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.
Nan senkyèm jou, katriyèm mwa nan trantyèm lanne an, mwen menm Ezekyèl, mwen t'ap viv ansanm ak moun yo te depòte yo, bò larivyè Keba nan peyi Babilòn. Jou sa a, syèl la louvri devan je m', mwen wè Bondye nan yon vizyon.
2 On the fifth day of the month, in the fifth year after King Jehoiachin had been made a prisoner,
Wa Jojakin te gen senkan depi yo te depòte l'.
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.
Antan Ezekyèl, pitit Bouzi, yon prèt Bondye, te la bò larivyè Keba nan peyi Babilòn, li tande Seyè a pale avè l'. Li santi pouvwa Seyè a sou li.
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.
Mwen leve je m' gade, mwen wè yon gwo van tanpèt k'ap vini soti nan nò. Zèklè t'ap fè yanyan nan yon gwo nwaj. Syèl la te klere tout arebò nwaj la. Nan mitan nwaj la menm kote zèklè yo t'ap fèt la, te gen yon limyè ki te klere tankou kristal.
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.
Nan mitan van an, mwen wè kat bèt, ou ta di kat moun.
6 And every one had four faces, and every one of them had four wings.
Yo chak te gen kat figi ak kat zèl.
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.
Janm yo te byen dwat, men pye yo te tankou zago bèf. Yo te klere tankou kwiv poli.
8 And they had the hands of a man under their wings; the four of them had faces on their four sides.
Anba chak zèl te gen yon men moun. Konsa, yo chak te gen kat zèl, kat figi, kat men, yonn nan chak direksyon.
9 They went without turning, every one went straight forward.
De nan zèl yo te louvri nèt. Bèt yo menm te fè yon kare, pwent zèl yo kontre yonn ak lòt. Lè y'ap mache, yo deplase ansanm nan menm direksyon, san vire kò yo.
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.
Chak bèt te gen kat figi: yon figi moun sou devan, yon figi lyon sou bò dwat, yon figi bèf sou bò gòch ak yon figi malfini sou dèyè.
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.
Chak bèt te louvri de nan zèl yo, yo leve yo jouk pwent zèl yo kontre ak pwent zèl bèt ki te bò kote yo a. Yo te kouvri kò yo ak de lòt zèl yo.
12 Every one of them went straight forward; wherever the spirit was to go they went; they went on without turning.
Chak bèt t'ap gade nan tout kat direksyon yo. Konsa, yo te kapab mache ansanm pou y' ale kote Lespri Bondye a pouse yo ale a, san yo pa t' bezwen vire kò yo.
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.
Nan mitan bèt yo ou ta di yon gwo boukan dife ak gwo flanm tankou flanm bwa chandèl tou limen ki t'ap ale vini. Dife a te klere anpil, te gen zèklè ki t'ap soti ladan l'.
14 And the living beings went out and came back as quickly as a thunder-flame.
Bèt yo menm t'ap kouri ale vini byen vit tankou zèklè.
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.
Mwen t'ap gade bèt yo, mwen wè kat wou k'ap woule atè, yonn bò yo chak.
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.
Tout wou yo te parèy, yo te klere tankou wòch krizolit. Ou ta di yo chak gen yon lòt wou menm gwosè pase an travè ladan yo,
17 The four of them went straight forward without turning to one side.
paske wou yo te ka woule nan direksyon kat pwen konpa yo san yo pa t' bezwen vire.
18 And I saw that they had edges, and their edges, even of the four, were full of eyes round about.
Jant wou yo te byen gwo. Yo te kouvri ak je sou tout kò yo.
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.
Chak fwa bèt yo deplase, wou yo deplase tou ansanm ak yo. Si yo leve anlè, wou yo leve anlè tou.
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.
Bèt yo ale kote pou yo ale a. Wou yo fè tou sa bèt yo fè, paske se bèt yo ki t'ap kontwole wou yo.
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.
Bèt yo vanse, wou yo vanse tou. Bèt yo rete, wou yo rete tou. Bèt yo leve anlè, wou yo leve anlè tou, paske se bèt yo ki t'ap kontwole wou yo.
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.
Anwo tèt bèt yo, te gen yon bagay won an fòm yon gwo bòl bouch anba, ki te klere tankou kristal.
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.
Se anba gwo bòl la bèt yo te kanpe ak de zèl louvri ak pwent yo kontre ak pwent zèl bèt ki bò kote yo a. De lòt zèl yo te fèmen kouvri kò yo.
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.
Lè bèt yo t'ap vole, mwen tande zèl yo t'ap fè yon bri. Ou ta di bri lanmè a lè li move, osinon bri vwa Seyè a lè l'ap pale, oswa bri yon gwo lame. Lè yo sispann vole, yo kite zèl yo pandye.
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.
Men ou te ka tande yon ti bri ki t'ap fèt anwo bòl kristal ki te anlè tèt yo a.
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.
Anwo bòl kristal ki te anlè tèt yo a, te gen yon bagay, ou ta di yon gwo fotèy fèt an wòch safi. Sou fotèy la, yon fòm te chita ou ta di yon moun.
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.
Depi nan ren l' moute, li te klere nan je m' tankou kwiv yo poli. Depi nan ren l' desann, ou ta di li te nan mitan yon gwo dife ki te klere tout kote l' te ye a.
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.
Li te nan mitan yon limyè tout koulè tankou lakansyèl yon jou lapli. Gwo bèl limyè sa a te fè m' konprann se Seyè a ki te parèt devan m'. Lè mwen wè sa, mwen tonbe sou de jenou m', tèt mwen bese jouk atè. Lèfini mwen tande yon vwa moun k'ap pale.
