< 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.
Godine tridesete, mjeseca èetvrtoga, petoga dana, kad bijah meðu robljem na rijeci Hevaru, otvoriše se nebesa, i vidjeh utvare Božje.
2 On the fifth of the month, the same is the fifth year of the transmigration of king Joachin,
Petoga dana toga mjeseca, pete godine otkako se zarobi car Joahin,
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.
Doðe rijeè Gospodnja Jezekilju sinu Vuzijevu, svešteniku, u zemlji Haldejskoj na rijeci Hevaru, i ondje doðe ruka Gospodnja nada nj.
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.
I vidjeh, i gle, silan vjetar dolažaše od sjevera, i velik oblak i oganj koji se razgorijevaše, i oko njega svjetlost, a isred ognja kao jaka svjetlost;
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.
Isred njega još kao èetiri životinje, koje na oèi bijahu nalik na èovjeka;
6 Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings.
I u svake bijahu èetiri lica, i èetiri krila u svake;
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.
I noge im bijahu prave, a u stopalu bijahu im noge kao u teleta; i sijevahu kao uglaðena mjed.
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.
I ruke im bijahu èovjeèije pod krilima nad èetiri strane, i lica im i krila bijahu na èetiri strane.
9 And their wings were joined to one another. They did not turn as they went. Instead, each one advanced before his face.
Sastavljena im bijahu krila jedno s drugim; i ne okretahu se iduæi, nego svaka iðaše naprema se.
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.
I lice bijaše u sve èetiri lice èovjeèije i lice lavovo s desne strane, a s lijeve strane lice volujsko i lice orlovo u sve èetiri.
11 Their faces and their wings were extended above: two wings of each one were joined together, and two covered their bodies.
I lica im i krila bijahu razdijeljena ozgo; u svake se dva krila sastavljahu jedno s drugim, a dva pokrivahu im tijelo.
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.
I svaka iðaše pravo naprema se; iðahu kuda duh iðaše, i ne okretahu se iduæi.
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.
I na oèi bijahu te životinje kao živo ugljevlje, gorahu na oèi kao svijeæe; taj oganj prolažaše izmeðu životinja i svijetljaše se, i iz ognja izlažaše munja.
14 And the living creatures went and returned like flashes of lightning.
I životinje trèahu i vraæahu se kao munja.
15 And as I beheld the living creatures, there appeared above the earth, next to the living creatures, one wheel having four faces.
I kad gledah životinje, gle, toèak jedan bijaše na zemlji uza svaku životinju prema èetiri lica njihova.
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.
Oblièjem i napravom bijahu toèkovi kao boje hrisolitove, i sva èetiri bijahu jednaka, i oblièjem i napravom bijahu kao da je jedan toèak u drugom.
17 Going forth, they went by means of their four parts. And they did not turn as they went.
Kad iðahu, iðahu sva èetiri svaki na svoju stranu, i iduæi ne skretahu.
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.
I naplaci im bijahu visoki strahota; i bijahu naplaci puni oèiju unaokolo u sva èetiri.
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.
I kad iðahu životinje, iðahu i toèkovi uz njih; i kad se životinje podizahu od zemlje, podizahu se i toèkovi.
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.
Kuda duh iðaše, onamo iðahu, i podizahu se toèkovi prema njima, jer duh životinjski bješe u toèkovima.
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.
Kad one iðahu, iðahu i oni; i kad one stajahu, stajahu i oni; i kad se one podizahu od zemlje, podizahu se i toèkovi prema njima, jer duh životinjski bješe u toèkovima.
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 nad glavama životinjama bijaše kao nebo, po viðenju kao kristal, strašno, razastrto ozgo nad glavama njihovijem.
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 pod tijem nebom bijahu im krila pružena, jedno prema drugom, a dva krila svakoj pokrivahu tijelo.
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.
I èujah huku krila njihovijeh kad iðahu kao da bješe huka velike vode, kao glas svemoguæega i kao graja u okolu; i kad stajahu, spuštahu krila.
25 For when a voice came from above the firmament, which was over their heads, they stood still, and they put down their wings.
I kad stavši spuštahu krila, èujaše se glas ozgo iz neba, koje bijaše nad glavama njihovijem.
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.
I ozgo na onom nebu što im bijaše nad glavama, bijaše kao prijesto, po viðenju kao kamen safir, i na prijestolu bijaše po oblièju kao èovjek.
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.
I vidjeh kao jaku svjetlost, i u njoj unutra kao oganj naokolo, od bedara gore, a od bedara dolje vidjeh kao oganj i svjetlost oko njega.
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.
Kao duga u oblaku kad je kiša, taka na oèi bijaše svjetlost unaokolo. To bijaše viðenje slave Božje na oèima; i kad vidjeh, padoh na lice svoje, i èuh glas nekoga koji govoraše.
