< 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.
Na i te toru tekau o nga tau, i te wha o nga marama, i te rima o nga ra o te marama, i ahau i roto i nga whakarau o te awa, o Kepara, na ka puare nga rangi, a ka kite ahau i nga putanga Atua.
2 On [day] five of the month it [was] the year fifth of [the] exile of the king Jehoiachin.
I te rima o nga ra o te marama, ara i te rima o nga tau o to Kingi Iehoiakini whakaraunga,
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.
Ka haere tika tonu mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a Ehekiera tohunga, tama a Puti, i te whenua o nga Karari, i te taha o te awa, o Kepara; a i runga te ringa o Ihowa i a ia i reira.
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.
A ka titiro atu ahau, na, he tukauati e puta mai ana i te raki, he kapua nui, he ahi e hoki iho ana ki roto ki a ia ano, wheriko tonu i tetahi taha, a i waenganui, i rite ki te kara o te amipere, i waenganui ano i te ahi.
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.
Na ka puta mai i waenganui o taua ahi ko te ahua o nga mea ora e wha. Ko to ratou ahua ano tenei; i rite ratou ki te tangata.
6 And four faces [belonged] to one and four wings [belonged] to one of them.
Na e wha nga mata o tetahi, o tetahi o ratou, e wha nga parirau o tetahi, o tetahi.
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.
Ko o ratou waewae, he waewae tika tonu; ko te kapu ano o o ratou waewae rite tonu ki te kapu o te waewae o te kuao kua: wheriko tonu, rite tonu ki te kanapatanga o te parahi kua oti te oro.
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.
He ringa tangata ano o ratou i raro i o ratou parirau, i o ratou taha e wha: na, ko ratou tokowha, ko o ratou mata, ko o ratou parirau, koia tenei;
9 [were] touching Each sister its wings their not they turned when moved they each to [the] side of face its they moved.
He mea hono o ratou parirau tetahi ki tetahi; kihai ratou i tahuri i a ratou e haere ana; i haere tika tonu atu tetahi, tetahi.
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.
Na, ko te ahua o o ratou mata, he mata tangata o ratou; he mata raiona o ratou tokowha i te taha ki matua; he mata kau o ratou tokowha i te taha ki maui; he mata ekara ano o ratou tokowha.
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.
Na, ko o ratou mata, ko o ratou parirau he mea wehe a runga: ko o te mea kotahi e rua nga parirau e piri ana tetahi ki tetahi, e rua hei hipoki mo o ratou tinana.
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.
I haere tika tonu atu hoki ratou tetahi, tetahi: ko te wahi hei haerenga atu mo te wairua, haere ana ratou ki reira: kihai ratou i tahuri i a ratou e haere ana.
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.
Na, ko te rite o aua mea ora, ko to ratou ahua, koia ano kei te ngarahu ahi i te mea e ka ana, kei te ahua ano o te rama: i haereere taua ahi i roto i aua mea ora, mura tonu, i puta mai ano he uira i roto i te ahi.
14 And the living creatures they were running and they were returning like [the] appearance of lightning.
Na ko te oma, ko te hokinga o aua mea ora, rite tonu te ahua ki to te hikonga uira.
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.
Na i taku tirohanga ki nga mea ora, nana, ko tetahi wira i runga i te whenua, i te taha o nga mea ora, kotahi mo te mea kotahi o ona mata e wha.
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.
Ko te ahua o nga wira, me to ratou mahinga, rite tonu te kara ki to te perira: rite tonu aua wira e wha; ko to ratou ahua, ko to ratou mahinga, me te mea he wira i roto i te wira.
17 On [the] four sides their when moved they they moved not they turned when moved they.
I to ratou haerenga i haere i runga i o ratou taha e wha; kihai i tahuri i a ratou e haere ana.
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.
Na, ko o ratou awhi, tiketike rawa, he hanga whakawehi, kapi tonu ano i te kanohi o ratou awhi i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, o ratou e wha.
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.
Na i te haerenga o nga mea ora i haere ano nga wira i to ratou taha; a ka ara nga mea ora i runga i te whenua, ka ara ano nga wira.
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.
Ko te wahi hei haerenga atu mo te wairua, i haere ratou ki reira; ko reira hei haerenga mo te wairua; i ara ano nga wira ki runga i to ratou ritenga atu: no te mea i roto i nga wira te wairua o te mea ora.
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.
I haere era, ka haere enei; i tu era, ka tu enei; a ka ara ake era i runga i te whenua, ka ara ano nga wira i to ratou ritenga atu; no te mea kei roto te wairua o te mea ora i nga wira.
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.
Na i runga ake i te mahunga o te mea ora ko te ahua o te kikorangi, rite tonu te kara ki to te karaihe e wehingia ana, he mea hora atu i runga i o ratou mahunga i te taha ki runga.
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.
Na, i raro i te kikorangi, ko o ratou parirau, torotika tonu, anga tonu mai tetahi ki tetahi: o te mea kotahi e rua hei hipoki i tetahi taha, o te mea kotahi ano e rua hei hipoki i tera taha o o ratou tinana.
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.
A i a ratou e haere ana, i rongo ahau i te haruru o o ratou parirau me te mea ko te haruru o nga wai maha, me te mea ano ko te reo o te Kaha Rawa, he reo e turituri ana, ano he nge no tetahi ope: i nga wa i tu ai ratou i tukua iho o ratou parira u.
25 And it came a sound above the expanse which [was] above head their when stood still they they let drop wings their.
I puta iho ano he reo i te kikorangi i runga i o ratou mahunga; i te mea ka tu ratou, ka tukua iho o ratou parirau.
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.
Na, i runga i te kikorangi i runga ake i o ratou mahunga ko te ahua o tetahi torona, he mea rite ki te kohatu hapaira: a i runga i te ahua o te torona ko tetahi ahua e rite ana ki to te tangata i runga i taua torona, i te taha ki runga.
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.
I kite atu ano ahau me te mea no te amipere te kara, he mea rite ki te ahua o te ahi i roto a taka noa, taka noa, i te ahua o tona hope, a haere whakarunga, i te ahua ano o tona hope, a haere whakararo, i kite atu ahau me te mea ko te ahua o te ahi, a wheriko tonu te marama i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha ona.
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.
Rite tonu ki te ahua o te kopere i te kapua i te ra ua te ahua o te wherikotanga a taka noa. Ko te ahua tena, ko te ritenga o te kororia o Ihowa. No toku kitenga, tapapa ana ahau ki raro; na, ka rongo ahau i te reo o tetahi e korero ana.
