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.
И было в тридцатый год, в четвертый месяц, в пятый день месяца, когда я находился среди переселенцев при реке Ховаре, отверзлись небеса, и я видел видения Божии.
2 In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin’s captivity,
В пятый день месяца это был пятый год от пленения царя Иоакима,
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.
Было слово Господне к Иезекиилю, сыну Вузия, священнику, в земле Халдейской, при реке Ховаре; и была на нем там рука Господня.
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.
И я видел, и вот, бурный ветер шел от севера, великое облако и клубящийся огонь, и сияние вокруг него,
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.
а из средины его как бы свет пламени из средины огня; и из средины его видно было подобие четырех животных, - и таков был вид их: облик их был, как у человека;
6 And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings.
И у каждого четыре лица, и у каждого из них четыре крыла;
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.
а ноги их - ноги прямые, и ступни ног их - как ступня ноги у тельца, и сверкали, как блестящая медь, и крылья их легкие.
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.
И руки человеческие были под крыльями их, на четырех сторонах их;
9 Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward.
и лица у них и крылья у них - у всех четырех; крылья их соприкасались одно к другому; во время шествия своего они не оборачивались, а шли каждое по направлению лица своего.
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.
Подобие лиц их - лице человека и лице льва с правой стороны у всех их четырех; а с левой стороны лице тельца у всех четырех и лице орла у всех четырех.
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.
И лица их и крылья их сверху были разделены, но у каждого два крыла соприкасались одно к другому, а два покрывали тела их.
12 And they went every one straight forward: where the spirit was to go, they went; and they turned not when they went.
И шли они, каждое в ту сторону, которая пред лицoм его; куда дух хотел идти, туда и шли; во время шествия своего не оборачивались.
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.
И вид этих животных был как вид горящих углей, как вид лампад; огонь ходил между животными, и сияние от огня и молния исходила из огня.
14 And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.
И животные быстро двигались туда и сюда, как сверкает молния.
15 Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel on the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces.
И смотрел я на животных, и вот, на земле подле этих животных по одному колесу перед четырьмя лицами их.
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.
Вид колес и устроение их - как вид топаза, и подобие у всех четырех одно; и по виду их и по устроению их казалось, будто колесо находилось в колесе.
17 When they went, they went on their four sides: and they turned not when they went.
Когда они шли, шли на четыре свои стороны; во время шествия не оборачивались.
18 As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round about them four.
А ободья их - высоки и страшны были они; ободья их у всех четырех вокруг полны были глаз.
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.
И когда шли животные, шли и колеса подле них; а когда животные поднимались от земли, тогда поднимались и колеса.
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.
Куда дух хотел идти, туда шли и они; куда бы ни пошел дух, и колеса поднимались наравне с ними, ибо дух животных был в колесах.
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.
Когда шли те, шли и они; и когда те стояли, стояли и они; и когда те поднимались от земли, тогда наравне с ними поднимались и колеса, ибо дух животных был в колесах.
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.
Над головами животных было подобие свода, как вид изумительного кристалла, простертого сверху над головами их.
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.
А под сводом простирались крылья их прямо одно к другому, и у каждого были два крыла, которые покрывали их, у каждого два крыла покрывали тела их.
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.
И когда они шли, я слышал шум крыльев их, как бы шум многих вод, как бы глас Всемогущего, сильный шум, как бы шум в воинском стане; а когда они останавливались, опускали крылья свои.
25 And there was a voice from the firmament that was over their heads, when they stood, and had let down their wings.
И голос был со свода, который над головами их; когда они останавливались, тогда опускали крылья свои.
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.
А над сводом, который над головами их, было подобие престола по виду как бы из камня сапфира; а над подобием престола было как бы подобие человека вверху на нем.
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.
И видел я как бы пылающий металл, как бы вид огня внутри него вокруг; от вида чресл его и выше и от вида чресл его и ниже я видел как бы некий огонь, и сияние было вокруг него.
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.
В каком виде бывает радуга на облаках во время дождя, такой вид имело это сияние кругом.
