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.
Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
2 E odiechiengʼ mar abich mar dweno, kane ruoth Jehoyakin osetieko higni abich e twech,
On the fifth day of the month, in the fifth year of the captivity of King Jehoiachin,
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 Jehovah came to Ezekiel, the son of Buzi, the priest, in the land of the Chaldaeans, by the river Chebar; and the hand of Jehovah was there upon 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 behold, a stormy wind came from the north, a great cloud, and a mass of fire; and a brightness was round about it, and in the midst of it the appearance of bright brass, in the midst of the fire.
5 to ei majno ne nitie gimoro machalo gi gik mangima angʼwen. E nenruokgi ne gin gi kido machalo dhano,
And in the midst of it were the forms of four living creatures. And this was their appearance. They had the form of a man.
6 to moro ka moro kuomgi ne nigi lela wangʼ angʼwen, kod bwombe angʼwen.
And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings.
7 Tiendegi ne oriere tir, to pat tiendegi ne chalo ombongʼ nyaroya, kendo ngʼangʼni ka mula moywe maler.
And their feet were upright; and the sole of their feet was as the sole of a calf's foot; and they sparkled like polished brass.
8 E bwo bwombegi, e bethegi angʼwen, ne gin gi lwedo mag dhano. Kargi duto angʼwen ne gin gi lela wenge kod bwombe,
And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides, and all four had faces and wings.
9 kendo ne gitudore moro gi moro gi bwombegi. Moro ka moro ne huyo kochomo nyime tir; ne ok gilokre ka gidhi.
Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not about when they went; they went every one straight 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.
As for the form of their faces, all four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion on the right side, and all four had the face of an ox on the left side, and all four had also 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. And their wings were expanded upward; two wings of every one were joined, and two covered 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 they went every one straight forward; whither the spirit was to go, they went, and they turned not about when they went.
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.
And the appearance of the living creatures was as coals of fire, burning like torches; and the fire moved about among the living creatures, and shone forth brightly; and out of the fire came forth lightning.
14 Gik mangimago ne ringo matek koni gi koni mana ka mil polo.
And the living creatures ran backward and forward like a flash of 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.
Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold, there stood a wheel upon the earth by each of the living creatures, with its four sides.
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 appearance of the wheels, and their work, was like that of a chrysolite, and all four had one form, and their appearance and their work was as if a wheel had been within a wheel.
17 Kane gisudo to neginyalo luwo yore angʼwen mane gik mangimago ochomo, ka ok tiendegi obayo yorego.
When they went, they went upon their four sides, and they turned not about when they went.
18 Gik momako tiendegigo ne dongo mamiyo ji hum, kendo kargi angʼwen negipongʼ gi wenge e bethegi alwora koni gi koni.
As for their felloes, they were high and terrible; and their felloes were full of eyes round about upon all four of them.
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 living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.
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.
Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, whithersoever the spirit was to go; and the wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
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 those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
22 Ewi gik mangimago ne nitie gimoro machalo gima opedhore mane nyilni ka pe, kendo malich.
And over the heads of the living creatures was the appearance of a firmament, like crystal, terrible, spread out over their heads above.
23 E bwo gima opedhoreno, bwombegi ne oyarore ka moro ka moro ochomo nyawadgi, kendo ka moro ka moro nigi bwombene moumogo dende.
And under the firmament were their wings upright, the one toward the other; and every one had two, which covered his body.
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 I heard the sound of their wings, as the sound of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, when they went, —a sound like the noise of a host. And when they stood still, they let down 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 voice from the firmament, that was over their heads; and they stood still, and let down 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 above the firmament over their heads was an appearance like a sapphire-stone, the form of a throne; and upon the form of the throne there was a form like that of a man above.
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 saw what had the appearance of bright brass, what had the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins and upward. And from the appearance of his loins downward I saw what had the appearance of fire, and its brightness was round about him.
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 appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the glory of Jehovah. And when I saw it I fell upon my face, and I heard the voice of one who spoke.
