Abstract

In this contribution, the focus will be on the text of Isa 6:1-13 from the perspective of a generational imprinted trauma1 and resilience. This interdisciplinary approach renders a new conversation on Isaiah's vision, not only giving scope to the ensuing traumatic events but also ascertaining hope and resilience that are embedded within the corpus of the chapter. These traumatic events and the possibility of hope expose the vulnerability2 of the prophet and the people of Judah within the complexity of the text. The aim of the contribution is to give an understanding of trauma, collective trauma and the possibility of hope as experienced within the prophet's commission and vision as well as to investigate the impact that collective trauma has on the people. Thus, this article belongs in the domain of the literary and theological interpretation of the book of Isaiah and contributes towards the history of development of the book. The contribution will further aim to give an exegetical explanation of the structure of Isa 6 thereby giving a greater theological understanding of the text when using a lens of trauma and resilience.

从世代创伤和韧性的视角重读以赛亚的愿景（Isa 6）

在这篇文章中，重点将放在以赛亚书6:1-13的文本上，从一代人的创伤和恢复能力的角度来看。这种跨学科的方法为以赛亚的愿景提供了一种新的对话，不仅为随后的创伤事件提供了空间，而且还确定了本章语料库中嵌入的希望和弹性。这些创伤性的事件和希望的可能性暴露了先知和犹大人在复杂的文本中的脆弱性。这篇文章的目的是让人们理解创伤，集体创伤以及在先知的使命和愿景中所经历的希望的可能性，并调查集体创伤对人们的影响。因此，本文属于以赛亚书的文学和神学解释领域，并有助于该书的发展历史。这篇文章将进一步致力于对以赛亚书第6章的结构进行训诂解释，从而在使用创伤和恢复的镜头时对文本进行更大的神学理解。
