1 No ano da morte do rei Uzias, eu vi o Senhor assentado sobre um alto e sublime trono, e as abas de suas vestes enchiam o templo. 2 Serafins estavam por cima dele; cada um tinha seis asas: com duas cobria o rosto, com duas cobria os seus pés e com duas voava. 3 E clamavam uns para os outros, dizendo: Santo, santo, santo é o Senhor dos Exércitos; toda a terra está cheia da sua glória. 4 As bases do limiar se moveram à voz do que clamava, e a casa se encheu de fumaça. 5 Então, disse eu: ai de mim! Estou perdido! Porque sou homem de lábios impuros, habito no meio de um povo de impuros lábios, e os meus olhos viram o Rei, o Senhor dos Exércitos!

6 Então, um dos serafins voou para mim, trazendo na mão uma brasa viva, que tirara do altar com uma tenaz; 7 com a brasa tocou a minha boca e disse: Eis que ela tocou os teus lábios; a tua iniquidade foi tirada, e perdoado, o teu pecado.

8 Depois disto, ouvi a voz do Senhor, que dizia: A quem enviarei, e quem há de ir por nós? Disse eu: eis-me aqui, envia-me a mim. 9 Então, disse ele: Vai e dize a este povo: Ouvi, ouvi e não entendais; vede, vede, mas não percebais. 10 Torna insensível o coração deste povo, endurece-lhe os ouvidos e fecha-lhe os olhos, para que não venha ele a ver com os olhos, a ouvir com os ouvidos e a entender com o coração, e se converta, e seja salvo. 11 Então, disse eu: até quando, Senhor? Ele respondeu: Até que sejam desoladas as cidades e fiquem sem habitantes, as casas fiquem sem moradores, e a terra seja de todo assolada, 12 e o Senhor afaste dela os homens, e no meio da terra seja grande o desamparo. 13 Mas, se ainda ficar a décima parte dela, tornará a ser destruída. Como terebinto e como carvalho, dos quais, depois de derribados, ainda fica o toco, assim a santa semente é o seu toco.

1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple. 2 Above him stood the seraphim: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. 3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is Jehovah of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. 4 And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 Then 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, Jehovah of hosts.

6 Then flew one of the seraphim unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: 7 and he touched my mouth with it, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin forgiven. 8 And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said, Here am I; send me. 9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. 10 Make 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 turn again, and be healed. 11 Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until cities be waste without inhabitant, and houses without man, and the land become utterly waste, 12 and Jehovah have removed men far away, and the forsaken places be many in the midst of the land. 13 And if there be yet a tenth in it, it also shall in turn be eaten up: as a terebinth, and as an oak, whose stock remaineth, when they are felled; so the holy seed is the stock thereof.

1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple.

2 Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying.

3 And they were calling to one another: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory."

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

5 "Woe to me!" I cried. "I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty."

6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal 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; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for."

8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"

9 He said, "Go and tell this people: "'Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving.'

10 Make the heart of this people calloused; make their ears dull and close their eyes. "Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed."

11 Then I said, "For how long, Lord?" And he answered: "Until the cities lie ruined and without inhabitant, until the houses are left deserted and the fields ruined and ravaged,

12 until the LORD has sent everyone far away and the land is utterly forsaken.

13 And though a tenth remains in the land, it will again be laid waste. But as the terebinth and oak leave stumps when they are cut down, so the holy seed will be the stump in the land."
