Ezekiel 1
1 Og det skete i det tredivte Aar, i den fjerde Maaned, paa den femte Dag i Maaneden, da jeg var midt iblandt de bortførte ved Floden Kebar, at Himlene aabnedes, og jeg saa Syner fra Gud.
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 Paa den femte Dag i Maaneden (det var i det femte Aar, efter at Kong Jojakin var bortført),
In the fifth of the month—it is the fifth year of the expulsion of King Jehoiachin—
3 da kom Herrens Ord til Præsten Ezekiel, Busis Søn, i Kaldæernes Land, ved Floden Kebar; og Herrens Haand kom over ham der.
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 Og jeg saa, og se, der kom et Stormvejr af Norden, en stor Sky og Ild, som slyngede sig sammen, og med en Glans trindt omkring; og midt ud af den var der som et Syn af glødende Malm, midt ud af Ilden.
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 Og midt ud af den saas en Skikkelse af fire levende Væsener, og dette var deres Udseende: De havde et Menneskes Skikkelse.
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 Og ethvert af dem havde fire Ansigter og ethvert fire Vinger.
and each had four faces and each of them had four wings,
7 Og deres Ben vare lige Ben, og deres Bens Fod var som en Kalvefod, og de vare skinnende som blankt Kobber at se til.
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 Og der var Menneskehænder under deres Vinger, paa deres fire Sider, og de havde alle fire deres Ansigter og deres Vinger.
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 Deres Vinger vare sammensluttede, den ene til den anden; de vendte sig ikke, naar de gik, de gik hver lige frem for sig.
their wings [are] joining to one another, they do not turn around in their going, they each go straight forward.
10 Og deres Ansigt lignede et Menneskes Ansigt, og en Løves Ansigt havde alle fire til højre, og en Okses Ansigt havde alle fire til venstre, og en Ørns Ansigt havde alle fire.
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 Og deres Ansigter og deres Vinger vare oventil adskilte; paa hver vare tvende sammensluttende, den ene til den anden, og tvende skjulte deres Kroppe.
And their faces and their wings dividing from above, of each [are] two joining together, and two are covering their bodies.
12 Og de gik hver lige frem for sig; hvorhen Aanden vilde gaa, gik de, de vendte sig ikke, naar de gik.
And they each go straight forward, to where the Spirit is to go, they go, they do not turn around in their going.
13 Og hvad de levende Væseners Skikkelse angaar, da var deres Udseende som glødende Kul, der brænde som Blus, at se til; Ilden for hid og did imellem de levende Væsener; og den skinnede, og der udgik Lyn af Ilden.
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 Og de levende Væsener løb frem og tilbage som Lynglimt at se til.
And the living creatures are running, and turning back, as the appearance of the flash.
15 Og jeg saa de levende Væsener, og se, der var et Hjul paa Jorden hos ethvert af de levende, imod de fire Sider.
And I see the living creatures, and behold, one wheel [is] in the earth, near the living creatures, at its four faces.
16 Hjulenes Udseende og Arbejdet paa dem var som Synet af en Krysolit, og alle fire vare efter een Skikkelse; og deres Udseende og Arbejdet paa dem var, som om et Hjul var i det andet.
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 Naar de skulde gaa, gik de imod deres fire Sider; de vendte sig ikke, naar de gik.
On their four sides, in their going they go, they do not turn around in their going.
18 Og de havde Fælger, høje og frygtelige, og deres Fælger vare fulde af Øjne trindt omkring paa dem alle fire.
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 Og naar de levende Væsener gik, gik Hjulene hos dem; og naar de levende hævede sig op fra Jorden, hævede Hjulene sig.
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 Hvorhen Aanden vilde gaa, gik de — derhen vilde Aanden gaa; og Hjulene hævede sig op ved Siden af dem; thi Livets Aand var i Hjulene.
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 Naar de gik, gik disse, og naar de stode, stode disse; og naar de hævede sig op fra Jorden, hævede Hjulene sig ved Siden af dem; thi Livets Aand var i Hjulene.
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 Og over Hovederne af de levende Væsener var der som en udstrakt Befæstning, af Udseende som blændende Krystal, den var udbredt oven over deres Hoveder.
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 Og under den udstrakte Befæstning vare deres Vinger strakte lige ud, den ene imod den anden; ethvert af dem her havde to til at dække, og ethvert af dem der havde to til at dække deres Kroppe.
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 Og jeg hørte deres Vingers Lyd som en Lyd af store Vande som Lyden af den Almægtige, naar de gik, et Bulders Lyd som Lyden af en Hær; naar de stode stille, lode de deres Vinger synke.
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 Og der hørtes en Lyd over den udstrakte Befæstning, som var over deres Hoved; naar de stede stille, lode de deres Vinger synke.
And there is a voice from above the expanse, that [is] above their head: in their standing they let their wings fall.
26 Og over den udstrakte Befæstning, som var over deres Hoved, var der en Skikkelse af en Trone, der saa ud som Safir, og over Tronens Skikkelse var der atter en Skikkelse som et Menneske at se til, der ovenover.
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 Og jeg saa som et Syn af gloende Malm, som Udseendet af Ild indadtil, trindt omkring; fra hans Lænder at se til og opad, og fra hans Lænder at se til og nedad, saa jeg som Udseendet af Ild, med en Glans trindt der omkring.
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 Som Udseendet af Regnbuen, naar den er i Skyen paa Regnens Dag, saaledes var Udseendet af Glansen trindt omkring; dette var Udseendet af Herrens Herligheds Skikkelse; og jeg saa det, og jeg faldt ned paa mit Ansigt og hørte en Røst, som talte.
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.
