حِزْقِيال 1
| وَحَدَثَ فِي الْيَوْمِ الْخَامِسِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الرَّابِعِ الْعِبْرِيِّ، فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّلاثِينَ، فِيمَا كُنْتُ بَيْنَ الْمَسْبِيِّينَ بِجُوَارِ نَهْرِ خَابُورَ، أَنِ انْفَتَحَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ فَشَاهَدْتُ رُؤَى مِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ. | ١ 1 |
And it happened that, in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth of the month, when I was in the midst of the captives beside the river Chebar, the heavens were opened, and I saw the visions of God.
| فِي الْيَوْمِ الْخَامِسِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ، فِي السَّنَةِ الْخَامِسَةِ لِسَبْيِ الْمَلِكِ يُويَاكِينَ، | ٢ 2 |
On the fifth of the month, the same is the fifth year of the transmigration of king Joachin,
| أَوْحَى الرَّبُّ إِلَى حِزْقِيَالَ الْكَاهِنِ ابْنِ بُوزِي عِنْدَ جُوَارِ نَهْرِ خَابُورَ، فِي دِيَارِ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ، إِذْ كَانَتْ عَلَيَّ يَدُ الرَّبِّ، | ٣ 3 |
the word of the Lord came to Ezekiel, a priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans, next to the river Chebar. And the hand of the Lord was over him there.
| فَأَبْصَرْتُ رِيحاً عَاصِفَةً تَهُبُّ مِنَ الشِّمَالِ مَصْحُوبَةً بِسَحَابَةٍ هَائِلَةٍ، وَنَارٍ مُتَوَاصِلَةٍ مُتَوَهِّجَةٍ بِهَالَةٍ مُحِيطَةٍ مِنَ الضِّيَاءِ؛ وَمِنْ وَسَطِهَا يَتَأَلَّقُ مِثْلُ النُّحَاسِ اللّامِعِ الْبَارِقِ مِنْ وَسَطِ النَّارِ. | ٤ 4 |
And I saw, and behold, a whirlwind arrived from the north. And a great cloud, wrapped in fire and brightness, was all around it. And from its midst, that is, from the midst of the fire, there was something with the appearance of amber.
| وَمِنْ دَاخِلِهَا بَدَا شِبْهُ أَرْبَعَةِ كَائِنَاتٍ حَيَّةٍ تُمَاثِلُ فِي صُوَرِهَا شِبْهَ إِنْسَانٍ، | ٥ 5 |
And in its midst, there was the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: the likeness of a man was in them.
| وَكَانَ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهَا أَرْبَعَةُ أَوْجُهٍ وَأَرْبَعَةُ أَجْنِحَةٍ. | ٦ 6 |
Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings.
| وَكَانَتْ سِيقَانُهَا مُسْتَقِيمَةً، وَأَقْدَامُهَا مُشَابِهَةً لأَقْدَامِ الْعِجْلِ، وَهِيَ تُبْرِقُ كَبَرِيقِ النُّحَاسِ الْمَصْقُولِ. | ٧ 7 |
Their feet were straight feet, and the sole of their foot was like the sole of the foot of a calf, and they sparkled with the appearance of glowing brass.
| وَتَحْتَ أَجْنِحَتِهَا الْقَائِمَةِ عَلَى جَوَانِبِهَا الأَرْبَعَةِ، أَيْدِي بَشَرٍ، وَكَانَ لِكُلِّ كَائِنٍ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْكَائِنَاتِ الأَرْبَعَةِ أَجْنِحَةٌ وَأَوْجُهٌ. | ٨ 8 |
And they had the hands of a man under their wings on the four sides. And they had faces with the wings on the four sides.
| وَكَانَتْ أَجْنِحَتُهَا تَتَلامَسُ، وَأَوْجُهُهَا لَا تَدُورُ عِنْدَ سَيْرِهَا، بَلْ يَسِيرُ كُلٌّ مِنْهَا وَوَجْهُهُ مُتَّجِهٌ إِلَى الأَمَامِ. | ٩ 9 |
And their wings were joined to one another. They did not turn as they went. Instead, each one advanced before his face.
| أَمَّا أَشْكَالُ أَوْجُهِهَا، فَكَانَ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهَا وَجْهُ إِنْسَانٍ، يُحَاذِيهِ إِلَى الْيَمِينِ وَجْهُ أَسَدٍ، وَإِلَى الشِّمَالِ وَجْهُ ثَوْرٍ، ثُمَّ إِلَى جُوَارِهِ وَجْهُ نَسْرٍ. | ١٠ 10 |
But as for the likeness of their face, there was the face of a man, and the face of a lion on the right of each of the four, then the face of an ox on the left of each of the four, and the face of an eagle above each of the four.
| كَانَتْ هَذِهِ أَشْكَالَ أَوْجُهِهَا. وَكَانَ لِكُلٍّ مِنْهَا أَرْبعَةُ أَجْنِحَةٍ تَمْتَدُّ مِنْ وَسَطِ الظَّهْرِ: اثْنَانِ يَتَّصِلُ طَرَفُ كُلٍّ مِنْهُمَا بِطَرَفِ جَنَاحِ الْكَائِنِ الآخَرِ، وَاثْنَانِ يَسْتُرَانِ أَجْسَامَهُمَا. | ١١ 11 |
Their faces and their wings were extended above: two wings of each one were joined together, and two covered their bodies.
| وَكَانَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهَا يَتَّجِهُ إِلَى الأَمَامِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَدُورَ، فَحَيْثُمَا يَتَوَجَّهُ الرُّوحُ يَتَوَجَّهُونَ هُمْ أَيْضاً. | ١٢ 12 |
And each one of them advanced before his face. Wherever the impetus of the spirit was to go, there they went. And they did not turn as they advanced.
| أَمَّا مَنْظَرُ الْكَائِنَاتِ الْحَيَّةِ هَذِهِ فَكَانَ كَجَمَرَاتِ نَارٍ مُتَّقِدَةٍ، أَوْ مَشَاعِلَ تَجُوزُ جِيئَةً وَذَهَاباً بَيْنَ الْكَائِنَاتِ الْحَيَّةِ. وَكَانَتِ النَّارُ مُضِيئَةً يَلْمَعُ مِنْهَا وَمِيضُ بَرْقٍ. | ١٣ 13 |
And as for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like that of burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps. This was the vision dashing in the midst of the living creatures, a bright fire, with lightning going forth from the fire.
| وَالْكَائِنَاتُ الْحَيَّةُ تَتَرَاكَضُ ذِهَاباً وَإِيَاباً فِي سُرْعَةِ لَمْحِ الْبَرْقِ. | ١٤ 14 |
And the living creatures went and returned like flashes of lightning.
| وَفِيمَا كُنْتُ أَتَأَمَّلُ فِي الْكَائِنَاتِ الْحَيَّةِ، إِذَا بِي أُشَاهِدُ أَرْبَعَ عَجَلاتٍ، عَجَلَةٍ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ الْكَائِنَاتِ الْحَيَّةِ. | ١٥ 15 |
And as I beheld the living creatures, there appeared above the earth, next to the living creatures, one wheel having four faces.
| أَمَّا شَكْلُ الْعَجَلاتِ وَصَنْعَتُهَا فَكَانَ كَمِثْلِ الزَّبَرْجَدِ، وَهِيَ مُتَشَابِهَةُ الصُّورَةِ. وَكَانَ مَنْظَرُهَا وَصَنْعَتُهَا كَأَنَّهَا عَجَلَةٌ دَاخِلَ عَجَلَةٍ. | ١٦ 16 |
And the appearance of the wheels and their work was like the appearance of the sea. And each of the four were similar to one another. And their appearance and work was like a wheel in the center of a wheel.
| وَإذَا سَارَتْ فَإِنَّهَا تَسِيرُ فِي أَيٍّ مِنَ الاتِّجَاهَاتِ الأَرْبَعَةِ إِلَى الأَمَامِ، مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ تَتَحَوَّلَ عَنِ اتِّجَاهِهَا. | ١٧ 17 |
Going forth, they went by means of their four parts. And they did not turn as they went.
| أَمَّا أُطُرُهَا فَعَالِيَةٌ وَهَائِلَةٌ، وَجَمِيعُهَا مَلأَى بِالْعُيُونِ. | ١٨ 18 |
Also, the size and height and appearance of the wheels was dreadful. And the entire body was full of eyes all around each of the four.
| وَكُلَّمَا تَتَحَرَّكُ الْكَائِنَاتُ الْحَيَّةُ، تَتَحَرَّكُ مَعَهَا الْعَجَلاتُ، وَكُلَّمَا تَرْتَفِعُ عَنِ الأَرْضِ تَرْتَفِعُ مَعَهَا الْعَجَلاتُ أَيْضاً. | ١٩ 19 |
And when the living creatures advanced, the wheels advanced together with them. And when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels, too, were lifted up at the same time.
| وَحَيْثُمَا يَتَوَجَّهُ الرُّوحُ تَتَوَجَّهُ أَيْضاً، وَتَرْتَفِعُ مَعَهَا عَجَلاتُهَا، لأَنَّ رُوحَ الْكَائِنَاتِ الْحَيَّةِ سَارٍ أَيْضاً فِي الْعَجَلاتِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Wherever the spirit went, as the spirit was going forth to that place, the wheels, too, were lifted up together, so as to follow them. For the spirit of life was in the wheels.
| فَإِنْ سَارَتْ هَذِهِ تَسِيرُ تِلْكَ، وَإِنْ تَوَقَّفَتْ تَتَوَقَّفُ، لأَنَّ رُوحَ الْكَائِنَاتِ الْحَيَّةِ سَارٍ فِي الْعَجَلاتِ أَيْضاً. | ٢١ 21 |
When going forth, they went forth, and when standing still, they stood still. And when they were lifted up from the earth, the wheels, too, were lifted up together, so as to follow them. For the spirit of life was in the wheels.
| وَانْبَسَطَ فَوْقَ رُؤُوسِ الْكَائِنَاتِ الْحَيَّةِ جَلَدٌ يُشْبِهُ الْبِلَّوْرَ الْمُتَلألِئَ الْهَائِلَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
And above the heads of the living creatures was the likeness of a firmament: similar to crystal, but dreadful to behold, and extending over their heads from above.
| وَامْتَدَّتْ أَجْنِحَتُهَا تَحْتَ الْجَلَدِ بِاسْتِقَامَةٍ، الْوَاحِدُ نَحْوَ الآخَرِ. لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهَا جَنَاحَانِ يَسْتُرَانِ جِسْمَهُ مِنَ الْجَانِبَيْنِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
And their wings were straight under the firmament, one toward the other. One of them was covered by two wings on his body, and the other was covered similarly.
| وَعِنْدَمَا سَارَتْ سَمِعْتُ رَفْرَفَةَ أَجْنِحَتِهَا كَهَدِيرِ مِيَاهٍ غَزِيرَةٍ، كَصَوْتِ الْقَدِيرِ، كَصَوْتِ جَلَبَةِ جَيْشٍ، وَعِنْدَ تَوَقُّفِهَا كَانَتْ تُرْخِي أَجْنِحَتَهَا. | ٢٤ 24 |
And I heard the sound of their wings, like the sound of many waters, like the sound of the sublime God. When they walked, it was like the sound of a multitude, like the sound of an army. And when they stood still, their wings were let down.
| وَصَدَرَ صَوْتٌ مِنْ فَوْقِ الْجَلَدِ الْمُنْبَسِطِ عَلَى رُؤُوسِهَا. وَحِينَ تَتَوَقَّفُ كَانَتْ تُرْخِي أَجْنِحَتَهَا. | ٢٥ 25 |
For when a voice came from above the firmament, which was over their heads, they stood still, and they put down their wings.
| وَانْتَصَبَ فَوْقَ الْجَلَدِ الْمُنْبَسِطِ عَلَى رُؤُوسِهَا شِبْهُ عَرْشٍ، مَنْظَرُهُ كَحَجَرِ اللازَوَرْدِ. وَيَجْلِسُ عَلَى شِبْهِ العَرْشِ مِنْ فَوْقُ مَنْ هُوَ كَشِبْهِ إِنْسَانٍ. | ٢٦ 26 |
And above the firmament, which was suspended over their heads, there was the likeness of a throne, with the appearance of the sapphire stone. And over the likeness of the throne, there was a likeness with the appearance of a man above it.
| وَرَأَيْتُ مَا يَبْدُو مِنْ حَقْوَيْهِ فَمَا فَوْقُ وَكَأَنَّهُ نُحَاسٌ لامِعٌ يَتَوَهَّجُ فِي دَاخِلِهِ وَحَوَالَيْهِ. أَمَّا مَا يَبْدُو مِنْ حَقْوَيْهِ وَمَا تَحْتُ، فَكَأَنَّهُ نَارٌ، وَحَوَالَيْهَا يَشِعُّ بِالضِّيَاءِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
And I saw something with the appearance of amber, with the likeness of fire within it and all around it. And from his waist and upward, and from his waist downward, I saw something with the appearance of fire shining all around.
| وَكَانَ مَنْظَرُ اللَّمَعَانِ الْمُحِيطِ بِهِ كَمَنْظَرِ قَوْسِ قُزَحٍ فِي يَوْمٍ مَطِيرٍ؛ هَكَذَا كَانَ مَنْظَرُ شِبْهِ مَجْدِ الرَّبِّ. وَعِنْدَمَا أَبْصَرْتُ خَرَرْتُ عَلَى وَجْهِي وَسَمِعْتُ صَوْتاً يَتَكَلَّمُ. | ٢٨ 28 |
There was the appearance of the rainbow, as when it is in a cloud on a rainy day. This was the appearance of the splendor on every side.
