< 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.
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 of the month, the same is the fifth year of the transmigration of king Joachin,
I ka la alima o ka malama, oia ka lima o ka makahiki o ke pio ana o ke alii o Iehoiakima,
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.
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 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.
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 its midst, there was the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: the likeness of a man was in 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 Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings.
Papaha ko lakou mau helehelena, a papaha ko lakou mau eheu.
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.
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 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.
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 their wings were joined to one another. They did not turn as they went. Instead, each one advanced before his face.
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 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.
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 Their faces and their wings were extended above: two wings of each one were joined together, 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 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.
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 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.
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.
14 And the living creatures went and returned like flashes of lightning.
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 as I beheld the living creatures, there appeared above the earth, next to the living creatures, one wheel having four faces.
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 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.
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 Going forth, they went by means of their four parts. And they did not turn 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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, 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.
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 For when a voice came from above the firmament, which was over their heads, they stood still, and they put down their wings.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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:
