Jezekiel 1
1 Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, that I was in the midst of the captivity by the river of Chobar; and the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
EIA keia, i ke kanakolu o ka makahiki, i ka malama ha, i ka la alima o ka mahina, e noho ana au iwaena o ka poe pio ma ka muliwai o Kebara, hamama mai la ka lani, a ike aku la au i na hihio o ke Akua.
2 On the fifth day of the month; this was the fifth year of the captivity of king Joakim.
I ka la alima o ka malama, oia ka lima o ka makahiki o ke pio ana o ke alii o Iehoiakima,
3 And the word of the Lord came to Jezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans, by the river of Chobar; and the hand of the Lord was upon me.
Hiki maopopo mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia Ezekiela ke keiki a Buzi i ke kahuna ma ka aina o Kaledea, ma ka muliwai Kebara; a malaila i kau mai ai ka lima o Iehova maluna iho ona.
4 And I looked, and, behold, a sweeping wind came from the north, and a great cloud on it, and [there was] brightness round about it, and gleaming fire, and in the midst of it as it were the appearance of amber in the midst of the fire, and brightness in it.
Nana aku la an, aia hoi he puahiohio e hele mai ana mai ke kukulu akau mai, he ao nui, a me ke ahi e pakaawili ana ia ia iho, he olinolino a puui ia, a mai waenakonu ona e like i ka nana aku rae ke keleawe olinolino mai loko mai o ke ahi.
5 And in the midst as it were the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; the likeness of a man was upon them.
A mai waenakonu mai ona ka like ana o na mea ola eha: eia ko lakou ano, he ano like me ko ke kanaka ko lakou.
6 And each one [had] four faces, and each one [had] four wings.
Papaha ko lakou mau helehelena, a papaha ko lakou mau eheu.
7 And their legs were straight; and their feet were winged, and [there were] sparks, like gleaming brass, and their wings were light.
O ko lakou mau wawae, he mau wawae pololei, a o ka manea o ko lakou mau wawae, ua like ia me ka manea o ka wawae o ke keiki bipi: olinolino mai la lakou e like me ke keleawe i hoohualiia i ka nana aku.
8 And the hand of a man was under their wings on their four sides.
He mau lima kanaka ko lakou malalo iho o ko lakou mau eheu, ma na aoao eha; no lakou hoi ko lakou mau helehelena a me ko lakou mau eheu.
9 And the faces of them four turned not when they went; they went everyone straight forward.
O ko lakou mau eheu ua hui pu kekahi me kekahi; aole i haliu ae i ko lakou hele ana, hele pololei lakou kela mea keia mea mamua.
10 And the likeness of their faces was the face of a man, and the face of a lion on the right of the four; and the face of a calf on the left of the four; and the face of an eagle to the four.
A o ka like ana o ko lakou mau helehelena, he helehelena no ke kanaka a me ka helehelena o ka liona ko lakou a eha ma ka aoao akau, a me ka helehelena o ka bipikauo ma ka aoao hema; a o ka helehelena o ka aeto ko lakou a eha.
11 And the four had their wings spread out above; each one [had] two joined to one another, and two covered their bodies.
Pela ko lakou mau helehelena; a kikoo aku ko lakou mau eheu maluna; ua hui na eheu elua o kela mea keia mea, a ua uhi na eheu elua i ko lakou mau kino.
12 And each one went straight forward: wherever the spirit was going they went, and turned not back.
Hele pololei ae lakou mamua kela mea keia mea: ma kahi e hele ai ka uhane, malaila lakou i hele ai: aole lakou i haliu ae i ko lakou hele ana.
13 And in the midst of the living creatures [there was] an appearance as of burning coals of fire, as an appearance of lamps turning among the living creatures; and the brightness of fire, and out of the fire came forth lightning.
A o ka helehelena like ana o na mea ola, ua like ko lakou ano i ka nana aku me na lanahu ahi e a ana, a me na ipukukui; hele ia iwaena o na mea ola; olinolino ke ahi, a mailoko aku o ke ahi i puka ai ka uwila.
A holo aku la na mea ola a hoi mai la me he anapu ana la o ka uwila i ka nana aku.
15 And I looked, and, behold, the four [had each] one wheel on the ground near the living creatures.
A i ko'u nana ana'ku i na mea ola, aia hoi, o ka huila hookahi ma ka honua e pili ana i na mea ola, me kona mau aoao eha.
16 And the appearance of the wheels was as the appearance of beryl: and the four had one likeness: and their work was as it were a wheel in a wheel.
O ke ano o na huila, a me ko lakou hanaia'na ua like me ka topasa i ka nana aku, hookahi ano ko lakou eha: a o ko lakou ano i ka nana aku a me ko lakou hanaia'na, me he huila la iloko o kekahi huila.
17 They went on their four sides: they turned not as they went;
I ko lakou hele ana, hele lakou ma ko lakou mau aoao eha, aole i haliu ae i ko lakou hele ana.
18 neither did their backs [turn]: and they were high: and I beheld them, and the backs of them four were full of eyes round about.
A o ko lakou mau apo, ua kiekie lakou he mea weliweli, a ua paapu ko lakou mau apo i na maka, a puni lakou a eha.
19 And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures lifted themselves off the earth, the wheels were lifted off.
A hele na mea ola, hele pu ae la na huila ma ka pili o lakou, a kaikaiia'ku na mea ola mai ka honua aku, kaikaiia aku no hoi na huila.
20 Wherever the cloud happened to be, there was the spirit ready to go: the wheels went and were lifted up with them; because the spirit of life was in the wheels.
Aia ma kahi e hele ai ka uhane, malaila lakou i hele ai, malaila e hele ai ka uhane, ua kaikai pu ia na huila me lakou; no ka mea, maloko o na hulla ka uhane o ka mea ola.
21 When those went, [the wheels] went; and when those stood, [the wheels] stood; and when those lifted themselves off the earth, they were lifted off with them: for the spirit of life was in the wheels.
A hele kela mau mea, hele hoi keia mau mea, a ku kela mau mea, ku no hoi keia mau mea; a i ka wa i kaikaiia'ku kela mau mea mai ka honua aku, alaila kaikai pu ia na huila me lakou, no ka mea, maloko o na huila ka uhane o ka mea ola.
22 And the likeness over the heads of the living creatures was as a firmament, as the appearance of crystal, spread out over their wings above.
A o ka like ana o ka lani maluna o na poo o na mea ola ua like ia i ka nana aku me ke aniani weliweli, i hoholaia maluna o ko lakou mau poo iluna.
23 And their wings were spread out under the firmament, reaching one to the other; two [wings] to each, covering their bodies.
A malalo ae o ka lani, pololei no ko lakou mau eheu ku pono kekahi i kekahi; elua ko kekahi me ko kekahi i uhi ma keia aoao, a elua hoi ko kekahi me ko kekahi i uhi ma kela aoao o ko lakou mau kino.
24 And I heard the sound of their wings when they went, as the sound of much water: and when they stood, their wings were let down.
A i ko lakou helo ana, lohe aku la au i ka halulu ana o ko lakou mau eheu e like me ka halulu ana o na wai he nui no, me he leo la o ka Mea mana loa; ka leo o ka halulu e like me ka leo o ka puali kaua; a ku lakou, kuu iho la lakou i ko lakou mau eheu ilalo.
25 And lo! a voice from above the firmament
A he leo no mai ka lani mai iluna o ko lakou mau poo, i ka wa i ku ai lakou, a ua kuu iho ko lakou mau eheu.
26 that was over their head, [there was] as the appearance of a sapphire stone, [and] the likeness of a throne upon it: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as an appearance of a man above.
A maluna o ka lani iluna o ko lakou mau poo, he mea like me ka nohoalii, me he pohaku sapire la i ka nana aku; a maluna o ka mea like me ka nohoalii, he mea like me ke kanaka maluna iho ona i ka nana aku.
27 And I saw as it were the resemblance of amber from the appearance of the loins and upwards, and from the appearance of the loins and under I saw an appearance of fire, and the brightness thereof round about.
A ike aku la au i ka mea like me ke keleawe olinolino, i ka nana aku, e like me ke ahi i ka nana aku a puni iloko, mai ka ikea ana o kona puhaka, a maluna aku, a mai ka ikea ana o kona puhaku ilalo, ike aku la au i ka mea like me ke ahi i ka nana aku, a he olinolino kona a puni.
28 As the appearance of the bow when it is in the cloud in days of rain, so was the form of brightness round about.
E like me ke ano o ke anuenue iloko o ke ao i ka la ua, pela ke ano o ka olinolino a puni i ka nana aku. Oia ka mea ikeia o ke ano o ka nani o Iehova. A ike au, moe iho la au ilalo ke alo, a lohe au i ka leo o kekahi e olelo ana:
