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.
三十年四月五日，當我在革巴爾河畔，在俘虜之中的時候，天開了，我見了天主的異像，
2 In the fifth of the month—it is the fifth year of the expulsion of King Jehoiachin—
時在耶苛泥雅王充軍後第五年四月五日；
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.
那時在加色丁地，靠近革巴爾河，上主的話傳給步齊的兒子厄則克耳司祭，上主的手臨於我。
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.
我觀望，看，有一陣暴風由北方吹來，颳來一大塊火光四射的雲彩，雲中有一團旋轉的火，火中有一種發亮的金屬。
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,
火中似乎有四個活物的形狀，牠們的外表是這樣：都有人的形狀。
6 and each had four faces and each of them had four wings,
每個有四種形像，每個有四隻翅膀。
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;
牠們的腳是直立的腳，腳掌像牛蹄，發亮像磨光的銅。
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;
在牠們四面的翅膀下邊，都有人手；四個活物各有自己的形像和翅膀。
9 their wings [are] joining to one another, they do not turn around in their going, they each go straight forward.
牠們的翅膀互相連接，在行走時不必轉身，各朝著自己的前面行走。
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.
關於牠們外表的形像：牠們四個的正面都具有人的形像，右邊有獅的形像，左邊牛的形像，背面有鷹的形像。
11 And their faces and their wings dividing from above, of each [are] two joining together, and two are covering their bodies.
牠們的翅膀向上伸開，每個用兩隻翅膀互相連接，用兩隻翅膀遮蔽身體。
12 And they each go straight forward, to where the Spirit is to go, they go, they do not turn around in their going.
每個朝著自己的前面行走；神力催迫牠們往那裏去，牠們就往那裏去；行走時不必轉身。
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.
在活物中間有壹種相似燃著的炭火，又好似火炬在活物中旋轉。這火有亮光，由火中射出閃光。
14 And the living creatures are running, and turning back, as the appearance of the flash.
活物來回疾馳，好像閃電。
15 And I see the living creatures, and behold, one wheel [is] in the earth, near the living creatures, at its four faces.
我觀望那些活物時，看，靠近那些活物的四面，在地上各有一個輪子。
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.
那些輪子及其構造的外表，光澤有如橄欖石，四輪都有同樣的形狀。四輪結構的樣式，好像輪子套在輪子中。
17 On their four sides, in their going they go, they do not turn around in their going.
輪子轉動時，可向四方旋轉，前行時不必轉轍。
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.
輪輞高大，我看見四個輪輞都佈滿了眼睛。
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.
活物行走時，輪子也在牠們旁邊轉動；活物由地面升起時，輪子也升起。
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.
神力催迫活物往那裏去，牠們就往神力催迫的方向去；輪子也同時與牠們一起升起，因為活物的神力在輪子內。
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.
活物行走，輪子也轉動；活物站住，輪子也停住；活物由地上升起，輪子也隨之升起，因為活物的神力在輪子內。
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.
在活物的頭上，有相似穹蒼的東西，好像發亮的水晶，在牠們頭上展開。
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.
在穹蒼下伸直牠們的翅膀，一隻的翅膀與另一隻的翅膀彼此相接，又各有兩隻翅膀遮蔽著身體。
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.
當牠們行動時，我聽見翅膀的颯颯聲，像洪水之聲，又像全能者的聲音，又似軍營中的喧噪之聲。當牠們站住時，就歛起翅膀。
25 And there is a voice from above the expanse, that [is] above their head: in their standing they let their wings fall.
那時，由牠們頭頂上的穹蒼那裏，發出一種響聲；活物即站住，就歛起翅膀。
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.
在她們頭頂上的穹蒼上面，有一塊像藍玉的石頭，有寶座的形狀；在這狀如寶座之上，有一個外貌像人的坐在上頭。
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.
我望見在他相似腰部的上面，好像有發亮的金屬，內裏和周圍好像一團火。我又望見在相似腰部的下面，好像有火的形狀，周圍有光環繞，
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.
環繞在周圍的光，猶如落雨時雲彩中所出現的虹霓。這就是上主的光榮顯現時的奇象。我一看見，就伏地掩面，同時也聽見有一位講話的聲音。
