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.
Afe a ɛtɔ so aduasa no, bosome a ɛtɔ so ɛnan no ɛda a ɛtɔ so enum, ɛberɛ a na me ka atukɔfoɔ ho wɔ Asubɔnten Kebar ho no, ɔsoro bueɛ na mehunuu Onyankopɔn wɔ anisoadehunu mu.
2 In the fift day of the moneth (which was the fift yere of King Ioiachins captiuitie)
Ɔbosome no ɛda a ɛtɔ so enum no, na ɔhene Yehoiakin adi atukorɔ mu mfeɛ enum.
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.
Awurade asɛm baa Busi babarima Hesekiel a ɔyɛ ɔsɔfoɔ nkyɛn wɔ Asubɔnten Kebar ho wɔ Babilonia asase so. Ɛhɔ na Onyankopɔn nsa baa ne so.
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.
Mehwɛeɛ na mehunuu sɛ ahum kɛseɛ bi firi atifi fam reba, omununkum kɛseɛ bi a ɛrete ayerɛmo na hann bi a ano yɛ den atwa ho ahyia. Ogya no mfimfini te sɛ dadeɛ a asɔ kɔɔ.
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.
Na ogya no mu na na wɔhunu biribi te sɛ ateasefoɔ ɛnan. Na wɔn su te sɛ onipa,
6 And euery one had foure faces, and euery one had foure wings.
wɔn mu biara anim yɛ ɛnan na wɔwowɔ ntaban ɛnan ɛnan.
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.
Wɔn nan yɛ kyirebenn, wɔn anammɔn te sɛ nantwie ba deɛ, na ɛhyerɛn te sɛ kɔbere mfrafraeɛ a wɔahoa ho.
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.
Wɔwowɔ nnipa nsa wɔ ntaban a ɛwowɔ afa afa ɛnan no ase. Wɔn mu biara wɔ nnipa nsa ɛnan a baako wɔ ntaban biara ase,
9 They where ioyned by their wings one to another, and when they went forth, they returned not, but euery one went streight forward.
na wɔn ntaban keka sisi anim. Wɔn nyinaa kɔ wɔn anim tee a wɔnnanedane wɔn ho.
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.
Na sei na wɔn anim teteɛ: Wɔn mu biara wɔ onipa anim, wɔwɔ gyata anim wɔ nifa so, wɔwɔ nantwie anim wɔ benkum so; na wɔn mu biara nso wɔ ɔkɔdeɛ anim.
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.
Saa na na wɔn anim teteɛ. Wɔatrɛtrɛ wɔn ntaban mu kɔ ɔsoro; na wɔn mu biara wɔ ntaban mmienu mmienu, a emu biara si ɔfoforɔ deɛ anim wɔ benkum ne nifa, na ntaban mmienu nso katakata wɔn ho.
12 And euery one went streight forward: they went whither their spirit led them, and they returned not when they went forth.
Obiara kɔ nʼanim tee. Baabiara a honhom no bɛkɔ no, ɛhɔ na wɔbɛkɔ a wɔnnane wɔn ho.
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.
Ateasefoɔ no suban te sɛ ogyasramma a ɛrederɛ anaa ogyatɛn. Ogya di akɔneaba wɔ ateasefoɔ no mu; ɛhyerɛn na emu na anyinam firi dwidwa.
14 And the beastes ranne, and returned like vnto lightning.
Na ateasefoɔ no di akɔneaba mmirika so te sɛ anyinam a ɛredwidwa.
15 Nowe as I behelde the beastes, beholde, a wheele appeared vpon the earth by the beastes, hauing foure faces.
Ɛberɛ a merehwɛ ateasefoɔ no, mehunuu sɛ ntwahonan si fam wɔ ateasefoɔ a wɔn mu biara anim yɛ ɛnan no nkyɛn mu.
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.
Sei na na ntwahonan no bɔberɛ teɛ: ɛtwa yerɛ yerɛ te sɛ sikabereɛboɔ, na ɛnan no nyinaa sesɛ. Wɔayɛ emu biara te sɛ ntwahonan a ɛbea ntwahonan foforɔ mu.
17 Whe they went, they went vpon their foure sides, and they returned not when they went.
Sɛ ntwahonan no nam a, wɔkɔ faako a ateasefoɔ no ani kyerɛ; ntwahonan no, ɛnnanedane ɛberɛ a ateasefoɔ no nam.
18 They had also rings, and height, and were fearefull to beholde, and their rings were full of eyes, round about them foure.
Wɔn nhankra no korɔn, na ɛyɛ nwanwa, na aniwa tuatua nhankra ɛnan no nyinaa ho.
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.
Sɛ ateasefoɔ no nante a, ntwahonan a ɛbatabata wɔn ho no nso kɔ saa ara; sɛ ateasefoɔ no ma wɔn ho so firi fam a, ntwahonan no nso ma wɔn ho so.
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.
Baabiara a honhom no bɛkɔ no, ateasefoɔ no nso bɛkɔ, na ntwahonan no bɛka wɔn ho ama wɔn ho so, ɛfiri sɛ ateasefoɔ no honhom wɔ ntwahonan no mu.
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.
Sɛ ateasefoɔ no tu tene a, ntwahonan no nso kɔ saa ara; sɛ ateasefoɔ no gyina a, wɔn nso gyina; sɛ ateasefoɔ no pagya wɔn ho a, ntwahonan no ne wɔn pagya wɔn ho, ɛfiri sɛ ateasefoɔ no honhom wɔ ntwahonan no mu.
22 And the similitude of the firmament vpon the heads of the beasts was wonderfull, like vnto chrystall, spred ouer their heads aboue.
Na ntrɛmu bi wɔ ateasefoɔ no atifi a ɛpa yerɛyerɛ te sɛ nsukyeneeɛ, na ɛyɛ nwanwa.
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.
Na wɔatrɛtrɛ wɔn ntaban no mu asisi anim wɔ ntrɛmu no ase, na ateasefoɔ no mu biara wɔ ntaban mmienu a ɛkata ne ho.
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.
Ateasefoɔ no tu teneeɛ no, metee wɔn ntaban no nnyegyeɛ, a ɛte sɛ nsuo a ɛreworo so, te sɛ Otumfoɔ no nne, anaa akodɔm hooyɛ. Sɛ wɔgyina a, wɔgyaagyaa wɔn ntaban mu.
25 And there was a voyce from the firmament, that was ouer their heads, when they stoode, and had let downe their wings.
Na ɛnne bi firi ntrɛmu a ɛkata wɔn so no atifi baeɛ, ɛberɛ a wɔagyaagyaa wɔn ntaban mu na wɔgyinagyina hɔ no.
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.
Na biribi a ɛte sɛ aboɔdemmoɔ ahennwa wɔ ntrɛmu a ɛkata ateasefoɔ no atifi so, na biribi a ɛte sɛ onipa te ahennwa so wɔ soro hɔ.
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.
Mehunuu sɛ, ɛfiri deɛ ayɛ sɛ nʼasene mu rekɔ ne soro no, na ɔte sɛ dadeɛ a adɔ kɔɔ sɛ ogya a ano asɔ, na ɛfiri hɔ reba ne fam no, na ɔte sɛ egyadɛreɛ; na hann a ɛhyerɛn atwa ne ho ahyia.
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.
Sɛdeɛ nyankontɔn to wɔ omununkum mu osutɔ ɛda no, saa ara na hann a atwa ne ho ahyia no teɛ. Yei yɛ Awurade animuonyam ahoyie no sɛso. Na mehunuuɛ no, me de mʼanim butuu fam, na metee obi a ɔrekasa nne.
