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.
Ary tamin’ ny andro fahadimy tamin’ ny volana fahefatra tamin’ ny taona fahatelo-polo, raha teo amin’ ny babo teo amoron’ ny ony Kebara aho, dia nisokatra ny lanitra, ka nahita fahitana avy tamin’ Andriamanitra aho.
2 In the fifth of the month—it is the fifth year of the expulsion of King Jehoiachin—
Tamin’ ny andro fahadimy tamin’ ny volana (taona fahadimy taorian’ ny namaboana an’ i Joiakina mpanjaka izany)
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.
dia tonga tamin’ i Ezekiela mpisorona, zanak’ i Bozy, ny tenin’ i Jehovah tany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Kaldeana, teo amoron’ ny ony Kebara; ary ny tànan’ i Jehovah dia taminy teo.
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.
Ary hitako fa, indro, nisy tafio-drivotra avy tany avaratra, dia rahona lehibe sy afo mifandrambondrambona, sady nisy namirapiratra manodidina azy; ary avy teo amin’ ny afo dia nisy toy ny volon’ ny metaly mamirapiratra.
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,
Ary teo aminy koa nisy toa endriky ny zava-manan’ aina efatra. Ary ny fikery azy dia hoatra ny endrik’ olona.
6 and each had four faces and each of them had four wings,
Ary samy nanana tarehy efatra sy elatra efatra avy izy.
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;
Ary mahitsy ny tongony; ary ny faladiany dia tahaka ny faladian’ ny ombilahy kely; ary mamirapiratra toy ny volon’ ny varahina manganohano izy.
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;
Ary nisy tanan’ olona teo ambanin’ ny elany teo amin’ ny lafiny efatra, ary samy nanana ny tarehiny sy ny elany avy izy efatra.
9 their wings [are] joining to one another, they do not turn around in their going, they each go straight forward.
Nifanendry ny elany; tsy niherika izy raha nandeha, fa samy nizotra tamin’ izay hitsiny avy izy rehetra.
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.
Ary ny toetry ny tarehiny dia tahaka ny tarehin’ olona; ary tamin’ ny ankavanany dia samy nanana ny tarehin’ ny liona izy efatra, ary tamin’ ny ankaviany dia samy nanana ny tarehin’ omby, ary samy nanana ny tarehin’ ny voromahery koa izy efatra.
11 And their faces and their wings dividing from above, of each [are] two joining together, and two are covering their bodies.
Ary ny tarehiny sy ny elany dia nisaraka hatreo ambony: samy nisy roa nifanendry tamin’ ny an’ ny namany, ary ny roa nanarona ny tenany.
12 And they each go straight forward, to where the Spirit is to go, they go, they do not turn around in their going.
Dia samy nizotra tamin’ izay hitsiny avy izy, ka na aiza na aiza no tian’ ny fanahy ho nalehany dia nalehany: tsy niherika izy raha nandeha.
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.
Ary tahaka ny vainafo mirehitra ny fijery ny zava-manan’ aina, dia tahaka ny fijery ny fanilo; nivoivoy teny anelanelan’ ny zava-manan’ aina ny afo; ary namirapiratra ny afo, sady nisy helatra nivoaka avy tao aminy.
14 And the living creatures are running, and turning back, as the appearance of the flash.
Ary ny zava-manan’ aina nifanaresaka nankary nankatsy toy ny helatra mifelopeloka.
15 And I see the living creatures, and behold, one wheel [is] in the earth, near the living creatures, at its four faces.
Ary hitako ny zava-manan’ aina, fa, indro, nisy kodia iray avy teo ambonin’ ny tany, teo anilan’ ny zava-manan’ aina teo anoloan’ ny tarehiny efatra.
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.
Ny tarehin’ ny kodia sy ny rafiny dia tahaka ny volon’ ny krysolita, ary nitovy endrika izy efatra, ary ny tarehiny sy ny rafiny dia toy ny kodia anatin’ ny kodia.
17 On their four sides, in their going they go, they do not turn around in their going.
Raha nandeha izy, dia nandeha tamin’ izay hitsin’ ny lafiny efatra: tsy niherika izy raha nandeha.
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.
Ary ny boriboriny manodidina azy dia avo sy mahatahotra, sady feno maso manodidina izy efatra.
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.
Ary raha nandeha ny zava-manan’ aina, dia nandeha teo anilany koa ny kodia; ary raha niainga tsy nipaka tamin’ ny tany ireo zava-manan’ aina, dia mba niainga koa ny kodia.
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.
Na aiza na aiza no tian’ ny fanahy ho naleha dia nalehan’ ireo koa; fa any koa no mba tian’ ny fanahy haleha, ary ny kodia dia niainga teo anilany; fa teo amin’ ny kodia ny fanahin’ ny zava-manan’ aina.
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.
Raha nandeha ireny, dia mba nandeha koa ireto; ary raha nijanona ireny, dia mba nijanona koa ireto; ary raha niainga tsy nipaka tamin’ ny tany ireny, dia mba niainga teo anilany koa ny kodia; fa ny fanahin’ ny zava-manan’ aina dia tao amin’ ny kodia.
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.
Ary teo ambonin’ ny lohan’ ny zava-manan’ aina dia nisy toa endriky ny eloelo, toy ny volon’ ny krystaly mahatahotra, mivelatra eo ambonin’ ny lohany.
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.
Ary nivelatra mahitsy sady nifanendry ny elany teo ambanin’ ny eloelo: samy nanan-droa avy izy rehetra, izay nanaronany ny tenany.
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.
Ary raha nandeha izy, dia nahare ny fikopakopaky ny elany aho, toy ny firohondrohon’ ny rano be, dia tahaka ny feon’ ny Tsitoha, dia feo toy ny fireondreon’ ny miaramila mitoby;
25 And there is a voice from above the expanse, that [is] above their head: in their standing they let their wings fall.
Ary nisy feo avy teo ambonin’ ny eloelo izay teo ambonin’ ny lohany; nony nijanona izy, dia namihina ny elany.
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.
Ary teo ambonin’ ny eloelo, izay teo ambonin’ ny lohany, dia nisy endriky ny seza fiandrianana mitovy volo amin’ ny vato safira; ary teo ambonin’ ny endriky ny seza fiandrianana dia nisy hoatra ny endrik’ olona.
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.
Ary nahita toy ny volon’ ny metaly mamirapiratra aho, dia hoatra ny tarehin’ ny afo manodidina azy; ary hatramin’ ny valahany no ho miakatra ka hatramin’ ny valahany no ho midìna dia hitako tahaka ny afo, ka nisy namirapiratra manodidina azy.
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.
Toy ny tarehin’ avana amin’ ny rahona amin’ ny andro nisy ranon’ orana no tarehin’ ny namirapiratra manodidina. Izany no fijery ny endriky ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah. Ary nony nahita izany aho, dia nikarapoka nihohoka ka nandre ny feon’ ny anankiray niteny.
