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,
Eso bi amola oubi biyadu amola ode 30 amoga, na (Isigiele, gobele salasu dunu, Busai amo egefe) amola Yu mugululi asi dunu amo da Giba Hano, Ba: bilone soge ganodini, amo ea bega: esalu. Mu da doalegele, na da Gode esalebe ba: la: lu.
(Musa: , Ba: bilone dunu da hina bagade Yehoiagini afugili asi. Ode bi gidigili, waha hou doaga: i.)
3 God gave me [in visions here] in Babylonia, and I felt the power [MTY] of Yahweh on me.
Goega, Ba: bilone soge ganodini amola Giba Hano bega: , na da Hina Gode nama sia: sia: nebe amola Ea gasa na nabi.
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.
Na da ba: le gadole ba: loba, isu bagade gagoe (north) amoga manebe ba: i. Mu mobi ganumu ganodini ha: ha: na bagade da: gini gaga: lalebe ba: i. Amola mu huluane da hadigili fasi agoane galu. Ha: ha: na ea digala: i sogebi ganodini, liligi amo da balase ela: mei ea hadigi agoane ba: i.
5 In the center of the storm I saw what resembled four living creatures. They resembled humans,
Isu mabe modoga, na da esalebe liligi dunu agoane esalebe ba: i.
6 but each of them had four faces and four wings [DOU].
Be ilia afae afae da odagi biyaduyale amola ougia biyaduyale agoane galebe ba: i.
7 Their legs were straight. Their feet resembled the hooves of calves, and the creatures shone like polished bronze.
Ilia emo da moloidafa amola ilia emo gafe da bulamagau gawali ea emo gafe agoane ba: i. Ilia hadigi da balase ela: mei agoai ba: i.
8 On their four sides under their wings there were hands like humans have.
Ilia afae afae da odagi biyaduyale gala amola ougia biyaduyale, amola ilia ougia afae afae hagudu dunu ea lobo biyaduyale agoai ba: i.
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.
Ilia afae afae da ougia aduna molole galoba amoga ea na: iyado ea ougia fe disisi ba: i. Amoga ilia da gagili agoane hamosu. Ilia ahoanoba, ilia da gilisili ahoasu. Amola ilia da: i hodo hame delegisu.
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.
Amola amo esalebe liligi ilia odagi biyaduyale da hisu hisu ba: i. Midadini da dunu odagi agoane ba: i. Lobodafadili, da laione wa: me ea odagi agoai ba: i. Lobo fofadidili da bulamagau gawali ea odagi agoai ba: i. Amola baligidi da buhiba ea odagi agoai ba: i.
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.
Ilia afae afae da ougia aduna molole galoba, amoga ea na: iyado ea ougia fe disisi ba: i. Ilia ougia aduna eno da ilia da: i sosoi ba: i.
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.
Ilia afae afae da odagi biyaduyale galebeba: le, ili biyaduyale gala ba: beba: le, mae delegili masunu dawa: i galu.
13 [four] creatures resembled burning coals or torches. A blazing fire moved back and forth among the creatures, and lighting flashed from among them.
Ilia gilisi modoga, hanu ololasia fofogosa wili gala: lebe ba: i. Lalu da ha: ha: na nene yogili gaga: la: lebe agoane ba: i.
14 The creatures moved back and [extremely rapidly], like [SIM] flashes of lightning.
Amola esalebe liligi ilia da ha: ha: na agoane hedolodafa dagini gaga: la ahoanebe ba: i.
15 While I looked at the four living creatures, I saw a wheel on the ground beside each of them.
Na da esalebe liligi biyaduyale gala ba: laloba, na da emo sisiga: i biyaduyale gala, amo afae afae da ili galu dafulili osoboga digila sa: i bai.
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.
Eno sisiga: i da defele agoai ba: i. Ilia afae afae ea hadigi da igi ida: iwane agoane ba: i. Amola amo sisiga: i emo afae afae amo ganodini emo sisiga: i eno bulufalegele dialebe ba: i.
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.
Amaiba: le, amo emo sisiga: i da la: dila la: dilale ahoasu dawa: i galu.
18 The rims of the wheels were covered with eyes.
Emo sisiga: i fe amoga si bagohame dedeboi dagoi ba: i.
19 Whenever the living creatures moved, the wheels moved with them. [So] whenever the creatures rose from the ground, the [also] rose up.
Esalebe liligi da ahoanoba, emo sisiga: i amola da gilisili ahoanebe ba: i. Amola esalebe liligi da gado heda: loba, emo sisiga: i amola da gilisili heda: su.
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].
Esalebe liligi da ilia hanaiga ahoasu amola ilia hamobe defele emo sisiga: i da hamosu. Bai esalebe liligi da emo sisiga: i genonesisu.
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.
Amaiba: le, esalebe liligi da ahoanoba, o yolesilaloba, o gado heda: loba, emo sisiga: i da galu defele hamosu.
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.
Esalebe liligi ilia dialuma dabua gado amo da wagebei diasu figisu hadigi igi amoga hamoi agoane dialebe ba: i.
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.
Amo wagebei diasu figisu agoai liligi hagudu, esalebe liligi da ilia afae afae da ea ougia aduna amo eno amo gadenene molole galoba, ougia aduna amoga elela: da: i dedeboi ba: i.
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.
Na da ilia hagili ahoa ougia ea sia: nabi dagoi. Amo sia: da hano wayabo bagade fugala: be agoai amola dadi gagui gilisisu bagade ilia bulalisu amola Gode Bagadedafa Ea sia: amola agoaiwane nabi. Ilia hagili ahoasu yolesili, ilia ougia bodola: le gudui.
25 While they [on the ground] with their wings lowered, there was a voice from the dome that was over their heads.
Be sia: bagade amo wagebei diasu figisu agoai liligi dabua gadodili manebe nabalu da hame yolesi.
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.
Wagebei diasu figisu agoai liligi dabua gado amoga fisu liligi igi ida: iwane agoaiga hamoi dialebe ba: i. Amola amo da: iya dunu agoai esalebe ba: i.
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.
Amo dunu agoai da balase lalu ganodini dialebe, ela: mei agoai ba: i. Ea da: i hodo huluane da digaga: la: le, sona: ni agoai ba: i. Amo hadigi si nenemigi da Hina Gode Ea esalebe olelei.
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.
