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.
E aconteceu que aos trinta anos, no quarto mes, no dia quinto do mes, estando eu no meio dos cativos, junto ao rio Chebar, se abriram os céus, e eu vi visões de Deus.
2 On the fifth day of the month, the same was the fifth year of the captivity of king Joachin,
No quinto dia do mês (que foi no quinto ano do cativeiro do rei Joachim),
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.
Veio expressamente a palavra do Senhor a Ezequiel, filho de Buzi, o sacerdote, na terra dos caldeus, junto ao rio de Chebar, e ali esteve sobre ele a mão do Senhor.
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:
Então vi, e eis que um vento tempestuoso vinha do norte, uma grande nuvem, e um fogo revolvendo-se nela, e um resplandor ao redor dela, e no meio dela havia uma coisa como de cor de âmbar, que saía do meio do fogo.
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.
E do meio dela saía a semelhança de quatro animais; e esta era a sua aparência: Tinham a semelhança de homens.
6 Every one had four faces, and every one four wings.
E cada um tinha quatro rostos, como também cada um deles quatro asas.
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.
E os seus pés eram pés direitos; e as plantas dos seus pés como a planta do pé de uma bezerra, e luziam como a cor de cobre abrazado.
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,
E tinham mãos de homem debaixo das suas asas, aos quatro lados; e assim todos quatro tinham seus rostos e suas asas.
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.
Uniam-se as suas asas uma à outra: não se viravam quando iam, e cada qual andava diante do seu rosto.
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.
E a semelhança dos seus rostos era como o rosto de homem; e à mão direita todos os quatro tinham rosto de leão, e à mão esquerda todos os quatro tinham rosto de boi; e rosto de águia todos os quatro.
11 And their faces, and their wings were stretched upward: two wings of every one were joined, and two covered their bodies:
E os seus rostos e as suas asas estavam divididas por cima: cada qual tinha duas asas juntas uma à outra, e duas cobriam os corpos deles.
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.
E cada qual andava diante do seu rosto; para onde o espírito havia de ir, iam; não se viravam quando andavam.
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.
E, quanto à semelhança dos animais, o seu parecer era como de brazas de fogo ardentes, como uma aparência da alâmpadas: o fogo corria por entre os animais, e o fogo resplandecia, e do fogo saiam relâmpagos;
14 And the living creatures ran and returned like flashes of lightning.
E os animais corriam, e tornavam, à semelhança dos relâmpagos.
15 Now as I beheld the living creatures, there appeared upon the earth by the living creatures one wheel with four faces.
E vi os animais: e eis aqui uma roda na terra junto aos animais, para cada um dos seus quatro rostos.
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.
O aspecto das rodas, e a obra delas, era como cor de turqueza; e as quatro tinham uma mesma semelhança: e o seu aspecto, e a sua obra, era como se estivera uma roda no meio de outra roda.
17 When they went, they went by their four parts: and they turned not when they went.
Andando elas, andavam pelos quatro lados deles; não se viravam quando andavam.
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.
E as suas costas eram tão altas, que metiam medo; e estas quatro tinham as suas costas cheias de olhos ao redor.
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.
E, andando os animais, andavam as rodas ao pé deles; e, elevando-se os animais da terra, elevavam-se também as rodas.
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.
Para onde o espírito havia de ir, iam; para lá havia o espírito de ir; e as rodas se elevavam defronte deles, porque o espírito de vida estava nas rodas.
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.
Andando eles, andavam elas, e, parando eles, paravam elas, e, elevando-se eles da terra, elevavam-se também as rodas defronte deles; porque o espírito dos animais estava nas rodas.
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.
E sobre as cabeças dos animais havia uma semelhança de firmamento, como um aspecto de cristal terrível, estendido por cima, sobre as suas cabeças.
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.
E debaixo do firmamento estavam as suas asas direitas uma para a outra: cada um tinha duas, que lhe cobriam o corpo de uma banda; e cada um tinha outras duas, que os cobriam da outra banda.
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.
E, andando eles, ouvi o ruído das suas asas, com o ruído de muitas águas, como a voz do onipotente, a voz dum estrondo, como o estrépito de um exército: parando eles, abaixavam as suas asas.
25 For when a voice came from above the firmament, that was over their heads, they stood, and let down their wings.
E ouviu-se uma voz por cima do firmamento, que ficava por cima das suas cabeças: parando eles, abaixavam as suas asas.
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.
E por cima do firmamento, que ficava por cima das suas cabeças, havia uma semelhança de trono, como de uma safira; e sobre a semelhança do trono uma semelhança ao aspecto dum homem, que estava por cima, sobre ele.
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.
E vi como a cor de âmbar, como o aspecto do fogo pelo interior dele, desde o aspecto dos seus lombos, e daí para cima; e, desde o aspecto dos seus lombos e daí para baixo, vi como a semelhança do fogo, e um resplandor ao redor dele.
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.
Como o aspecto do arco que aparece na nuvem no dia da chuva, assim era o aspecto do resplandor em redor: este era o aspecto da semelhança da glória do Senhor: e, vendo-a eu, caí sobre o meu rosto, e ouvi a voz de quem falava.
