< Ezekiel 1 >
1 Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, when I was in the midst of the captives by the river Chobar, the heavens were opened, and I saw the visions of God.
तिसौं वर्षको चौथो महिनाको पाँचौं दिनमा जब म निर्वासितसँग कबार नहरको किनारमा बसिरहँदा यस्तो भयो । आकाश खोलियो र मैले परमेश्वरका दर्शनहरू देखें ।
2 On the fifth day of the month, the same was the fifth year of the captivity of king Joachin,
त्यस महिनाको पाँचौं दिनमा— यहोयाकीन राजा निर्वासित भएको यो पाँचौं वर्ष थियो—
3 The word of the Lord came to Ezechiel the priest the son of Bud in the land of the Chaldeans, by the river Chobar: and the hand of the Lord was there upon him.
कल्दीहरूको देशमा कबार नहरको किनारमा परमप्रभुको वचन बूजीको छोरो इजकिएल पुजारीकहाँ आयो, र त्यहाँ परमप्रभुको हात तिनीमाथि थियो ।
4 And I saw, and behold a whirlwind came out of the north: and a great cloud, and a fire infolding it, and brightness was about it: and out of the midst thereof, that is, out of the midst of the fire, as it were the resemblance of amber:
तब मैले हेरें, र उत्तरबाट आँधीबेहरी आइरहेको थियो । एउटा विशाल बादल, बिजुलीको चमकसमेत, अनि त्यसको वरिपरि र भित्र चहकिलो उज्यालो थियो, र त्यस आगोको माझ जल्दो पहेंलो धातुझैं थियो ।
5 And in the midst thereof the likeness of four living creatures: and this was their appearance: there was the likeness of a man in them.
माझमा चार जीवित प्राणीहरूजस्ता थिए । तिनीहरूका स्वरूप यस्तो थियोः तिनीहरू मानिसको स्वरूपजस्ता थिए,
6 Every one had four faces, and every one four wings.
तर तिनीहरू हरेकका चारवटा मुहार थिए, र हरेकका प्राणीका चारवटा पखेटा थिए ।
7 Their feet were straight feet, and the sole of their foot was like the sole of a calf’s foot, and they sparkled like the appearance of glowing brass.
तिनीहरूका गोडा सीधा थिए, तर तिनीहरूका खुट्टा बाछाका खुरजस्ता थिए जो टल्काइराखेका काँसाजस्तै टल्कन्थे ।
8 And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides: and they bad faces, and wings on the four sides,
तापनि तिनीहरूका पखेटामुनि चारैतिर मानिसका हातहरू थिए । ती चारैका मुहार र पखेटाहरू यस्ता थिएः
9 And the wings of one were joined to the wings of another. They turned not when they went: but every one went straight forward.
एउटाको पखेटाले अर्काको पखेटालाई छोएको थियो, कतै जाँदा तिनीहरू फर्कंदैन थिए । बरु, हरेक सोझै अगाडि हिंड्थ्यो ।
10 And as for the likeness of their faces: there was the face of a man, and the face of a lion on the right side of all the four: and the face of an ox, on the left side of all the four: and the face of an eagle over all the four.
तिनीहरूका मुहार मानिसको झैं थियो । ती चारैको दाहिनेपट्टिको मुहार सिंहको जस्तो र देब्रेपट्टिको अनुहारचाहिं गोरुको जस्तो थियो । ती चारैवटाको चिलको जस्तो अनुहार पनि थियो ।
11 And their faces, and their wings were stretched upward: two wings of every one were joined, and two covered their bodies:
तिनीहरूका मुहार यस्तै थिए, र तिनीहरूका पखेटाचाहिं बाहिर मास्तिर फैलिएका थिए । हरेकका दुईवटा पखेटाले चाहिं एउटाले अर्काको पखेटालाई छोएका थिए, र दुईवटा पखेटाले आ-आफ्ना शरीर ढाकेका थिए ।
12 And every one of them went straight forward: whither the impulse of the spirit was to go, thither they went: and they turned not when they went.
तिनीहरू हरेक सोझै हिंड्थे, ताकि आत्माले जता-जता लग्यो तिनीहरू त्यतै जान्थे, तिनीहरू यताउता नफर्की हिंड्थे ।
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 running to and fro in the midst of the living creatures, a bright fire, and lightning going forth from the fire.
ती जीवित प्राणीहरूको आकृति जलिरहेको आगोको भुङ्ग्रोजस्तो, राँकोहरूजस्ता थिए । ती प्राणीहरूको बिचमा चम्किलो आगो यताउता जान्थ्यो, र त्यहाँ बिजुलीका चमकहरू थिए ।
14 And the living creatures ran and returned like flashes of lightning.
ती जीवित प्राणीहरू तिव्र गतिले अघि पछि जान्थे, र तिनीहरू बिजुलीको चमकजस्ता देखिन्थे ।
15 Now as I beheld the living creatures, there appeared upon the earth by the living creatures one wheel with four faces.
तब मैले ती जीवित प्राणीहरूलाई हेरें र ती चारै मुहार भएका हरेक प्राणीको छेउमा मैले जमिनमा एउटा पाङ्ग्रा देखें ।
16 And the appearance of the wheels, and the work of them was like the appearance of the sea: and the four had all one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the midst of a wheel.
ती पाङ्ग्राहरूका आकार र बनावट यस्ता थिएः हरेक पाङ्ग्रा पीतमणिजस्तै थिए, र ती चारैवटा उस्तै किसिमका थिए । एउटा पाङ्ग्रो अर्को पाङ्ग्रोमा खप्टिएको भएझैं थियो ।
17 When they went, they went by their four parts: and they turned not when they went.
जसै ती हलचल गर्थे, तब कतै नफर्की ती चारैतिर हिंड्थे ।
18 The wheels had also a size, and a height, and a dreadful appearance: and the whole body was full of eyes round about all the four.
तिनीहरूका घेरा अल्गा र डरलाग्दा थिए, किनकि ती चारै घेरा आँखाहरूले भरिएका थिए ।
19 And when the living creatures went, the wheels also went together by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels also were lifted up with them.
जब ती जीवित प्राणीहरू चलहल गर्थे, तब ती पाङ्ग्राहरू पनि साथसाथै हिंड्थे । जब ती जीवित प्राणीहरू जमिनबाट माथि उठ्थे, तब ती पाङ्ग्राहरू पनि उठ्थे ।
20 Whithersoever the spirit went, thither as the spirit went the wheels also were lifted up withal, and followed it: for the spirit of life was in the wheels.
आत्मा जता जानुहुन्थ्यो तिनीहरू त्यतै जान्थे, र ती पाङ्ग्राहरू पनि तिनीहरूसँगै उठ्थे, किनकि ती जीवित प्राणीहरूका आत्मा तिनै पाङ्ग्रामा थिए ।
21 When those went these went, and when those stood these stood, and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels also were lifted up together, and followed them: for the spirit of life was in the wheels.
जब ती प्राणीहरू चलहल गर्थे, तब पाङ्ग्राहरू पनि चलहल गर्थे । अनि जब ती प्राणीहरू ठिङ्ग उभिन्थे, तब ती पाङ्ग्राहरू पनि ठिङ्ग उभिन्थे । ती प्राणीहरू जमिनबाट उठ्दा यी पाङ्ग्रा पनि तिनीहरूसँगै उठेर जान्थे, किनभने ती जीवित प्राणीहरूका आत्मा ती पाङ्ग्रामा नै थिए ।
22 And over the heads of the living creatures was the likeness of the firmament, as the appearance of crystal terrible to behold, and stretched out over their heads above.
ती जीवित प्राणीहरूका शिरको मास्तिर विशाल अर्धगोलाकार क्षेत्रजस्तै थियो । त्यो तिनीहरूको शिरमाथिबाट फैलिएको भयावह स्फटिकझैं देखिन्थ्यो ।
23 And under the firmament were their wings straight, the one toward the other, every one with two wings covered his body, and the other was covered in like manner.
त्यो विशाल अर्धगोलाकार क्षेत्र मुन्तिर ती हरेक प्राणीका पखेटाहरू सोझै फैलिएका थिए र एउटाको पखेटाले अर्काको पखेटालाई छुन्थ्यो । हरेक जीवित प्राणीका आफूलाई ढाक्ने एकजोडी पखेटा थिए । हरेकसित आफूलाई ढाक्ने जोडी थियो ।
24 And I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of many waters, as it were the voice of the most high God: when they walked, it was like the voice of a multitude, like the noise of an army, and when they stood, their wings were let down.
तब मैले तिनीहरूका पखेटाको आवाज सुनें । त्यो आवाज धेरै पानीको हल्लाजस्तै थियो । जब तिनीहरू हलचल गर्थे, तब सर्वशक्तिमान्को आवाजजस्तो हुन्थ्यो । आँधीको वर्षाजस्तो थियो । सेनाको आवाजजस्तो थियो । जब तिनीहरू ठिङ्ग उभिन्थे, तब तिनीहरूले आफ्ना पखेटा तल झार्थे ।
25 For when a voice came from above the firmament, that was over their heads, they stood, and let down their wings.
जब तिनीहरू ठिङ्ग उभिए र आफ्ना पखेटा तल झारे, तब तिनीहरूका शिरहरू मास्तिरको विशाल अर्धगोलाकार क्षेत्रबाट एउटा आवाज आयो ।
26 And above the firmament that was over their heads, was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of the sapphire stone, and upon the likeness of the throne, was a likeness as of the appearance of a man above upon it.
तिनीहरू शिरमाथिका विशाल अर्धगोलाकार क्षेत्रमाथि एउटा सिंहासनजस्तो थियो जुन हेर्दा त्यो नीलमणीजस्तै देखिन्थ्यो, र त्यो सिंहासनजस्तोमा बस्नेको स्वरूप मानिसको जस्तो थियो ।
27 And I saw as it were the resemblance of amber as the appearance of fire within it round about: from his loins and upward, and from his loins downward, I saw as it were the resemblance of fire shining round about.
मैले उहाँको कम्मरदेखि मास्तिर जल्दो धातुजस्तै भएको एउटा आकृति देखें । उहाँको कम्मरदेखि मुन्तिरको आकृति पनि आगोजस्तै देखियो, र उहाँको वरिपरी चहकिलो उज्यालोले घेरिराखेको थियो ।
28 As the appearance of the rainbow when it is in a cloud on a rainy day: this was the appearance of the brightness round about.
उहाँको वरिपरीको चम्किलो उज्यालो पानी परेको दिन बादलमा देखिने इन्द्रेनीको आकारझैं उज्ज्वल थियो । त्यो परमप्रभुका महिमासँग मिल्दो दोखिन्थ्यो । जब मैले त्यो देखें तब म घोप्टो परें, र एउटा बोलिरहेको आवाज मैले सुनें ।
