Ezekiel 1
1 E higa mar piero adek, e dwe mar angʼwen, e odiechiengʼ mar abich, kane an kod joma ni e twech e bath Aora mar Kebar, polo ne oyawore mi naneno fweny moa kuom Nyasaye.
It came to passe in the thirtieth yere in the fourth moneth, and in the fift day of the moneth (as I was among the captiues by the riuer Chebar) that the heauens were opened and I sawe visions of GOD.
2 E odiechiengʼ mar abich mar dweno, kane ruoth Jehoyakin osetieko higni abich e twech,
In the fift day of the moneth (which was the fift yere of King Ioiachins captiuitie)
3 wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ne Ezekiel jadolo, ma wuod Buzi, ka en piny Babulon e bath Aora Kebar, e piny jo-Babulon. Kanyo ema bad Jehova Nyasaye nobetie kuome.
The word of the Lord came vnto Ezekiel the Priest, the sonne of Buzi, in the lande of the Caldeans, by the riuer Chebar, where the hande of the Lord was vpon him.
4 Nangʼicho mi naneno kodh yamo kabiro koa yo nyandwat. Nobiro gi bor polo mangʼongo gi mil polo mapiachore kendo maler maduongʼ olworo koni gi koni. Chuny majno ne chalo gi chuma maliet,
And I looked, and beholde, a whirlewinde came out of the North, a great cloude and a fire wrapped about it, and a brightnesse was about it, and in the middes thereof, to wit, in the middes of the fire came out as the likenesse of amber.
5 to ei majno ne nitie gimoro machalo gi gik mangima angʼwen. E nenruokgi ne gin gi kido machalo dhano,
Also out of the middes therof came the likenesse of foure beastes, and this was their forme: they had the appearance of a man.
6 to moro ka moro kuomgi ne nigi lela wangʼ angʼwen, kod bwombe angʼwen.
And euery one had foure faces, and euery one had foure wings.
7 Tiendegi ne oriere tir, to pat tiendegi ne chalo ombongʼ nyaroya, kendo ngʼangʼni ka mula moywe maler.
And their feete were streight feete, and the sole of their feete was like the sole of a calues foote, and they sparkled like the appearance of bright brasse.
8 E bwo bwombegi, e bethegi angʼwen, ne gin gi lwedo mag dhano. Kargi duto angʼwen ne gin gi lela wenge kod bwombe,
And the handes of a man came out from vnder their wings in the foure parts of them, and they foure had their faces, and their wings.
9 kendo ne gitudore moro gi moro gi bwombegi. Moro ka moro ne huyo kochomo nyime tir; ne ok gilokre ka gidhi.
They where ioyned by their wings one to another, and when they went forth, they returned not, but euery one went streight forward.
10 Lela wangʼe ne chal kama: Kargi angʼwen moro ka moro ne nigi lela wangʼ mar dhano, to e bethegi korachwich, moro ka moro ne nigi lela wangʼ mar sibuor, to e bethegi koracham ne gin gi lela wangʼ mar rwath. Giduto ne gin gi lela wangʼ mar ongo.
And the similitude of their faces was as the face of a man: and they foure had the face of a lyon on the right side, and they foure had the face of a bullocke on the left side: they foure also had the face of an eagle.
11 Kamano e kaka lela wangʼe ne chalo. Bwombegi noyarore kochomo malo, to moro ka moro ne nigi bwombe ariyo, kendo bwomb ka bwomb nomakore gi bwomb gima ochwe machielo e bathe koni gi koni, kod bwombe ariyo mamoko moumogo dende.
Thus were their faces: but their wings were spred out aboue: two wings of euery one were ioined one to another, and two couered their bodies.
12 Moro ka moro ne huyo kochomo nyime tir. Kamoro amora mane Roho mar Nyasaye dhiye ema gin bende negidhiye ma ok gilokre ka gingʼiyo chien.
And euery one went streight forward: they went whither their spirit led them, and they returned not when they went forth.
13 Nenruok mag gik mangimago ne chalo gi mach mar makaa kata toje maliel. Mach ne wuok e nyim gik mangimago karingo koni gi koni, ne en mach mangʼangʼni kendo polo bende ne mil e iye.
The similitude also of the beasts, and their appearance was like burning coles of fire, and like the appearance of lampes: for the fire ran among the beastes, and the fire gaue a glister, and out of the fire there went lightning.
14 Gik mangimago ne ringo matek koni gi koni mana ka mil polo.
And the beastes ranne, and returned like vnto lightning.
15 Kane arango gik mangimago maber, naneno tiend gari moro piny e lowo e bath moro ka moro kuomgi man-gi lela wenge angʼwen.
Nowe as I behelde the beastes, beholde, a wheele appeared vpon the earth by the beastes, hauing foure faces.
16 Ma e kaka nenruok mar tiende garigo ne chalo kod kaka nolosgi. Ne gimil ka kit ombo marieny, kendo kargi angʼwen-go duto ne ginenore machalre. Moro ka moro kuomgi ne nenore ka gima olos machal gi tiend gari mochungʼ ariwa ewi tiend gari machielo.
The facion of the wheeles and their worke was like vnto a chrysolite: and they foure had one forme, and their facion, and their worke was as one wheele in another wheele.
17 Kane gisudo to neginyalo luwo yore angʼwen mane gik mangimago ochomo, ka ok tiendegi obayo yorego.
Whe they went, they went vpon their foure sides, and they returned not when they went.
18 Gik momako tiendegigo ne dongo mamiyo ji hum, kendo kargi angʼwen negipongʼ gi wenge e bethegi alwora koni gi koni.
They had also rings, and height, and were fearefull to beholde, and their rings were full of eyes, round about them foure.
19 Ka gik mangimago ne sudo, to tiende mane ni bathgi bende ne sudo, kendo kane gik mangimago aa malo, to tiendego bende ne aa malo.
And when the beastes went, the wheeles went with them: and when the beasts were lift vp from the earth, the wheeles were lift vp.
20 Kamoro amora mane Roho mar Nyasaye dhiye, gin bende negidhiye, kendo tiende bende ne aa dhi kodgi, nikech chuny gik mangima ne ni e tiendego.
Whither the spirit led them, they went, and thither did the spirite of the wheeles leade them, and the wheeles were lifted vp besides them: for the spirit of the beastes was in the wheeles.
21 Kane gik mangimago ochungʼ kar tiendgi; to gin bende negichungʼ kar tiendgi, kendo kane gik mangimago aa malo, to tiende garigo bende ne aa malo kodgi, nikech roho mar gik mangimago ne ni e tiendegi.
When the beastes went, they went, and when they stoode, they stoode, and when they were lifted vp from the earth, the wheeles were lifted vp besides them: for the spirite of the beastes was in the wheeles.
22 Ewi gik mangimago ne nitie gimoro machalo gima opedhore mane nyilni ka pe, kendo malich.
And the similitude of the firmament vpon the heads of the beasts was wonderfull, like vnto chrystall, spred ouer their heads aboue.
23 E bwo gima opedhoreno, bwombegi ne oyarore ka moro ka moro ochomo nyawadgi, kendo ka moro ka moro nigi bwombene moumogo dende.
And vnder the firmament were their wings streight, the one toward the other: every one had two, which couered the, and euery one had two, which couered their bodies.
24 Ka gik mangimago ne sudo, ne awinjo ka bwombegi kwadhore, ka chalo gi mor mar pi mamol matek, kata gi dwond Jal Maratego, kata gi mahu mar jolweny. Kane gichungʼ gi tiendgi, to bwombegi ne lor piny.
And when they went foorth, I heard the noyse of their wings, like the noyse of great waters, and as the voyce of the Almightie, euen the voyce of speach, as the noyse of an host: and when they stood, they let downe their wings.
25 Eka dwol moro nobiro koa ewi gima opedhore mane ni e wigi, kane oyudo gichungʼ to bwombegi ne lor piny.
And there was a voyce from the firmament, that was ouer their heads, when they stoode, and had let downe their wings.
26 To ewi gima opedhore mane ni e wigino ne nitie gimoro machalo gi kom duongʼ molosi gi kidi ma nengone tek miluongo ni safir, kendo malo kanyo e kom duongʼno, gimoro nobetie machalo dhano.
And aboue the firmament that was ouer their heads, was the facion of a throne like vnto a saphir stone, and vpon the similitude of the throne was by appearance, as the similitude of a man aboue vpon it.
27 Chakre e nungone kadhi malo naneno kochalo gi mula maliet molut e mach kendo chakre e nungone kadhi piny nochalo gi mach kendo ler mangʼangʼni nolwore.
And I sawe as the appearance of amber, and as the similitude of fire round about within it to looke to, euen from his loynes vpwarde: and to looke to, euen from his loynes downewarde, I sawe as a likenesse of fire, and brightnesse round about it.
28 Duongʼ maler mane olworeno ne chalo gi lihudu manie boche polo e odiechieng koth. Ma e kaka nenruok mar kit duongʼ mar Jehova Nyasaye ne chalo. Kane anene, napodho ka lela wangʼa ochomo piny, kendo nawinjo dwond ngʼat ma wuoyo.
As the likenesse of the bowe, that is in the cloude in the day of raine, so was the appearance of the light round about. This was the appearance of the similitude of the glorie of the Lord: and when I sawe it, I fell vpon my face, and I heard a voyce of one that spake.
