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.
E aconteceu que aos trinta annos, no quarto mez, no dia quinto do mez, estando eu no meio dos captivos, junto ao rio Chebar, se abriram os céus, e eu vi visões de Deus.
2 In the fift day of the moneth (which was the fift yere of King Ioiachins captiuitie)
No quinto dia do mez (que foi no quinto anno do captiveiro do rei Joachim),
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.
Veiu expressamente a palavra do Senhor a Ezequiel, filho de Buzi, o sacerdote, na terra dos chaldeos, junto ao rio de Chebar, e ali esteve sobre elle a mão do Senhor.
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.
Então vi, e eis que um vento tempestuoso vinha do norte, uma grande nuvem, e um fogo revolvendo-se n'ella, e um resplandor ao redor d'ella, e no meio d'ella havia uma coisa como de côr de ambar, que sahia do meio do fogo.
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.
E do meio d'ella sahia a similhança de quatro animaes; e esta era a sua apparencia: Tinham a similhança de homens.
6 And euery one had foure faces, and euery one had foure wings.
E cada um tinha quatro rostos, como tambem cada um d'elles quatro azas.
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.
E os seus pés eram pés direitos; e as plantas dos seus pés como a planta do pé d'uma bezerra, e luziam como a côr de cobre abrazado.
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.
E tinham mãos de homem debaixo das suas azas, aos quatro lados; e assim todos quatro tinham seus rostos e suas azas.
9 They where ioyned by their wings one to another, and when they went forth, they returned not, but euery one went streight forward.
Uniam-se as suas azas uma á outra: não se viravam quando iam, e cada qual andava diante do seu rosto.
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.
E a similhança dos seus rostos era como o rosto de homem; e á mão direita todos os quatro tinham rosto de leão, e á mão esquerda todos os quatro tinham rosto de boi; e rosto de aguia todos os quatro.
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.
E os seus rostos e as suas azas estavam divididas por cima: cada qual tinha duas azas juntas uma á outra, e duas cobriam os corpos d'elles.
12 And euery one went streight forward: they went whither their spirit led them, and they returned not when they went forth.
E cada qual andava diante do seu rosto; para onde o espirito havia de ir, iam; não se viravam quando andavam.
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.
E, quanto á similhança dos animaes, o seu parecer era como de brazas de fogo ardentes, como uma apparencia d'alampadas: o fogo corria por entre os animaes, e o fogo resplandecia, e do fogo sahiam relampagos;
14 And the beastes ranne, and returned like vnto lightning.
E os animaes corriam, e tornavam, á similhança dos relampagos.
15 Nowe as I behelde the beastes, beholde, a wheele appeared vpon the earth by the beastes, hauing foure faces.
E vi os animaes: e eis aqui uma roda na terra junto aos animaes, para cada um dos seus quatro rostos.
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.
O aspecto das rodas, e a obra d'ellas, era como côr de turqueza; e as quatro tinham uma mesma similhança: e o seu aspecto, e a sua obra, era como se estivera uma roda no meio de outra roda.
17 Whe they went, they went vpon their foure sides, and they returned not when they went.
Andando ellas, andavam pelos quatro lados d'elles; não se viravam quando andavam.
18 They had also rings, and height, and were fearefull to beholde, and their rings were full of eyes, round about them foure.
E as suas costas eram tão altas, que mettiam medo; e estas quatro tinham as suas costas cheias de olhos ao redor.
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.
E, andando os animaes, andavam as rodas ao pé d'elles; e, elevando-se os animaes da terra, elevavam-se tambem as rodas.
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.
Para onde o espirito havia de ir, iam; para lá havia o espirito de ir; e as rodas se elevavam defronte d'elles, porque o espirito de vida estava nas rodas.
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.
Andando elles, andavam ellas, e, parando elles, paravam ellas, e, elevando-se elles da terra, elevavam-se tambem as rodas defronte d'elles; porque o espirito dos animaes estava nas rodas.
22 And the similitude of the firmament vpon the heads of the beasts was wonderfull, like vnto chrystall, spred ouer their heads aboue.
E sobre as cabeças dos animaes havia uma similhança de firmamento, como um aspecto de crystal terrivel, estendido por cima, sobre as suas cabeças.
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.
E debaixo do firmamento estavam as suas azas 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 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.
E, andando elles, ouvi o ruido das suas azas, com o ruido de muitas aguas, como a voz do Omnipotente, a voz d'um estrondo, como o estrepito de um exercito: parando elles, abaixavam as suas azas.
25 And there was a voyce from the firmament, that was ouer their heads, when they stoode, and had let downe their wings.
E ouviu-se uma voz por cima do firmamento, que ficava por cima das suas cabeças: parando elles, abaixavam as suas azas.
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.
E por cima do firmamento, que ficava por cima das suas cabeças, havia uma similhança de throno, como d'uma saphira; e sobre a similhança do throno uma similhança ao aspecto d'um homem, que estava por cima, sobre elle.
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.
E vi como a côr de ambar, como o aspecto do fogo pelo interior d'elle, desde o aspecto dos seus lombos, e d'ahi para cima; e, desde o aspecto dos seus lombos e d'ahi para baixo, vi como a similhança do fogo, e um resplandor ao redor d'elle.
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.
Como o aspecto do arco que apparece na nuvem no dia da chuva, assim era o aspecto do resplandor em redor: este era o aspecto da similhança da gloria do Senhor: e, vendo-a eu, cahi sobre o meu rosto, e ouvi a voz de quem fallava.
