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.
E sucedeu que, aos trinta anos, no quarto [mês], aos cinco do mês, estando eu em meio dos exilados, junto ao rio Quebar, os céus se abriram, e vi visões de Deus.
2 On the fifth day of the month, in the fifth year after King Jehoiachin had been made a prisoner,
Aos cinco do mês, que foi no quinto ano do cativeiro do rei Joaquim,
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.
verdadeiramente veio a palavra do SENHOR ao sacerdote Ezequiel, filho de Buzi, na terra dos caldeus, junto ao rio Quebar; e ali a mão do SENHOR esteve sobre ele.
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.
Então olhei, e eis que um vento tempestuoso vinha do norte, uma grande nuvem, e um fogo incandescente, e ao seu redor um resplendor, e no meio do fogo uma coisa que parecia como de âmbar,
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.
E no meio dela havia a semelhança de quatro animais; e esta era sua aparência; eles tinham semelhança humana.
6 And every one had four faces, and every one of them had four wings.
E cada um tinha quatro rostos, e cada um quatro asas.
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.
E suas pernas eram retas, e a planta de seus pés como a planta de pé de bezerro; e reluziam como o bronze polido.
8 And they had the hands of a man under their wings; the four of them had faces on their four sides.
E [tinham] mãos humanas debaixo de suas asas, em seus quatro lados; [assim] os quatro [tinham] seus rostos e suas asas.
9 They went without turning, every one went straight forward.
Suas asas se juntavam umas às outras. Não viravam quando se moviam; cada um andava na direção de seu rosto.
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.
E a aparência de seus rostos era [como] rosto de homem; e rosto de leão à direita nos quatro; e à esquerda rosto de boi nos quatro; também havia nos quatro um rosto de águia;
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.
[Assim] eram seus rostos. E suas asas estavam estendidas por cima, cada um duas, as quais se juntavam; e as outras duas cobriam seus corpos.
12 Every one of them went straight forward; wherever the spirit was to go they went; they went on without turning.
E cada um se movia na direção de seu rosto; para onde o espírito se dirigia, eles iam; não viravam quando se moviam.
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.
Quanto à semelhança dos animais, sua aparência era como pedaços de carvão acesos, como aparência de tochas acesas; o fogo se movia entre os animais; e brilhava intensamente, e do fogo saíam relâmpagos.
14 And the living beings went out and came back as quickly as a thunder-flame.
E os animais corriam e voltavam, à semelhança de relâmpagos.
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.
E enquanto eu estava vendo os animais, eis que uma roda estava na terra junto aos animais, junto a seus quatro rostos.
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.
E a aparência das rodas, e sua feitura, era como da cor do berilo; e as quatro tinham uma mesma semelhança; sua aparência e sua obra era como se uma roda estivesse no meio de [outra] roda.
17 The four of them went straight forward without turning to one side.
Quando andavam, moviam-se sobre seus quatro lados; não viravam quando se moviam.
18 And I saw that they had edges, and their edges, even of the four, were full of eyes round about.
E seus aros eram altos e espantosos; e seus aros estavam cheios de olhos ao redor das quatro [rodas].
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.
E quando os animais andavam, as rodas andavam junto a eles: e quando os animais se levantavam da terra, levantavam-se [também] as rodas.
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.
Para onde o espírito queria ir, iam, para onde era o espírito ia; e as rodas [também] se levantavam com eles, pois o espírito dos animais estava nas rodas.
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.
Quando eles andavam, elas andavam; e quando eles paravam, elas paravam; e quando se levantavam da terra, as rodas se levantavam com eles; pois o espírito dos animais estava nas rodas.
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.
E sobre as cabeças dos animais havia algo semelhante a um firmamento, da cor de um cristal espantoso, estendido acima sobre suas cabeças.
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.
E debaixo do firmamento estavam suas asas deles estendidas uma à outra; a cada um tinha duas, e outras duas com que cobriam seus corpos.
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.
E ouvi o ruído de suas asas quando se moviam, como o som de muitas águas, como a voz do Onipotente, o ruído de uma multidão, como o som de um exército. Quando paravam, abaixavam suas asas.
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.
E quando se paravam e abaixavam suas asas, ouvia-se uma voz de cima do firmamento que estava sobre suas cabeças.
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.
E acima do firmamento que estava sobre suas cabeças, havia a figura de um trono, que parecia com a pedra de safira; e sobre a figura do trono havia uma semelhança que parecia com um homem sentado acima dele.
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.
E vi o que parecia com o bronze polido, com a aparência de fogo ao seu redor do lado de dentro, da aparência de sua cintura para cima; e de sua cintura para baixo, vi que parecia como fogo, e havia um resplendor ao redor dele;
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.
Tal como a aparência do arco celeste, que surge nas nuvens em dia de chuva, assim era o aparência do resplendor ao redor. Esta foi a visão da semelhança da glória do SENHOR. E quando eu a vi, caí sobre meu rosto, e ouvi voz de um que falava.
