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.
Uti tretionde årena, på femte dagen i fjerde månadenom, då jag var ibland de fångna vid den älfvena Chebar, öppnade sig himmelen, och Gud viste mig syner.
2 On the fifth of the month, that was the fifth year of the captivity of King Jehoiachin,
Den samme femte dagen var uti femte årena, efter att Jojachin, Juda Konung, var fången bortförd.
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.
Då skedde Herrans ord till Hesekiel, Busi son, Prestens, uti de Chaldeers lande, vid den älfvena Chebar; der kom Herrans hand öfver honom.
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;
Och jag såg, och si, der kom ett stormväder nordanefter, med en stor molnsky full med eld, så att det glimmade allt omkring; och midt uti eldenom var det ganska klart.
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;
Och derinnan uti var lika som fyra djur, och ett af dem var såsom en menniska.
6 and four faces each, and four wings each, had they;
Och de hade hvartdera fyra ansigte och fyra vingar.
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;
Och deras ben stodo rätt; men deras fötter voro lika som oxafötter, och glimmade såsom glödande koppar;
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:
Och hade menniskohänder under deras vingar, på deras fyra sidor; ty de hade alle fyra deras ansigte och deras vingar.
9 joined to each other, were their wings, —they turned not when they went, each one straight before him, did they go;
Och vingarna voro ju hvar vid annan; och då de gingo, så behöfde de intet vända sig, utan hvart de gingo, gingo de rätt framåt.
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;
Deras ansigte på högre sidone af de fyra voro lika som menniskos och lejons; men på venstra sidone af de fyra voro deras ansigte lika som oxars och örns.
11 and their wings were spread above, — two of each joined one another, and two covered their bodies;
Och deras ansigte och vingar voro ofvantill uträckte, så att ju två vingar tillsammans slogo, och med två vingar skylde de sina kroppar.
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.
Hvart de gingo, då gingo de rätt framåt och de gingo dit som vädret bar, och behöfde intet vända sig, då de gingo.
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.
Och djuren voro anseende lika som dödande kol, de der brinna, och lika som bloss emellan djuren; men elden gaf ett glimmande ifrå sig, och utur eldenom gick ett ljungande.
14 And the living ones ran and returned, —like the appearance of a flash of lightning.
Och djuren lupo hit och dit, lika som en ljungeld.
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,
Som jag nu så såg dessa djuren, si, då stod der ett hjul på jordene när de fyra djuren, och var anseendes lika som fyra hjul.
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.
Och de hjulen voro lika som en turkos, och voro alla fyra, det ena som det andra; och de voro anseende lika som ett hjul vore i de andro.
17 Upon their four sides, when they went, so did they go, —they turned not when they went.
När de skulle gå, så kunde de gå på alla fyra sidor, och behöfde intet vända sig, när de gingo.
18 As for their rings, they were so high that they were terrible, -and their rings full of eyes round about, had they four.
Deras lötar och höjd voro förskräckelig, och deras lötar voro full med ögon allt omkring på alla fyra hjulen.
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:
Och när djuren gingo, så gingo ock hjulen när dem; och då djuren upplyfte sig ifrå jordene, så upplyfte ock hjulen 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:
Hvart vädret gick, dit gingo de ock, och hjulen upplyfte sig med dem; ty ett starkt väder var i hjulomen.
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.
När de gingo, så gingo desse ock; när de stodo, så stodo desse ock; och när de upplyfte sig ifrå jordene, så upplyfte sig i ock hjulen när dem; ty ett starkt väder var i hjulomen.
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.
Men ofvanpå djuren var lika som himmelen, såsom en christall, förskräckelig, rätt öfver dem utsträckt;
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.
Så att under himmelen stodo deras vingar, den ene rätt emot den andra; och två vingar öfvertäckte hvarsderas kropp.
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,
Och jag hörde vingarna dåna, lika som stor vatten, och lika som en dön dens Allsmägtigas, när de gingo, och lika som en gny af enom här; men när de stilla stodo, så läto de vingarna neder.
25 And there was a voice above the expanse that was over their head, —when they stood, they let down their wings.
Och när de stilla stodo, och läto vingarna neder, så dundrade i himmelen öfver dem.
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.
Och öfver himmelen, som öfver dem var, var lika som en saphir, såsom en stol, och på dem stolenom satt en, lik ene mennisko.
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:
Och jag såg, och det var såsom ett klart ljus; och innantill var det såsom en eld allt omkring; ifrå hans länder upp och neder såg jag såsom en eld blänka allt 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.
Lika som regnbågen synes i molnskynom, när regnat hafver, så blänkte det allt omkring. Detta var Herrans härlighets anseende; och då jag det sett hade, föll jag uppå mitt ansigte, och hörde en tala.
