Liber Isaiae

Isaiae, chapter 6, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 6 Vulgate

   1 In anno, quo mortuus est rex Ozias, vidi Dominum edentem super solium excelsum et elevatum; et fimbriae eius replebant templum.
   2 Seraphim stabant iuxta eum; sex alae uni et sex alae alteri: duabus velabat faciem suam et duabus velabat pedes suos et duabus volabat.
   3 Et clamabat alter ad alterum et dicebat: "Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus Dominus exercituum; plena est omnis terra gloria eius".
   4 Et commota sunt superliminaria cardinum a voce clamantis, et domus repleta est fumo.
   5 Et dixi: "Vae mihi, quia perii! Quia vir pollutus labiis ego sum et in medio populi polluta labia habentis ego habito et regem, Dominum exercituum, vidi oculis meis".
   6 Et volavit ad me unus de seraphim, et in manu eius calculus, quem forcipe tulerat de altari,
   7 et tetigit os meum et dixit: "Ecce tetigit hoc labia tua, et auferetur iniquitas tua, et peccatum tuum mundabitur".
   8 Et audivi vocem Domini dicentis: "Quem mittam? Et quis ibit nobis?". Et dixi: "Ecce ego, mitte me".
   9 Et dixit: "Vade, et dices populo huic: "Audientes audite et nolite intellegere, et videntes videte et nolite cognoscere".
   10 Pingue redde cor populi huius et aures eius aggrava et oculos eius excaeca, ne forte videat oculis suis et auribus suis audiat et corde suo intellegat et convertatur et sanetur".
   11 Et dixi: "Usquequo, Domine?". Et dixit: "Donec desolentur civitates absque habitatore, et domus sine homine, et terra relinquatur deserta".
   12 Et longe adducet Dominus homines, et magna erit desolatio in medio terrae;
   13 et adhuc in ea decimatio, et rursus excisioni tradetur sicut terebinthus et sicut quercus, in quibus deiectis manebit aliquid stabile. Semen sanctum erit id quod steterit in ea.

King James Version

   1 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.
   2 Above 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.
   3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
   4 And the posts of the door moved 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, the LORD of hosts.
   6 Then 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:
   7 And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
   8 Also 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.
   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 convert, and be healed.
   11 Then 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,
   12 And the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.
   13 ¶ But 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.
