< Ezekiel 1 >

1 Now it happened in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth of the month, as I was among the captives by the river Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
तिसौं वर्षको चौथो महिनाको पाँचौं दिनमा जब म निर्वासितसँग कबार नहरको किनारमा बसिरहँदा यस्‍तो भयो । आकाश खोलियो र मैले परमेश्‍वरका दर्शनहरू देखें ।
2 In the fifth of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity,
त्‍यस महिनाको पाँचौं दिनमा— यहोयाकीन राजा निर्वासित भएको यो पाँचौं वर्ष थियो—
3 the word of YHWH came to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of YHWH came upon him.
कल्दीहरूको देशमा कबार नहरको किनारमा परमप्रभुको वचन बूजीको छोरो इजकिएल पुजारीकहाँ आयो, र त्‍यहाँ परमप्रभुको हात तिनीमाथि थियो ।
4 I looked, and look, a stormy wind came out of the north, a great cloud, with flashing lightning, and a brightness around it, and out of its midst as it were glowing metal, out of the midst of the fire.
तब मैले हेरें, र उत्तरबाट आँधीबेहरी आइरहेको थियो । एउटा विशाल बादल, बिजुलीको चमकसमेत, अनि त्‍यसको वरिपरि र भित्र चहकिलो उज्‍यालो थियो, र त्‍यस आगोको माझ जल्‍दो पहेंलो धातुझैं थियो ।
5 Out of its midst came the likeness of four living creatures. This was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man.
माझमा चार जीवित प्राणीहरूजस्ता थिए । तिनीहरूका स्‍वरूप यस्‍तो थियोः तिनीहरू मानिसको स्‍वरूपजस्‍ता थिए,
6 And each one had four faces, and each one of them had four wings.
तर तिनीहरू हरेकका चारवटा मुहार थिए, र हरेकका प्राणीका चारवटा पखेटा थिए ।
7 Their legs were straight, and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot; and they sparkled like burnished bronze.
तिनीहरूका गोडा सीधा थिए, तर तिनीहरूका खुट्टा बाछाका खुरजस्‍ता थिए जो टल्‍काइराखेका काँसाजस्‍तै टल्‍कन्‍थे ।
8 They had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and the four of them had their faces and their wings thus:
तापनि तिनीहरूका पखेटामुनि चारैतिर मानिसका हातहरू थिए । ती चारैका मुहार र पखेटाहरू यस्ता थिएः
9 their wings were joined one to another; they didn't turn when they went; each one went straight forward.
एउटाको पखेटाले अर्काको पखेटालाई छोएको थियो, कतै जाँदा तिनीहरू फर्कंदैन थिए । बरु, हरेक सोझै अगाडि हिंड्‌थ्‍यो ।
10 As for the likeness of their faces, they had the face of a man; and the four of them had the face of a lion on the right side; and the four of them had the face of an ox on the left side; the four of them also had the face of an eagle.
तिनीहरूका मुहार मानिसको झैं थियो । ती चारैको दाहिनेपट्टिको मुहार सिंहको जस्तो र देब्रेपट्टिको अनुहारचाहिं गोरुको जस्तो थियो । ती चारैवटाको चिलको जस्तो अनुहार पनि थियो ।
11 Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out above. Two wings of each one touched another, and two covered their bodies.
तिनीहरूका मुहार यस्‍तै थिए, र तिनीहरूका पखेटाचाहिं बाहिर मास्‍तिर फैलिएका थिए । हरेकका दुईवटा पखेटाले चाहिं एउटाले अर्काको पखेटालाई छोएका थिए, र दुईवटा पखेटाले आ-आफ्‍ना शरीर ढाकेका थिए ।
12 Each one went straight forward: where the spirit would go, they went; they didn't turn when they went.
तिनीहरू हरेक सोझै हिंड्‌थे, ताकि आत्‍माले जता-जता लग्यो तिनीहरू त्‍यतै जान्‍थे, तिनीहरू यताउता नफर्की हिंड्‌थे ।
13 And in the midst of the living creatures was an appearance of burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches. The fire went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.
ती जीवित प्राणीहरूको आकृति जलिरहेको आगोको भुङ्‌ग्रोजस्तो, राँकोहरूजस्‍ता थिए । ती प्राणीहरूको बिचमा चम्किलो आगो यताउता जान्थ्यो, र त्‍यहाँ बिजुलीका चमकहरू थिए ।
14 The living creatures darted back and forth, like the appearance of a flash of lightning.
ती जीवित प्राणीहरू तिव्र गतिले अघि पछि जान्थे, र तिनीहरू बिजुलीको चमकजस्ता देखिन्‍थे ।
15 Now as I saw the living creatures, look, there was a wheel on the ground beside each living creature with its four faces.
तब मैले ती जीवित प्राणीहरूलाई हेरें र ती चारै मुहार भएका हरेक प्राणीको छेउमा मैले जमिनमा एउटा पाङ्‌ग्रा देखें ।
16 And the appearance of the wheels and their work was like a beryl: and the four of them had the same likeness; and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel within a wheel.
ती पाङ्‌ग्राहरूका आकार र बनावट यस्‍ता थिएः हरेक पाङ्ग्रा पीतमणिजस्‍तै थिए, र ती चारैवटा उस्‍तै किसिमका थिए । एउटा पाङ्‌ग्रो अर्को पाङ्‌ग्रोमा खप्टिएको भएझैं थियो ।
17 When they went, they went in their four directions: they didn't turn when they went.
जसै ती हलचल गर्थे, तब कतै नफर्की ती चारैतिर हिंड्‌थे ।
18 As for their rims, they were high and awesome; and the four of them had their rims full of eyes all around.
तिनीहरूका घेरा अल्‍गा र डरलाग्‍दा थिए, किनकि ती चारै घेरा आँखाहरूले भरिएका थिए ।
19 When the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose.
जब ती जीवित प्राणीहरू चलहल गर्थे, तब ती पाङ्‌ग्राहरू पनि साथसाथै हिंड्‌थे । जब ती जीवित प्राणीहरू जमिनबाट माथि उठ्‌थे, तब ती पाङ्‌ग्राहरू पनि उठ्‌थे ।
20 They went in whichever direction the spirit would go, and the wheels rose alongside them because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
आत्‍मा जता जानुहुन्‍थ्‍यो तिनीहरू त्‍यतै जान्‍थे, र ती पाङ्‌ग्राहरू पनि तिनीहरूसँगै उठ्थे, किनकि ती जीवित प्राणीहरूका आत्‍मा तिनै पाङ्‌ग्रामा थिए ।
21 When those [the living creatures] moved, these [the wheels] moved; and when those [the living creatures] stood still, and when those [the living creatures] rose from the ground, the wheels rose alongside them because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
जब ती प्राणीहरू चलहल गर्थे, तब पाङ्ग्राहरू पनि चलहल गर्थे । अनि जब ती प्राणीहरू ठिङ्ग उभिन्‍थे, तब ती पाङ्ग्राहरू पनि ठिङ्ग उभिन्‍थे । ती प्राणीहरू जमिनबाट उठ्‌दा यी पाङ्‌ग्रा पनि तिनीहरूसँगै उठेर जान्‍थे, किनभने ती जीवित प्राणीहरूका आत्‍मा ती पाङ्‌ग्रामा नै थिए ।
22 And over the heads of the living creatures there was the likeness of an expanse, like glittering ice, it was awesome to look upon, stretched out over their heads above.
ती जीवित प्राणीहरूका शिरको मास्‍तिर विशाल अर्धगोलाकार क्षेत्रजस्‍तै थियो । त्यो तिनीहरूको शिरमाथिबाट फैलिएको भयावह स्फटिकझैं देखिन्थ्यो ।
23 Under the expanse their wings were straight, the one toward the other. And each one had two which covered its body.
त्‍यो विशाल अर्धगोलाकार क्षेत्र मुन्‍तिर ती हरेक प्राणीका पखेटाहरू सोझै फैलिएका थिए र एउटाको पखेटाले अर्काको पखेटालाई छुन्‍थ्‍यो । हरेक जीवित प्राणीका आफूलाई ढाक्‍ने एकजोडी पखेटा थिए । हरेकसित आफूलाई ढाक्‍ने जोडी थियो ।
24 When they went, I heard the noise of their wings like the noise of great waters, like the voice of Shaddai, a noise of tumult like the noise of an army: when they stood, they let down their wings.
तब मैले तिनीहरूका पखेटाको आवाज सुनें । त्यो आवाज धेरै पानीको हल्‍लाजस्तै थियो । जब तिनीहरू हलचल गर्थे, तब सर्वशक्तिमान्‌को आवाजजस्तो हुन्‍थ्‍यो । आँधीको वर्षाजस्‍तो थियो । सेनाको आवाजजस्तो थियो । जब तिनीहरू ठिङ्ग उभिन्‍थे, तब तिनीहरूले आफ्‍ना पखेटा तल झार्थे ।
25 There was a voice above the expanse that was over their heads.
जब तिनीहरू ठिङ्ग उभिए र आफ्‍ना पखेटा तल झारे, तब तिनीहरूका शिरहरू मास्‍तिरको विशाल अर्धगोलाकार क्षेत्रबाट एउटा आवाज आयो ।
26 Above the expanse that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone; and on the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man on it above.
तिनीहरू शिरमाथिका विशाल अर्धगोलाकार क्षेत्रमाथि एउटा सिंहासनजस्‍तो थियो जुन हेर्दा त्‍यो नीलमणीजस्‍तै देखिन्‍थ्‍यो, र त्‍यो सिंहासनजस्‍तोमा बस्‍नेको स्‍वरूप मानिसको जस्‍तो थियो ।
27 I saw as it were glowing metal, as the appearance of fire within it all around, from the appearance of his waist and upward; and from the appearance of his waist and downward I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness around him.
मैले उहाँको कम्‍मरदेखि मास्‍तिर जल्‍दो धातुजस्‍तै भएको एउटा आकृति देखें । उहाँको कम्‍मरदेखि मुन्‍तिरको आकृति पनि आगोजस्‍तै देखियो, र उहाँको वरिपरी चहकिलो उज्‍यालोले घेरिराखेको थियो ।
28 As the appearance of the rainbow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of YHWH. When I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice speaking.
उहाँको वरिपरीको चम्किलो उज्यालो पानी परेको दिन बादलमा देखिने इन्‍द्रेनीको आकारझैं उज्‍ज्‍वल थियो । त्‍यो परमप्रभुका महिमासँग मिल्दो दोखिन्‍थ्‍यो । जब मैले त्‍यो देखें तब म घोप्‍टो परें, र एउटा बोलिरहेको आवाज मैले सुनें ।
