< Jezekiel 1 >

1 Now it came to pass in the thirties year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, that I was in the midst of the captivity by the river of Chobar; and the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
Aruithumnae kum, thapa yung pali, hnin panganae dawkvah, Kebar tui teng san lah kaawm e Judahnaw koe ka o navah, hettelah doeh. Kalvan a kamawng teh, Cathut e vision ka hmu.
2 On the fifth day of the month; this was the fifth year of the captivity of king Joakim.
Siangpahrang Jehoiakim e san lah ao nah kum, thapa yung pali, hnin panga hnin dawk,
3 And the word of the Lord came to Jezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans, by the river of Chobar; and the hand of the Lord was upon me.
Khaldean ram Kebar tui teng vah, Buzi capa vaihma Ezekiel koevah, BAWIPA e lawk karang poung lah a pha teh, hawvah BAWIPA e kut teh a lathueng vah ao.
4 And I looked, and, behold, a sweeping wind came from the north, and a great cloud on it, and [there was] brightness round about it, and gleaming fire, and in the midst of it as it were the appearance of amber in the midst of the fire, and brightness in it.
Ka khet teh atunglah hoi katang poung e kahlî kathout a tho e ka hmu. Ka raim poung e tâmai dawk hoi sumpapalik teh, atengpam pueng pheng a ang. Sumpapalik e palek ka ang e teh rahum patetlah ao.
5 And in the midst as it were the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; the likeness of a man was upon them.
Tâmai lungui vah moithang pali touh a kamnue awh. Hote moithangnaw e meilam teh, tami e meilam ka sin e hah a tâco.
6 And each one [had] four faces, and each one [had] four wings.
Minhmai pali touh hoi rathei pali touh rip a tawn awh.
7 And their legs were straight; and their feet were winged, and [there were] sparks, like gleaming brass, and their wings were light.
A khok teh kalanthoung niteh, Maito khokpatin patet e a tawn awh. Rahum loukloukkaang e patetlah a ang awh.
8 And the hand of a man was under their wings on their four sides.
Minhmai pali, rathei pali touh hloilah tami kut patetlah pali touh rip a tawn awh teh, rathei rahim lengkaleng ao.
9 And the faces of them four turned not when they went; they went everyone straight forward.
Moithang pali touh e naw ni, a rathei kadai awh nah a rathei dong hmo koung a kâbet. Rathei a kangdue teh, a kâroe awh nahai a tak kâroe laipalah a kâtahruet awh.
10 And the likeness of their faces was the face of a man, and the face of a lion on the right of the four; and the face of a calf on the left of the four; and the face of an eagle to the four.
Moithang pali touh ni minhmai pali touh rip a tawn awh. A hmalah tami e mei, aranglah sendek mei, avoilah maitotan mei, a hnuklah mataw mei a tawn awh.
11 And the four had their wings spread out above; each one [had] two joined to one another, and two covered their bodies.
Moithang pali touh ni a rathei kahni touh rip a kâhmo thai nahanlah a kadai awh teh, alouke hah a tak a ramuk nah aw.
12 And each one went straight forward: wherever the spirit was going they went, and turned not back.
Hmalah kalancalah a cei awh teh, muitha ni ceisak han a ngainae pueng koe a cei awh, a cei awh navah kamlang awh hoeh.
13 And in the midst of the living creatures [there was] an appearance as of burning coals of fire, as an appearance of lamps turning among the living creatures; and the brightness of fire, and out of the fire came forth lightning.
Moithangnaw e kâvannae teh, ka tawk e hmaito, moithangnaw rahak vah hnuklah hmalah ka cet e hmaito patetlah ao. Hmaito thung hoi sumpapalik.
Moithangnaw ni hai sumpapalik e patetlah hnuklah hmalah a kamlang awh teh a yawng awh.
15 And I looked, and, behold, the four [had each] one wheel on the ground near the living creatures.
Moithang pali touh ka khet lahun nah lengkhok hah Moithang pali touh teng vah talai dawk kaawm e hah ka hmu.
16 And the appearance of the wheels was as the appearance of beryl: and the four had one likeness: and their work was as it were a wheel in a wheel.
Lengkhoknaw a kamnuenae hoi a coungnae teh Beril talung phukaawm hoi a kâvan. Pali touh hoi a coungnae rei a kâvan awh teh, a meilam teh lengkhok buet touh thung buet touh mawp e patetlah ao.
17 They went on their four sides: they turned not as they went;
A kâtahruet navah a hmalah lengkaleng a cei awh teh, a cei awh navah kâhei laipalah a cei thai awh.
18 neither did their backs [turn]: and they were high: and I saw them, and the backs of them four were full of eyes round about.
Lengkhoknaw hai arasang teh taki a tho poung. Hote pali touh teh mit hoi king a kawi awh.
19 And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures lifted themselves off the earth, the wheels were lifted off.
Moithangnaw teh a cei awh navah, lengkhok ni a hnuk a kâbang awh teh, Moithangnaw hah talai dawk hoi tawm takhang lah ao navah, lengkhok hai a kâtawm.
20 Wherever the cloud happened to be, there was the spirit ready to go: the wheels went and were lifted up with them; because the spirit of life was in the wheels.
Muitha ni ceisak hane a ngainae tangkuem koe a cei awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, muitha hah haw vah a cei. Lengkhok teh amamouh hoi tawm lah ao awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Moithangnaw e muitha teh lengkhok dawk ao.
21 When those went, [the wheels] went; and when those stood, [the wheels] stood; and when those lifted themselves off the earth, they were lifted off with them: for the spirit of life was in the wheels.
Ahnimanaw a cei awh navah, lengkhoknaw hai a cei awh. Ahnimouh a kangdue navah, lengkhoknaw hai a kangdue. Ahnimouh talai hoi tawm lah ao navah, lengkhok hai ahnimouh koe tawm e lah ao. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Moithangnaw e muitha teh lengkhok dawk ao.
22 And the likeness over the heads of the living creatures was as a firmament, as the appearance of crystal, spread out over their wings above.
Moithangnaw e lû dawk khristal talung pangaw loukloukkaang e patetlah sak e kalvan ni a kalup.
23 And their wings were spread out under the firmament, reaching one to the other; two [wings] to each, covering their bodies.
Hote kalup e rahim vah, Moithangnaw a kangdue. Alawilah amamae tak a ramuk nahanelah rathei kahni touh a kadai. Alouke rathei kahni touh hoi a tak hah a ramuk awh.
24 And I heard the sound of their wings when they went, as the sound of much water: and when they stood, their wings were let down.
A kamleng awh nah a rathei takhawng pawlawk ka thai teh, tuipui tuicapa pawlawk hoi ransahu pawlawk patetlah tamimaya a hram e pawlawk hoi Athakasaipounge Cathut lawk patetlah ka thai teh, a kâhat nah a ratheinaw hah a cakuep awh.
25 And behold! a voice from above the firmament
A kâhat awh teh a ratheinaw a cakuep awh navah, ahnimae lû lathueng vah kalvan hoi lawk pou a tho.
26 that was over their head, [there was] as the appearance of a sapphire stone, [and] the likeness of a throne upon it: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as an appearance of a man above.
A lûnaw dawk kaawm e lathueng kalvan rasang dawk bawitungkhung patetlah sapphire talung aphu kaawm e patetlah ka kamnuek e ao. Haw e bawitungkhung patetlah kaawm e dawkvah, tami hoi kâvan e ao.
27 And I saw as it were the resemblance of amber from the appearance of the loins and upwards, and from the appearance of the loins and under I saw an appearance of fire, and the brightness thereof round about.
A keng lathueng lah dingyinnaw patetlah loukloukkaang e ka hmu. keng koehoi a rahim lae teh, hmaisaan patetlah ka hmu, petkâkalup lah koung a ang.
28 As the appearance of the bow when it is in the cloud in days of rain, so was the form of brightness round about.
Kho a rak hnin e tâmai dawk e salumpa kamnuek e patetlah a tengpam angnae a kamnuenae ao. Ka hmu navah, pakhup lah ka rawp teh lawk kadeikung e lawk hah ka thai.
