Jezekiel 1
1 Now it came to pass in the thirties 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.
Pripetilo se je torej v tridesetem letu, v četrtem mesecu, na peti dan meseca, ko sem bil med ujetniki pri reki Kebár, da so se odprla nebesa in zagledal sem Božja videnja.
2 On the fifth day of the month; this was the fifth year of the captivity of king Joakim.
Na peti dan meseca, kar je bilo peto leto ujetništva kralja Jojahína,
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.
je prišla Gospodova beseda izrecno k duhovniku Ezekielu, Buzijevemu sinu, v deželi Kaldejcev, pri reki Kebár in tam je bila nad njim Gospodova roka.
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.
Pogledal sem in glej, vrtinčast veter je prišel iz severa, velik oblak in ogenj ga je obsegal in okoli njega je bil sijaj in iz njegove srede kakor jantarjeva barva ven iz srede ognja.
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.
Prav tako je iz njegove srede prišla podobnost štirih živih ustvarjenih bitij. In to je bil njihov videz; imela so podobnost človeka.
6 And each one [had] four faces, and each one [had] four wings.
Vsako je imelo štiri obraze in vsako je imelo štiri peruti.
7 And their legs were straight; and their feet were winged, and [there were] sparks, like gleaming brass, and their wings were light.
Njihova stopala so bila ravna stopala in podplat njihovih stopal je bil podoben telečjemu kopitu, in lesketala so se podobno barvi zloščenega brona.
8 And the hand of a man was under their wings on their four sides.
Pod svojimi perutmi, na svojih štirih straneh, so imela človeške roke in ta štiri so imela svoje obraze in svoje peruti.
9 And the faces of them four turned not when they went; they went everyone straight forward.
Njihove peruti so bile pridružene druga k drugi; niso se obračala, ko so hodila; šla so vsaka naravnost naprej.
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.
Kar zadeva podobnost njihovih obrazov, ta štiri so imela človeški obraz in obraz leva na desni strani in ta štiri so imela obraz vola na levi strani; ta štiri so imela tudi obraz orla.
11 And the four had their wings spread out above; each one [had] two joined to one another, and two covered their bodies.
Takšni so bili njihovi obrazi. Njihove peruti so bile iztegnjene navzgor; dve peruti vsakega sta bili pridruženi druga k drugi, dve pa sta pokrivali njihova telesa.
12 And each one went straight forward: wherever the spirit was going they went, and turned not back.
Hodila so vsako naravnost naprej. Kamor naj bi šel duh, [tja] so šla, in niso se obračala, ko so hodila.
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 amongst the living creatures; and the brightness of fire, and out of the fire came forth lightning.
Kar se tiče podobnosti živih ustvarjenih bitij, je bil njihov videz podoben gorečemu ognjenemu oglju in podoben videzu svetilk. Ta je šel gor in dol med živimi ustvarjenimi bitji in ogenj je bil svetel in iz ognja se je dvigovalo bliskanje.
Živa ustvarjena bitja so tekala in se vračala kakor videz bliska strele.
15 And I looked, and, behold, the four [had each] one wheel on the ground near the living creatures.
Medtem ko sem gledal živa ustvarjena bitja, sem na zemlji zagledal eno kolo poleg živih ustvarjenih bitij, z njegovimi štirimi obrazi.
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.
Videz koles in njihovo delo je bilo podobno barvi berila. Ta štiri so imela eno podobnost, in njihov videz in njihovo delo je bilo, kakor bi bilo kolo v sredi kolesa.
17 They went on their four sides: they turned not as they went;
Ko so hodila, so hodila na svoje štiri strani, in ko so hodila, se niso obračala.
18 neither did their backs [turn]: and they were high: and I saw them, and the backs of them four were full of eyes round about.
Kar se tiče njihovih platišč, so bila tako visoka, da so bila grozna, in njihova platišča so bila polna oči naokoli teh štirih.
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.
Ko so živa ustvarjena bitja hodila, so poleg njih šla kolesa. In ko so bila živa ustvarjena bitja dvignjena z zemlje, so bila dvignjena kolesa.
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.
Kamor naj bi šel duh, so šla, tja naj bi šel njihov duh, in kolesa so bila dvignjena nasproti njih, kajti v kolesih je bil duh živega ustvarjenega bitja.
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.
Ko so tista šla, so šla ta; in ko so tista stala, so stala ta; in ko so bila tista dvignjena z zemlje, so bila kolesa dvignjena nasproti njih, kajti v kolesih je bil duh živega ustvarjenega bitja.
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.
Podobnost nebesnega svoda nad glavami živega ustvarjenega bitja je bila kakor barva strašnega kristala, razprostrtega zgoraj, nad njihovimi glavami.
23 And their wings were spread out under the firmament, reaching one to the other; two [wings] to each, covering their bodies.
Pod nebesnim svodom so bile njihove peruti ravne druga proti drugi. Vsako je imelo dve, ki sta pokrili na tej strani in vsako je imelo dve, ki sta pokrili na oni strani njihovih teles.
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.
In ko so hodila, sem slišal šum njihovih peruti, podoben hrumenju velikih vodá, kakor glas Vsemogočnega, glas govora kakor hrup vojske. Ko so stala, so svoje peruti povesila.
25 And behold! a voice from above the firmament
Bil je glas izpod nebesnega svoda, ki je bil nad njihovimi glavami, ko so stala in spustila svoje peruti.
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.
Nad nebesnim svodom, ki je bil nad njihovimi glavami, je bila podobnost prestola, kakor videz kamna safira. Na podobnosti prestola je bila podobnost kakor videz človeka nad njim.
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.
Videl sem kakor barvo jantarja, kakor videz ognja okrog in okrog znotraj njega, od videza njegovih ledij navzgor in celo od videza njegovih ledij navzdol sem videl, kakor bi bil videz ognja in ta je imel sijaj vsenaokrog.
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.
Kakor videz mavrice, ki je na oblaku na deževen dan, takšen je bil videz sijaja naokoli. To je bil videz podobnosti Gospodove slave. Ko sem to zagledal, sem padel na svoj obraz in slišal glas nekoga, ki je spregovoril.
