< 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.
Waggaa soddommaffaa keessa, bultii shanaffaa jiʼa afuraffaatti utuu ani Laga Kebaar biratti boojiʼamtoota gidduu jiruu samiiwwan ni banaman; anis mulʼata Waaqaa nan arge.
2 (On the fifth day of the month of the fifth year of King Jehoiachin's exile,
Jiʼa sana keessaas bultii shanaffaatti jechuunis Yehooyaakiin Mootichi boojiʼamee waggaa shanaffaatti,
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.)
dubbiin Waaqayyoo Laga Kebaar biratti biyya Baabilonotaa keessatti gara Hisqiʼeel lubicha ilma Buuz dhufe. Achittis harki Waaqayyoo isa irra ture.
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
Anis milʼadhee bubbee hamaa karaa kaabaatiin dhufaa jiru jechuunis duumessa guddaa balaqqeessa ifuu fi ifa guddaan marfame tokkon arge. Wiirtuun ibidda sanaas sibiila ibiddaan diimeffame fakkaata ture;
5 and within it was the shape of four beings. This was what they looked like: They had a human shape,
ibidda sana keessas waan uumamawwan jiraatoo afur fakkaatu tokkotu ture. Bifti isaas bifa namaa fakkaata ture;
6 but they each had four faces and four wings.
tokkoon tokkoon isaanii fuula afur afurii fi qoochoo afur afur qabu turan.
7 They had straight legs, and the soles of their feet looked like the hooves of calves, and shone like polished bronze.
Miilli isaanii qajeelaa dha; faanni isaanii immoo kottee jabbii fakkaatee akka naasii dibameetti ni calaqqisa ture.
8 They had human hands under their wings on each of their four sides. The four of them all had faces and wings,
Qoochoo isaanii jalaanis qixa afraniin harka namaa qabu ture. Afran isaanii hundi fuulaa fi qoochoo qabu turan;
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.
qoochoon isaaniis wal tuqa ture. Tokkoon tokkoon isaanii qajeelanii fuula duratti deeman; yeroo deemanittis of duuba hin milʼatan ture.
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.
Fuulli isaanii kana fakkaata ture: Afran isaanii iyyuu tokkoon tokkoon isaanii fuula namaa qabu ture; karaa mirgaatiin tokkoon tokkoon isaanii fuula leencaa, karaa bitaatiin immoo fuula qotiyyoo qabu ture; akkasumas tokkoon tokkoon isaanii fuula risaa qabu ture.
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.
Egaa fuulli isaanii akkas ture. Qoochoon isaaniis ol diriirfama ture. Tokkoon tokkoon isaanii qoochoo lama lama qabu ture. Qoochoo tokkoo tokkoo isaanii karaa lamaaniinuu qoochoo uumama kaanii tuqa; qoochoon lama immoo dhagna isaa haguuga ture.
12 Each of them went together in whatever direction the Spirit wished them to go, moving without turning.
Tokkoon tokkoon isaanii qajeelanii fuula duratti ni deeman. Isaanis utuu of irra hin milʼatin iddoo hafuurri deemu hunda dhaqu turan.
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.
Bifti uumamawwan jiraatoo sanaa cilee ibiddaa kan bobaʼu yookaan guca bobaʼu fakkaata ture. Uumamawwan sana gidduus ibiddi asii fi achi sosochoʼa ture; ni ifas ture; bakakkaanis isa keessaa ni baʼa ture.
14 The beings raced to and fro as fast as the lightning flashes.
Uumamawwan sunis akka ifa bakakkaa asii fi achi darbatamu ture.
15 As I was watching these beings, I noticed a wheel on the ground next to each of the beings with their four faces.
Anis akkuman uumamawwan jiraatoo sana ilaaleen tokkoo tokkoo uumama fuula afur afur qabu sanaa cinatti geengoo tokko tokko nan arge.
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.
Biftii fi haalli geengoowwan sun ittiin hojjetamaniis akkana ture: Isaanis akka dhagaa gati jabeessa biiralee jedhamuu calaqqisu ture; afran isaanii hundinuu wal fakkaatu ture. Tokkoon tokkoon geengoo sanaa waan geengoo kaanitti diramee hojjetame fakkaata ture.
17 They could move in any direction without turning as they did so.
Isaanis yommuu deemanitti utuu of irra hin milʼatin kallattii afran kamiin iyyuu deeman; yommuu uumamawwan sun deemanis geengoowwan kallattii hin geeddaratan ture.
18 The wheel rims were impressively high, and all of the four rims were covered in eyes.
Qarqarri geengoowwan sanaas ol dheeraa fi sodaachisaa ture; qarqarri geengoowwanii afranuus guutumaan guutuutti ijaan marfamanii turan.
19 As the beings moved so did the wheels next to them, and when the beings flew up, the wheels did too.
Yeroo uumamawwan jiraatoon sun deemanitti geengoowwan isaan cinaan jiranis ni deeman; yommuu uumamawwan jiraatoon ol kaʼanitti geengoowwanis ol kaʼan.
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.
Iddoo hafuurri dhaqu hundas ni dhaqu ture; sababii hafuurri uumamawwan jiraatoo sanaa geengoowwan keessa jiruuf geengoowwanis isaan wajjin ol kaʼan.
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.
Yommuu uumamawwan sun deemanitti isaanis ni deeman; yommuu uumamawwan dhaabatanitti isaanis ni dhaabatan; sababii hafuurri uumamawwan jiraatoo sanaa geengoowwan keessa jiruuf yommuu uumamawwan sun lafaa ol kaʼanitti geengoowwanis isaanuma wajjin ol kaʼan.
22 Extending above the heads of the being was something that looked like an amazing expanse that glittered like ice crystal.
Mataa uumamawwan jiraatoo sanaatiin ol waan akka bantii samii kan akka bilillee calaqqisuu fi kan nama sodaachisu tokkotu diriirfamee ture.
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.
Bantii samii sana jalatti qoochoowwan isaaniis walitti diriirfamanii turan; tokkoon tokkoon isaaniis qoochoowwan ittiin dhagna isaanii haguuggatan lama lama qabu turan.
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.
Yeroo uumamawwan sun deemanitti ani sagalee qoochoowwan isaanii nan dhagaʼe; sagaleen kunis sagalee akka bishaan guutee huursuu, akka sagalee Waaqa Waan Hunda Dandaʼuutii fi akka waca tuuta loltootaa ture. Isaan yeroo dhaabatan qoochoowwan isaanii gad qabatu ture.
25 A voice spoke from beyond the expanse over their heads while they were standing still with their wings folded.
Akkuma isaan qoochoo isaanii gad qabatanii dhaabataniinis bantii samii kan mataa isaaniitiin ol jiru sana irraa sagaleen tokko dhufe.
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.
Bantii samii kan mataa isaaniitii ol jiru gubbaa waan akka teessoo sanpeer fakkaatu tokkotu ture; teessoo sanaa olittis fakkaattii akka fakkaattii namaa tokkotu ture.
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.
Anis waan mudhii isaa fakkaatuun olitti sibiila diimeffamee ibidda fakkaatu kan ibiddaan guutame tokko nan arge; waan mudhii isaa fakkaatu sanaan gadittis inni ibidda fakkaata ture; ifni guddaanis isa marsee ture.
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.
Gonfoon ifaa kan naannoo isaa ture sunis bifa sabbata Waaqaa kan guyyaa roobni roobuu fakkaata ture. Kunis bifa fakkaattii ulfina Waaqayyoo ture. Anis yeroon waan kana argetti addaan lafatti gombifamee sagalee waan dubbachaa jiru tokkoo nan dhagaʼe.
