Ezekiel 1
1 Aruithumnae kum, thapa yung pali, hnin panganae dawkvah, Kebar tui teng san lah kaawm e Judahnaw koe ka o navah, hettelah doeh. Kalvan a kamawng teh, Cathut e vision ka hmu.
Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, that I was in the midst of the captivity by the river of Chobar; and the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
2 Siangpahrang Jehoiakim e san lah ao nah kum, thapa yung pali, hnin panga hnin dawk,
On the fifth day of the month; this was the fifth year of the captivity of king Joakim.
3 Khaldean ram Kebar tui teng vah, Buzi capa vaihma Ezekiel koevah, BAWIPA e lawk karang poung lah a pha teh, hawvah BAWIPA e kut teh a lathueng vah ao.
And the word of the Lord came to Jezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans, by the river of Chobar; and the hand of the Lord was upon me.
4 Ka khet teh atunglah hoi katang poung e kahlî kathout a tho e ka hmu. Ka raim poung e tâmai dawk hoi sumpapalik teh, atengpam pueng pheng a ang. Sumpapalik e palek ka ang e teh rahum patetlah ao.
And I looked, and, behold, a sweeping wind came from the north, and a great cloud on it, and [there was] brightness round about it, and gleaming fire, and in the midst of it as it were the appearance of amber in the midst of the fire, and brightness in it.
5 Tâmai lungui vah moithang pali touh a kamnue awh. Hote moithangnaw e meilam teh, tami e meilam ka sin e hah a tâco.
And in the midst as it were the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; the likeness of a man was upon them.
6 Minhmai pali touh hoi rathei pali touh rip a tawn awh.
And each one [had] four faces, and each one [had] four wings.
7 A khok teh kalanthoung niteh, Maito khokpatin patet e a tawn awh. Rahum loukloukkaang e patetlah a ang awh.
And their legs were straight; and their feet were winged, and [there were] sparks, like gleaming brass, and their wings were light.
8 Minhmai pali, rathei pali touh hloilah tami kut patetlah pali touh rip a tawn awh teh, rathei rahim lengkaleng ao.
And the hand of a man was under their wings on their four sides.
9 Moithang pali touh e naw ni, a rathei kadai awh nah a rathei dong hmo koung a kâbet. Rathei a kangdue teh, a kâroe awh nahai a tak kâroe laipalah a kâtahruet awh.
And the faces of them four turned not when they went; they went everyone straight forward.
10 Moithang pali touh ni minhmai pali touh rip a tawn awh. A hmalah tami e mei, aranglah sendek mei, avoilah maitotan mei, a hnuklah mataw mei a tawn awh.
And the likeness of their faces was the face of a man, and the face of a lion on the right of the four; and the face of a calf on the left of the four; and the face of an eagle to the four.
11 Moithang pali touh ni a rathei kahni touh rip a kâhmo thai nahanlah a kadai awh teh, alouke hah a tak a ramuk nah aw.
And the four had their wings spread out above; each one [had] two joined to one another, and two covered their bodies.
12 Hmalah kalancalah a cei awh teh, muitha ni ceisak han a ngainae pueng koe a cei awh, a cei awh navah kamlang awh hoeh.
And each one went straight forward: wherever the spirit was going they went, and turned not back.
13 Moithangnaw e kâvannae teh, ka tawk e hmaito, moithangnaw rahak vah hnuklah hmalah ka cet e hmaito patetlah ao. Hmaito thung hoi sumpapalik.
And in the midst of the living creatures [there was] an appearance as of burning coals of fire, as an appearance of lamps turning among the living creatures; and the brightness of fire, and out of the fire came forth lightning.
14 Moithangnaw ni hai sumpapalik e patetlah hnuklah hmalah a kamlang awh teh a yawng awh.
15 Moithang pali touh ka khet lahun nah lengkhok hah Moithang pali touh teng vah talai dawk kaawm e hah ka hmu.
And I looked, and, behold, the four [had each] one wheel on the ground near the living creatures.
16 Lengkhoknaw a kamnuenae hoi a coungnae teh Beril talung phukaawm hoi a kâvan. Pali touh hoi a coungnae rei a kâvan awh teh, a meilam teh lengkhok buet touh thung buet touh mawp e patetlah ao.
And the appearance of the wheels was as the appearance of beryl: and the four had one likeness: and their work was as it were a wheel in a wheel.
17 A kâtahruet navah a hmalah lengkaleng a cei awh teh, a cei awh navah kâhei laipalah a cei thai awh.
They went on their four sides: they turned not as they went;
18 Lengkhoknaw hai arasang teh taki a tho poung. Hote pali touh teh mit hoi king a kawi awh.
neither did their backs [turn]: and they were high: and I beheld them, and the backs of them four were full of eyes round about.
19 Moithangnaw teh a cei awh navah, lengkhok ni a hnuk a kâbang awh teh, Moithangnaw hah talai dawk hoi tawm takhang lah ao navah, lengkhok hai a kâtawm.
And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures lifted themselves off the earth, the wheels were lifted off.
20 Muitha ni ceisak hane a ngainae tangkuem koe a cei awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, muitha hah haw vah a cei. Lengkhok teh amamouh hoi tawm lah ao awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Moithangnaw e muitha teh lengkhok dawk ao.
Wherever the cloud happened to be, there was the spirit ready to go: the wheels went and were lifted up with them; because the spirit of life was in the wheels.
21 Ahnimanaw a cei awh navah, lengkhoknaw hai a cei awh. Ahnimouh a kangdue navah, lengkhoknaw hai a kangdue. Ahnimouh talai hoi tawm lah ao navah, lengkhok hai ahnimouh koe tawm e lah ao. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Moithangnaw e muitha teh lengkhok dawk ao.
When those went, [the wheels] went; and when those stood, [the wheels] stood; and when those lifted themselves off the earth, they were lifted off with them: for the spirit of life was in the wheels.
22 Moithangnaw e lû dawk khristal talung pangaw loukloukkaang e patetlah sak e kalvan ni a kalup.
And the likeness over the heads of the living creatures was as a firmament, as the appearance of crystal, spread out over their wings above.
23 Hote kalup e rahim vah, Moithangnaw a kangdue. Alawilah amamae tak a ramuk nahanelah rathei kahni touh a kadai. Alouke rathei kahni touh hoi a tak hah a ramuk awh.
And their wings were spread out under the firmament, reaching one to the other; two [wings] to each, covering their bodies.
24 A kamleng awh nah a rathei takhawng pawlawk ka thai teh, tuipui tuicapa pawlawk hoi ransahu pawlawk patetlah tamimaya a hram e pawlawk hoi Athakasaipounge Cathut lawk patetlah ka thai teh, a kâhat nah a ratheinaw hah a cakuep awh.
And I heard the sound of their wings when they went, as the sound of much water: and when they stood, their wings were let down.
25 A kâhat awh teh a ratheinaw a cakuep awh navah, ahnimae lû lathueng vah kalvan hoi lawk pou a tho.
And lo! a voice from above the firmament
26 A lûnaw dawk kaawm e lathueng kalvan rasang dawk bawitungkhung patetlah sapphire talung aphu kaawm e patetlah ka kamnuek e ao. Haw e bawitungkhung patetlah kaawm e dawkvah, tami hoi kâvan e ao.
that was over their head, [there was] as the appearance of a sapphire stone, [and] the likeness of a throne upon it: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as an appearance of a man above.
27 A keng lathueng lah dingyinnaw patetlah loukloukkaang e ka hmu. keng koehoi a rahim lae teh, hmaisaan patetlah ka hmu, petkâkalup lah koung a ang.
And I saw as it were the resemblance of amber from the appearance of the loins and upwards, and from the appearance of the loins and under I saw an appearance of fire, and the brightness thereof round about.
28 Kho a rak hnin e tâmai dawk e salumpa kamnuek e patetlah a tengpam angnae a kamnuenae ao. Ka hmu navah, pakhup lah ka rawp teh lawk kadeikung e lawk hah ka thai.
As the appearance of the bow when it is in the cloud in days of rain, so was the form of brightness round about.
