Ezekiel 1
1 In the thirtieth year, the fourth month, and the fifth day of the month, it came about that I was living among the captives by the Kebar Canal. The heavens opened, and I saw visions of God.
第三十年四月の五日に我ケバル河の邊にてかの擄うつされたる者の中にをりしに天ひらけて我神の異象を見たり
2 On the fifth day of that month—it was the fifth year of the exile of King Jehoiachin—
是ヱコニヤ王の擄ゆかれしより第五年のその月の五日なりき
3 the word of Yahweh came to Ezekiel son of Buzi the priest, in the land of the Chaldeans by the Kebar Canal, and the hand of Yahweh was upon him there.
時にカルデヤ人の地に於てケバル河の邊にてヱホバの言祭司ブシの子エゼキエルに臨めりヱホバの手かしこにて彼の上にあり
4 Then I looked, and there was a windstorm coming from the north; a great cloud with fire flashing within it and brightness surrounding it and inside of it, and the fire was the color of amber inside the cloud.
我見しに視よ烈き風大なる雲および燃る火の團塊北より出きたる又雲の周圍に輝光ありその中よりして火の中より熱たる金族のごときもの出づ
5 In the middle was the likeness of four living creatures. This was their appearance: They had the likeness of a man,
其火の中に四箇の生物にて成る一箇の形あり其狀は是のごとし即ち人の象あり
6 but they had four faces each, and each of the creatures had four wings.
各四の面あり各四の翼あり
7 Their legs were straight, but the soles of their feet were like the hooves of a calf that shone like polished bronze.
その足は直なる足その足の跖は犢牛の足の跖のごとくにして磨ける銅のごとくに光れり
8 Yet they had human hands under their wings on all four sides. For all four, their faces and wings were like this:
その生物の四方に翼の下に人の手ありこの四箇の物皆面と翼あり
9 their wings were touching the wings of the next creature, and they did not turn as they went; instead, each one went straight forward.
その翼はたがひに相つらなれりその往ときに回轉ずして各その面の向ふところに行く
10 The likeness of their faces was like the face of a man. The four of them had the face of a lion to the right side, and the four of them had the face of an ox on the left side. They four had also the face of an eagle.
その面の形は人の面のごとし四箇の者右には獅子の面あり四箇の者左には牛の面あり又四箇の者鷲の面あり
11 Their faces were like that, and their wings were spread out above, so that each creature had a pair of wings that touched another creature's wing, and also a pair of wings that covered their bodies.
その面とその翼は上にて分るその各箇の翼二箇は彼と此と相つらなり二箇はその身を覆ふ
12 Each went straight forward, so that wherever the Spirit directed them to go, they went without turning.
各箇その面の向ふところへ行き靈のゆかんとする方に行く又行にまはることなし
13 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches; bright fire also moved about among the creatures, and there were flashes of lightning.
その生物の形は爇る炭の火のごとく松明のごとし火生物の中に此彼に行き火輝きてその火の中より電光いづ
14 The living creatures were moving swiftly back and forth, and they had the appearance of lightning!
その生物奔りて電光の如くに往來す
15 Then I looked at the living creatures; and I saw one wheel on the ground beside each of living creatures with its four faces.
我生物を觀しに生物の近邊にあたりてその四箇の面の前に地の上に輪あり
16 This was the appearance and structure of the wheels: Each wheel was like beryl, and the four had the same likeness; their appearance and structure was like a wheel intersecting another wheel.
其輪の形と作は黄金色の玉のごとしその四箇の形は皆同じその形と作は輪の中に輪のあるがごとくなり
17 As they moved, they went in any of their four directions, without turning as they went.
その行く時は四方に行く行にまはることなし
18 As for their rims, they were high and fearsome, for the rims were full of eyes round about.
その輪輞は高くして畏懼かり輪輞は四箇ともに皆遍く目あり
19 Whenever the living creatures moved, the wheels moved beside them. When the living creatures rose up from the earth, the wheels also rose up.
生物の行く時は輪その傍に行き生物地をはなれて上る時は輪もまた上る
20 Wherever the Spirit would go, they went, and the wheels rose up beside them, for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
凡て靈のゆかんとする所には生物その靈のゆかんとする方に往く輪またその傍に上る是生物の靈輪の中にあればなり
21 Whenever the creatures moved, the wheels also moved; and when the creatures stood still, the wheels stood still; when the creatures rose up from the earth, the wheels rose up beside them, because the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
此の行く時は彼もゆき此の止る時は彼も止り此地をはなれて上る時は輪も共にあがる是生物の靈輪の中にあればなり
22 Over the heads of the living creatures was the likeness of an expansive dome; it looked like awe-inspiring crystal stretched out over their heads above.
生物の首の上に畏しき水晶のごとき穹蒼ありてその首の上に展開る
23 Beneath the dome, each one of the creature's wings stretched out straight and touched another creature's wings. Each of the living creatures also had a pair to cover themselves; each had a pair to cover his own body.
穹蒼の下に其翼直く開きて此と彼とあひ連る又各二箇の翼ありその各の二箇の翼此方彼方にありて身をおほふ
24 Then I heard the sound of their wings. Like the noise of many waters. Like the voice of the Almighty whenever they moved. Like the sound of a rainstorm. Like the sound of an army. Whenever they stood still, they lowered their wings.
我その行く時の羽聲を聞に大水の聲のごとく全能者の聲のごとし其聲音の響は軍勢の聲のごとしその立どまる時は翼を垂る
25 A voice came from above the dome over their heads whenever they stood still and lowered their wings.
その首の上なる穹蒼の上より聲ありその立どまる時は翼を垂る
26 Above the dome over their heads was the likeness of a throne that was like the appearance of a sapphire stone, and on the likeness of the throne was a likeness like the appearance of a man.
首の上なる穹蒼の上に靑玉のごとき寶位の狀式ありその寶位の狀式の上に人のごとき者在す、
27 I saw a figure with the appearance of glowing metal with fire in it from the appearance of his hips up; I saw from the appearance of his hips downward the appearance of fire and brightness all around.
又われその中と周圍に磨きたる銅のごとく火のごとくなる者を見る其人の腰より上も腰より下も火のごとくに見ゆ其周圍に輝光あり
28 Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day was the appearance of the bright light surrounding it. It was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Yahweh. When I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice speaking.
その周圍の輝光は雨の日に雲にあらはるる虹のごとしヱホバの榮光かくのごとく見ゆ我これを見て俯伏したるに語る者の聲あるを聞く
