be healed.”
11 Then I said, (Q)“How long, O Lord?”
And he said:
“Until (R)cities lie waste
    without inhabitant,
and houses without people,
    and the land is a desolate waste,
12 and the Lord removes people far away,
    and the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land.
13 (S)And though a tenth remain in it,
    it will be burned[f] again,
like a terebinth or an oak,
    whose stump (T)remains
    when it is felled.”
(U)The holy seed[g] is its stump.

Isaías 6
Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)

La misión de Isaías

6 El año de la muerte del rey Uzías, vi al Señor excelso y sublime, sentado en un trono; las orlas de su manto llenaban el templo. 2 Por encima de él había serafines, cada uno de los cuales tenía seis alas: con dos de ellas se cubrían el rostro, con dos se cubrían los pies, y con dos volaban. 3 Y se decían el uno al otro:

«Santo, santo, santo es el Señor Todopoderoso;
    toda la tierra está llena de su gloria».

4 Al sonido de sus voces, se estremecieron los umbrales de las puertas y el templo se llenó de humo. 5 Entonces grité: «¡Ay de mí, que estoy perdido! Soy un hombre de labios impuros y vivo en medio de un pueblo de labios blasfemos, ¡y no obstante mis ojos han visto al Rey, al Señor Todopoderoso!»

6 En ese momento voló hacia mí uno de los serafines. Traía en la mano una brasa que, con unas tenazas, había tomado del altar. 7 Con ella me tocó los labios y me dijo:

«Mira, esto ha tocado tus labios;
    tu maldad ha sido borrada,
    y tu pecado, perdonado».

8 Entonces oí la voz del Señor que decía:

―¿A quién enviaré? ¿Quién irá por nosotros?

Y respondí:

―Aquí estoy. ¡Envíame a mí!

9 Él dijo:

―Ve y dile a este pueblo:

»“Oíd bien, pero no entendáis;
    mirad bien, pero no percibáis”.
10 Haz insensible el corazón de este pueblo;
    embota sus oídos
    y cierra sus ojos,
no sea que vea con sus ojos,
    oiga con sus oídos,
    y entienda con su corazón,
y se convierta
    y sea sanado».

11 Entonces exclamé:

―¿Hasta cuándo, Señor?

Y él respondió:

«Hasta que las ciudades queden destruidas
    y sin habitante alguno;
hasta que las casas queden deshabitadas,
    y los campos, asolados y en ruinas;
12 hasta que el Señor haya enviado lejos a todo el pueblo,
    y el país quede en total abandono.
13 Y, si aún queda en la tierra una décima parte,
    esta volverá a ser devastada.
Pero, así como al talar la encina y el roble
    queda parte del tronco,
    esa parte es la simiente santa».
