< Ezekiel 1 >
1 Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth [month], in the fifth [day] of the month, as I [was] among the captives by the river of Kebar, [that] the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
Tamy andro faha-lime ty volam-pahefa’ i taom-paha-telo-poloy, izaho nitraok’ amo naseseo, añ’olon-tsaka Kebare eo, le nisokake o likerañeo vaho niaroñaroñeko i Andrinañahare.
2 In the fifth [day] of the month, which [was] the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity,
Tamy andro faha-lime’ i volañeiy, i taom-paha-lime naha aman-drohi’ Ioiakine mpanjakay,
3 The word of the LORD came expressly to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Kebar; and the hand of the LORD was there upon him.
le niheo am’ Iekezkèle mpisoroñe ana’ i Bozy, an-tane’ o nte-Kasdio, añ’ olon-tsaka Kebarey, ty tsara’ Iehovà, vaho tama’e ty fità’ Iehovà.
4 And I looked, and behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness [was] about it, and from the midst of it as the color of amber, from the midst of the fire.
Izaho nañente, le hehe te boak’ avaratsey ty tio-bey: rahoñe jabajaba niarisehoam-palipalitsieñe, le nitolom-pitsopèlatse boak’ama’e ty afo, vaho an-teñateña’ i afoy ty mañirinkiriñe ty vato-voñe miloeloe.
5 Also from the midst of it [came] the likeness of four living creatures. And this [was] their appearance; they had the likeness of a man.
Hoe raha veloñe efatse ty añivo’e eo le hoe sandri’ ondaty. ty vinta’ iareo.
6 And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings.
Songa aman-daharañe efatse, sindre amañ’ elatse efatse.
7 And their feet [were] straight feet; and the sole of their feet [was] like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the color of burnished brass.
Nahity o fandia’eo, le nihoe tombon-temboay o fandia’eo vaho nitsopelatsopelatse hoe torisìke vinañe,
8 And [they had] the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings.
ie amam-pità’ondaty efatse ambane’ o ela’eo amo ila’e efatseo. Le hoe zao ty laharañe naho ty ela’ i efatse rey:
9 Their wings [were] joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward.
nifañoza ty ela’ iareo; songa nisitse mahity miaolo, tsy niolake ty fisitsira’e.
10 As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle.
Aa ty amo vintan-dahara’eo: le songa aman-dahara’ ondaty i efatse rey, sindre tarehen-diona ty añ’ila ankavana’e naho tarehen’ añombe ty an-kavia’ i efatse rey, vaho sambe aman-tarehem-bantio i efatse rey;
11 Thus [were] their faces: and their wings [were] stretched upward; two [wings] of every one [were] joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.
izay i tarehe’e rey. Nivelatse ambone eo o ela’eo; songa amañ’ elatse roe nifampitakatse ami’ty ela’ ty ila’e, le elatse roe ka ty nanaroñe i sandri’ey,
12 And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; [and] they turned not when they went.
songa nionjoñe mahity mb’eo, ze nimba’ i arofoy ty nimba’e, tsy nivioñe am-pañaveloañe.
13 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance [was] like burning coals of fire, [and] like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.
Ty vinta’ i raha veloñe rey le hoe vaen-afo mirekake, manahake failo mihelohelo mb’etia mb’atia amo raha veloñeo; nireandreañe i afoy, vaho nipelatse boak’ añ’afo ao ty helatse.
14 And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.
Nipelapelatse mb’ eo hoe fipelan-kelatse i raha veloñe rey.
15 Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces.
Ie nañente i raha veloñe rey iraho, le nahatrea te songa aman-darò an-tane añ’ila i raha veloñe efatse rey.
16 The appearance of the wheels and their work [was] like the color of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work [was] as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel.
Aa ty amy vinta’ o laròo naho ty fitseneañe iareo, le hoe am-bintañe berile miloeloe, nihambam-bintañe iaby i efatse rey, rinanjy hoe larò añ’ate’ ty larò.
17 When they went, they went upon their four sides: [and] they returned not when they went.
Ie nañavelo mb’aman-dra aia aia amo zoro-tane efatseo le tsy nivioñe te nionjoñe.
18 As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings [were] full of eyes around them four.
Abo naho naharevendreveñe o bandin-darò’eo amy te tsitsike maso o zanti’eo.
19 And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.
Ie nisitsitse i raha veloñe rey le nandeha ka i larò rey añ’ila’ iareo eo; aa ie nionjoñe mb’añ’abo mb’eo i raha veloñe rey le nionjoñe ka i larò rey.
20 Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither [was their] spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature [was] in the wheels.
Ndra aia’ aia nandenà’ i arofoy, ty nandenà’ iareo, le nindre nionjoñe am’ iereo i larò rey; amy te tañate’ o larò’eo ty arofo’ i raha veloñe rey.
21 When those went, [these] went; and when those stood, [these] stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature [was] in the wheels.
Ie nisitse le nisitse ka ty larò; ie nijohañe le nitsangañe ka ty larò; vaho ie nionjo boak’ an-tane eo, le nindre nionjoñe ka i larò rey; amy te tam-po’ o laròo ao ty arofo’ o raha veloñeo.
22 And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creature [was] as the color of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above.
Ambone’ ty loha’ o raha veloñeo le ty nanahake tafo-bokoke, niloeloe hoe kristaly, milañelañe ambone’ o loha’eo.
23 And under the firmament [were] their wings straight, the one towards the other: every one had two, which covered on this side, and every one had two, which covered on that side, their bodies.
Ambane’ i bokokey le nivelatse mahity o ela’ iareoo, ty raike mb’amy ty raike, le amañ’ elatse roe, nanaroñe ty vata’e ty raike, vaho elatse roe ka ty nanaroñe ty añila’ i vata’ey.
24 And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of a host: when they stood, they let down their wings.
Ie nisitse iereo, le tsinanoko hoe fitroñan-drano bey o ela’eo, manahake ty fiarañanaña’ i El-Sadai, le ty feom-pivalitsikotàhan-dahindefoñe; ie nitsangañe iereo le napoke mañambàne o ela’eo.
25 And there was a voice from the firmament that [was] over their heads, when they stood, [and] had let down their wings.
Aa ie niboak’ amy bokoke ambone’ loha’ iareo eiy ty fiarañanañañe, le nijohañe eo vaho naradorado’ iareo o ela’eo.
26 And above the firmament that [was] over their heads [was] the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne [was] the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it.
Ambone’ ty bokok’ ambone’ o loha’ iareoo le nihoe fiambesatse, naho hoe safira t’ie nirendreheñe; vaho niambesatse ambone’ i hoe fiambesatsey ty nirendreke te amam-binta’ ondaty.
27 And I saw as the color of amber, as the appearance of fire around within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness on all sides.
Le nitreako hoe t’ie am-bolon-torisike mileoloe, hoe afo ty ama’e ao naho miariseho. Boak’ amo hoe vania’eo mañambone, naho hirik’ amo hoe vania’eo mañambane, le hoe afo t’ie nenteako, vaho niarisehoam-pireandreañañe.
28 As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so [was] the appearance of the brightness around. This [was] the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw [it], I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one speaking.
Manahake ty àvañe an-drahoñe an-gobon’ andro ty niboaha’ ty fireandreañe niariseho aze, ie mañirinkiriñe ty vinta’ ty enge’ Iehovà. Aa ie nitreako le nibabok’ an-tareheko vaho tsinanoko ty fiarañanaña’ ty mitsara,
