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.
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 E odiechiengʼ mar abich mar dweno, kane ruoth Jehoyakin osetieko higni abich e twech,
On the fifth of the month, that was 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.
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 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,
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 to ei majno ne nitie gimoro machalo gi gik mangima angʼwen. E nenruokgi ne gin gi kido machalo dhano,
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 to moro ka moro kuomgi ne nigi lela wangʼ angʼwen, kod bwombe angʼwen.
and four faces each, and four wings each, had they;
7 Tiendegi ne oriere tir, to pat tiendegi ne chalo ombongʼ nyaroya, kendo ngʼangʼni ka mula moywe maler.
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 E bwo bwombegi, e bethegi angʼwen, ne gin gi lwedo mag dhano. Kargi duto angʼwen ne gin gi lela wenge kod bwombe,
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 kendo ne gitudore moro gi moro gi bwombegi. Moro ka moro ne huyo kochomo nyime tir; ne ok gilokre ka gidhi.
joined to each other, were their wings, —they turned not when they went, each one straight before him, did they go;
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 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 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.
and their wings were spread above, — two of each joined one another, 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 each one straight before him, did they go, —whithersoever the spirit was minded to go, they went, they turned not 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.
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 Gik mangimago ne ringo matek koni gi koni mana ka mil polo.
And the living ones ran and returned, —like the appearance of 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.
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 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 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 Kane gisudo to neginyalo luwo yore angʼwen mane gik mangimago ochomo, ka ok tiendegi obayo yorego.
Upon their four sides, when they went, so did they go, —they turned 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.
As for their rings, they were so high that they were terrible, -and their rings full of eyes round about, had they four.
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 ones went, the wheels went beside them, —and when the living ones 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 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 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 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 Ewi gik mangimago ne nitie gimoro machalo gima opedhore mane nyilni ka pe, kendo malich.
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 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 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 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 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 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 above the expanse that was over their head, —when they stood, they 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 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 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 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 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 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.
