< 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.
EIA keia, i ke kanakolu o ka makahiki, i ka malama ha, i ka la alima o ka mahina, e noho ana au iwaena o ka poe pio ma ka muliwai o Kebara, hamama mai la ka lani, a ike aku la au i na hihio o ke Akua.
2 In the fifth of the month—it is the fifth year of the expulsion of King Jehoiachin—
I ka la alima o ka malama, oia ka lima o ka makahiki o ke pio ana o ke alii o Iehoiakima,
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.
Hiki maopopo mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia Ezekiela ke keiki a Buzi i ke kahuna ma ka aina o Kaledea, ma ka muliwai Kebara; a malaila i kau mai ai ka lima o Iehova maluna iho ona.
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.
Nana aku la an, aia hoi he puahiohio e hele mai ana mai ke kukulu akau mai, he ao nui, a me ke ahi e pakaawili ana ia ia iho, he olinolino a puui ia, a mai waenakonu ona e like i ka nana aku rae ke keleawe olinolino mai loko mai o ke ahi.
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,
A mai waenakonu mai ona ka like ana o na mea ola eha: eia ko lakou ano, he ano like me ko ke kanaka ko lakou.
6 and each had four faces and each of them had four wings,
Papaha ko lakou mau helehelena, a papaha ko lakou mau eheu.
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;
O ko lakou mau wawae, he mau wawae pololei, a o ka manea o ko lakou mau wawae, ua like ia me ka manea o ka wawae o ke keiki bipi: olinolino mai la lakou e like me ke keleawe i hoohualiia i ka nana aku.
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;
He mau lima kanaka ko lakou malalo iho o ko lakou mau eheu, ma na aoao eha; no lakou hoi ko lakou mau helehelena a me ko lakou mau eheu.
9 their wings [are] joining to one another, they do not turn around in their going, they each go straight forward.
O ko lakou mau eheu ua hui pu kekahi me kekahi; aole i haliu ae i ko lakou hele ana, hele pololei lakou kela mea keia mea mamua.
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.
A o ka like ana o ko lakou mau helehelena, he helehelena no ke kanaka a me ka helehelena o ka liona ko lakou a eha ma ka aoao akau, a me ka helehelena o ka bipikauo ma ka aoao hema; a o ka helehelena o ka aeto ko lakou a eha.
11 And their faces and their wings dividing from above, of each [are] two joining together, and two are covering their bodies.
Pela ko lakou mau helehelena; a kikoo aku ko lakou mau eheu maluna; ua hui na eheu elua o kela mea keia mea, a ua uhi na eheu elua i ko lakou mau kino.
12 And they each go straight forward, to where the Spirit is to go, they go, they do not turn around in their going.
Hele pololei ae lakou mamua kela mea keia mea: ma kahi e hele ai ka uhane, malaila lakou i hele ai: aole lakou i haliu ae i ko lakou hele ana.
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.
A o ka helehelena like ana o na mea ola, ua like ko lakou ano i ka nana aku me na lanahu ahi e a ana, a me na ipukukui; hele ia iwaena o na mea ola; olinolino ke ahi, a mailoko aku o ke ahi i puka ai ka uwila.
14 And the living creatures are running, and turning back, as the appearance of the flash.
A holo aku la na mea ola a hoi mai la me he anapu ana la o ka uwila i ka nana aku.
15 And I see the living creatures, and behold, one wheel [is] in the earth, near the living creatures, at its four faces.
A i ko'u nana ana'ku i na mea ola, aia hoi, o ka huila hookahi ma ka honua e pili ana i na mea ola, me kona mau aoao eha.
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.
O ke ano o na huila, a me ko lakou hanaia'na ua like me ka topasa i ka nana aku, hookahi ano ko lakou eha: a o ko lakou ano i ka nana aku a me ko lakou hanaia'na, me he huila la iloko o kekahi huila.
17 On their four sides, in their going they go, they do not turn around in their going.
I ko lakou hele ana, hele lakou ma ko lakou mau aoao eha, aole i haliu ae i ko lakou hele ana.
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.
A o ko lakou mau apo, ua kiekie lakou he mea weliweli, a ua paapu ko lakou mau apo i na maka, a puni lakou a eha.
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.
A hele na mea ola, hele pu ae la na huila ma ka pili o lakou, a kaikaiia'ku na mea ola mai ka honua aku, kaikaiia aku no hoi na huila.
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.
Aia ma kahi e hele ai ka uhane, malaila lakou i hele ai, malaila e hele ai ka uhane, ua kaikai pu ia na huila me lakou; no ka mea, maloko o na hulla ka uhane o ka mea ola.
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.
A hele kela mau mea, hele hoi keia mau mea, a ku kela mau mea, ku no hoi keia mau mea; a i ka wa i kaikaiia'ku kela mau mea mai ka honua aku, alaila kaikai pu ia na huila me lakou, no ka mea, maloko o na huila ka uhane o ka mea ola.
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.
A o ka like ana o ka lani maluna o na poo o na mea ola ua like ia i ka nana aku me ke aniani weliweli, i hoholaia maluna o ko lakou mau poo iluna.
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.
A malalo ae o ka lani, pololei no ko lakou mau eheu ku pono kekahi i kekahi; elua ko kekahi me ko kekahi i uhi ma keia aoao, a elua hoi ko kekahi me ko kekahi i uhi ma kela aoao o ko lakou mau kino.
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.
A i ko lakou helo ana, lohe aku la au i ka halulu ana o ko lakou mau eheu e like me ka halulu ana o na wai he nui no, me he leo la o ka Mea mana loa; ka leo o ka halulu e like me ka leo o ka puali kaua; a ku lakou, kuu iho la lakou i ko lakou mau eheu ilalo.
25 And there is a voice from above the expanse, that [is] above their head: in their standing they let their wings fall.
A he leo no mai ka lani mai iluna o ko lakou mau poo, i ka wa i ku ai lakou, a ua kuu iho ko lakou mau eheu.
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.
A maluna o ka lani iluna o ko lakou mau poo, he mea like me ka nohoalii, me he pohaku sapire la i ka nana aku; a maluna o ka mea like me ka nohoalii, he mea like me ke kanaka maluna iho ona i ka nana aku.
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.
A ike aku la au i ka mea like me ke keleawe olinolino, i ka nana aku, e like me ke ahi i ka nana aku a puni iloko, mai ka ikea ana o kona puhaka, a maluna aku, a mai ka ikea ana o kona puhaku ilalo, ike aku la au i ka mea like me ke ahi i ka nana aku, a he olinolino kona a puni.
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.
E like me ke ano o ke anuenue iloko o ke ao i ka la ua, pela ke ano o ka olinolino a puni i ka nana aku. Oia ka mea ikeia o ke ano o ka nani o Iehova. A ike au, moe iho la au ilalo ke alo, a lohe au i ka leo o kekahi e olelo ana:
