Ezekiel 1
1 On the fifth day of the fourth month of the thirtieth year, I was with the other exiles by the River Kebar. The heavens opened and I saw 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 day of the month of the fifth year of King Jehoiachin's exile,
(Sou senkyèm jou nan mwa a, nan senkyèm ane egzil a Wa Jojakin nan,
3 a message from Lord was given to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of Babylonia by the River Kebar. There Lord's power came over him.)
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 I looked up and saw a windstorm racing in from the north, a tremendous cloud with fire flashing like lightning and surrounded by brilliant light. The middle of the fire looked like glowing metal
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 within it was the shape of four beings. This was what they looked like: They had a human shape,
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 but they each had four faces and four wings.
Yo chak te gen kat figi ak kat zèl.
7 They had straight legs, and the soles of their feet looked like the hooves of calves, and shone like polished bronze.
Janm yo te dwat, pye yo te tankou zago jenn bèf, e yo te klere tankou bwonz poli.
8 They had human hands under their wings on each of their four sides. The four of them all had faces and wings,
Anba zèl yo, nan kat kote yo, te gen men a moun. Yo kat te gen figi ak zèl yo konsa:
9 and each of their wings touched the wings of the one next to it. As they moved they didn't turn—they all moved straight in one direction.
Zèl pa yo te jwente youn lòt. Yo pa t vire lè yo te deplase. Yo chak te ale tou dwat devan.
10 This what their faces looked like. They had a human face to the front, a lion's face to the right, a bull's face to the left, and lastly an eagle's face.
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 These were their faces. Their wings were spread out above them. They all had two wings that touched the wings of the one beside it, as well as two wings that covered its body.
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 Each of them went together in whatever direction the Spirit wished them to go, moving without turning.
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 These beings looked like bright burning coals or torches. Blazing fire moved to and fro between the beings, and lightning flashed out 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 The beings raced to and fro as fast as the lightning flashes.
Epi kreyati vivan yo te kouri fè ale retou tankou kout loray.
15 As I was watching these beings, I noticed a wheel on the ground next to each of the beings with their 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 The wheels looked like they were made of topaz, and all four wheels were the same. In the middle of each wheel was what looked like another wheel set crossways.
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 They could move in any direction without turning as they did so.
Nenpòt lè yo deplase, yo te deplase nan nenpòt nan kat direksyon yo, san menm vire pandan yo t ap deplase a.
18 The wheel rims were impressively high, and all of the four rims were covered in eyes.
Wotè a wou yo te tèlman wo. Yo te etonan. Arebò toule kat te plen ak zye toutotou l nèt.
19 As the beings moved so did the wheels next to them, and when the beings flew up, the wheels did too.
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 They would go wherever the Spirit went. The wheels would lift up beside them, because the Spirit of the beings was in the wheels to direct them.
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 the beings moved, the wheels moved; when they stopped, the wheels stopped; and when they flew up from the ground, the wheels flew up beside them, because the Spirit of the beings was in the wheels to direct them.
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 Extending above the heads of the being was something that looked like an amazing expanse that glittered like ice crystal.
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 Under this expanse the wings of the beings spread out toward one another. Each of them also had two wings that covered its body.
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 When the beings moved, I heard the sound their wings made. It was like the roar of a thundering waterfall, like the voice of the Almighty, like the noise of an army on the march. Whenever they stopped, they folded their wings.
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 A voice spoke from beyond the expanse over their heads while they were standing still with their wings folded.
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 Above the expanse over their heads I saw what looked like a throne made of lapis lazuli. Sitting on the throne high above was a being who looked like a man.
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 From what seemed to be his waist upwards, he looked like glowing metal with fire inside and everywhere around. From what seemed to be his waist downwards, I saw what looked like fire. He was surrounded by very bright light.
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 The bright light surrounding him was like a rainbow shining through the clouds on a rainy day. This was what the glory of the Lord looked like. When I saw it, I fell facedown on the ground, and then I heard someone speaking to me.
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.
