Ezekiel 1
1 And it happened that, in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth of the month, when I was in the midst of the captives beside the river Chebar, the heavens were opened, and I saw the visions of God.
Alò, li te vin rive nan trèzyèm ane, sou senkyèm jou a Katriyèm mwa a, pandan mwen te akote rivyè Kebar a, pami egzile yo, ke syèl yo te louvri, e mwen te wè vizyon a Bondye.
2 On the fifth of the month, the same is the fifth year of the transmigration of king Joachin,
(Sou senkyèm jou nan mwa a, nan senkyèm ane egzil a Wa Jojakin nan,
3 the word of the Lord came to Ezekiel, a priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans, next to the river Chebar. And the hand of the Lord was over him there.
Pawòl SENYÈ a te rive eksprè a Ézéchiel, prèt la, fis a Buzi, nan peyi Kaldeyen yo akote rivyè Kebar a; epi la, men SENYÈ a te vini sou li.)
4 And I saw, and behold, a whirlwind arrived from the north. And a great cloud, wrapped in fire and brightness, was all around it. And from its midst, that is, from the midst of the fire, there was something with the appearance of amber.
Pandan mwen t ap gade, men gade byen, yon van tanpèt te vini soti nan nò, yon gwo nwaj ak loraj ki t ap tire san rete; yon limyè byen klere te antoure l e nan mitan l, yon bagay tankou metal ki klere nan mitan dife a.
5 And in its midst, there was the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: the likeness of a man was in them.
Anndan li, te gen fòm ki te sanble kat kreyati vivan. Men ki jan yo te parèt: yo te gen yon fòm tankou moun.
6 Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings.
Yo chak te gen kat figi ak kat zèl.
7 Their feet were straight feet, and the sole of their foot was like the sole of the foot of a calf, and they sparkled with the appearance of glowing brass.
Janm yo te dwat, pye yo te tankou zago jenn bèf, e yo te klere tankou bwonz poli.
8 And they had the hands of a man under their wings on the four sides. And they had faces with the wings on the four sides.
Anba zèl yo, nan kat kote yo, te gen men a moun. Yo kat te gen figi ak zèl yo konsa:
9 And their wings were joined to one another. They did not turn as they went. Instead, each one advanced before his face.
Zèl pa yo te jwente youn lòt. Yo pa t vire lè yo te deplase. Yo chak te ale tou dwat devan.
10 But as for the likeness of their face, there was the face of a man, and the face of a lion on the right of each of the four, then the face of an ox on the left of each of the four, and the face of an eagle above each of the four.
Pou fòm a figi yo a, yo chak te gen figi tankou a yon moun. Toule kat te gen figi a yon lyon adwat, figi a yon towo agoch, e toule kat te gen figi a yon èg.
11 Their faces and their wings were extended above: two wings of each one were joined together, and two covered their bodies.
Se konsa figi yo te ye. Zèl yo te ouvri anlè. Yo chak te gen de ki te touche a yon lòt kreyati e de ki te kouvri kò yo.
12 And each one of them advanced before his face. Wherever the impetus of the spirit was to go, there they went. And they did not turn as they advanced.
Epi yo chak te ale tou dwat devan. Nenpòt kote lespri a te prèt pou ale, yo ta ale, san menm vire pandan yo t ap prale a.
13 And as for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like that of burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps. This was the vision dashing in the midst of the living creatures, a bright fire, with lightning going forth from the fire.
Nan mitan kreyati vivan yo, te gen yon bagay ki te sanble ak chabon dife, tankou tòch ki t ap file fè ale retou pami kreyati vivan yo. Dife a te klere e loray te vòltije soti nan dife a.
14 And the living creatures went and returned like flashes of lightning.
Epi kreyati vivan yo te kouri fè ale retou tankou kout loray.
15 And as I beheld the living creatures, there appeared above the earth, next to the living creatures, one wheel having four faces.
Alò, pandan mwen t ap gade kreyati vivan yo, gade byen, te gen yon wou sou tè a akote kreyati vivan yo, pou chak nan kat fas de yo.
16 And the appearance of the wheels and their work was like the appearance of the sea. And each of the four were similar to one another. And their appearance and work was like a wheel in the center of a wheel.
Wou yo te sanble, jan yo te fèt la, tankou yon wòch krizolit briyan. E toule kat te gen menm fòm. Nan aparans la, jan yo fè l la, yo te fèt konsi yon wou te anndan yon lòt wou.
17 Going forth, they went by means of their four parts. And they did not turn as they went.
Nenpòt lè yo deplase, yo te deplase nan nenpòt nan kat direksyon yo, san menm vire pandan yo t ap deplase a.
18 Also, the size and height and appearance of the wheels was dreadful. And the entire body was full of eyes all around each of the four.
Wotè a wou yo te tèlman wo. Yo te etonan. Arebò toule kat te plen ak zye toutotou l nèt.
19 And when the living creatures advanced, the wheels advanced together with them. And when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels, too, were lifted up at the same time.
Nenpòt lè kreyati vivan yo te deplase, wou yo te deplase avèk yo. Epi nenpòt lè kreyati vivan yo te leve kite tè a, wou yo te leve tou.
20 Wherever the spirit went, as the spirit was going forth to that place, the wheels, too, were lifted up together, so as to follow them. For the spirit of life was in the wheels.
Nenpòt kote lespri a te prèt pou ale, yo ta ale nan direksyon sa a. Epi wou yo te leve toupre bò kote yo; paske lespri a kreyati vivan yo te nan wou yo.
21 When going forth, they went forth, and when standing still, they stood still. And when they were lifted up from the earth, the wheels, too, were lifted up together, so as to follow them. For the spirit of life was in the wheels.
Nenpòt kote sa yo te ale, sila yo te ale tou. Lè sa yo te kanpe an plas, sila yo te kanpe an plas tou. Epi nenpòt lè sa yo te monte kite tè a, wou yo te leve toupre bò kote yo; paske lespri a kreyati vivan yo te nan wou yo.
22 And above the heads of the living creatures was the likeness of a firmament: similar to crystal, but dreadful to behold, and extending over their heads from above.
Alò, anwo tèt a kreyati vivan yo, te gen yon bagay tankou yon gwo espas, tankou yon briyans mèvèy kon kristal, ki te ouvri byen laj sou tèt yo.
23 And their wings were straight under the firmament, one toward the other. One of them was covered by two wings on his body, and the other was covered similarly.
Anba gwo espas la, zèl yo te lonje dwat, youn anvè lòt. Yo chak te gen de zèl ki te kouvri kò l tou, youn yon kote e youn yon lòt kote.
24 And I heard the sound of their wings, like the sound of many waters, like the sound of the sublime God. When they walked, it was like the sound of a multitude, like the sound of an army. And when they stood still, their wings were let down.
Anplis, mwen te tande son a zèl yo tankou son anpil gwo dlo pandan yo t ap prale, tankou vwa a Toupwisan an, yon son a gwo boulvèsman, tankou son a yon lame ki nan kan li. Nenpòt lè yo sispann fè mouvman, yo lage desann zèl yo.
25 For when a voice came from above the firmament, which was over their heads, they stood still, and they put down their wings.
Konsa, te sòti yon vwa depi anwo gran espas lan ki te sou tèt pa yo. Nenpòt lè yo te sispann fè mouvman, yo te lage desann zèl yo.
26 And above the firmament, which was suspended over their heads, there was the likeness of a throne, with the appearance of the sapphire stone. And over the likeness of the throne, there was a likeness with the appearance of a man above it.
Alò, anwo gwo espas ki te anwo tèt yo a, te gen yon bagay ki te sanble ak yon twòn, tankou yon pyè safì nan aparans. Epi sou sa ki te sanble a yon twòn nan, byen wo, te gen yon fòm ak aparans a yon nonm.
27 And I saw something with the appearance of amber, with the likeness of fire within it and all around it. And from his waist and upward, and from his waist downward, I saw something with the appearance of fire shining all around.
Sa mwen te wè, te soti nan aparans a ren Li ak piwo, yon bagay tankou metal klere ki te sanble dife toutotou anndan l. Soti nan aparans a ren Li e piba, mwen te wè yon bagay tankou dife, epi te gen yon ekla limyè ki te antoure Li.
28 There was the appearance of the rainbow, as when it is in a cloud on a rainy day. This was the appearance of the splendor on every side.
Menm jan ak aparans a lakansyèl nan nwaj yo nan jou l ap fè lapli, konsa aparans a ekla limyè ki te antoure li a te ye. Konsa aparans a imaj a glwa a SENYÈ a te ye. Lè m te wè l, mwen te tonbe sou figi mwen, e mwen te tande yon vwa ki t ap pale.
