Ezekiel 1
1 And it comes to pass, in the thirtieth year, in the fourth [month], on the fifth of the month, and I [am] in the midst of the expulsion by the river Chebar, the heavens have been opened, and I see visions of God.
I det tredivte År på den femte dag i den fjerde Måned da jeg var bandt de landflygtige ved Floden Kebar, skete det, at Himmelen åbnede sig, og jeg skuede Syner fra Gud.
2 In the fifth of the month—it is the fifth year of the expulsion of King Jehoiachin—
Den femte Dag i Måneden - det var det femte År efter at Kong Jojakin var bortført -
3 the word of YHWH has certainly been to Ezekiel son of Buzi the priest, in the land of the Chaldeans, by the river Chebar, and there is on him there a hand of YHWH.
kom HERRENs Ord til Præsten Ezekiel, Buzis Søn, i Kaldæernes Land ved Floden Kebar, og HERRENs Hånd kom over ham der.
4 And I look, and behold, a turbulent wind is coming from the north, a great cloud, and fire catching itself, and brightness to it all around, and out of its midst as the color of electrum, out of the midst of the fire.
Jeg skuede og se, et Stormvejr kom fra Nord, og en vældig Sky fulgte med, omgivet af Stråleglans og hvirvlende Ild, i hvis Midte det glimtede som funklende Malm.
5 And out of its midst [is] a likeness of four living creatures, and this [is] their appearance; a likeness of man [is] to them,
Midt i Ilden var der noget ligesom fire levende Væsener, og de så således ud: De havde et Menneskes Skikkelse;
6 and each had four faces and each of them had four wings,
men de havde hver fire Ansigter og fire Vinger;
7 and their feet [are] straight feet, and the sole of their feet [is] as a sole of a calf’s foot, and they are sparkling as the color of bright bronze;
deres Ben var lige og deres Fodsåler som en Kalvs; de skinnede som funklende Kobber, og deres Vingeslag var hurtigt;
8 and on their four sides [each had] hands of man under their wings; and [each] of the four had their faces and their wings;
der var Menneskehænder under Vingerne på alle fire Sider.
9 their wings [are] joining to one another, they do not turn around in their going, they each go straight forward.
De fire levende Væseners Ansigter vendte sig ikke, når de gik, men de gik alle lige ud".
10 As for the likeness of their faces, [each had] the face of a man, and toward the right the four had the face of a lion, and on the left the four had the face of an ox, and the four had the face of an eagle.
Ansigterne så således ud: De havde alle fire et Menneskeansigt fortil, et Løveansigt til højre, et Okseansigt til venstre og et Ørneansigt bagtil;
11 And their faces and their wings dividing from above, of each [are] two joining together, and two are covering their bodies.
Vingerne var på dem alle fire udbredt opad, således at to og to rørte hinanden, og to skjulte deres Legemer.
12 And they each go straight forward, to where the Spirit is to go, they go, they do not turn around in their going.
De gik alle lige ud; hvor Ånden vilde have dem hen gik de; de vendte sig ikke, når de gik.
13 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearances [are] as coals of fire—burning as the appearance of lamps; it is going up and down between the living creatures, and brightness [is] to the fire, and lightning is going forth out of the fire.
Midt imellem de levende Væsener var der noget som glødende Kul at se til, som Blus, der for hid og did imellem dem, og Ilden udsendte Stråleglans, og Lyn for ud derfra.
14 And the living creatures are running, and turning back, as the appearance of the flash.
Og Væsenerne løb frem og tilbage, som Lynglimt at se til
15 And I see the living creatures, and behold, one wheel [is] in the earth, near the living creatures, at its four faces.
Videre skuede jeg, og se, der var et Hjul på Jorden ved Siden af hvert af de fire levende Væsener;
16 The appearance of the wheels and their works [is] as the color of beryl, and the four of them had one likeness, and their appearances and their works [are] as it were the wheel in the midst of the wheel.
og Hjulene var at se til som funklende Krysolit; de så alle fire ens ud, og de var lavet således, at der i hvert Hjul var et andet Hjul;
17 On their four sides, in their going they go, they do not turn around in their going.
de kunde derfor gå til alle fire Sider; de vendte sig ikke, når de gik.
18 As for their rings, they are both high and fearful, and their rings, of the four of them, [are] full of eyes around them.
Videre skuede jeg, og se, der var Fælge på dem, og Fælgene var på dem alle fire rundt om fulde af Øjne.
19 And in the going of the living creatures, the wheels go beside them, and in the living creatures being lifted up from off the earth, the wheels are lifted up.
Og når de levende Væsener gik, gik også Hjulene ved Siden af, og når Væsenerne løftede sig fra Jorden, løftede også Hjulene sig;
20 To where the Spirit is to go, they go, there the Spirit [is] to go, and the wheels are lifted up alongside them, for a living spirit [is] in the wheels.
hvor Ånden vilde have dem hen, gik Hjulene, og de løftede sig samtidig, thi det levende Væsens Ånd var i Hjulene;
21 In their going, they go; and in their standing, they stand; and in their being lifted up from off the earth, the wheels are lifted up alongside them; for a living spirit [is] in the wheels.
når Væsenerne gik, gik også de; når de standsede, standsede også de, og når de løftede sig fra Jorden, løftede også Hjulene sig samtidig, thi det levende Væsens Ånd var i Hjulene.
22 And over the heads of the living creatures—a likeness of an expanse, as the color of the fearful ice, stretched out over their heads from above.
Oven over Væsenernes Hoveder var der noget ligesom en Himmelhvælving, funklende som Krystal, udspændt oven over deres Hoveder;
23 And under the expanse their wings [are] straight, one toward [its] sister; two [wings] of each are covering them, and two [wings] of each are covering their bodies.
og under Hvælvingen var deres Vinger udspændt, den ene mod den anden; hvert af dem havde desuden to, som skjulte deres Legemer.
24 And I hear the noise of their wings, as the noise of many waters, as the noise of the Mighty One, in their going—the noise of tumult, as the noise of a camp, in their standing they let their wings fall.
Og når de gik, lød Vingesuset for mig som mange Vandes Brus, som den Almægtiges Røst; det buldrede som en Hær.
25 And there is a voice from above the expanse, that [is] above their head: in their standing they let their wings fall.
Det drønede oven over Hvælvingen over deres Hoveder; men når de stod, sænkede de Vingerne.
26 And above the expanse that [is] over their head, as an appearance of a sapphire stone, [is] the likeness of a throne, and on the likeness of the throne a likeness, as the appearance of man on it from above.
Men oven over Hvælvingen over deres Hoveder var der noget som Safir at se til, noget ligesom en Trone, og på den, ovenover, var der noget ligesom et Menneske at se til.
27 And I see as the color of electrum, as the appearance of fire all around within it, from the appearance of His loins and upward; and from the appearance of His loins and downward, I have seen as the appearance of fire, and brightness [is] all around Him.
Og jeg skuede noget som funklende Malm fra det, der så ud som hans Hofter, og opefter; og fra det, der så ud som hans Hofter, og nedefter skuede jeg noget som Ild at se til; og Stråleglans omgav ham.
28 As the appearance of the bow that is in a cloud in a day of rain, so [is] the appearance of the brightness all around.
Som Regnbuen, der viser sig i Skyen på en Regnvejrsdag, var Stråleglansen om ham at se til. Således så HERRENs Herlighedsåbenbarelse ud. Da jeg skuede det, faldt jeg på mit Ansigt. Og jeg hørte en Røst, som talede.
