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,
Ke len aklimekosr in malem akakosr in yac aktolngoul, nga Ezekiel, sie mwet tol, wen natul Buzi, wi mwet Jew ma sruoh su muta sisken Infacl Chebar in acn Babylonia. Kusrao ikakla ac nga liye sie aruruma ke God.
(Yac aklimekosrla tukun utukla Tokosra Jehoiachin nu ke sruoh.)
3 God gave me [in visions here] in Babylonia, and I felt the power [MTY] of Yahweh on me.
Ingo, sisken Infacl Chebar in acn Babylonia, nga tuh lohng ke LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik, ac nga pulakin ku lal oan fuk.
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.
Nga ngetak ac liye sie fohru tuku epang me. Sarom uh sarmelik liki sie pukunyeng lulap, ac yen nukewa rauneak arulana saromrom. Yen ma sarom uh sarmelik we, oasr sie ma saromrom oana osra bronze.
5 In the center of the storm I saw what resembled four living creatures. They resembled humans,
Infulwen paka sac nga liye ma orekla akosr su moul, su oana luman mwet,
6 but each of them had four faces and four wings [DOU].
tusruktu kais sie selos oasr muta akosr ac posohksok akosr.
7 Their legs were straight. Their feet resembled the hooves of calves, and the creatures shone like polished bronze.
Nialos suwohs, ac falkalos oana falken cow mukul uh, su saromrom oana bronze aksaromromyeyukla.
8 On their four sides under their wings there were hands like humans have.
Sayen muta akosr ac posohksok akosr, oasr pac kais sie poun mwet ye posohksok kaclos.
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.
Kais sie ma moul inge elos foralik ac asroelik luo sin posohksok kaclos in akupasrila orala maspang se. Ke elos ac mukuila elos ac tukeni mukuiyak, a manolos tiana forla.
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.
Kais sie ma moul akosr inge oasr muta akosr kac su tiana oana sie: mutun mwet se nget nu meet, mutun lion nget nu layot, mutun cow mukul nget nu lasa, ac mutun eagle nget nu tok.
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.
Luo posohksok ke kais sie ma moul inge asrosrelik in apusralila nu ke ma soko siska lac lac, ac posohksol lula elos sang afinya manolos.
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.
Kais soko ma moul inge nget nu ke eng akosr lun faclu, ouinge u sac ku in fahsr nu yen nukewa, ac tia enenu in forla.
13 [four] creatures resembled burning coals or torches. A blazing fire moved back and forth among the creatures, and lighting flashed from among them.
Inmasrlon ma moul inge oasr ma se oana sukan sul soko su mukuiwot mukuime pacl nukewa, ac e kac uh ngutyak, pusrukla sarom.
14 The creatures moved back and [extremely rapidly], like [SIM] flashes of lightning.
Ma moul inge yuwot yume, wi na mui lun sarom uh.
15 While I looked at the four living creatures, I saw a wheel on the ground beside each of them.
Ke nga ngetang nu ke ma orekla moul akosr inge, nga liyauk wheel akosr pusralla infohk uh, kais sie wheel oan sisken kais soko selos.
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.
Wheel inge kewa oana sie — kais sie selos saromrom oana luman wek saok uh, ac kais sie wheel oasr pac sie wheel pitukelik loac.
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.
Ouinge wheel uh ku in mukui nu ke eng akosr inge kewa.
18 The rims of the wheels were covered with eyes.
Sisken acn raun ke wheel inge nwanala ke atronmuta.
19 Whenever the living creatures moved, the wheels moved with them. [So] whenever the creatures rose from the ground, the [also] rose up.
Pacl nukewa ma moul inge ac mukuila, na wheel inge ac mukuiyak pac, ac ma moul inge fin sohkak liki faclu, na wheel inge ac wi pac sohkak.
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].
Ma moul inge som nu yen nukewa elos lungse som nu we, ac wheel inge ac wi pacna, mweyen ma moul uh pa leum faclos.
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.
Ouinge pacl nukewa ma moul inge mukuila ku tui ku sohkak nu yen engyeng uh, na wheel inge ac oru oapana.
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.
Lucng liki sifen ma moul inge, oasr sie ma raun oana luman sie pol lulap oankiyuki, orekla ke crystal na saromrom.
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.
Ma moul inge tu ye ma raun sac, ac kais sie selos asroela luo sin posohksok lal ah nu ke ma moul ma tu siskal kewa. Posohksok luo ngia el sang afinya manol.
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.
Ke pacl elos sohksok, nga lohng pusren posohksok lalos uh oana ngirngir lun noa tok uh, ku oana pusren un mwet mweun lulap, ku oana pusren God Kulana. Ac ke pacl elos ac tui tila sohk, elos ac orani posohksok lalos,
25 While they [on the ground] with their wings lowered, there was a voice from the dome that was over their heads.
tusruktu srakna oasr pusra se tuku lucng liki ma raun se fin sifalos.
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.
Lucng liki ma raun sac oasr ma se oan we oana luman tron se orekla ke eot sapphire, ac oasr sie ma su muta fin tron sac su oana luman mwet se.
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.
Infulwalyak nu lucng oana bronze saromrom infulwen sie e, ac infulwali nu ten oana luman firirrir lun e uh. Acn nukewa rauneak arulana kalem,
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.
ac tuhn nukewa ke lelakem uh oasr kac. Kalem se inge, su arulana saromrom, akkalemye lah LEUM GOD El oasr we. Ke nga liye ma se inge, nga putati ac oankiyuki infohk uh. Na nga lohng pusra se kaskas.
