Ezekiel 1
1 Kum sawmthum dongkah a hla li sa hnin nga lo coeng. Kebar tuiva kah vangsawn lakli ah ka om vaengah vaan ong uh tih Pathen kah mangthui te ka hmuh.
And it comes to pass, in the thirtieth year, in the fourth [month], on the fifth of the month, and I [am] in the midst of the expulsion by the river Chebar, the heavens have been opened, and I see visions of God.
2 Te vaengah manghai Jehoiachin hlangsol kah kum nga hla nga lo coeng.
In the fifth of the month—it is the fifth year of the expulsion of King Jehoiachin—
3 Kebar tuiva Khalden kho kah khosoih Buzi capa Ezekiel taengah BOEIPA ol om rhoe om coeng. Te vaengah BOEPA kut anih soah pahoi tueng.
the word of YHWH has certainly been to Ezekiel son of Buzi the priest, in the land of the Chaldeans, by the river Chebar, and there is on him there a hand of YHWH.
4 Ka sawt vaengah tlangpuei lamkah hlipuei khohli tarha ha pawk. Cingmai kah a thah neh hmai khaw phaa tih a kaepvai neh a laklung kah a aa rhoe mah hmai lung kah hnaibok kah a pang bangla om.
And I look, and behold, a turbulent wind is coming from the north, a great cloud, and fire catching itself, and brightness to it all around, and out of its midst as the color of electrum, out of the midst of the fire.
5 A laklung lamkah te khaw mulhing pali phek coeng tih a mueimae tah hlang phek la om.
And out of its midst [is] a likeness of four living creatures, and this [is] their appearance; a likeness of man [is] to them,
6 Tedae khat rhip loh maelhmai pali neh amih khat rhip dongah phae pali om.
and each had four faces and each of them had four wings,
7 Amih kho tah a kho khaw thuem tih amih kho khopha tah saelca kho khopha bangla om. Te vaengah rhohum ngo kah a pang bangla khooi.
and their feet [are] straight feet, and the sole of their feet [is] as a sole of a calf’s foot, and they are sparkling as the color of bright bronze;
8 A phae hmui kah a kut khaw hlang kut bangla om. Amih pali te a vae pali ah khaw a maelhmai neh a phae boeih om.
and on their four sides [each had] hands of man under their wings; and [each] of the four had their faces and their wings;
9 A manu neh a la te a phae hum uh tih hoi uh thai pawh. Tekah hlang te a caeh vaengah a maelhmai neh a dannah la dawk pongpa uh.
their wings [are] joining to one another, they do not turn around in their going, they each go straight forward.
10 Amih maelhmai te hlang maelhmai phek la om. Amih pali te bantang benah sathueng maelhmai la om tih a pli la banvoei benah vaito maelhmai neh a pali la atha maelhmai kap.
As for the likeness of their faces, [each had] the face of a man, and toward the right the four had the face of a lion, and on the left the four had the face of an ox, and the four had the face of an eagle.
11 A maelhmai khaw amah coeng tih a phae te a so la phuel uh. Khat neh khat te sisuk uh rhoi tih a pum te a khuk rhoi.
And their faces and their wings dividing from above, of each [are] two joining together, and two are covering their bodies.
12 Te dongah a maelhmai kah a dannah la rhip cet uh. Mela a om akhaw mueihla te tangrhoeng cet rhoe cet coeng. Te dongah amamih kah a caeh bangla mael uh pawh.
And they each go straight forward, to where the Spirit is to go, they go, they do not turn around in their going.
13 A mueimae tah mulhing phek neh hmai dongkah hmai-alh aka alh bangla, hmaithoi kah a mueimae bangla om. Anih te mulhing lakli ah a pongpa hatah hmai la aa tih hmai lamloh rhaek ha thoeng.
As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearances [are] as coals of fire—burning as the appearance of lamps; it is going up and down between the living creatures, and brightness [is] to the fire, and lightning is going forth out of the fire.
14 Mulhing te a thoeihyet vaengah rhaek kah a mueimae bangla ha mael.
And the living creatures are running, and turning back, as the appearance of the flash.
15 Te vaengah mulhing rhoek te khaw a maelhmai pali neh mulhing diklai taengkah diklai dongah lengkho pakhat rhip te khaw kak ka hmuh.
And I see the living creatures, and behold, one wheel [is] in the earth, near the living creatures, at its four faces.
16 Amih kah moeiboe tah timsuih a pang phek tih amih pali te pakhat phek la om uh. Amih kah mueimae neh a moeiboe tah lengkho laklung ah lengkho aka om phek la om.
The appearance of the wheels and their works [is] as the color of beryl, and the four of them had one likeness, and their appearances and their works [are] as it were the wheel in the midst of the wheel.
17 A vae pali longah a pongpa uh ham khaw cet uh dae a caeh uh bangla mael uh thai pawh.
On their four sides, in their going they go, they do not turn around in their going.
18 Amih te a uen thah tih amih te a rhiim om. A uen te amih pali kah a pang kaepvai ah bae.
As for their rings, they are both high and fearful, and their rings, of the four of them, [are] full of eyes around them.
19 Mulhing rhoek a thoeih uh vaengah a taengkah lengkho te thoeih. Mulhing te diklai dong lamloh a phoh uh vaengah lengkho rhoek khaw phoh uh van.
And in the going of the living creatures, the wheels go beside them, and in the living creatures being lifted up from off the earth, the wheels are lifted up.
20 Melam khaw mueihla te a caeh rhoe a caeh ham a om atah mueihla taengla pahoi cet uh van. Mulhing mueihla he lengkho ah a om dongah lengkho khaw amih voeivang ah phoh uh van.
To where the Spirit is to go, they go, there the Spirit [is] to go, and the wheels are lifted up alongside them, for a living spirit [is] in the wheels.
21 A caeh ham vaengah thoeih uh tih a pai uh ham vaengah pai uh. Diklai dong lamloh a phoh uh vaengah lengkho loh amih voeivang ah a phoh van. Lengkho khuiah mulhing mueihla om.
In their going, they go; and in their standing, they stand; and in their being lifted up from off the earth, the wheels are lifted up alongside them; for a living spirit [is] in the wheels.
22 Mulhing lu sokah te bangyai phek la om. Rhaelnu a pang bangla a rhih om tih amih lu so duela yaal hang.
And over the heads of the living creatures—a likeness of an expanse, as the color of the fearful ice, stretched out over their heads from above.
23 bangyai hmui ah a manu loh a la taengla a phae a phuel te thuem. Amih aka thing rhoi khaw rhip om tih a pum aka dah rhoi te khaw rhip om.
And under the expanse their wings [are] straight, one toward [its] sister; two [wings] of each are covering them, and two [wings] of each are covering their bodies.
24 A phae ol te tui len ol bangla, Tlungthang ol bangla ka yaak. Lambong ol bangla a kawk ol neh khong uh tih a pai daengah a phae te a bai uh.
And I hear the noise of their wings, as the noise of many waters, as the noise of the Mighty One, in their going—the noise of tumult, as the noise of a camp, in their standing they let their wings fall.
25 Amih te pai tih a phae a hlah vaengah amih lu sokah bangyai so lamloh ol ha thoeng.
And there is a voice from above the expanse, that [is] above their head: in their standing they let their wings fall.
26 Amih lu sokah bangyai so te minhum lung kah a mueimae bangla ngolkhoel phek la om. Ngolkhoel mueiloh soah hlang kah mueimae bangla mueiloh om hang bal.
And above the expanse that [is] over their head, as an appearance of a sapphire stone, [is] the likeness of a throne, and on the likeness of the throne a likeness, as the appearance of man on it from above.
27 A cinghen lamloh a so duela a kaepvai te rhohumbok kah a pang neh imkhui hmai kah mueimae bangla ka hmuh. A cinghen lamloh a dang thuk kah a mueimae khaw hmai mueimae bangla a kaepvai ah a aa ka hmuh.
And I see as the color of electrum, as the appearance of fire all around within it, from the appearance of His loins and upward; and from the appearance of His loins and downward, I have seen as the appearance of fire, and brightness [is] all around Him.
28 Khonal khohnin ah cingmai dongkah pampacung mueimae bangla om. A kaepvai kah a aa mueimae khaw BOEIPA kah thangpomnah mueimae phek ni. Ka hmuh vaengah ka maelhmai dongah ka cungku tih ol a thui ka yaak.
As the appearance of the bow that is in a cloud in a day of rain, so [is] the appearance of the brightness all around.
