Ezekiel 1
1 Godine tridesete, četvrtoga mjeseca, petoga dana, kad bijah među izgnanicima na rijeci Kebaru, otvoriše se nebesa i ja ugledah božanska viđenja.
And it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month on the fifth day of the month I being in the midst of them of the captivity, by the river Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
2 Petoga dana istoga mjeseca - godine pete otkako odvedoše u izgnanstvo kralja Jojakima -
On the fifth of the month, that was the fifth year of the captivity of King Jehoiachin,
3 riječ Jahvina dođe Ezekielu, sinu Buzijevu, svećeniku u zemlji kaldejskoj, na rijeci Kebaru. Spusti se na me ruka Jahvina.
in very deed came the word of Yahweh unto Ezekiel son of Buzi the priest in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar, —yea the hand of Yahweh, came on him there.
4 Pogledah, kad ono sa sjevera udario silan vihor, velik oblak, bukteći oganj obavijen sjajem; usred njega, usred ognja, nešto nalik na sjajnu kovinu.
So then I beheld and lo! a tempestuous wind coming out of the North, a great cloud and a fire catching hold of itself, and it had a brightness round about, —and out of the midst thereof, as burnished copper to look upon out of the midst of the fire;
5 Usred toga nešto kao četiri bića, obličjem slična čovjeku;
and out of the midst thereof, a likeness of four living ones, and this was their appearance, the likeness of a man, had they;
6 svako od njih sa četiri obraza, u svakoga četiri krila.
and four faces each, and four wings each, had they;
7 Noge im ravne, a stopala kao u teleta; sijevahu poput glatke mjedi.
and their feet were straight feet, —and the sole of their feet was like the sole of the foot of a calf, but sparkling, as shining bronze to look upon;
8 Ispod krila imahu na sve četiri strane ruke čovječje. I svako od njih četvero imaše svoj obraz i svoja krila.
and the hands of a man! were under their wings, on their four sides, —and their faces and their wings belonged to the four of them:
9 Krila im se spajahu jedno s drugim. Idući, ne okretahu se: svako se naprijed kretaše.
joined to each other, were their wings, —they turned not when they went, each one straight before him, did they go;
10 I u sva četiri bijaše lice čovječje; u sva četiri zdesna lice lavlje; u sva četiri slijeva lice volujsko; i lice orlovsko u sva četiri.
and the likeness of their faces was the face of a man, with the face of a lion to the right of the four of them, and the face of an ox on the left, of the four of them, —the face of an eagle, also had they four;
11 Krila im bijahu gore raskriljena. Svako imaše dva krila što se spajahu i dva krila kojim tijelo pokrivahu.
and their wings were spread above, — two of each joined one another, and two covered their bodies;
12 I svako iđaše samo naprijed. A iđahu onamo kamo ih je duh gonio. I ne okretahu se idući.
and each one straight before him, did they go, —whithersoever the spirit was minded to go, they went, they turned not when they went.
13 A posred tih bića vidjelo se kao neko užareno ugljevlje, kao goruće zublje koje se među njima kretahu; iz ognja sijevaše i munje bljeskahu.
As for the likeness of the living ones, their appearance was like live coals of fire burning up like the appearance of torches, the same went to and fro between the living ones, —and the fire had brightness and out of the fire, went forth a lightning.
14 Bića trčahu i opet se vraćahu poput munje.
And the living ones ran and returned, —like the appearance of a flash of lightning.
15 Dok ja promatrah, gle: na zemlji uza svako od četiri bića po jedan točak.
And I looked at the living ones, —and lo! one wheel upon the earth beside the living ones for each of his four faces,
16 Točkovi bijahu slični krizolitu, sva četiri istoga oblika; oblikom i napravom bijahu kao da je jedan točak u drugome.
The appearance of the wheels and of their structure was like a Tarshish-stone to look upon, and they four had one likeness, —and their appearance and their structure were just as would be a wheel in the midst of a wheel.
17 U kretanju mogli su ići u sva četiri smjera a nisu se morali okretati.
Upon their four sides, when they went, so did they go, —they turned not when they went.
18 Naplatnice im bijahu visoke, a kad bolje promotrih, gle, na sve strane pune očiju.
As for their rings, they were so high that they were terrible, -and their rings full of eyes round about, had they four.
19 Kad bi bića krenula, krenuli bi s njima i točkovi; kad bi se bića sa tla podigla, i točkovi se podizahu.
And when the living ones went, the wheels went beside them, —and when the living ones were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up:
20 Kuda ih je duh gonio, onuda se kretahu, a zajedno se s njima i točkovi podizali, jer duh bića bijaše u točkovima.
whithersoever the spirit was minded to go, they went—thither was the spirit minded to go, —and the wheels would be lifted up along with them, for the spirit of the living one was in the wheels:
21 Pa kad su bića krenula, i točkovi bi krenuli, a kad bi se ona zaustavila, ustavljali se i točkovi; kad se ona sa tla dizahu, i točkovi se s njima podizahu, jer duh bića bijaše u točkovima.
when they went, these went, and when they stood, these stood, —and when they were lifted up from off the earth, the wheels were lifted up along with them, for the spirit of the living one was in the wheels.
22 Nad glavama bića bijaše nešto kao svod nebeski, nalik na sjajan prozirac, uzdignut nad njihovim glavama.
And there was a likeness over the heads of the living one—an expanse, like terrible crystal to look upon, -stretched forth over their heads above.
23 A pod svodom raskriljena krila, jedno prema drugome: svakome po dva krila pokrivahu tijelo.
And under the expanse, their wings were straight, one towards another, —each one had two covering on this side, and each one had two covering on that side, their bodies.
24 Čuh lepet njihovih krila kao huk velikih voda, kao glas Svesilnog, kao silan vihor, kao graju u taboru. Kad bi se bića zaustavila, spustila bi krila.
And I heard the sound of their wings, as the sound of many waters, as the sound of the Almighty, when they went, the sound of a storm as the sound of a host, —when they stood, they let down their wings,
25 Sa svoda nad njihovim glavama čula se grmljavina.
And there was a voice above the expanse that was over their head, —when they stood, they let down their wings.
26 Ispod svoda nad njihovim glavama bijaše nešto kao kamen safir, poput prijestolja: na tom kao prijestolju, gore na njemu, kao neki čovjek.
And above the expanse that was over their heads, as the appearance of a sapphire stone, was the likeness of a throne, —and upon the likeness of a throne, was a likeness as the appearance of a man upon it above.
27 I vidjeh kao sjajnu kovinu, iznutra i uokolo kao oganj; od njegovih bokova naviše i od njegovih bokova naniže nešto poput ognja i blijeska na sve strane.
And I saw as burnished copper to look upon, as the appearance of fire within it round about, from the appearance of his loins and upwards and from the appearance of his loins and downwards, saw I as the appearance of fire, and he had brightness round about:
28 Taj blijesak na sve strane bijaše poput duge što se za kišnih dana javlja u oblaku. To bijaše nešto kao slava Jahvina. Vidjeh, padoh ničice i čuh glas koji mi govoraše.
as the appearance of the bow which is in a cloud on a day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about, that was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Yahweh, and when I saw, I fell upon my face, and heard a voice of one speaking.
