Ezekiel 1
1 And it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I was in the midst of the exiles by the river Kebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw divine visions.
| وَحَدَثَ فِي الْيَوْمِ الْخَامِسِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الرَّابِعِ الْعِبْرِيِّ، فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّلاثِينَ، فِيمَا كُنْتُ بَيْنَ الْمَسْبِيِّينَ بِجُوَارِ نَهْرِ خَابُورَ، أَنِ انْفَتَحَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ فَشَاهَدْتُ رُؤَى مِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ. | ١ |
2 On the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of the exile of king Jehoyachin,
| فِي الْيَوْمِ الْخَامِسِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ، فِي السَّنَةِ الْخَامِسَةِ لِسَبْيِ الْمَلِكِ يُويَاكِينَ، | ٢ |
3 Came the word of the Lord expressly unto Ezekiel the son of Buzi, the priest, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Kebar; and there came upon him there the inspiration of the Lord.
| أَوْحَى الرَّبُّ إِلَى حِزْقِيَالَ الْكَاهِنِ ابْنِ بُوزِي عِنْدَ جُوَارِ نَهْرِ خَابُورَ، فِي دِيَارِ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ، إِذْ كَانَتْ عَلَيَّ يَدُ الرَّبِّ، | ٣ |
4 And I saw, and behold, a storm-wind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a flaming fire, and a brightness was on it round about; and out of the midst of it was like the glitter of amber, out of the midst of the fire.
| فَأَبْصَرْتُ رِيحاً عَاصِفَةً تَهُبُّ مِنَ الشِّمَالِ مَصْحُوبَةً بِسَحَابَةٍ هَائِلَةٍ، وَنَارٍ مُتَوَاصِلَةٍ مُتَوَهِّجَةٍ بِهَالَةٍ مُحِيطَةٍ مِنَ الضِّيَاءِ؛ وَمِنْ وَسَطِهَا يَتَأَلَّقُ مِثْلُ النُّحَاسِ اللّامِعِ الْبَارِقِ مِنْ وَسَطِ النَّارِ. | ٤ |
5 And out of the midst thereof [I saw] the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: They had the likeness of a man.
| وَمِنْ دَاخِلِهَا بَدَا شِبْهُ أَرْبَعَةِ كَائِنَاتٍ حَيَّةٍ تُمَاثِلُ فِي صُوَرِهَا شِبْهَ إِنْسَانٍ، | ٥ |
6 And every one had four faces, and every one of them had four wings.
| وَكَانَ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهَا أَرْبَعَةُ أَوْجُهٍ وَأَرْبَعَةُ أَجْنِحَةٍ. | ٦ |
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 glitter of burnished copper.
| وَكَانَتْ سِيقَانُهَا مُسْتَقِيمَةً، وَأَقْدَامُهَا مُشَابِهَةً لأَقْدَامِ الْعِجْلِ، وَهِيَ تُبْرِقُ كَبَرِيقِ النُّحَاسِ الْمَصْقُولِ. | ٧ |
8 And hands of man [were visible] from beneath their wings on their four sides: and their faces and their wings [were alike] on all these four.
| وَتَحْتَ أَجْنِحَتِهَا الْقَائِمَةِ عَلَى جَوَانِبِهَا الأَرْبَعَةِ، أَيْدِي بَشَرٍ، وَكَانَ لِكُلِّ كَائِنٍ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْكَائِنَاتِ الأَرْبَعَةِ أَجْنِحَةٌ وَأَوْجُهٌ. | ٨ |
9 Their wings were joined one to the other: they turned not about in their going; they went every one in the direction of one of their faces.
| وَكَانَتْ أَجْنِحَتُهَا تَتَلامَسُ، وَأَوْجُهُهَا لَا تَدُورُ عِنْدَ سَيْرِهَا، بَلْ يَسِيرُ كُلٌّ مِنْهَا وَوَجْهُهُ مُتَّجِهٌ إِلَى الأَمَامِ. | ٩ |
10 And the likeness of their faces was the face of a man; and the face of a lion, on the right side for all four of them; and the face of an ox on the left side for all four of them; and the face of an eagle for all four of them.
| أَمَّا أَشْكَالُ أَوْجُهِهَا، فَكَانَ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهَا وَجْهُ إِنْسَانٍ، يُحَاذِيهِ إِلَى الْيَمِينِ وَجْهُ أَسَدٍ، وَإِلَى الشِّمَالِ وَجْهُ ثَوْرٍ، ثُمَّ إِلَى جُوَارِهِ وَجْهُ نَسْرٍ. | ١٠ |
11 Thus were their faces: and their wings were spread out upward; every one had two joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.
| كَانَتْ هَذِهِ أَشْكَالَ أَوْجُهِهَا. وَكَانَ لِكُلٍّ مِنْهَا أَرْبعَةُ أَجْنِحَةٍ تَمْتَدُّ مِنْ وَسَطِ الظَّهْرِ: اثْنَانِ يَتَّصِلُ طَرَفُ كُلٍّ مِنْهُمَا بِطَرَفِ جَنَاحِ الْكَائِنِ الآخَرِ، وَاثْنَانِ يَسْتُرَانِ أَجْسَامَهُمَا. | ١١ |
12 And they went every one in the direction of one of his faces: whither the spirit was directed to go, they went; they turned not about in their going.
| وَكَانَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهَا يَتَّجِهُ إِلَى الأَمَامِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَدُورَ، فَحَيْثُمَا يَتَوَجَّهُ الرُّوحُ يَتَوَجَّهُونَ هُمْ أَيْضاً. | ١٢ |
13 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like coals of fire, burning as with the appearance of torches; this [fire] it was which passed along between the living creatures: and a brightness was about the fire, and out of the fire went forth lightning.
| أَمَّا مَنْظَرُ الْكَائِنَاتِ الْحَيَّةِ هَذِهِ فَكَانَ كَجَمَرَاتِ نَارٍ مُتَّقِدَةٍ، أَوْ مَشَاعِلَ تَجُوزُ جِيئَةً وَذَهَاباً بَيْنَ الْكَائِنَاتِ الْحَيَّةِ. وَكَانَتِ النَّارُ مُضِيئَةً يَلْمَعُ مِنْهَا وَمِيضُ بَرْقٍ. | ١٣ |
14 And the living creatures ran backward and forward like the appearance of a flash of lightning.
| وَالْكَائِنَاتُ الْحَيَّةُ تَتَرَاكَضُ ذِهَاباً وَإِيَاباً فِي سُرْعَةِ لَمْحِ الْبَرْقِ. | ١٤ |
15 And I looked on the living creatures, and, behold, there was one wheel upon the earth close by the living creatures, by their four front faces.
| وَفِيمَا كُنْتُ أَتَأَمَّلُ فِي الْكَائِنَاتِ الْحَيَّةِ، إِذَا بِي أُشَاهِدُ أَرْبَعَ عَجَلاتٍ، عَجَلَةٍ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ الْكَائِنَاتِ الْحَيَّةِ. | ١٥ |
16 The appearance of the wheels and their work was like the color of a chrysolite; and all four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as though it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel.
| أَمَّا شَكْلُ الْعَجَلاتِ وَصَنْعَتُهَا فَكَانَ كَمِثْلِ الزَّبَرْجَدِ، وَهِيَ مُتَشَابِهَةُ الصُّورَةِ. وَكَانَ مَنْظَرُهَا وَصَنْعَتُهَا كَأَنَّهَا عَجَلَةٌ دَاخِلَ عَجَلَةٍ. | ١٦ |
17 Toward their four sides they went in their going: they turned not round in their going.
| وَإذَا سَارَتْ فَإِنَّهَا تَسِيرُ فِي أَيٍّ مِنَ الاتِّجَاهَاتِ الأَرْبَعَةِ إِلَى الأَمَامِ، مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ تَتَحَوَّلَ عَنِ اتِّجَاهِهَا. | ١٧ |
18 As for their circumferences, they were so high that they excited fear: and their felloes were full of eyes round about on all these four.
| أَمَّا أُطُرُهَا فَعَالِيَةٌ وَهَائِلَةٌ، وَجَمِيعُهَا مَلأَى بِالْعُيُونِ. | ١٨ |
19 And when the living creatures went, the wheels went near to them: and when the living creatures lifted themselves up from the earth, the wheels lifted themselves up.
| وَكُلَّمَا تَتَحَرَّكُ الْكَائِنَاتُ الْحَيَّةُ، تَتَحَرَّكُ مَعَهَا الْعَجَلاتُ، وَكُلَّمَا تَرْتَفِعُ عَنِ الأَرْضِ تَرْتَفِعُ مَعَهَا الْعَجَلاتُ أَيْضاً. | ١٩ |
20 Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went; [for] thither was [their] spirit to go: and the wheels lifted themselves up at the same time with them; for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
| وَحَيْثُمَا يَتَوَجَّهُ الرُّوحُ تَتَوَجَّهُ أَيْضاً، وَتَرْتَفِعُ مَعَهَا عَجَلاتُهَا، لأَنَّ رُوحَ الْكَائِنَاتِ الْحَيَّةِ سَارٍ أَيْضاً فِي الْعَجَلاتِ. | ٢٠ |
21 When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those lifted themselves up from the earth, the wheels lifted themselves up at the same time with them; for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
| فَإِنْ سَارَتْ هَذِهِ تَسِيرُ تِلْكَ، وَإِنْ تَوَقَّفَتْ تَتَوَقَّفُ، لأَنَّ رُوحَ الْكَائِنَاتِ الْحَيَّةِ سَارٍ فِي الْعَجَلاتِ أَيْضاً. | ٢١ |
22 And the likeness of a vault was over the head of the living creatures, [shining] like the glitter of the purest crystal, stretched forth over their heads above.
| وَانْبَسَطَ فَوْقَ رُؤُوسِ الْكَائِنَاتِ الْحَيَّةِ جَلَدٌ يُشْبِهُ الْبِلَّوْرَ الْمُتَلألِئَ الْهَائِلَ. | ٢٢ |
23 And under the vault their wings were straight, the one toward the other: every one had two, which covered them, and every one had two, which covered them, —[namely, ] their bodies.
| وَامْتَدَّتْ أَجْنِحَتُهَا تَحْتَ الْجَلَدِ بِاسْتِقَامَةٍ، الْوَاحِدُ نَحْوَ الآخَرِ. لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهَا جَنَاحَانِ يَسْتُرَانِ جِسْمَهُ مِنَ الْجَانِبَيْنِ. | ٢٣ |
24 And I heard the sound of their wings, like the sound of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, when they went, the sound of [their] speech, as the noise of an army: when they stood still, they let down their wings.
| وَعِنْدَمَا سَارَتْ سَمِعْتُ رَفْرَفَةَ أَجْنِحَتِهَا كَهَدِيرِ مِيَاهٍ غَزِيرَةٍ، كَصَوْتِ الْقَدِيرِ، كَصَوْتِ جَلَبَةِ جَيْشٍ، وَعِنْدَ تَوَقُّفِهَا كَانَتْ تُرْخِي أَجْنِحَتَهَا. | ٢٤ |
25 And there was a voice from the vault that was over their head: when they stood still, they let down their wings.
| وَصَدَرَ صَوْتٌ مِنْ فَوْقِ الْجَلَدِ الْمُنْبَسِطِ عَلَى رُؤُوسِهَا. وَحِينَ تَتَوَقَّفُ كَانَتْ تُرْخِي أَجْنِحَتَهَا. | ٢٥ |
26 And above the vault that was over their head was like the appearance of a sapphire-stone, the likeness of a throne: and upon the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it.
| وَانْتَصَبَ فَوْقَ الْجَلَدِ الْمُنْبَسِطِ عَلَى رُؤُوسِهَا شِبْهُ عَرْشٍ، مَنْظَرُهُ كَحَجَرِ اللازَوَرْدِ. وَيَجْلِسُ عَلَى شِبْهِ العَرْشِ مِنْ فَوْقُ مَنْ هُوَ كَشِبْهِ إِنْسَانٍ. | ٢٦ |
27 And I saw as if it were the glitter of amber, as the appearance of fire within it round about, from the appearance of his loins upward; and from the appearance of his loins downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about.
| وَرَأَيْتُ مَا يَبْدُو مِنْ حَقْوَيْهِ فَمَا فَوْقُ وَكَأَنَّهُ نُحَاسٌ لامِعٌ يَتَوَهَّجُ فِي دَاخِلِهِ وَحَوَالَيْهِ. أَمَّا مَا يَبْدُو مِنْ حَقْوَيْهِ وَمَا تَحْتُ، فَكَأَنَّهُ نَارٌ، وَحَوَالَيْهَا يَشِعُّ بِالضِّيَاءِ. | ٢٧ |
28 Like the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud on 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 the voice of one that spoke.
| وَكَانَ مَنْظَرُ اللَّمَعَانِ الْمُحِيطِ بِهِ كَمَنْظَرِ قَوْسِ قُزَحٍ فِي يَوْمٍ مَطِيرٍ؛ هَكَذَا كَانَ مَنْظَرُ شِبْهِ مَجْدِ الرَّبِّ. وَعِنْدَمَا أَبْصَرْتُ خَرَرْتُ عَلَى وَجْهِي وَسَمِعْتُ صَوْتاً يَتَكَلَّمُ. | ٢٨ |
