Isaiah 6

New King James Version

Isaiah Called to Be a Prophet^(A)

6 In the year that ^(B)King Uzziah died, I ^(C)saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. ²Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, ^(D)with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. ³And one cried to another and said:

^(E)“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
^(F)The whole earth is full of His glory!”

⁴And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke.

⁵So I said:

“Woe is me, for I am ^[a]undone!
Because I am a man of ^(G)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.”

⁶Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from ^(H)the altar. ⁷And he ^(I)touched my mouth with it, and said:

“Behold, this has touched your lips;
Your iniquity is taken away,
And your sin ^[b]purged.”

⁸Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying:

“Whom shall I send,
And who will go for ^(J)Us?”

Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.”

⁹And He said, “Go, and ^(K)tell this people:

‘Keep on hearing, but do not understand;
Keep on seeing, but do not perceive.’

¹⁰“Make ^(L)the heart of this people dull,
And their ears heavy,
And shut their eyes;
^(M)Lest they see with their eyes,
And hear with their ears,
And understand with their heart,
And return and be healed.”

¹¹Then I said, “Lord, how long?”

And He answered:

^(N)“Until the cities are laid waste and without inhabitant,
The houses are without a man,
The land is utterly desolate,
¹²^(O)The Lord has removed men far away,
And the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land.
¹³But yet a tenth will be in it,
And will return and be for consuming,
As a terebinth tree or as an oak,
Whose stump remains when it is cut down.
So ^(P)the holy seed shall be its stump.”

यशया 6

Marathi Bible: Easy-to-Read Version

देव यशयाला संदेष्टा होण्यास बोलावतो

6 उज्जीया राजाच्या मृत्यूच्या वर्षीच मी माझ्या प्रभूला पाहिले. तो एका उच्च व विलक्षण सुंदर सिंहासनावर बसला होता. त्याच्या पायघोळ पोशाखाने सर्व मंदिर भरून गेले होते. ²देवदूत परमेश्वराभोवती उभे होते. प्रत्येक देवदूताला सहा पंख होते. त्यातील दोन पंखांनी ते चेहरा झाकीत. दोनने पाय झाकीत व उरलेल्या दोन पंखांनी उडत. ³ते देवदूत एकमेकांशी बोलत होते. ते म्हणत होते, “पवित्र, पवित्र, पवित्र सर्वशक्तिमान परमेश्वर परमपवित्र आहे. त्याची प्रभा सगळ्या पृथ्वीला व्यापून राहिली आहे.” देवदूतांचे आवाज फार मोठे होते. ⁴त्यांच्या आवाजाने मंदिराच्या दाराची चौकट हादरली नंतर मंदिर धुराने भरून गेले.

⁵मी फारच घाबरलो. मी म्हणालो, “हाय रे देवा! आता माझा नाश होणार देवाशी संवाद करण्याइतका मी पवित्र किंवा शुध्द नाही आणि मी ज्या माणसांत राहतो, तीही देवाशी प्रत्यक्ष बोलण्याइतकी शुध्द् नाहीत. ^[a] तरीसुध्दा् राजाधिराज, सर्वशक्तिमान परमेश्वराला मी पाहिले आहे.”

⁶तेथे वेदीवर अग्नी प्रज्वलित केलेला होता एका सराफ देवदूताने चिमट्याने त्यातील निखारा उचलला. सराफ देवदूत तो निखारा घेऊन माझ्याकडे उडत आला. ⁷त्या निखांऱ्याचा स्पर्श त्याने माझ्या तोंडाला केला नंतर तो देवदूत म्हणाला, “हे बघ! ह्या निखाऱ्याच्या स्पर्शाने तुझी सर्व दुष्कृत्ये नाहिशी झाली आहेत. तुझी पापे आता पुसली गेली आहेत.”

⁸नंतर मला माझ्या परमेश्वराचा आवाज ऐकू आला. परमेश्वर म्हणाला, “मी कोणाला पाठवू! आमच्यासाठी कोण जाईल?”

मग मी म्हणालो, “हा मी तयार आहे, मला पाठव.”

⁹नंतर परमेश्वर म्हणाला, “जा आणि ह्या लोकांना सांग: ‘काळजीपूर्वक ऐका पण समजून घेऊ नका. काळजीपूर्वक पाहा पण शिकू नका.’ ¹⁰लोकांना गोंधळात टाक, लोक जे ऐकतील आणि पाहतील ते त्यांना समजणार नाही असे कर. तू असे केले नाहीस तर कदाचित् लोक जे कानांनी ऐकतील आणि डोळ्यांनी पाहतील, तेच खरे समजतील. असे जर झाले तर ते मला शरण येतील आणि बरे होतील.”

¹¹नंतर मी विचारले, “प्रभू, मी हे असे किती दिवस करू?”

परमेश्वर उत्तरला, “लोक पळून जाऊन शहरे निर्जन होईपर्यंत, आता भरलेली घरे निर्मनुष्य होईपर्यंत, किंबहुना ही सर्व भूमी उजाड व वैराण होईपर्यंत तू असे कर.”

¹²परमेश्वर लोकांना दूर पळवून लावील ह्या देशात खूप मोठी ओसाड जमीन तयार होईल. ¹³पण लोकसंख्येचा दहावा हिस्सा ह्या भूमीवर राहतील. त्यांचा नाश होणार होता तरीही ते परमेश्वराकडे परत येतील. हे लोक एलाच्या झाडाप्रमाणे असतील. एलाचे झाड कापले तरी बुडखा शिल्लक राहतोच. हे राहिलेले लोक त्या बुडख्याप्रमाणे असतील. हे लोक खास बीज म्हणजेच देवाची लाडकी लेकरे असतील.

Isaiah 6

Wycliffe Bible

6 In the year in which the king Uzziah was dead, I saw the Lord sitting on an high seat, and raised [up]; and the house (of the Lord) was full of his majesty, and those things that were under him filled the temple. (In the year when King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, high and exalted; and the House of the Lord was full of his majesty, and his robe filled the Temple.)

²Seraphim stood on it, six wings were to one, and six wings to the other; with two wings they covered the face of him, and with two wings they covered the feet of him, and with two wings they flew. (Seraphim stood all around him, and each had six wings; with two wings they covered their face, and with two wings they covered their feet, and with two wings they flew.)

³And they cried the one to the tother, and said, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God of hosts; all [the] earth is full of his glory.

⁴And the lintels above of the hinges were moved together of the voice of the crier, and the house (of the Lord) was filled with smoke. (And the lintels above the hinges were shaken by the voices of the criers, and the Temple was filled with smoke.)

⁵And I said, Woe to me, for I was still; for I am a man defouled in lips, and I dwell in the midst of the people having defouled lips, and I saw with mine eyes the King, (the) Lord of hosts. (And I said, Woe to me, for I am lost; for I am a man who hath defiled lips, and I live in the midst of a people who have defiled lips, and yet I saw with my own eyes the King, the Lord of hosts.)

⁶And one of [the] seraphim flew to me, and a burning coal was in his hand, which coal he had taken with a (pair of) tong(s) from the altar.

⁷And he touched my mouth, and said, Lo! I have touched thy lips with this coal, and thy wickedness shall be done away, and thy sin shall be cleansed.

⁸And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who shall go to you? And I said, Lo! I; send thou me.

⁹And he said, Go thou, and thou shalt say to this people, Ye hearing hear, and ye do not understand; and see ye the prophesy, and do not ye know. (And he said, Go thou, and thou shalt say to this people, Hearing ye may hear, but ye shall not understand; and ye may see the prophesy, but ye shall not know, or not understand, its meaning.)

¹⁰Make thou blind the heart of this people, and aggrieve thou the ears thereof, and close thou the eyes thereof; lest peradventure it see with his eyes, and hear with his ears, and understand with his heart, and it be converted, and I make it whole. (Make thou blind the hearts of these people, and make thou deaf their ears, and close thou their eyes; lest peradventure they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and they turn, or be converted, and I make them whole/and they be healed.)

¹¹And I said, Lord, how long? And he said, Till [the] cities be made desolate, without dweller, and houses without man. And the land shall be left desert, (And I said, Lord, how long? And he said, Until the cities be made desolate, yea, without any inhabitants, and the houses be left empty, yea, without anyone. And the land shall be left deserted,)

¹²and the Lord shall make men afar (and the Lord shall send the people far away). And that that was forsaken in the middle of [the] earth, shall be multiplied,

¹³and yet the tithing, either tenth part, shall be therein; and it shall be converted, and it shall be into showing, as a terebinth is, and as an oak, that spreadeth abroad his boughs; that shall be holy seed, that shall stand therein. (and even if but a tenth part of these people shall remain there, they shall all be destroyed, like a terebinth, or like an oak, that spreadeth abroad its boughs, and then is cut down; such shall be the fate of the holy generation, who shall be there.)

Isaiah 6

King James Version

6 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.

²Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.

³And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.

⁴And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.

⁵Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.

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

⁷And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.

⁸Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.

⁹And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.

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

¹¹Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,

¹²And the Lord have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.

¹³But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.
