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.
E aconteceu que aos trinta annos, no quarto mez, no dia quinto do mez, estando eu no meio dos captivos, junto ao rio Chebar, se abriram os céus, e eu vi visões de Deus.
2 In the fifth of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity,
No quinto dia do mez (que foi no quinto anno do captiveiro do rei Joachim),
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.
Veiu expressamente a palavra do Senhor a Ezequiel, filho de Buzi, o sacerdote, na terra dos chaldeos, junto ao rio de Chebar, e ali esteve sobre elle a mão do Senhor.
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.
Então vi, e eis que um vento tempestuoso vinha do norte, uma grande nuvem, e um fogo revolvendo-se n'ella, e um resplandor ao redor d'ella, e no meio d'ella havia uma coisa como de côr de ambar, que sahia do meio do fogo.
5 Out of its midst came the likeness of four living creatures. This was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man.
E do meio d'ella sahia a similhança de quatro animaes; e esta era a sua apparencia: Tinham a similhança de homens.
6 And each one had four faces, and each one of them had four wings.
E cada um tinha quatro rostos, como tambem cada um d'elles quatro azas.
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.
E os seus pés eram pés direitos; e as plantas dos seus pés como a planta do pé d'uma bezerra, e luziam como a côr de cobre abrazado.
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:
E tinham mãos de homem debaixo das suas azas, aos quatro lados; e assim todos quatro tinham seus rostos e suas azas.
9 their wings were joined one to another; they didn't turn when they went; each one went straight forward.
Uniam-se as suas azas uma á outra: não se viravam quando iam, e cada qual andava diante do seu rosto.
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.
E a similhança dos seus rostos era como o rosto de homem; e á mão direita todos os quatro tinham rosto de leão, e á mão esquerda todos os quatro tinham rosto de boi; e rosto de aguia todos os quatro.
11 Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out above. Two wings of each one touched another, and two covered their bodies.
E os seus rostos e as suas azas estavam divididas por cima: cada qual tinha duas azas juntas uma á outra, e duas cobriam os corpos d'elles.
12 Each one went straight forward: where the spirit would go, they went; they didn't turn when they went.
E cada qual andava diante do seu rosto; para onde o espirito havia de ir, iam; não se viravam quando andavam.
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.
E, quanto á similhança dos animaes, o seu parecer era como de brazas de fogo ardentes, como uma apparencia d'alampadas: o fogo corria por entre os animaes, e o fogo resplandecia, e do fogo sahiam relampagos;
14 The living creatures darted back and forth, like the appearance of a flash of lightning.
E os animaes corriam, e tornavam, á similhança dos relampagos.
15 Now as I saw the living creatures, look, there was a wheel on the ground beside each living creature with its four faces.
E vi os animaes: e eis aqui uma roda na terra junto aos animaes, para cada um dos seus quatro rostos.
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.
O aspecto das rodas, e a obra d'ellas, era como côr de turqueza; e as quatro tinham uma mesma similhança: e o seu aspecto, e a sua obra, era como se estivera uma roda no meio de outra roda.
17 When they went, they went in their four directions: they didn't turn when they went.
Andando ellas, andavam pelos quatro lados d'elles; não se viravam quando andavam.
18 As for their rims, they were high and awesome; and the four of them had their rims full of eyes all around.
E as suas costas eram tão altas, que mettiam medo; e estas quatro tinham as suas costas cheias de olhos ao redor.
19 When the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose.
E, andando os animaes, andavam as rodas ao pé d'elles; e, elevando-se os animaes da terra, elevavam-se tambem as rodas.
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.
Para onde o espirito havia de ir, iam; para lá havia o espirito de ir; e as rodas se elevavam defronte d'elles, porque o espirito de vida estava nas rodas.
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.
Andando elles, andavam ellas, e, parando elles, paravam ellas, e, elevando-se elles da terra, elevavam-se tambem as rodas defronte d'elles; porque o espirito dos animaes estava nas rodas.
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.
E sobre as cabeças dos animaes havia uma similhança de firmamento, como um aspecto de crystal terrivel, estendido por cima, sobre as suas cabeças.
23 Under the expanse their wings were straight, the one toward the other. And each one had two which covered its body.
E debaixo do firmamento estavam as suas azas direitas uma para a outra: cada um tinha duas, que lhe cobriam o corpo de uma banda; e cada um tinha outras duas, que os cobriam da outra banda.
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.
E, andando elles, ouvi o ruido das suas azas, com o ruido de muitas aguas, como a voz do Omnipotente, a voz d'um estrondo, como o estrepito de um exercito: parando elles, abaixavam as suas azas.
25 There was a voice above the expanse that was over their heads.
E ouviu-se uma voz por cima do firmamento, que ficava por cima das suas cabeças: parando elles, abaixavam as suas azas.
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.
E por cima do firmamento, que ficava por cima das suas cabeças, havia uma similhança de throno, como d'uma saphira; e sobre a similhança do throno uma similhança ao aspecto d'um homem, que estava por cima, sobre elle.
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.
E vi como a côr de ambar, como o aspecto do fogo pelo interior d'elle, desde o aspecto dos seus lombos, e d'ahi para cima; e, desde o aspecto dos seus lombos e d'ahi para baixo, vi como a similhança do fogo, e um resplandor ao redor d'elle.
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.
Como o aspecto do arco que apparece na nuvem no dia da chuva, assim era o aspecto do resplandor em redor: este era o aspecto da similhança da gloria do Senhor: e, vendo-a eu, cahi sobre o meu rosto, e ouvi a voz de quem fallava.
