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.
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 the fifth day of that month—it was the fifth year of the exile of King Jehoiachin—
Nʼụbọchị nke ise nʼọnwa ahụ, ọ bụ nʼafọ nke ise mgbe a dọkpụụrụ eze Jehoiakin jee mba ọzọ,
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.
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 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.
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 In the middle was the likeness of four living creatures. This was their appearance: They had the likeness of a man,
Ihe e kere eke anọ dị ndụ, nke yiri mmadụ nʼụdịdị ha, nọkwa nʼetiti oke ihe ahụ.
6 but they had four faces each, and each of the creatures had four wings.
Nke ọbụla nʼime ha nwere ihu anọ, na nku anọ.
7 Their legs were straight, but the soles of their feet were like the hooves of a calf that shone like polished bronze.
Ụkwụ ha guzoro kwem; ọbụ ụkwụ ha dịka nke nwa ehi, na-amụkekwa dịka bronz e hichara nke ọma.
8 Yet they had human hands under their wings on all four sides. For all four, their faces and wings were like this:
Nʼokpuru nku ha, ha nwere aka yiri aka mmadụ nʼakụkụ anọ ha niile. Otu a ka ihu ha na nku anọ dị.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Each went straight forward, so that wherever the Spirit directed them to go, they went without turning.
Ha niile gawara nʼihu. Ebe ọbụla mmụọ ahụ gara ka ha na-aga, na-eleghị anya nʼazụ.
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.
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 The living creatures were moving swiftly back and forth, and they had the appearance of lightning!
Ihe ndị ahụ dị ndụ na-efegharị nʼebe a, na-efegharịkwa nʼebe nke ọzọ, dịka mgbe amụma na-egbu.
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.
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 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.
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 As they moved, they went in any of their four directions, without turning as they went.
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 As for their rims, they were high and fearsome, for the rims were full of eyes round about.
Azụ ụkwụ ụgbọ agha ha dị elu, dịkwa egwu. Anya jupụtakwara nʼazụ ụkwụ ụgbọ agha ndị ahụ.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 A voice came from above the dome over their heads whenever they stood still and lowered their wings.
Mgbe ahụ ha kwụsịrị mechie nku ha olu sitere nʼime ihe ahụ dịka mbara eluigwe nke dị nʼelu isi ha na-abịa.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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.
