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.
E aconteceu que aos trinta anos, no quarto mes, no dia quinto do mes, estando eu no meio dos cativos, junto ao rio Chebar, se abriram os céus, e eu vi visões de Deus.
2 On the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of the exile of king Jehoyachin,
No quinto dia do mês (que foi no quinto ano do cativeiro do rei Joachim),
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.
Veio expressamente a palavra do Senhor a Ezequiel, filho de Buzi, o sacerdote, na terra dos caldeus, junto ao rio de Chebar, e ali esteve sobre ele a mão do Senhor.
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.
Então vi, e eis que um vento tempestuoso vinha do norte, uma grande nuvem, e um fogo revolvendo-se nela, e um resplandor ao redor dela, e no meio dela havia uma coisa como de cor de âmbar, que saía do meio do fogo.
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.
E do meio dela saía a semelhança de quatro animais; e esta era a sua aparência: Tinham a semelhança de homens.
6 And every one had four faces, and every one of them had four wings.
E cada um tinha quatro rostos, como também cada um deles quatro asas.
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.
E os seus pés eram pés direitos; e as plantas dos seus pés como a planta do pé de uma bezerra, e luziam como a cor de cobre abrazado.
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.
E tinham mãos de homem debaixo das suas asas, aos quatro lados; e assim todos quatro tinham seus rostos e suas asas.
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.
Uniam-se as suas asas uma à outra: não se viravam quando iam, e cada qual andava diante do seu rosto.
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.
E a semelhança dos seus rostos era como o rosto de homem; e à mão direita todos os quatro tinham rosto de leão, e à mão esquerda todos os quatro tinham rosto de boi; e rosto de águia todos os quatro.
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.
E os seus rostos e as suas asas estavam divididas por cima: cada qual tinha duas asas juntas uma à outra, e duas cobriam os corpos deles.
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.
E cada qual andava diante do seu rosto; para onde o espírito havia de ir, iam; não se viravam quando andavam.
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.
E, quanto à semelhança dos animais, o seu parecer era como de brazas de fogo ardentes, como uma aparência da alâmpadas: o fogo corria por entre os animais, e o fogo resplandecia, e do fogo saiam relâmpagos;
14 And the living creatures ran backward and forward like the appearance of a flash of lightning.
E os animais corriam, e tornavam, à semelhança dos relâmpagos.
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.
E vi os animais: e eis aqui uma roda na terra junto aos animais, para cada um dos seus quatro rostos.
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.
O aspecto das rodas, e a obra delas, era como cor de turqueza; e as quatro tinham uma mesma semelhança: e o seu aspecto, e a sua obra, era como se estivera uma roda no meio de outra roda.
17 Toward their four sides they went in their going: they turned not round in their going.
Andando elas, andavam pelos quatro lados deles; não se viravam quando andavam.
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.
E as suas costas eram tão altas, que metiam medo; e estas quatro tinham as suas costas cheias de olhos ao redor.
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.
E, andando os animais, andavam as rodas ao pé deles; e, elevando-se os animais da terra, elevavam-se também as rodas.
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.
Para onde o espírito havia de ir, iam; para lá havia o espírito de ir; e as rodas se elevavam defronte deles, porque o espírito de vida estava nas rodas.
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.
Andando eles, andavam elas, e, parando eles, paravam elas, e, elevando-se eles da terra, elevavam-se também as rodas defronte deles; porque o espírito dos animais estava nas rodas.
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.
E sobre as cabeças dos animais havia uma semelhança de firmamento, como um aspecto de cristal terrível, estendido por cima, sobre as suas cabeças.
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.
E debaixo do firmamento estavam as suas asas 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 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.
E, andando eles, ouvi o ruído das suas asas, com o ruído de muitas águas, como a voz do onipotente, a voz dum estrondo, como o estrépito de um exército: parando eles, abaixavam as suas asas.
25 And there was a voice from the vault that was over their head: when they stood still, they let down their wings.
E ouviu-se uma voz por cima do firmamento, que ficava por cima das suas cabeças: parando eles, abaixavam as suas asas.
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.
E por cima do firmamento, que ficava por cima das suas cabeças, havia uma semelhança de trono, como de uma safira; e sobre a semelhança do trono uma semelhança ao aspecto dum homem, que estava por cima, sobre ele.
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.
E vi como a cor de âmbar, como o aspecto do fogo pelo interior dele, desde o aspecto dos seus lombos, e daí para cima; e, desde o aspecto dos seus lombos e daí para baixo, vi como a semelhança do fogo, e um resplandor ao redor dele.
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.
Como o aspecto do arco que aparece na nuvem no dia da chuva, assim era o aspecto do resplandor em redor: este era o aspecto da semelhança da glória do Senhor: e, vendo-a eu, caí sobre o meu rosto, e ouvi a voz de quem falava.
