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 cometh to pass, in the thirtieth year, in the fourth [month], in the fifth of the month, and I [am] in the midst of the Removed 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 removal of the 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.
hath the word of Jehovah certainly been unto 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 Jehovah.
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 lo, a tempestuous wind is coming from the north, a great cloud, and fire catching itself, and brightness to it round about, and out of its midst as the colour of copper, 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 four faces [are] to each, and four wings [are] to each of them,
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 colour of bright brass;
8 Og der var Menneskehænder under deres Vinger, paa deres fire Sider, og de havde alle fire deres Ansigter og deres Vinger.
and hands of man under their wings — on their four sides, and their faces and their wings — [are] to them four;
9 Deres Vinger vare sammensluttede, den ene til den anden; de vendte sig ikke, naar de gik, de gik hver lige frem for sig.
joining one unto another [are] their wings, they turn not round in their going, each straight forward they go.
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 to the likeness of their faces, the face of a man, and the face of a lion, toward the right [are] to them four, and the face of an ox on the left [are] to them four, and the face of an eagle [are] to them four.
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 are separate from above, to 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 each straight forward they go, whither the spirit is to go, they go, they turn not round 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 to 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 out of the fire is going forth lightning.
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 lo, 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 colour of beryl, and one likeness [is] to them four, 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 turn not round 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 to their rings, they are both high and fearful, and their rings [are] full of eyes round about them four.
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, lifted up are the wheels.
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.
Whither the spirit is to go, they go, thither the spirit [is] to go, and the wheels are lifted up over-against 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, lifted up are the wheels over-against 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 a likeness [is] over the heads of the living creatures of an expanse, as the colour 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 the other, to each are two covering on this side, and to each are two covering on that side — 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 fall their wings.
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 fall their wings.
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 upon 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 colour of copper, as the appearance of fire within it round about, 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] to it round about.
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 round about.
