Ezekiel 1
1 It came to passe in the thirtieth yere in the fourth moneth, and in the fift day of the moneth (as I was among the captiues by the riuer Chebar) that the heauens were opened and I sawe visions of GOD.
Og det skete i det tredivte Aar, i den fjerde Maaned, paa den femte Dag i Maaneden, da jeg var midt iblandt de bortførte ved Floden Kebar, at Himlene aabnedes, og jeg saa Syner fra Gud.
2 In the fift day of the moneth (which was the fift yere of King Ioiachins captiuitie)
Paa den femte Dag i Maaneden (det var i det femte Aar, efter at Kong Jojakin var bortført),
3 The word of the Lord came vnto Ezekiel the Priest, the sonne of Buzi, in the lande of the Caldeans, by the riuer Chebar, where the hande of the Lord was vpon him.
da kom Herrens Ord til Præsten Ezekiel, Busis Søn, i Kaldæernes Land, ved Floden Kebar; og Herrens Haand kom over ham der.
4 And I looked, and beholde, a whirlewinde came out of the North, a great cloude and a fire wrapped about it, and a brightnesse was about it, and in the middes thereof, to wit, in the middes of the fire came out as the likenesse of amber.
Og jeg saa, og se, der kom et Stormvejr af Norden, en stor Sky og Ild, som slyngede sig sammen, og med en Glans trindt omkring; og midt ud af den var der som et Syn af glødende Malm, midt ud af Ilden.
5 Also out of the middes therof came the likenesse of foure beastes, and this was their forme: they had the appearance of a man.
Og midt ud af den saas en Skikkelse af fire levende Væsener, og dette var deres Udseende: De havde et Menneskes Skikkelse.
6 And euery one had foure faces, and euery one had foure wings.
Og ethvert af dem havde fire Ansigter og ethvert fire Vinger.
7 And their feete were streight feete, and the sole of their feete was like the sole of a calues foote, and they sparkled like the appearance of bright brasse.
Og deres Ben vare lige Ben, og deres Bens Fod var som en Kalvefod, og de vare skinnende som blankt Kobber at se til.
8 And the handes of a man came out from vnder their wings in the foure parts of them, and they foure had their faces, and their wings.
Og der var Menneskehænder under deres Vinger, paa deres fire Sider, og de havde alle fire deres Ansigter og deres Vinger.
9 They where ioyned by their wings one to another, and when they went forth, they returned not, but euery one went streight forward.
Deres Vinger vare sammensluttede, den ene til den anden; de vendte sig ikke, naar de gik, de gik hver lige frem for sig.
10 And the similitude of their faces was as the face of a man: and they foure had the face of a lyon on the right side, and they foure had the face of a bullocke on the left side: they foure also had the face of an eagle.
Og deres Ansigt lignede et Menneskes Ansigt, og en Løves Ansigt havde alle fire til højre, og en Okses Ansigt havde alle fire til venstre, og en Ørns Ansigt havde alle fire.
11 Thus were their faces: but their wings were spred out aboue: two wings of euery one were ioined one to another, and two couered their bodies.
Og deres Ansigter og deres Vinger vare oventil adskilte; paa hver vare tvende sammensluttende, den ene til den anden, og tvende skjulte deres Kroppe.
12 And euery one went streight forward: they went whither their spirit led them, and they returned not when they went forth.
Og de gik hver lige frem for sig; hvorhen Aanden vilde gaa, gik de, de vendte sig ikke, naar de gik.
13 The similitude also of the beasts, and their appearance was like burning coles of fire, and like the appearance of lampes: for the fire ran among the beastes, and the fire gaue a glister, and out of the fire there went lightning.
Og hvad de levende Væseners Skikkelse angaar, da var deres Udseende som glødende Kul, der brænde som Blus, at se til; Ilden for hid og did imellem de levende Væsener; og den skinnede, og der udgik Lyn af Ilden.
14 And the beastes ranne, and returned like vnto lightning.
Og de levende Væsener løb frem og tilbage som Lynglimt at se til.
15 Nowe as I behelde the beastes, beholde, a wheele appeared vpon the earth by the beastes, hauing foure faces.
Og jeg saa de levende Væsener, og se, der var et Hjul paa Jorden hos ethvert af de levende, imod de fire Sider.
16 The facion of the wheeles and their worke was like vnto a chrysolite: and they foure had one forme, and their facion, and their worke was as one wheele in another wheele.
Hjulenes Udseende og Arbejdet paa dem var som Synet af en Krysolit, og alle fire vare efter een Skikkelse; og deres Udseende og Arbejdet paa dem var, som om et Hjul var i det andet.
17 Whe they went, they went vpon their foure sides, and they returned not when they went.
Naar de skulde gaa, gik de imod deres fire Sider; de vendte sig ikke, naar de gik.
18 They had also rings, and height, and were fearefull to beholde, and their rings were full of eyes, round about them foure.
Og de havde Fælger, høje og frygtelige, og deres Fælger vare fulde af Øjne trindt omkring paa dem alle fire.
19 And when the beastes went, the wheeles went with them: and when the beasts were lift vp from the earth, the wheeles were lift vp.
Og naar de levende Væsener gik, gik Hjulene hos dem; og naar de levende hævede sig op fra Jorden, hævede Hjulene sig.
20 Whither the spirit led them, they went, and thither did the spirite of the wheeles leade them, and the wheeles were lifted vp besides them: for the spirit of the beastes was in the wheeles.
Hvorhen Aanden vilde gaa, gik de — derhen vilde Aanden gaa; og Hjulene hævede sig op ved Siden af dem; thi Livets Aand var i Hjulene.
21 When the beastes went, they went, and when they stoode, they stoode, and when they were lifted vp from the earth, the wheeles were lifted vp besides them: for the spirite of the beastes was in the wheeles.
Naar de gik, gik disse, og naar de stode, stode disse; og naar de hævede sig op fra Jorden, hævede Hjulene sig ved Siden af dem; thi Livets Aand var i Hjulene.
22 And the similitude of the firmament vpon the heads of the beasts was wonderfull, like vnto chrystall, spred ouer their heads aboue.
Og over Hovederne af de levende Væsener var der som en udstrakt Befæstning, af Udseende som blændende Krystal, den var udbredt oven over deres Hoveder.
23 And vnder the firmament were their wings streight, the one toward the other: every one had two, which couered the, and euery one had two, which couered their bodies.
Og under den udstrakte Befæstning vare deres Vinger strakte lige ud, den ene imod den anden; ethvert af dem her havde to til at dække, og ethvert af dem der havde to til at dække deres Kroppe.
24 And when they went foorth, I heard the noyse of their wings, like the noyse of great waters, and as the voyce of the Almightie, euen the voyce of speach, as the noyse of an host: and when they stood, they let downe their wings.
Og jeg hørte deres Vingers Lyd som en Lyd af store Vande som Lyden af den Almægtige, naar de gik, et Bulders Lyd som Lyden af en Hær; naar de stode stille, lode de deres Vinger synke.
25 And there was a voyce from the firmament, that was ouer their heads, when they stoode, and had let downe their wings.
Og der hørtes en Lyd over den udstrakte Befæstning, som var over deres Hoved; naar de stede stille, lode de deres Vinger synke.
26 And aboue the firmament that was ouer their heads, was the facion of a throne like vnto a saphir stone, and vpon the similitude of the throne was by appearance, as the similitude of a man aboue vpon it.
Og over den udstrakte Befæstning, som var over deres Hoved, var der en Skikkelse af en Trone, der saa ud som Safir, og over Tronens Skikkelse var der atter en Skikkelse som et Menneske at se til, der ovenover.
27 And I sawe as the appearance of amber, and as the similitude of fire round about within it to looke to, euen from his loynes vpwarde: and to looke to, euen from his loynes downewarde, I sawe as a likenesse of fire, and brightnesse round about it.
Og jeg saa som et Syn af gloende Malm, som Udseendet af Ild indadtil, trindt omkring; fra hans Lænder at se til og opad, og fra hans Lænder at se til og nedad, saa jeg som Udseendet af Ild, med en Glans trindt der omkring.
28 As the likenesse of the bowe, that is in the cloude in the day of raine, so was the appearance of the light round about. This was the appearance of the similitude of the glorie of the Lord: and when I sawe it, I fell vpon my face, and I heard a voyce of one that spake.
Som Udseendet af Regnbuen, naar den er i Skyen paa Regnens Dag, saaledes var Udseendet af Glansen trindt omkring; dette var Udseendet af Herrens Herligheds Skikkelse; og jeg saa det, og jeg faldt ned paa mit Ansigt og hørte en Røst, som talte.
