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 of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw 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 fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin’s captivity,
No quinto dia do mez (que foi no quinto anno do captiveiro do rei Joachim),
3 The word of the LORD came expressly to 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 on 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, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire enfolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the middle thereof as the color of amber, out of the middle of the fire.
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 middle thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness 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 every one had four faces, and every one had four wings.
E cada um tinha quatro rostos, como tambem cada um d'elles quatro azas.
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 color of burnished brass.
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 they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four 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 Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward.
Uniam-se as suas azas uma á outra: não se viravam quando iam, e cada qual andava diante do seu rosto.
10 As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four 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: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered 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 they went every one straight forward: where the spirit was to go, they went; and they turned not when they went.
E cada qual andava diante do seu rosto; para onde o espirito havia de ir, iam; não se viravam quando andavam.
13 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth 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 living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.
E os animaes corriam, e tornavam, á similhança dos relampagos.
15 Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel on the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces.
E vi os animaes: e eis aqui uma roda na terra junto aos animaes, para cada um dos seus quatro rostos.
16 The appearance of the wheels and their work was like to the color of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel.
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 When they went, they went on their four sides: and they turned not when they went.
Andando ellas, andavam pelos quatro lados d'elles; não se viravam quando andavam.
18 As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round about them four.
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 living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.
E, andando os animaes, andavam as rodas ao pé d'elles; e, elevando-se os animaes da terra, elevavam-se tambem as rodas.
20 Wherever the spirit was to go, they went, thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
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 those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
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 likeness of the firmament on the heads of the living creature was as the color of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above.
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 under the firmament were their wings straight, the one toward the other: every one had two, which covered on this side, and every one had two, which covered on that side, 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, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of an host: when they stood, they let down 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 voice from the firmament that was over their heads, when they stood, and had let down 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 above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and on the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above on 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 saw as the color of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about.
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 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 on my face, and I heard a voice of one that spoke.
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.
