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.
E aconteceu que aos trinta anos, no quarto mes, no dia quinto do mes, estando eu no meio dos cativos, junto ao rio Chebar, se abriram os céus, e eu vi visões de Deus.
2 On the fifth of the month, that was the fifth year of the captivity of King Jehoiachin,
No quinto dia do mês (que foi no quinto ano do cativeiro do rei Joachim),
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.
Veio expressamente a palavra do Senhor a Ezequiel, filho de Buzi, o sacerdote, na terra dos caldeus, junto ao rio de Chebar, e ali esteve sobre ele a mão do Senhor.
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;
Então vi, e eis que um vento tempestuoso vinha do norte, uma grande nuvem, e um fogo revolvendo-se nela, e um resplandor ao redor dela, e no meio dela havia uma coisa como de cor de âmbar, que saía do meio do fogo.
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;
E do meio dela saía a semelhança de quatro animais; e esta era a sua aparência: Tinham a semelhança de homens.
6 and four faces each, and four wings each, had they;
E cada um tinha quatro rostos, como também cada um deles quatro asas.
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;
E os seus pés eram pés direitos; e as plantas dos seus pés como a planta do pé de uma bezerra, e luziam como a cor de cobre abrazado.
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:
E tinham mãos de homem debaixo das suas asas, aos quatro lados; e assim todos quatro tinham seus rostos e suas asas.
9 joined to each other, were their wings, —they turned not when they went, each one straight before him, did they go;
Uniam-se as suas asas uma à outra: não se viravam quando iam, e cada qual andava diante do seu rosto.
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;
E a semelhança dos seus rostos era como o rosto de homem; e à mão direita todos os quatro tinham rosto de leão, e à mão esquerda todos os quatro tinham rosto de boi; e rosto de águia todos os quatro.
11 and their wings were spread above, — two of each joined one another, and two covered their bodies;
E os seus rostos e as suas asas estavam divididas por cima: cada qual tinha duas asas juntas uma à outra, e duas cobriam os corpos deles.
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.
E cada qual andava diante do seu rosto; para onde o espírito havia de ir, iam; não se viravam quando andavam.
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.
E, quanto à semelhança dos animais, o seu parecer era como de brazas de fogo ardentes, como uma aparência da alâmpadas: o fogo corria por entre os animais, e o fogo resplandecia, e do fogo saiam relâmpagos;
14 And the living ones ran and returned, —like the appearance of a flash of lightning.
E os animais corriam, e tornavam, à semelhança dos relâmpagos.
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,
E vi os animais: e eis aqui uma roda na terra junto aos animais, para cada um dos seus quatro rostos.
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.
O aspecto das rodas, e a obra delas, era como cor de turqueza; e as quatro tinham uma mesma semelhança: e o seu aspecto, e a sua obra, era como se estivera uma roda no meio de outra roda.
17 Upon their four sides, when they went, so did they go, —they turned not when they went.
Andando elas, andavam pelos quatro lados deles; não se viravam quando andavam.
18 As for their rings, they were so high that they were terrible, -and their rings full of eyes round about, had they four.
E as suas costas eram tão altas, que metiam medo; e estas quatro tinham as suas costas cheias de olhos ao redor.
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:
E, andando os animais, andavam as rodas ao pé deles; e, elevando-se os animais da terra, elevavam-se também as rodas.
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:
Para onde o espírito havia de ir, iam; para lá havia o espírito de ir; e as rodas se elevavam defronte deles, porque o espírito de vida estava nas rodas.
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.
Andando eles, andavam elas, e, parando eles, paravam elas, e, elevando-se eles da terra, elevavam-se também as rodas defronte deles; porque o espírito dos animais estava nas rodas.
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.
E sobre as cabeças dos animais havia uma semelhança de firmamento, como um aspecto de cristal terrível, estendido por cima, sobre as suas cabeças.
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.
E debaixo do firmamento estavam as suas asas 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 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,
E, andando eles, ouvi o ruído das suas asas, com o ruído de muitas águas, como a voz do onipotente, a voz dum estrondo, como o estrépito de um exército: parando eles, abaixavam as suas asas.
25 And there was a voice above the expanse that was over their head, —when they stood, they let down their wings.
E ouviu-se uma voz por cima do firmamento, que ficava por cima das suas cabeças: parando eles, abaixavam as suas asas.
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.
E por cima do firmamento, que ficava por cima das suas cabeças, havia uma semelhança de trono, como de uma safira; e sobre a semelhança do trono uma semelhança ao aspecto dum homem, que estava por cima, sobre ele.
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:
E vi como a cor de âmbar, como o aspecto do fogo pelo interior dele, desde o aspecto dos seus lombos, e daí para cima; e, desde o aspecto dos seus lombos e daí para baixo, vi como a semelhança do fogo, e um resplandor ao redor dele.
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.
Como o aspecto do arco que aparece na nuvem no dia da chuva, assim era o aspecto do resplandor em redor: este era o aspecto da semelhança da glória do Senhor: e, vendo-a eu, caí sobre o meu rosto, e ouvi a voz de quem falava.
