1Roku, ktorého zomrel kráľ Uziáš, videl som Pána sedieť na vysokom tróne a povznesenom, a podolok jeho rúcha naplňoval chrám.
1In the year that king Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple.
2Serafíni stáli nad ním. Každý mal šesť krýdel; dvoma zakrýval svoju tvár, dvoma zakrýval svoje nohy a dvoma lietal.
2Above him stood the seraphim. Each one had six wings. With two he covered his face. With two he covered his feet. With two he flew.
3A volali jeden druhému a hovorili: Svätý, svätý, svätý Hospodin Zástupov, celá zem je plná jeho slávy.
3One called to another, and said, “Holy, holy, holy, is Yahweh of Armies! The whole earth is full of his glory!”
4A pohly sa základy prahov od hlasu volajúceho, a dom sa naplnil dymom.
4The foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.
5Vtedy som povedal: Beda mne, lebo zahyniem, pretože som človek nečistých rtov a bývam prostred ľudu nečistých rtov; beda mne, lebo moje oči videly Kráľa Hospodina Zástupov!
5Then I said, “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 my eyes have seen the King, Yahweh of Armies!”
6Tu priletel ku mne jeden zo serafínov majúc v ruke žeravý uhoľ, ktorý vzal kliešťami s oltára.
6Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar.
7A dotknul sa mojich úst a riekol: Hľa, tento uhoľ sa dotknul tvojich rtov, a tak odišla tvoja neprávosť, a tvoj hriech je prikrytý.
7He touched my mouth with it, and said, “Behold, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin forgiven.”
8Potom som počul hlas Pánov, ktorý hovoril: Koho pošlem, a kto nám pojde? Vtedy som povedal: Hľa, tu som, pošli ma.
8I heard the Lord’s voice, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am. Send me!”
9A riekol: Iď a povieš tomuto ľudu: Počuť počujte, ale neporozumejte, i hľadieť hľaďte, ale nepoznajte!
9He said, “Go, and tell this people, ‘You hear indeed, but don’t understand; and you see indeed, but don’t perceive.’
10Učiň to, aby stučnelo srdce tohoto ľudu, a jeho uši aby oťažely, a jeho oči zaslep, aby nejako nevidel svojimi očima a svojimi ušima nepočul, a jeho srdce by porozumelo, a obrátiac sa bol by uzdravený!
10Make the heart of this people fat. 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 turn again, and be healed.”
11A keď som povedal: Až dokedy, Pane? odpovedal: Až dokiaľ nespustnú mestá na toľko, že nebude obyvateľa, a domy, že nebude v nich človeka, a dokiaľ zem celkom nespustne.
11Then I said, “Lord, how long?” He answered, “Until cities are waste without inhabitant, and houses without man, and the land becomes utterly waste,
12A Hospodin vzdiali človeka, a bude to veľká opustenosť v zemi.
12And Yahweh has removed men far away, and the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land.
13Ale dokiaľ v nej bude ešte čo aj len desiata čiastka, vše bude pálená, jako brest a jako dub, ktorým, keď ich povalia, ponechávajú len parez; jej parez bude svätým semenom.
13If there is a tenth left in it, that also will in turn be consumed: as a terebinth, and as an oak, whose stock remains when they are felled; so the holy seed is its stock.”
