< Ezekiel 1 >

1 And it was - in thirty year in the fourth [month] on [day] five of the month and I [was] in among the exile[s] at [the] river of Kebar they were opened the heavens and I saw visions of God.
Et factum est in trigesimo anno, in quarto, in quinta mensis, cum essem in medio captivorum iuxta fluvium Chobar, aperti sunt cæli, et vidi visiones Dei.
2 On [day] five of the month it [was] the year fifth of [the] exile of the king Jehoiachin.
In quinta mensis, ipse est annus quintus transmigrationis regis Ioachin,
3 Expressly it came [the] word of Yahweh to Ezekiel [the] son of Buzi the priest in [the] land of [the] Chaldeans at [the] river of Kebar and it was on him there [the] hand of Yahweh.
factum est verbum Domini ad Ezechielem filium Buzi sacerdotem in terra Chaldæorum, secus flumen Chobar: et facta est super eum ibi manus Domini.
4 And I saw and there! a wind of storm [was] coming from the north a cloud great and fire flashing and brightness [belonged] to it all around and [was] from [the] middle of it like [the] appearance of shining substance from [the] middle of the fire.
Et vidi, et ecce ventus turbinis veniebat ab Aquilone: et nubes magna, et ignis involvens, et splendor in circuitu eius: et de medio eius quasi species electri, id est, de medio ignis:
5 And [was] from [the] middle of it a likeness of four living creatures and this [was] appearance their a likeness of a human [belonged] to them.
et in medio eius similitudo quattuor animalium: et hic aspectus eorum, similitudo hominis in eis.
6 And four faces [belonged] to one and four wings [belonged] to one of them.
Quattuor facies uni, et quattuor pennæ uni.
7 And feet their [was] a foot straight and [the] sole of feet their [was] like [the] sole of [the] foot of a calf and [they were] gleaming like [the] appearance of bronze burnished.
Pedes eorum pedes recti, et planta pedis eorum quasi planta pedis vituli, et scintillæ quasi aspectus æris candentis.
8 (And [the] hands of *Q(K)*) a human [were] under wings their on [the] four sides their and faces their and wings their [belonged] to [the] four of them.
Et manus hominis sub pennis eorum in quattuor partibus: et facies, et pennas per quattuor partes habebant.
9 [were] touching Each sister its wings their not they turned when moved they each to [the] side of face its they moved.
Iunctæque erant pennæ eorum alterius ad alterum. Non revertebantur cum incederent: sed unumquodque ante faciem suam gradiebatur.
10 And [the] likeness of faces their [was the] face of a human and [the] face of a lion to the right [side] [belonged] to [the] four of them and [the] face of an ox from the left [side] [belonged] to [the] four of them and [the] face of an eagle [belonged] to [the] four of them.
Similitudo autem vultus eorum: facies hominis, et facies leonis a dextris ipsorum quattuor: facies autem bovis, a sinistris ipsorum quattuor, et facies aquilæ desuper ipsorum quattuor.
11 And faces their and wings their [were] spread out from to above each two [wings] [were] touching each and two [wings] [were] covering bodies their.
Facies eorum, et pennæ eorum extentæ desuper: duæ pennæ singulorum iungebantur, et duæ tegebant corpora eorum:
12 And each to [the] side of face its they moved to where it was there the spirit [about] to go they moved not they turned when moved they.
et unumquodque eorum coram facie sua ambulabat: ubi erat impetus spiritus, illuc gradiebantur, nec revertebantur cum ambularent.
13 And [the] likeness of the living creatures appearance their [was] like coals of fire burning like [the] appearance of torches it [was] moving about between the living creatures and brightness [belonged] to the fire and from the fire [was] coming out lightning.
Et similitudo animalium, aspectus eorum quasi carbonum ignis ardentium, et quasi aspectus lampadarum. Hæc erat visio discurrens in medio animalium, splendor ignis, et de igne fulgur egrediens.
14 And the living creatures they were running and they were returning like [the] appearance of lightning.
Et animalia ibant, et revertebantur in similitudinem fulguris coruscantis.
15 And I saw the living creatures and there! a wheel one [was] on the ground beside the living creatures for [the] four faces its.
Cumque aspicerem animalia, apparuit rota una super terram iuxta animalia, habens quattuor facies.
16 [the] appearance of The wheels and construction their [was] like [the] appearance of chrysolite and a likeness one [belonged] to [the] four of them and appearance their and construction their [was] just as it was the wheel in [the] middle of the wheel.
Et aspectus rotarum, et opus earum, quasi visio maris: et una similitudo ipsarum quattuor: et aspectus earum et opera, quasi sit rota in medio rotæ.
17 On [the] four sides their when moved they they moved not they turned when moved they.
Per quattuor partes earum euntes ibant: et non revertebantur cum ambularent.
18 And rims their and height [belonged] to them and fear [belonged] to them and rims their [were] full of eyes all around to [the] four of them.
Statura quoque erat rotis, et altitudo, et horribilis aspectus: et totum corpus oculis plenum in circuitu ipsarum quattuor.
19 And when moved the living creatures they moved the wheels beside them and when were lifted up the living creatures from on the ground they were lifted up the wheels.
Cumque ambularent animalia, ambulabant pariter et rotæ iuxta ea: et cum elevarentur animalia de terra, elevabantur simul et rotæ.
20 To where it was there the spirit [about] to go they moved there towards the spirit to go and the wheels they were lifted up close by them for [the] spirit of the living creature [was] in the wheels.
Quocumque ibat spiritus, illuc eunte spiritu, et rotæ pariter elevabantur, sequentes eum. Spiritus enim vitæ erat in rotis.
21 When moved they they moved and when stood still they they stood still and when were lifted up they from on the ground they were lifted up the wheels close by them for [the] spirit of the living creature [was] in the wheels.
Cum euntibus ibant, et cum stantibus stabant: et cum elevatis a terra, pariter elevabantur et rotæ, sequentes ea: quia spiritus vitæ erat in rotis.
22 And a likeness [was] above [the] heads of the living creature an expanse like [the] appearance of frost awesome spread out above heads their from to above.
Et similitudo super capita animalium firmamenti, quasi aspectus crystalli horribilis, et extenti super capita eorum desuper.
23 And under the expanse wings their [were] straight each to sister its [belonged] to each two [wings] covering them [belonged] to each two [wings] covering them bodies their.
Sub firmamento autem pennæ eorum rectæ alterius ad alterum: unumquodque duabus alis velabat corpus suum, et alterum similiter velabatur.
24 And I heard [the] sound of wings their like [the] sound of waters many like [the] sound of [the] Almighty when moved they [the] sound of a rainstorm like [the] sound of an army when stood still they they let drop wings their.
Et audiebam sonum alarum, quasi sonum aquarum multarum, quasi sonum sublimis Dei: cum ambularent quasi sonus erat multitudinis ut sonus castrorum. Cumque starent, demittebantur pennæ eorum.
25 And it came a sound above the expanse which [was] above head their when stood still they they let drop wings their.
Nam cum fieret vox super firmamentum, quod erat super caput eorum, stabant, et submittebant alas suas.
26 And [was] from above the expanse which [was] above head their like [the] appearance of a stone of sapphire [the] likeness of a throne and [was] on [the] likeness of the throne a likeness like [the] appearance of a human on it from to above.
Et super firmamentum, quod erat imminens capiti eorum, quasi aspectus lapidis sapphiri similitudo throni: et super similitudinem throni similitudo quasi aspectus hominis desuper.
27 And I saw - like [the] appearance of a shining substance like [the] appearance of fire within to it [was] all around from [the] appearance of hips his and upwards and from [the] appearance of hips his and downwards I saw like [the] appearance of fire and brightness of him [was] all around.
Et vidi quasi speciem electri, velut aspectum ignis, intrinsecus eius per circuitum: a lumbis eius et desuper, et a lumbis eius usque deorsum, vidi quasi speciem ignis splendentis in circuitu:
28 Like [the] appearance of rainbow which it is in the cloud[s] on [the] day of rain so [the] appearance of the brightness all around that [was] [the] appearance of [the] likeness of [the] glory of Yahweh and I saw [it] and I fell on face my and I heard a voice speaking.
Velut aspectum arcus cum fuerit in nube in die pluviæ. Hic erat aspectus splendoris per gyrum.
