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.
第三十年四月の五日に我ケバル河の邊にてかの擄うつされたる者の中にをりしに天ひらけて我神の異象を見たり
2 On the fifth day of the month, in the fifth year after King Jehoiachin had been made a prisoner,
是ヱコニヤ王の擄ゆかれしより第五年のその月の五日なりき
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.
時にカルデヤ人の地に於てケバル河の邊にてヱホバの言祭司ブシの子エゼキエルに臨めりヱホバの手かしこにて彼の上にあり
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.
我見しに視よ烈き風大なる雲および燃る火の團塊北より出きたる又雲の周圍に輝光ありその中よりして火の中より熱たる金族のごときもの出づ
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.
其火の中に四箇の生物にて成る一箇の形あり其狀は是のごとし即ち人の象あり
6 And every one had four faces, and every one of them had four wings.
各四の面あり各四の翼あり
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.
その足は直なる足その足の跖は犢牛の足の跖のごとくにして磨ける銅のごとくに光れり
8 And they had the hands of a man under their wings; the four of them had faces on their four sides.
その生物の四方に翼の下に人の手ありこの四箇の物皆面と翼あり
9 They went without turning, every one went straight forward.
その翼はたがひに相つらなれりその往ときに回轉ずして各その面の向ふところに行く
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.
その面の形は人の面のごとし四箇の者右には獅子の面あり四箇の者左には牛の面あり又四箇の者鷲の面あり
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.
その面とその翼は上にて分るその各箇の翼二箇は彼と此と相つらなり二箇はその身を覆ふ
12 Every one of them went straight forward; wherever the spirit was to go they went; they went on without turning.
各箇その面の向ふところへ行き靈のゆかんとする方に行く又行にまはることなし
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.
その生物の形は爇る炭の火のごとく松明のごとし火生物の中に此彼に行き火輝きてその火の中より電光いづ
14 And the living beings went out and came back as quickly as a thunder-flame.
その生物奔りて電光の如くに往來す
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.
我生物を觀しに生物の近邊にあたりてその四箇の面の前に地の上に輪あり
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.
其輪の形と作は黄金色の玉のごとしその四箇の形は皆同じその形と作は輪の中に輪のあるがごとくなり
17 The four of them went straight forward without turning to one side.
その行く時は四方に行く行にまはることなし
18 And I saw that they had edges, and their edges, even of the four, were full of eyes round about.
その輪輞は高くして畏懼かり輪輞は四箇ともに皆遍く目あり
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.
生物の行く時は輪その傍に行き生物地をはなれて上る時は輪もまた上る
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.
凡て靈のゆかんとする所には生物その靈のゆかんとする方に往く輪またその傍に上る是生物の靈輪の中にあればなり
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.
此の行く時は彼もゆき此の止る時は彼も止り此地をはなれて上る時は輪も共にあがる是生物の靈輪の中にあればなり
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.
生物の首の上に畏しき水晶のごとき穹蒼ありてその首の上に展開る
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.
穹蒼の下に其翼直く開きて此と彼とあひ連る又各二箇の翼ありその各の二箇の翼此方彼方にありて身をおほふ
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.
我その行く時の羽聲を聞に大水の聲のごとく全能者の聲のごとし其聲音の響は軍勢の聲のごとしその立どまる時は翼を垂る
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.
その首の上なる穹蒼の上より聲ありその立どまる時は翼を垂る
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.
首の上なる穹蒼の上に靑玉のごとき寶位の狀式ありその寶位の狀式の上に人のごとき者在す、
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.
又われその中と周圍に磨きたる銅のごとく火のごとくなる者を見る其人の腰より上も腰より下も火のごとくに見ゆ其周圍に輝光あり
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.
その周圍の輝光は雨の日に雲にあらはるる虹のごとしヱホバの榮光かくのごとく見ゆ我これを見て俯伏したるに語る者の聲あるを聞く
