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.
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 On the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of the exile of king Jehoyachin,
В пятый день месяца это был пятый год от пленения царя Иоакима,
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.
Было слово Господне к Иезекиилю, сыну Вузия, священнику, в земле Халдейской, при реке Ховаре; и была на нем там рука Господня.
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.
И я видел, и вот, бурный ветер шел от севера, великое облако и клубящийся огонь, и сияние вокруг него,
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.
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 of them 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 glitter of burnished copper.
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 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.
И руки человеческие были под крыльями их, на четырех сторонах их;
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.
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 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.
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 spread out upward; every one had two 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 in the direction of one of his faces: whither the spirit was directed to go, they went; they turned not about in their going.
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 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.
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 backward and forward like the appearance of a flash of lightning.
И животные быстро двигались туда и сюда, как сверкает молния.
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.
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 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.
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 Toward their four sides they went in their going: they turned not round in their going.
Когда они шли, шли на четыре свои стороны; во время шествия не оборачивались.
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.
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 near to them: and when the living creatures lifted themselves up from the earth, the wheels lifted themselves up.
И когда шли животные, шли и колеса подле них; а когда животные поднимались от земли, тогда поднимались и колеса.
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.
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 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.
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 a vault was over the head of the living creatures, [shining] like the glitter of the purest 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 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.
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 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.
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 vault that was over their head: when they stood still, they let down their wings.
И голос был со свода, который над головами их; когда они останавливались, тогда опускали крылья свои.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
В каком виде бывает радуга на облаках во время дождя, такой вид имело это сияние кругом.
