< 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.
第三十年四月の五日に我ケバル河の邊にてかの擄うつされたる者の中にをりしに天ひらけて我神の異象を見たり
2 In the fifth of the month—it is the fifth year of the expulsion of King Jehoiachin—
是ヱコニヤ王の擄ゆかれしより第五年のその月の五日なりき
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.
時にカルデヤ人の地に於てケバル河の邊にてヱホバの言祭司ブシの子エゼキエルに臨めりヱホバの手かしこにて彼の上にあり
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.
我見しに視よ烈き風大なる雲および燃る火の團塊北より出きたる又雲の周圍に輝光ありその中よりして火の中より熱たる金族のごときもの出づ
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,
其火の中に四箇の生物にて成る一箇の形あり其狀は是のごとし即ち人の象あり
6 and each had four faces and each of them had four wings,
各四の面あり各四の翼あり
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;
その足は直なる足その足の跖は犢牛の足の跖のごとくにして磨ける銅のごとくに光れり
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;
その生物の四方に翼の下に人の手ありこの四箇の物皆面と翼あり
9 their wings [are] joining to one another, they do not turn around in their going, they each go straight forward.
その翼はたがひに相つらなれりその往ときに回轉ずして各その面の向ふところに行く
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.
その面の形は人の面のごとし四箇の者右には獅子の面あり四箇の者左には牛の面あり又四箇の者鷲の面あり
11 And their faces and their wings dividing from above, of each [are] two joining together, and two are covering their bodies.
その面とその翼は上にて分るその各箇の翼二箇は彼と此と相つらなり二箇はその身を覆ふ
12 And they each go straight forward, to where the Spirit is to go, they go, they do not turn around in their going.
各箇その面の向ふところへ行き靈のゆかんとする方に行く又行にまはることなし
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.
その生物の形は爇る炭の火のごとく松明のごとし火生物の中に此彼に行き火輝きてその火の中より電光いづ
14 And the living creatures are running, and turning back, as the appearance of the flash.
その生物奔りて電光の如くに往來す
15 And I see the living creatures, and behold, one wheel [is] in the earth, near the living creatures, at its four faces.
我生物を觀しに生物の近邊にあたりてその四箇の面の前に地の上に輪あり
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.
其輪の形と作は黄金色の玉のごとしその四箇の形は皆同じその形と作は輪の中に輪のあるがごとくなり
17 On their four sides, in their going they go, they do not turn around in their going.
その行く時は四方に行く行にまはることなし
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.
その輪輞は高くして畏懼かり輪輞は四箇ともに皆遍く目あり
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.
生物の行く時は輪その傍に行き生物地をはなれて上る時は輪もまた上る
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.
凡て靈のゆかんとする所には生物その靈のゆかんとする方に往く輪またその傍に上る是生物の靈輪の中にあればなり
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.
此の行く時は彼もゆき此の止る時は彼も止り此地をはなれて上る時は輪も共にあがる是生物の靈輪の中にあればなり
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.
生物の首の上に畏しき水晶のごとき穹蒼ありてその首の上に展開る
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.
穹蒼の下に其翼直く開きて此と彼とあひ連る又各二箇の翼ありその各の二箇の翼此方彼方にありて身をおほふ
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.
我その行く時の羽聲を聞に大水の聲のごとく全能者の聲のごとし其聲音の響は軍勢の聲のごとしその立どまる時は翼を垂る
25 And there is a voice from above the expanse, that [is] above their head: in their standing they let their wings fall.
その首の上なる穹蒼の上より聲ありその立どまる時は翼を垂る
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.
首の上なる穹蒼の上に靑玉のごとき寶位の狀式ありその寶位の狀式の上に人のごとき者在す、
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.
又われその中と周圍に磨きたる銅のごとく火のごとくなる者を見る其人の腰より上も腰より下も火のごとくに見ゆ其周圍に輝光あり
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.
その周圍の輝光は雨の日に雲にあらはるる虹のごとしヱホバの榮光かくのごとく見ゆ我これを見て俯伏したるに語る者の聲あるを聞く
