Ezekiel 1
1 NOW IT came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river Chebar that the heavens were opened, and I saw 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 fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity,
Tamin’ ny andro fahadimy tamin’ ny volana (taona fahadimy taorian’ ny namaboana an’ i Joiakina mpanjaka izany)
3 the word of the LORD came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the LORD was there upon 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, behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, a great cloud, with a fire flashing up, so that a brightness was round about it; and out of the midst thereof as the colour of electrum, out of the midst of the fire.
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 And out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had the likeness 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 every one had four faces, and every one of them had four wings.
Ary samy nanana tarehy efatra sy elatra efatra avy izy.
7 And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot; and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass.
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 they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and as for the faces and wings of them four,
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 their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward.
Nifanendry ny elany; tsy niherika izy raha nandeha, fa samy nizotra tamin’ izay hitsiny avy izy rehetra.
10 As for the likeness of their faces, they had the face of a man; and they four had the face of a lion on the right side; and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four had also 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; and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered 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 they went every one straight forward; whither the spirit was to go, they went; they turned not when they went.
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 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like coals of fire, burning like the appearance of torches; it flashed up and down among the living creatures; and there was brightness to the fire, and out of the fire went forth 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 living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.
Ary ny zava-manan’ aina nifanaresaka nankary nankatsy toy ny helatra mifelopeloka.
15 Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel at the bottom hard by the living creatures, at the four faces thereof.
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 appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl; and they four had one likeness; and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel within a wheel.
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 When they went, they went toward their four sides; they turned not when they went.
Raha nandeha izy, dia nandeha tamin’ izay hitsin’ ny lafiny efatra: tsy niherika izy raha nandeha.
18 As for their rings, they were high and they were dreadful; and they four had their rings full of eyes round about.
Ary ny boriboriny manodidina azy dia avo sy mahatahotra, sady feno maso manodidina izy efatra.
19 And when the living creatures went, the wheels went hard by them; and when the living creatures were lifted up from the bottom, the wheels were lifted up.
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 Whithersoever the spirit was to go, as the spirit was to go thither, so they went; and the wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
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 those went, these went, and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
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 over the heads of the living creatures there was the likeness of a firmament, like the colour of the terrible ice, stretched forth over their heads above.
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 under the firmament were their wings conformable the one to the other; this one of them had two which covered, and that one of them had two which covered, 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, I heard the noise of their wings like the noise of great waters, like the voice of the Almighty, a noise of tumult like the noise of a host; when they stood, they let down 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 For, when there was a voice above the firmament that was over their heads, as they stood, they let down their wings.
Ary nisy feo avy teo ambonin’ ny eloelo izay teo ambonin’ ny lohany; nony nijanona izy, dia namihina ny elany.
26 And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone; and upon the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man upon it above.
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 saw as the colour of electrum, as the appearance of fire round about enclosing it, from the appearance of his loins and upward; and from the appearance of his loins and downward I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness round about him.
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 appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spoke.
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.
