Ezekiel 1
1 [I am] Ezekiel, a priest, the son of Buzi. When I was 30 years [old], I [living] among [Israeli] people who had been (exiled from/forced to leave) [and had come to Babylon]. I was living along the Kebar River/ [south of Babylon]. Almost five years after King Jehoiachin had been (exiled/forced to leave Judah), on the fifth day of the fourth [of that year, it was as though] the sky was opened and I saw visions from God. On that day,
Juda mi Babylon gam Chebar vadung pang a sohchang ho lah a kana umna kum somle kumthum alhin kum July 31 lhinni achun van ana kihongin chule Pathen thilmu theina chu kana mui.
Hiche hi Jehoiachin lengpa asohchan jou kal kum nga lhin kuma chu soh ahi.
3 God gave me [in visions here] in Babylonia, and I felt the power [MTY] of Yahweh on me.
(Pakaiyin hiche thuhi Buzi chapa Ezekiel thempupa kom a Babylon lenggam Chebar vadung panga aum petna anapeh ahin, chule Pakai khut chu achungah ana kingame)
4 [In one of the visions, I saw a] windstorm coming from the north. There was a huge cloud, and lightning was flashing continually, and a brilliant light surrounded the cloud. In the center of where the lightning was flashing there was something that resembled glowing bronze.
Keiman kavet pettah chun Sahlam a kon huipi gopi nasatah ahung kitol kamun, Meilhang lentah masanga kolphe toh kitho a vah pempumin ahunge. Meilom lah a chun meikou aumin, chule meikou lailunga chun khichang tobang meikou vahlap lap aume.
5 In the center of the storm I saw what resembled four living creatures. They resembled humans,
Meilom lailunga kon chun mihem melput tobang thil hing thei li ahung doh e.
6 but each of them had four faces and four wings [DOU].
Maili leh lhaving li aneiyu tailouvin,
7 Their legs were straight. Their feet resembled the hooves of calves, and the creatures shone like polished bronze.
Akeng hou chu ajangpet in, akengphangu chu bongnou keng to abangin alange.
8 On their four sides under their wings there were hands like humans have.
Alhaving li noicheh a chun mihem ho khut kamu doh e.
9 As the four [stood there, they formed a circle/square], with their wings touching each other. They did not turn when they were moving; they went straight ahead.
Ahingthei ho lhaving ho chu khat le khat akijop jel cheh in ahi. Khat cheh a chu akipat doh teng leh kihei louvin jangpet in masang lam ngan akijot jiuve.
10 [of the creatures had four faces]. The face that was in front [of each one was a face that] resembled a human face. The face on the right side resembled a lion’s face. The face on the left side resembled an ox’s face. The face in back resembled an eagle’s face.
Amasang uva chun mihem mai aneiyun, ajetlang uva chun keipi mai aneiyun, aveilang uva chun bongchal mai aneiyun, chule anung lam uva chun muvanlai mai anei cheh uve.
11 Two of each creature’s wings were lifted up and touched the wings of the creatures that were on each side. The other two wings were folded against the creature’s body.
Khat cheh chun lhaving kijal doh kopni cheh aneiyun, kopn khat cheh chu akijal doh teng ganhing achom khat cheh lhaving chutoh akijop mat jel jengin, chule kop khat cheh chun atahsao akhu chah kheh cheh un ahi.
12 The creatures went straight ahead in whatever direction the [that controlled/guided them] wanted them to go, without changing directions while they were moving.
Amaho chu ipi hijongle lhagaovin alhenpeh nalam ngan ajet aveija kiheidoh lou hellin jangpet in ache pai jeng jiuve.
13 [four] creatures resembled burning coals or torches. A blazing fire moved back and forth among the creatures, and lighting flashed from among them.
Ganhing liho chu meihol ampem puma kou abangin, ahilouleh meisel lou vah pempum kide abangin, chule kolphe vah bangin amaho lah a chun aki nungtol akima tollun ahi.
14 The creatures moved back and [extremely rapidly], like [SIM] flashes of lightning.
Chule ganhing liho chu kolphe vahlap lap bang khun achom le jap jap jeng uvin ahi.
15 While I looked at the four living creatures, I saw a wheel on the ground beside each of them.
Hitia keiman ganhing liho chu kavetna ahileh leiset chunga chun kangtalai kang ho chu akomuva chun kamun kang khat cheh chu amaho khat cheh a achandiu chu ahi.
16 Each of the wheels was the same, and they all shone like [SIM] (chrysolite/a valuable green stone). Each seemed to have one wheel inside another wheel.
Kangtalai khat cheh chu hoitah a vahsetna song en tobanga kisemin akimun, liho chu abpn uvin kibang cheh akimun, chule amaho chu kibang cheh a kisem ahiuvin kang khat cheh velkol a chu kangni na aneicheh uve.
17 Whenever they moved, they would go straight in one of the four directions that they faced; they did not [in another direction] while they moved.
Hiche ho chu akitol tengule kihei lou hella gamkai li a achu angat na lam lama chu kihei jeng thei ahiuve.
18 The rims of the wheels were covered with eyes.
Hiche kang li ho chu sang tah cheh ahiuvin, chule timul tho aumin, chule akang ho kimvel a chun met jeng mit jeng in atom dimsetne.
19 Whenever the living creatures moved, the wheels moved with them. [So] whenever the creatures rose from the ground, the [also] rose up.
Ganhing ho chu ache tenguleh kangtalai kang ho jong chu amaho toh thakhat'in achekhom jiuvin, chung langa alen tou teng uleh akang ho jong chu ache tou jiuve.
20 Wherever the [that controlled the creatures] wanted the creatures to go, they went, and the wheels went with them, because the [that controlled/guided them] was in the wheels [DOU].
Ganhing ho lhagao chu akang ho a chu uma ahi. Hijeh a chu lhagao chena lam lama chu akang ho le ganhing ho jong che jiu ahi.
21 Whenever the creatures moved, the wheels moved. Whenever the creatures [still], the wheels stopped. Whenever the creatures rose up from the ground, the wheels rose up with them.
Hiche ho chu ache teng uleh akang ho chu che jiu ahin, hiche ho chu adin teng uleh akang ho kinga ji ahi. Hiche ho chu chung langa alen tou tengu leh akanga chu ganhing ho lhagao uma ahijeh chun akang ho chu akipat doh jiuvin ahi.
22 Above the heads of the creatures there was something that resembled a dome. It shone like ice (OR, crystal) shines, and it was awesome.
Aluvum uva kijal doh chu vanthamjol tobang khat akidalin songvalset vah'in avahsetne.
23 Under the dome, the creatures stretched out their wings. Each one had two wings; [each wing] stretched towards the creature [was next to] it, and two wings that were against the creature’s body.
Anoija chun ganhing ho lhavingu chu khat leh khat kijop cheh in akijal doh in chule alhaving ni chun atahsau khat cheh chu akhun ahi.
24 Whenever the creatures moved, their wings made a sound that resembled the roar made by a rushing stream. It also sounded like the voice of Almighty God, and like [SIM] the noise of a huge army marching. Whenever the creatures stood [on the ground], they lowered their wings.
Alen teng ule alhaving ho gin husau chu keima jah in twitam tah in twipang hattah a atagin ahiloule Hatchungung ogin ahiloule, sepai hon tamtah husa gin bangin kajan ahi. Adin teng uleh alhaving u chu akhailha jiuve.
25 While they [on the ground] with their wings lowered, there was a voice from the dome that was over their heads.
Alhaving u akhailhah uva adin teng uleh vanthamjol tobang valset chunga kon chun o khat in thu ahin seijin ahi.
26 Above the dome was something that resembled [huge] [that was made of a huge] (sapphire/valuable blue stone). Sitting on the throne was someone that resembled a human.
Achung vum'a chun songval duma kisem laltouna tobang khat akimun ahi. Chule hiche laltouna sangtah chunga kitousah pachu mihem lim leh melput tobang ahi.
27 I saw that above his waist his body resembled metal that was glowing as though it [a very hot] fire inside it. And I saw that below his waist there was a very brilliant light that surrounded him.
Akongbuh akipat akilah dan chu khichang vala meikou olla kimujap bangin akimun ahi. Chule akongbuh noilamse chu meikou tobang'in akimvel vah pempum bangin akimun ahi.
28 [shone] like [SIM] a rainbow shines in the clouds on a rainy day. That was the brilliant light that represented the presence of Yahweh. When I saw it, I prostrated myself on the ground, and I heard him speak.
Gojuh nikho a meilah a lhagui kimu bang khun avah pempum in ahi. Hiche hi Pakai loupina keiman kamu abangin, keiman hichehi kamu phat in kamai tollah kasulut in ahileh ogin khat in keima koma ogin kkhat anasei chu kajan ahi.
