< 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.
NOW IT came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river Chebar that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
2 Te vaengah manghai Jehoiachin hlangsol kah kum nga hla nga lo coeng.
In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity,
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 the LORD came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the LORD was there upon him.
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 looked, and, behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, a great cloud, with a fire flashing up, so that a brightness was round about it; and out of the midst thereof as the colour 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 the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man.
6 Tedae khat rhip loh maelhmai pali neh amih khat rhip dongah phae pali om.
And every one had four faces, and every one 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 were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot; and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass.
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 they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and as for the faces and wings of them four,
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 were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one 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, they had the face of a man; and they four had the face of a lion on the right side; and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four had also 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.
Thus were their faces; and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered 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 went every one straight forward; whither the spirit was to go, they went; they turned not when they went.
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 appearance was like coals of fire, burning like the appearance of torches; it flashed up and down among the living creatures; and there was brightness to the fire, and out of the fire went forth lightning.
14 Mulhing te a thoeihyet vaengah rhaek kah a mueimae bangla ha mael.
And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.
15 Te vaengah mulhing rhoek te khaw a maelhmai pali neh mulhing diklai taengkah diklai dongah lengkho pakhat rhip te khaw kak ka hmuh.
Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel at the bottom hard by the living creatures, at the four faces thereof.
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 work was like unto the colour of a beryl; and they four had one likeness; and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel within a wheel.
17 A vae pali longah a pongpa uh ham khaw cet uh dae a caeh uh bangla mael uh thai pawh.
When they went, they went toward their four sides; they turned not when they went.
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 were high and they were dreadful; and they four had their rings full of eyes round about.
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 when the living creatures went, the wheels went hard by them; and when the living creatures were lifted up from the bottom, the wheels were 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.
Whithersoever the spirit was to go, as the spirit was to go thither, so they went; and the wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of the living creature was 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.
When those went, these went, and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of the living creature was 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 there was the likeness of a firmament, like the colour of the terrible ice, stretched forth over their heads 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 firmament were their wings conformable the one to the other; this one of them had two which covered, and that one of them had two which covered, 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 when they went, I heard the noise of their wings like the noise of great waters, like the voice of the Almighty, a noise of tumult like the noise of a host; when they stood, they let down their wings.
25 Amih te pai tih a phae a hlah vaengah amih lu sokah bangyai so lamloh ol ha thoeng.
For, when there was a voice above the firmament that was over their heads, as they stood, they let down their wings.
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 firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone; and upon the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man upon it 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 saw as the colour of electrum, as the appearance of fire round about enclosing it, from the appearance of his loins and upward; and from the appearance of his loins and downward I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness round about 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 the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spoke.
