Ezekiel 1
1 Now it came about in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, while I was by the river Chebar among those who had been made prisoners, that the heavens were made open and I saw visions of God.
| كَانَ فِي سَنَةِ ٱلثَّلَاثِينَ، فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلرَّابِعِ، فِي ٱلْخَامِسِ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ، وَأَنَا بَيْنَ ٱلْمَسْبِيِّينَ عِنْدَ نَهْرِ خَابُورَ، أَنَّ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ ٱنْفَتَحَتْ، فَرَأَيْتُ رُؤَى ٱللهِ. | ١ |
2 On the fifth day of the month, in the fifth year after King Jehoiachin had been made a prisoner,
| فِي ٱلْخَامِسِ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ، وَهِيَ ٱلسَّنَةُ ٱلْخَامِسَةُ مِنْ سَبْيِ يُويَاكِينَ ٱلْمَلِكِ، | ٢ |
3 The word of the Lord came to me, Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldaeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the Lord was on me there.
| صَارَ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى حِزْقِيَالَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ ٱبْنِ بُوزِي فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ عِنْدَ نَهْرِ خَابُورَ. وَكَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ هُنَاكَ يَدُ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٣ |
4 And, looking, I saw a storm-wind coming out of the north, a great cloud with flames of fire coming after one another, and a bright light shining round about it and in the heart of it was something coloured like electrum.
| فَنَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا بِرِيحٍ عَاصِفَةٍ جَاءَتْ مِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ. سَحَابَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ وَنَارٌ مُتَوَاصِلَةٌ وَحَوْلَهَا لَمَعَانٌ، وَمِنْ وَسْطِهَا كَمَنْظَرِ ٱلنُّحَاسِ ٱللَّامِعِ مِنْ وَسْطِ ٱلنَّارِ. | ٤ |
5 And in the heart of it were the forms of four living beings. And this was what they were like; they had the form of a man.
| وَمِنْ وَسْطِهَا شِبْهُ أَرْبَعَةِ حَيَوَانَاتٍ. وَهَذَا مَنْظَرُهَا: لَهَا شِبْهُ إِنْسَانٍ. | ٥ |
6 And every one had four faces, and every one of them had four wings.
| وَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ أَرْبَعَةُ أَوْجُهٍ، وَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ أَرْبَعَةُ أَجْنِحَةٍ. | ٦ |
7 And their feet were straight feet; and the under sides of their feet were like the feet of oxen; and they were shining like polished brass.
| وَأَرْجُلُهَا أَرْجُلٌ قَائِمَةٌ، وَأَقْدَامُ أَرْجُلِهَا كَقَدَمِ رِجْلِ ٱلْعِجْلِ، وَبَارِقَةٌ كَمَنْظَرِ ٱلنُّحَاسِ ٱلْمَصْقُولِ. | ٧ |
8 And they had the hands of a man under their wings; the four of them had faces on their four sides.
| وَأَيْدِي إِنْسَانٍ تَحْتَ أَجْنِحَتِهَا عَلَى جَوَانِبِهَا ٱلْأَرْبَعَةِ. وَوُجُوهُهَا وَأَجْنِحَتُهَا لِجَوَانِبِهَا ٱلْأَرْبَعَةِ. | ٨ |
9 They went without turning, every one went straight forward.
| وَأَجْنِحَتُهَا مُتَّصِلَةٌ ٱلْوَاحِدُ بِأَخِيهِ. لَمْ تَدُرْ عِنْدَ سَيْرِهَا. كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ يَسِيرُ إِلَى جِهَةِ وَجْهِهِ. | ٩ |
10 As for the form of their faces, they had the face of a man, and the four of them had the face of a lion on the right side, and the four of them had the face of an ox on the left side, and the four of them had the face of an eagle.
| أَمَّا شِبْهُ وُجُوهِهَا فَوَجْهُ إِنْسَانٍ وَوَجْهُ أَسَدٍ لِلْيَمِينِ لِأَرْبَعَتِهَا، وَوَجْهُ ثَوْرٍ مِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ لِأَرْبَعَتِهَا، وَوَجْهُ نَسْرٍ لِأَرْبَعَتِهَا. | ١٠ |
11 And their wings were separate at the top; two of the wings of every one were joined one to another, and two were covering their bodies.
| فَهَذِهِ أَوْجُهُهَا. أَمَّا أَجْنِحَتُهَا فَمَبْسُوطَةٌ مِنْ فَوْقُ. لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ ٱثْنَانِ مُتَّصِلَانِ أَحَدُهُمَا بِأَخِيهِ، وَٱثْنَانِ يُغَطِّيَانِ أَجْسَامَهَا. | ١١ |
12 Every one of them went straight forward; wherever the spirit was to go they went; they went on without turning.
| وَكُلُّ وَاحِدٍ كَانَ يَسِيرُ إِلَى جِهَةِ وَجْهِهِ. إِلَى حَيْثُ تَكُونُ ٱلرُّوحُ لِتَسِيرَ تَسِيرُ. لَمْ تَدُرْ عِنْدَ سَيْرِهَا. | ١٢ |
13 And between the living beings it was like burning coals of fire, as if flames were going one after the other between the living beings; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went thunder-flames.
| أَمَّا شِبْهُ ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتِ فَمَنْظَرُهَا كَجَمْرِ نَارٍ مُتَّقِدَةٍ، كَمَنْظَرِ مَصَابِيحَ هِيَ سَالِكَةٌ بَيْنَ ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتِ. وَلِلنَّارِ لَمَعَانٌ، وَمِنَ ٱلنَّارِ كَانَ يَخْرُجُ بَرْقٌ. | ١٣ |
14 And the living beings went out and came back as quickly as a thunder-flame.
| ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتُ رَاكِضَةٌ وَرَاجِعَةٌ كَمَنْظَرِ ٱلْبَرْقِ. | ١٤ |
15 Now while I was looking at the four living beings, I saw one wheel on the earth, by the side of the living beings, for the four of them.
| فَنَظَرْتُ ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتِ وَإِذَا بَكَرَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ بِجَانِبِ ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتِ بِأَوْجُهِهَا ٱلْأَرْبَعَةِ. | ١٥ |
16 The form of the wheels and their work was like a beryl; the four of them had the same form and design, and they were like a wheel inside a wheel.
| مَنْظَرُ ٱلْبَكَرَاتِ وَصَنْعَتُهَا كَمَنْظَرِ ٱلزَّبَرْجَدِ. وَلِلْأَرْبَعِ شَكْلٌ وَاحِدٌ، وَمَنْظَرُهَا وَصَنْعَتُهَا كَأَنَّهَا كَانَتْ بَكَرَةً وَسْطِ بَكَرَةٍ. | ١٦ |
17 The four of them went straight forward without turning to one side.
| لَمَّا سَارَتْ، سَارَتْ عَلَى جَوَانِبِهَا ٱلْأَرْبَعَةِ. لَمْ تَدُرْ عِنْدَ سَيْرِهَا. | ١٧ |
18 And I saw that they had edges, and their edges, even of the four, were full of eyes round about.
| أَمَّا أُطُرُهَا فَعَالِيَةٌ وَمُخِيفَةٌ. وَأُطُرُهَا مَلْآنَةٌ عُيُونًا حَوَالَيْهَا لِلْأَرْبَعِ. | ١٨ |
19 And when the living beings went on, the wheels went by their side; and when the living beings were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.
| فَإِذَا سَارَتِ ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتُ، سَارَتِ ٱلْبَكَرَاتُ بِجَانِبِهَا، وَإِذَا ٱرْتَفَعَتِ ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتُ عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱرْتَفَعَتِ ٱلْبَكَرَاتُ. | ١٩ |
20 Wherever the spirit was to go they went; and the wheels were lifted up by their side: for the spirit of the living beings was in the wheels.
| إِلَى حَيْثُ تَكُونُ ٱلرُّوحُ لِتَسِيرَ يَسِيرُونَ، إِلَى حَيْثُ ٱلرُّوحُ لِتَسِيرَ وَٱلْبَكَرَاتُ تَرْتَفِعُ مَعَهَا، لِأَنَّ رُوحَ ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتِ كَانَتْ فِي ٱلْبَكَرَاتِ. | ٢٠ |
21 When these went on, the others went; and when these came to rest, the others came to rest; and when these were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up by their side: for the spirit of the living beings was in the wheels.
| فَإِذَا سَارَتْ تِلْكَ سَارَتْ هَذِهِ، وَإِذَا وَقَفَتْ تِلْكَ وَقَفَتْ. وَإِذَا ٱرْتَفَعَتْ تِلْكَ عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱرْتَفَعَتِ ٱلْبَكَرَاتُ مَعَهَا، لِأَنَّ رُوحَ ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتِ كَانَتْ فِي ٱلْبَكَرَاتِ. | ٢١ |
22 And over the heads of the living beings there was the form of an arch, looking like ice, stretched out over their heads on high.
| وَعَلَى رُؤُوسِ ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتِ شِبْهُ مُقَبَّبٍ كَمَنْظَرِ ٱلْبِلَّوْرِ ٱلْهَائِلِ مُنْتَشِرًا عَلَى رُؤُوسِهَا مِنْ فَوْقُ. | ٢٢ |
23 Under the arch their wings were straight, one stretched out to another: every one had two wings covering their bodies on this side and two covering their bodies on that side.
| وَتَحْتَ ٱلْمُقَبَّبِ أَجْنِحَتُهَا مُسْتَقِيمَةٌ ٱلْوَاحِدُ نَحْوَ أَخِيهِ. لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ ٱثْنَانِ يُغَطِّيَانِ مِنْ هُنَا، وَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ ٱثْنَانِ يُغَطِّيَانِ مِنْ هُنَاكَ أَجْسَامَهَا. | ٢٣ |
24 And when they went, the sound of their wings was like the sound of great waters to my ears, like the voice of the Ruler of all, a sound like the rushing of an army: when they came to rest they let down their wings.
| فَلَمَّا سَارَتْ سَمِعْتُ صَوْتَ أَجْنِحَتِهَا كَخَرِيرِ مِيَاهٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، كَصَوْتِ ٱلْقَدِيرِ. صَوْتَ ضَجَّةٍ، كَصَوْتِ جَيْشٍ. وَلَمَّا وَقَفَتْ أَرْخَتْ أَجْنِحَتَهَا. | ٢٤ |
25 And there was a voice from the top of the arch which was over their heads: when they came to rest they let down their wings.
| فَكَانَ صَوْتٌ مِنْ فَوْقِ ٱلْمُقَبَّبِ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى رُؤُوسِهَا. إِذَا وَقَفَتْ أَرْخَتْ أَجْنِحَتَهَا. | ٢٥ |
26 And on the top of the arch which was over their heads was the form of a king's seat, like a sapphire stone; and on the form of the seat was the form of a man seated on it on high.
| وَفَوْقَ ٱلْمُقَبَّبِ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى رُؤُوسِهَا شِبْهُ عَرْشٍ كَمَنْظَرِ حَجَرِ ٱلْعَقِيقِ ٱلْأَزْرَقِ، وَعَلَى شِبْهِ ٱلْعَرْشِ شِبْهٌ كَمَنْظَرِ إِنْسَانٍ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ فَوْقُ. | ٢٦ |
27 And I saw it coloured like electrum, with the look of fire in it and round it, going up from what seemed to be the middle of his body; and going down from what seemed to be the middle of his body I saw what was like fire, and there was a bright light shining round him.
| وَرَأَيْتُ مِثْلَ مَنْظَرِ ٱلنُّحَاسِ ٱللَّامِعِ كَمَنْظَرِ نَارٍ دَاخِلَهُ مِنْ حَوْلِهِ، مِنْ مَنْظَرِ حَقْوَيْهِ إِلَى فَوْقُ، وَمِنْ مَنْظَرِ حَقْوَيْهِ إِلَى تَحْتُ، رَأَيْتُ مِثْلَ مَنْظَرِ نَارٍ وَلَهَا لَمَعَانٌ مِنْ حَوْلِهَا. | ٢٧ |
28 Like the bow in the cloud on a day of rain, so was the light shining round him. And this is what the glory of the Lord was like. And when I saw it I went down on my face, and the voice of one talking came to my ears.
| كَمَنْظَرِ ٱلْقَوْسِ ٱلَّتِي فِي ٱلسَّحَابِ يَوْمَ مَطَرٍ، هَكَذَا مَنْظَرُ ٱللَّمَعَانِ مِنْ حَوْلِهِ. هَذَا مَنْظَرُ شِبْهِ مَجْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ. وَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُهُ خَرَرْتُ عَلَى وَجْهِي، وَسَمِعْتُ صَوْتَ مُتَكَلِّمٍ. | ٢٨ |
