< 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.
O ruo nʼafọ nke iri atọ, nʼọnwa nke anọ, nʼụbọchị nke ise ya, mgbe mụ onwe m na ndị ahụ e mere ka ha gaa biri na mba ọzọ nọ nʼakụkụ iyi ukwu Keba, na e meghere eluigwe mee ka m hụ ọhụ dị iche iche site nʼaka Chineke.
2 On [day] five of the month it [was] the year fifth of [the] exile of the king Jehoiachin.
Nʼụbọchị nke ise nʼọnwa ahụ, ọ bụ nʼafọ nke ise mgbe a dọkpụụrụ eze Jehoiakin jee mba ọzọ,
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.
okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru Izikiel onye nchụaja nwa Buzi ntị, mgbe ọ nọ nʼakụkụ iyi ukwu Keba, nke dị nʼala ndị Kaldịa. Nʼebe ahụ kwa ka aka Onyenwe anyị nọ dịkwasị ya nʼahụ.
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.
Elere m anya hụ oke ifufe nke si nʼugwu na-abịa, ahụkwara m oke igwe ojii na amụma nke na-egbuke egbuke; ìhè nke na-enwu nnọọ vaa gbara ya gburugburu. Etiti ọkụ ahụ nwere ihe dịka ọlaọkụ na-amụke amụke.
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.
Ihe e kere eke anọ dị ndụ, nke yiri mmadụ nʼụdịdị ha, nọkwa nʼetiti oke ihe ahụ.
6 And four faces [belonged] to one and four wings [belonged] to one of them.
Nke ọbụla nʼime ha nwere ihu anọ, na nku anọ.
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.
Ụkwụ ha guzoro kwem; ọbụ ụkwụ ha dịka nke nwa ehi, na-amụkekwa dịka bronz e hichara nke ọma.
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.
Nʼokpuru nku ha, ha nwere aka yiri aka mmadụ nʼakụkụ anọ ha niile. Otu a ka ihu ha na nku anọ dị.
9 [were] touching Each sister its wings their not they turned when moved they each to [the] side of face its they moved.
Nku ha na-emetụ na nke ibe ha. Mgbe ha na-efe, ha na-eche ihu ha nʼotu ụzọ, ha adịghị agha anya ha nʼazụ mgbe ha na-aga.
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.
Maka oyiyi ihu ha: Ha anọ nwere ihu mmadụ, nʼakụkụ aka nri ha nwere ihu ọdụm, nʼakụkụ aka ekpe ha bụ ihu ehi, onye ọbụla nwekwara ihu ugo.
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.
Otu ahụ ka ihu ha niile dị. Ha gbasara nku ha nʼelu, nke ọbụla nwere nku abụọ, otu nʼime nku ndị a na-emetụ nku nke ibe ya, ebe abụọ kpuchiri ahụ ha.
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.
Ha niile gawara nʼihu. Ebe ọbụla mmụọ ahụ gara ka ha na-aga, na-eleghị anya nʼazụ.
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.
Nʼetiti ihe ndị a dị ndụ, e nwere ihe dịka icheku ọkụ na-enwu enwu, dịkwa ka ọwa na-enwu ọkụ. Ọkụ na-esi nʼetiti ihe ndị ahụ dị ndụ na-aga ihu na azụ, ọkụ ahụ nwupụrụ enwupụ, amụma eluigwe sikwa na ya egbupụta.
14 And the living creatures they were running and they were returning like [the] appearance of lightning.
Ihe ndị ahụ dị ndụ na-efegharị nʼebe a, na-efegharịkwa nʼebe nke ọzọ, dịka mgbe amụma na-egbu.
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.
Mgbe m na-ele ihe e kere eke dị ndụ ndị a anya, ahụrụ m ụkwụ ụgbọ agha anọ nke dị nʼala nʼokpuru ha. Onye ọbụla nwere nke ya.
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.
Ụkwụ ụgbọala ahụ niile dị ka ihe e ji nkume na-egbu maramara a na-akpọ beril kpụọ. Nke ọbụla nʼime ha anọ yikwara ibe ya. Ha niile dịkwa ka wịịlu a kpụrụ tinye nʼetiti ụkwụ ụgbọala buru ibu.
17 On [the] four sides their when moved they they moved not they turned when moved they.
Mgbe ha pụrụ, ha na-aga nʼakụkụ anọ nke ha chere ihu ha, ma ụkwụ ụgbọ agha ahụ adịghị echigharị echigharị mgbe ha na-aga.
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.
Azụ ụkwụ ụgbọ agha ha dị elu, dịkwa egwu. Anya jupụtakwara nʼazụ ụkwụ ụgbọ agha ndị ahụ.
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.
Mgbe ihe ndị a dị ndụ fepụrụ gaa nʼihu, ụkwụ ụgbọala ndị ahụ dị nʼakụkụ ha na-eso ha. Mgbe ha feliri elu, ụkwụ ndị ahụ na-esokwa.
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.
Ebe ọbụla mmụọ ha jere, ebe ahụ ka ha na-aga, ụkwụ ụgbọ agha ahụ na-esokwa ha, nʼihi na mmụọ nke anụ ndị ahụ dị ndụ dị nʼụkwụ ụgbọ agha ndị ahụ.
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.
Mgbe ha biliri, ndị ọzọ na-ebilikwa. Mgbe ha guzoro otu ebe, ndị ọzọ na-eguzokwa. Mgbe ha feliri elu, ụkwụ ụgbọala ahụ na-eso ha. Nʼihi na mmụọ anụ ndị ahụ dị ndụ dị nʼime ụkwụ ụgbọ agha ndị ahụ.
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.
A tụsara ihe sara mbara dịka mbara eluigwe nʼelu isi ihe ndị ahụ dị ndụ. Ọ na-eyi egwu, ma na-egbukwa nweghenweghe dịka kristal.
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.
Nʼokpuru ihe ahụ ka ha gbasapụrụ nku ha, ka ọ na-emetụ nke ibe ya. Ha niile nʼotu nʼotu nwere nku abụọ nke na-ekpuchi ahụ ya.
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.
Mgbe ha na-aga, nku ha na-eme mkpọtụ dị ka mkpọtụ ebili mmiri na-amagharị amagharị. Mkpọtụ ahụ dịkwa ka ịda ụda nke olu Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, ka olu iti mkpu nke usuu ndị agha. Mgbe ọbụla ha guzoro, ha na-achịtu nku ha.
25 And it came a sound above the expanse which [was] above head their when stood still they they let drop wings their.
Mgbe ahụ ha kwụsịrị mechie nku ha olu sitere nʼime ihe ahụ dịka mbara eluigwe nke dị nʼelu isi ha na-abịa.
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.
Nʼelu mbara eluigwe ahụ, o nwere ihe dịka ocheeze e ji nkume dị oke ọnụahịa a na-akpọ safaia wuo. Otu onye, nke ụdịdị ya dị ka nwoke, nọkwasịkwara nʼelu oche ahụ.
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.
Site nʼụkwụ ya ruo nʼisi ya, ahụ onye ahụ na-egbu maramara dịka ọkụ. Site nʼụkwụ ya ruo nʼukwu ya, ọ dị ka ọkụ na-enwu enwu, ìhè nke na-enwukwa ka ọkụ gbara ya gburugburu.
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.
Ìhè ahụ gbara ya gburugburu, nke a na-ahụ anya, dịkwa ka ìhè eke na egwurugwu, nke a na-ahụ anya nʼoge mmiri na-ezo. Otu a ka ebube Onyenwe anyị si gosi m onwe ya. Mgbe m hụrụ ya, adara m nʼala kpuo ihu m nʼala. Mgbe ahụ, anụrụ m olu onye na-ekwu okwu.
