Ezekiel 1
1 And it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month on the fifth day of the month I being in the midst of them of the captivity, by the river Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
Og det skete i det tredivte Aar, i den fjerde Maaned, paa den femte Dag i Maaneden, da jeg var midt iblandt de bortførte ved Floden Kebar, at Himlene aabnedes, og jeg saa Syner fra Gud.
2 On the fifth of the month, that was the fifth year of the captivity of King Jehoiachin,
Paa den femte Dag i Maaneden (det var i det femte Aar, efter at Kong Jojakin var bortført),
3 in very deed came the word of Yahweh unto Ezekiel son of Buzi the priest in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar, —yea the hand of Yahweh, came on him there.
da kom Herrens Ord til Præsten Ezekiel, Busis Søn, i Kaldæernes Land, ved Floden Kebar; og Herrens Haand kom over ham der.
4 So then I beheld and lo! a tempestuous wind coming out of the North, a great cloud and a fire catching hold of itself, and it had a brightness round about, —and out of the midst thereof, as burnished copper to look upon out of the midst of the fire;
Og jeg saa, og se, der kom et Stormvejr af Norden, en stor Sky og Ild, som slyngede sig sammen, og med en Glans trindt omkring; og midt ud af den var der som et Syn af glødende Malm, midt ud af Ilden.
5 and out of the midst thereof, a likeness of four living ones, and this was their appearance, the likeness of a man, had they;
Og midt ud af den saas en Skikkelse af fire levende Væsener, og dette var deres Udseende: De havde et Menneskes Skikkelse.
6 and four faces each, and four wings each, had they;
Og ethvert af dem havde fire Ansigter og ethvert fire Vinger.
7 and their feet were straight feet, —and the sole of their feet was like the sole of the foot of a calf, but sparkling, as shining bronze to look upon;
Og deres Ben vare lige Ben, og deres Bens Fod var som en Kalvefod, og de vare skinnende som blankt Kobber at se til.
8 and the hands of a man! were under their wings, on their four sides, —and their faces and their wings belonged to the four of them:
Og der var Menneskehænder under deres Vinger, paa deres fire Sider, og de havde alle fire deres Ansigter og deres Vinger.
9 joined to each other, were their wings, —they turned not when they went, each one straight before him, did they go;
Deres Vinger vare sammensluttede, den ene til den anden; de vendte sig ikke, naar de gik, de gik hver lige frem for sig.
10 and the likeness of their faces was the face of a man, with the face of a lion to the right of the four of them, and the face of an ox on the left, of the four of them, —the face of an eagle, also had they four;
Og deres Ansigt lignede et Menneskes Ansigt, og en Løves Ansigt havde alle fire til højre, og en Okses Ansigt havde alle fire til venstre, og en Ørns Ansigt havde alle fire.
11 and their wings were spread above, — two of each joined one another, and two covered their bodies;
Og deres Ansigter og deres Vinger vare oventil adskilte; paa hver vare tvende sammensluttende, den ene til den anden, og tvende skjulte deres Kroppe.
12 and each one straight before him, did they go, —whithersoever the spirit was minded to go, they went, they turned not when they went.
Og de gik hver lige frem for sig; hvorhen Aanden vilde gaa, gik de, de vendte sig ikke, naar de gik.
13 As for the likeness of the living ones, their appearance was like live coals of fire burning up like the appearance of torches, the same went to and fro between the living ones, —and the fire had brightness and out of the fire, went forth a lightning.
Og hvad de levende Væseners Skikkelse angaar, da var deres Udseende som glødende Kul, der brænde som Blus, at se til; Ilden for hid og did imellem de levende Væsener; og den skinnede, og der udgik Lyn af Ilden.
14 And the living ones ran and returned, —like the appearance of a flash of lightning.
Og de levende Væsener løb frem og tilbage som Lynglimt at se til.
15 And I looked at the living ones, —and lo! one wheel upon the earth beside the living ones for each of his four faces,
Og jeg saa de levende Væsener, og se, der var et Hjul paa Jorden hos ethvert af de levende, imod de fire Sider.
16 The appearance of the wheels and of their structure was like a Tarshish-stone to look upon, and they four had one likeness, —and their appearance and their structure were just as would be a wheel in the midst of a wheel.
Hjulenes Udseende og Arbejdet paa dem var som Synet af en Krysolit, og alle fire vare efter een Skikkelse; og deres Udseende og Arbejdet paa dem var, som om et Hjul var i det andet.
17 Upon their four sides, when they went, so did they go, —they turned not when they went.
Naar de skulde gaa, gik de imod deres fire Sider; de vendte sig ikke, naar de gik.
18 As for their rings, they were so high that they were terrible, -and their rings full of eyes round about, had they four.
Og de havde Fælger, høje og frygtelige, og deres Fælger vare fulde af Øjne trindt omkring paa dem alle fire.
19 And when the living ones went, the wheels went beside them, —and when the living ones were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up:
Og naar de levende Væsener gik, gik Hjulene hos dem; og naar de levende hævede sig op fra Jorden, hævede Hjulene sig.
20 whithersoever the spirit was minded to go, they went—thither was the spirit minded to go, —and the wheels would be lifted up along with them, for the spirit of the living one was in the wheels:
Hvorhen Aanden vilde gaa, gik de — derhen vilde Aanden gaa; og Hjulene hævede sig op ved Siden af dem; thi Livets Aand var i Hjulene.
21 when they went, these went, and when they stood, these stood, —and when they were lifted up from off the earth, the wheels were lifted up along with them, for the spirit of the living one was in the wheels.
Naar de gik, gik disse, og naar de stode, stode disse; og naar de hævede sig op fra Jorden, hævede Hjulene sig ved Siden af dem; thi Livets Aand var i Hjulene.
22 And there was a likeness over the heads of the living one—an expanse, like terrible crystal to look upon, -stretched forth over their heads above.
Og over Hovederne af de levende Væsener var der som en udstrakt Befæstning, af Udseende som blændende Krystal, den var udbredt oven over deres Hoveder.
23 And under the expanse, their wings were straight, one towards another, —each one had two covering on this side, and each one had two covering on that side, their bodies.
Og under den udstrakte Befæstning vare deres Vinger strakte lige ud, den ene imod den anden; ethvert af dem her havde to til at dække, og ethvert af dem der havde to til at dække deres Kroppe.
24 And I heard the sound of their wings, as the sound of many waters, as the sound of the Almighty, when they went, the sound of a storm as the sound of a host, —when they stood, they let down their wings,
Og jeg hørte deres Vingers Lyd som en Lyd af store Vande som Lyden af den Almægtige, naar de gik, et Bulders Lyd som Lyden af en Hær; naar de stode stille, lode de deres Vinger synke.
25 And there was a voice above the expanse that was over their head, —when they stood, they let down their wings.
Og der hørtes en Lyd over den udstrakte Befæstning, som var over deres Hoved; naar de stede stille, lode de deres Vinger synke.
26 And above the expanse that was over their heads, as the appearance of a sapphire stone, was the likeness of a throne, —and upon the likeness of a throne, was a likeness as the appearance of a man upon it above.
Og over den udstrakte Befæstning, som var over deres Hoved, var der en Skikkelse af en Trone, der saa ud som Safir, og over Tronens Skikkelse var der atter en Skikkelse som et Menneske at se til, der ovenover.
27 And I saw as burnished copper to look upon, as the appearance of fire within it round about, from the appearance of his loins and upwards and from the appearance of his loins and downwards, saw I as the appearance of fire, and he had brightness round about:
Og jeg saa som et Syn af gloende Malm, som Udseendet af Ild indadtil, trindt omkring; fra hans Lænder at se til og opad, og fra hans Lænder at se til og nedad, saa jeg som Udseendet af Ild, med en Glans trindt der omkring.
28 as the appearance of the bow which is in a cloud on a day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about, that was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Yahweh, and when I saw, I fell upon my face, and heard a voice of one speaking.
Som Udseendet af Regnbuen, naar den er i Skyen paa Regnens Dag, saaledes var Udseendet af Glansen trindt omkring; dette var Udseendet af Herrens Herligheds Skikkelse; og jeg saa det, og jeg faldt ned paa mit Ansigt og hørte en Røst, som talte.
