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.
Nan senkyèm jou, katriyèm mwa nan trantyèm lanne an, mwen menm Ezekyèl, mwen t'ap viv ansanm ak moun yo te depòte yo, bò larivyè Keba nan peyi Babilòn. Jou sa a, syèl la louvri devan je m', mwen wè Bondye nan yon vizyon.
2 In the fifth of the month—it is the fifth year of the expulsion of King Jehoiachin—
Wa Jojakin te gen senkan depi yo te depòte l'.
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.
Antan Ezekyèl, pitit Bouzi, yon prèt Bondye, te la bò larivyè Keba nan peyi Babilòn, li tande Seyè a pale avè l'. Li santi pouvwa Seyè a sou li.
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.
Mwen leve je m' gade, mwen wè yon gwo van tanpèt k'ap vini soti nan nò. Zèklè t'ap fè yanyan nan yon gwo nwaj. Syèl la te klere tout arebò nwaj la. Nan mitan nwaj la menm kote zèklè yo t'ap fèt la, te gen yon limyè ki te klere tankou kristal.
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,
Nan mitan van an, mwen wè kat bèt, ou ta di kat moun.
6 and each had four faces and each of them had four wings,
Yo chak te gen kat figi ak kat zèl.
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;
Janm yo te byen dwat, men pye yo te tankou zago bèf. Yo te klere tankou kwiv poli.
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;
Anba chak zèl te gen yon men moun. Konsa, yo chak te gen kat zèl, kat figi, kat men, yonn nan chak direksyon.
9 their wings [are] joining to one another, they do not turn around in their going, they each go straight forward.
De nan zèl yo te louvri nèt. Bèt yo menm te fè yon kare, pwent zèl yo kontre yonn ak lòt. Lè y'ap mache, yo deplase ansanm nan menm direksyon, san vire kò yo.
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.
Chak bèt te gen kat figi: yon figi moun sou devan, yon figi lyon sou bò dwat, yon figi bèf sou bò gòch ak yon figi malfini sou dèyè.
11 And their faces and their wings dividing from above, of each [are] two joining together, and two are covering their bodies.
Chak bèt te louvri de nan zèl yo, yo leve yo jouk pwent zèl yo kontre ak pwent zèl bèt ki te bò kote yo a. Yo te kouvri kò yo ak de lòt zèl yo.
12 And they each go straight forward, to where the Spirit is to go, they go, they do not turn around in their going.
Chak bèt t'ap gade nan tout kat direksyon yo. Konsa, yo te kapab mache ansanm pou y' ale kote Lespri Bondye a pouse yo ale a, san yo pa t' bezwen vire kò yo.
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.
Nan mitan bèt yo ou ta di yon gwo boukan dife ak gwo flanm tankou flanm bwa chandèl tou limen ki t'ap ale vini. Dife a te klere anpil, te gen zèklè ki t'ap soti ladan l'.
14 And the living creatures are running, and turning back, as the appearance of the flash.
Bèt yo menm t'ap kouri ale vini byen vit tankou zèklè.
15 And I see the living creatures, and behold, one wheel [is] in the earth, near the living creatures, at its four faces.
Mwen t'ap gade bèt yo, mwen wè kat wou k'ap woule atè, yonn bò yo chak.
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.
Tout wou yo te parèy, yo te klere tankou wòch krizolit. Ou ta di yo chak gen yon lòt wou menm gwosè pase an travè ladan yo,
17 On their four sides, in their going they go, they do not turn around in their going.
paske wou yo te ka woule nan direksyon kat pwen konpa yo san yo pa t' bezwen vire.
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.
Jant wou yo te byen gwo. Yo te kouvri ak je sou tout kò yo.
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.
Chak fwa bèt yo deplase, wou yo deplase tou ansanm ak yo. Si yo leve anlè, wou yo leve anlè tou.
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.
Bèt yo ale kote pou yo ale a. Wou yo fè tou sa bèt yo fè, paske se bèt yo ki t'ap kontwole wou yo.
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.
Bèt yo vanse, wou yo vanse tou. Bèt yo rete, wou yo rete tou. Bèt yo leve anlè, wou yo leve anlè tou, paske se bèt yo ki t'ap kontwole wou yo.
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.
Anwo tèt bèt yo, te gen yon bagay won an fòm yon gwo bòl bouch anba, ki te klere tankou kristal.
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.
Se anba gwo bòl la bèt yo te kanpe ak de zèl louvri ak pwent yo kontre ak pwent zèl bèt ki bò kote yo a. De lòt zèl yo te fèmen kouvri kò yo.
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.
Lè bèt yo t'ap vole, mwen tande zèl yo t'ap fè yon bri. Ou ta di bri lanmè a lè li move, osinon bri vwa Seyè a lè l'ap pale, oswa bri yon gwo lame. Lè yo sispann vole, yo kite zèl yo pandye.
25 And there is a voice from above the expanse, that [is] above their head: in their standing they let their wings fall.
Men ou te ka tande yon ti bri ki t'ap fèt anwo bòl kristal ki te anlè tèt yo a.
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.
Anwo bòl kristal ki te anlè tèt yo a, te gen yon bagay, ou ta di yon gwo fotèy fèt an wòch safi. Sou fotèy la, yon fòm te chita ou ta di yon moun.
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.
Depi nan ren l' moute, li te klere nan je m' tankou kwiv yo poli. Depi nan ren l' desann, ou ta di li te nan mitan yon gwo dife ki te klere tout kote l' te ye a.
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.
Li te nan mitan yon limyè tout koulè tankou lakansyèl yon jou lapli. Gwo bèl limyè sa a te fè m' konprann se Seyè a ki te parèt devan m'. Lè mwen wè sa, mwen tonbe sou de jenou m', tèt mwen bese jouk atè. Lèfini mwen tande yon vwa moun k'ap pale.
