< 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.
Ary tamin’ ny andro fahadimy tamin’ ny volana fahefatra tamin’ ny taona fahatelo-polo, raha teo amin’ ny babo teo amoron’ ny ony Kebara aho, dia nisokatra ny lanitra, ka nahita fahitana avy tamin’ Andriamanitra aho.
2 In the fift day of the moneth (which was the fift yere of King Ioiachins captiuitie)
Tamin’ ny andro fahadimy tamin’ ny volana (taona fahadimy taorian’ ny namaboana an’ i Joiakina mpanjaka izany)
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.
dia tonga tamin’ i Ezekiela mpisorona, zanak’ i Bozy, ny tenin’ i Jehovah tany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Kaldeana, teo amoron’ ny ony Kebara; ary ny tànan’ i Jehovah dia taminy teo.
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.
Ary hitako fa, indro, nisy tafio-drivotra avy tany avaratra, dia rahona lehibe sy afo mifandrambondrambona, sady nisy namirapiratra manodidina azy; ary avy teo amin’ ny afo dia nisy toy ny volon’ ny metaly mamirapiratra.
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.
Ary teo aminy koa nisy toa endriky ny zava-manan’ aina efatra. Ary ny fikery azy dia hoatra ny endrik’ olona.
6 And euery one had foure faces, and euery one had foure wings.
Ary samy nanana tarehy efatra sy elatra efatra avy izy.
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.
Ary mahitsy ny tongony; ary ny faladiany dia tahaka ny faladian’ ny ombilahy kely; ary mamirapiratra toy ny volon’ ny varahina manganohano izy.
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.
Ary nisy tanan’ olona teo ambanin’ ny elany teo amin’ ny lafiny efatra, ary samy nanana ny tarehiny sy ny elany avy izy efatra.
9 They where ioyned by their wings one to another, and when they went forth, they returned not, but euery one went streight forward.
Nifanendry ny elany; tsy niherika izy raha nandeha, fa samy nizotra tamin’ izay hitsiny avy izy rehetra.
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.
Ary ny toetry ny tarehiny dia tahaka ny tarehin’ olona; ary tamin’ ny ankavanany dia samy nanana ny tarehin’ ny liona izy efatra, ary tamin’ ny ankaviany dia samy nanana ny tarehin’ omby, ary samy nanana ny tarehin’ ny voromahery koa izy efatra.
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.
Ary ny tarehiny sy ny elany dia nisaraka hatreo ambony: samy nisy roa nifanendry tamin’ ny an’ ny namany, ary ny roa nanarona ny tenany.
12 And euery one went streight forward: they went whither their spirit led them, and they returned not when they went forth.
Dia samy nizotra tamin’ izay hitsiny avy izy, ka na aiza na aiza no tian’ ny fanahy ho nalehany dia nalehany: tsy niherika izy raha nandeha.
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.
Ary tahaka ny vainafo mirehitra ny fijery ny zava-manan’ aina, dia tahaka ny fijery ny fanilo; nivoivoy teny anelanelan’ ny zava-manan’ aina ny afo; ary namirapiratra ny afo, sady nisy helatra nivoaka avy tao aminy.
14 And the beastes ranne, and returned like vnto lightning.
Ary ny zava-manan’ aina nifanaresaka nankary nankatsy toy ny helatra mifelopeloka.
15 Nowe as I behelde the beastes, beholde, a wheele appeared vpon the earth by the beastes, hauing foure faces.
Ary hitako ny zava-manan’ aina, fa, indro, nisy kodia iray avy teo ambonin’ ny tany, teo anilan’ ny zava-manan’ aina teo anoloan’ ny tarehiny efatra.
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.
Ny tarehin’ ny kodia sy ny rafiny dia tahaka ny volon’ ny krysolita, ary nitovy endrika izy efatra, ary ny tarehiny sy ny rafiny dia toy ny kodia anatin’ ny kodia.
17 Whe they went, they went vpon their foure sides, and they returned not when they went.
Raha nandeha izy, dia nandeha tamin’ izay hitsin’ ny lafiny efatra: tsy niherika izy raha nandeha.
18 They had also rings, and height, and were fearefull to beholde, and their rings were full of eyes, round about them foure.
Ary ny boriboriny manodidina azy dia avo sy mahatahotra, sady feno maso manodidina izy efatra.
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.
Ary raha nandeha ny zava-manan’ aina, dia nandeha teo anilany koa ny kodia; ary raha niainga tsy nipaka tamin’ ny tany ireo zava-manan’ aina, dia mba niainga koa ny kodia.
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.
Na aiza na aiza no tian’ ny fanahy ho naleha dia nalehan’ ireo koa; fa any koa no mba tian’ ny fanahy haleha, ary ny kodia dia niainga teo anilany; fa teo amin’ ny kodia ny fanahin’ ny zava-manan’ aina.
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.
Raha nandeha ireny, dia mba nandeha koa ireto; ary raha nijanona ireny, dia mba nijanona koa ireto; ary raha niainga tsy nipaka tamin’ ny tany ireny, dia mba niainga teo anilany koa ny kodia; fa ny fanahin’ ny zava-manan’ aina dia tao amin’ ny kodia.
22 And the similitude of the firmament vpon the heads of the beasts was wonderfull, like vnto chrystall, spred ouer their heads aboue.
Ary teo ambonin’ ny lohan’ ny zava-manan’ aina dia nisy toa endriky ny eloelo, toy ny volon’ ny krystaly mahatahotra, mivelatra eo ambonin’ ny lohany.
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.
Ary nivelatra mahitsy sady nifanendry ny elany teo ambanin’ ny eloelo: samy nanan-droa avy izy rehetra, izay nanaronany ny tenany.
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.
Ary raha nandeha izy, dia nahare ny fikopakopaky ny elany aho, toy ny firohondrohon’ ny rano be, dia tahaka ny feon’ ny Tsitoha, dia feo toy ny fireondreon’ ny miaramila mitoby;
25 And there was a voyce from the firmament, that was ouer their heads, when they stoode, and had let downe their wings.
Ary nisy feo avy teo ambonin’ ny eloelo izay teo ambonin’ ny lohany; nony nijanona izy, dia namihina ny elany.
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.
Ary teo ambonin’ ny eloelo, izay teo ambonin’ ny lohany, dia nisy endriky ny seza fiandrianana mitovy volo amin’ ny vato safira; ary teo ambonin’ ny endriky ny seza fiandrianana dia nisy hoatra ny endrik’ olona.
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.
Ary nahita toy ny volon’ ny metaly mamirapiratra aho, dia hoatra ny tarehin’ ny afo manodidina azy; ary hatramin’ ny valahany no ho miakatra ka hatramin’ ny valahany no ho midìna dia hitako tahaka ny afo, ka nisy namirapiratra manodidina azy.
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.
Toy ny tarehin’ avana amin’ ny rahona amin’ ny andro nisy ranon’ orana no tarehin’ ny namirapiratra manodidina. Izany no fijery ny endriky ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah. Ary nony nahita izany aho, dia nikarapoka nihohoka ka nandre ny feon’ ny anankiray niteny.
