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 sucedeu que, aos trinta anos, no quarto [mês], aos cinco do mês, estando eu em meio dos exilados, junto ao rio Quebar, os céus se abriram, e vi visões de Deus.
2 On the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of the exile of king Jehoyachin,
Aos cinco do mês, que foi no quinto ano do cativeiro do rei Joaquim,
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.
verdadeiramente veio a palavra do SENHOR ao sacerdote Ezequiel, filho de Buzi, na terra dos caldeus, junto ao rio Quebar; e ali a mão do SENHOR esteve sobre ele.
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 olhei, e eis que um vento tempestuoso vinha do norte, uma grande nuvem, e um fogo incandescente, e ao seu redor um resplendor, e no meio do fogo uma coisa que parecia como de âmbar,
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 no meio dela havia a semelhança de quatro animais; e esta era sua aparência; eles tinham semelhança humana.
6 And every one had four faces, and every one of them had four wings.
E cada um tinha quatro rostos, e cada um 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 suas pernas eram retas, e a planta de seus pés como a planta de pé de bezerro; e reluziam como o bronze polido.
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 humanas debaixo de suas asas, em seus quatro lados; [assim] os 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.
Suas asas se juntavam umas às outras. Não viravam quando se moviam; cada um andava na direção de 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 aparência de seus rostos era [como] rosto de homem; e rosto de leão à direita nos quatro; e à esquerda rosto de boi nos quatro; também havia nos quatro um rosto de águia;
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.
[Assim] eram seus rostos. E suas asas estavam estendidas por cima, cada um duas, as quais se juntavam; e as outras duas cobriam seus corpos.
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 um se movia na direção de seu rosto; para onde o espírito se dirigia, eles iam; não viravam quando se moviam.
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.
Quanto à semelhança dos animais, sua aparência era como pedaços de carvão acesos, como aparência de tochas acesas; o fogo se movia entre os animais; e brilhava intensamente, e do fogo saíam relâmpagos.
14 And the living creatures ran backward and forward like the appearance of a flash of lightning.
E os animais corriam e voltavam, à semelhança de 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 enquanto eu estava vendo os animais, eis que uma roda estava na terra junto aos animais, junto a 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.
E a aparência das rodas, e sua feitura, era como da cor do berilo; e as quatro tinham uma mesma semelhança; sua aparência e sua obra era como se uma roda estivesse no meio de [outra] roda.
17 Toward their four sides they went in their going: they turned not round in their going.
Quando andavam, moviam-se sobre seus quatro lados; não viravam quando se moviam.
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 seus aros eram altos e espantosos; e seus aros estavam cheios de olhos ao redor das quatro [rodas].
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 quando os animais andavam, as rodas andavam junto a eles: e quando os animais se levantavam da terra, levantavam-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 queria ir, iam, para onde era o espírito ia; e as rodas [também] se levantavam com eles, pois o espírito dos animais 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.
Quando eles andavam, elas andavam; e quando eles paravam, elas paravam; e quando se levantavam da terra, as rodas se levantavam com eles; pois 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 algo semelhante a um firmamento, da cor de um cristal espantoso, estendido acima sobre 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 suas asas deles estendidas uma à outra; a cada um tinha duas, e outras duas com que cobriam seus corpos.
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 ouvi o ruído de suas asas quando se moviam, como o som de muitas águas, como a voz do Onipotente, o ruído de uma multidão, como o som de um exército. Quando paravam, abaixavam 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 quando se paravam e abaixavam suas asas, ouvia-se uma voz de cima do firmamento que estava sobre suas cabeças.
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 acima do firmamento que estava sobre suas cabeças, havia a figura de um trono, que parecia com a pedra de safira; e sobre a figura do trono havia uma semelhança que parecia com um homem sentado acima dele.
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 o que parecia com o bronze polido, com a aparência de fogo ao seu redor do lado de dentro, da aparência de sua cintura para cima; e de sua cintura para baixo, vi que parecia como fogo, e havia um resplendor 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.
Tal como a aparência do arco celeste, que surge nas nuvens em dia de chuva, assim era o aparência do resplendor ao redor. Esta foi a visão da semelhança da glória do SENHOR. E quando eu a vi, caí sobre meu rosto, e ouvi voz de um que falava.
