Ezekiel 1
1 And it cometh to pass, in the thirtieth year, in the fourth [month], in the fifth of the month, and I [am] in the midst of the Removed by the river Chebar, the heavens have been opened, and I see visions of God.
Pada tahun ketiga puluh, dalam bulan yang keempat, pada tanggal lima bulan itu, ketika aku bersama-sama dengan para buangan berada di tepi sungai Kebar, terbukalah langit dan aku melihat penglihatan-penglihatan tentang Allah.
2 In the fifth of the month — it is the fifth year of the removal of the king Jehoiachin —
Pada tanggal lima bulan itu, yaitu tahun kelima sesudah raja Yoyakhin dibuang,
3 hath the word of Jehovah certainly been unto Ezekiel son of Buzi the priest, in the land of the Chaldeans, by the river Chebar, and there is on him there a hand of Jehovah.
datanglah firman TUHAN kepada imam Yehezkiel, anak Busi, di negeri orang Kasdim di tepi sungai Kebar, dan di sana kekuasaan TUHAN meliputi dia.
4 And I look, and lo, a tempestuous wind is coming from the north, a great cloud, and fire catching itself, and brightness to it round about, and out of its midst as the colour of copper, out of the midst of the fire.
Lalu aku melihat, sungguh, angin badai bertiup dari utara, dan membawa segumpal awan yang besar dengan api yang berkilat-kilat dan awan itu dikelilingi oleh sinar; di dalam, di tengah-tengah api itu kelihatan seperti suasa mengkilat.
5 And out of its midst [is] a likeness of four living creatures, and this [is] their appearance; a likeness of man [is] to them,
Dan di tengah-tengah itu juga ada yang menyerupai empat makhluk hidup dan beginilah kelihatannya mereka: mereka menyerupai manusia,
6 and four faces [are] to each, and four wings [are] to each of them,
tetapi masing-masing mempunyai empat muka dan pada masing-masing ada pula empat sayap.
7 and their feet [are] straight feet, and the sole of their feet [is] as a sole of a calf's foot, and they are sparkling as the colour of bright brass;
Kaki mereka adalah lurus dan telapak kaki mereka seperti kuku anak lembu; kaki-kaki ini mengkilap seperti tembaga yang baru digosok.
8 and hands of man under their wings — on their four sides, and their faces and their wings — [are] to them four;
Pada keempat sisi mereka di bawah sayap-sayapnya tampak tangan manusia. Mengenai muka dan sayap mereka berempat adalah begini:
9 joining one unto another [are] their wings, they turn not round in their going, each straight forward they go.
mereka saling menyentuh dengan sayapnya; mereka tidak berbalik kalau berjalan, masing-masing berjalan lurus ke depan.
10 As to the likeness of their faces, the face of a man, and the face of a lion, toward the right [are] to them four, and the face of an ox on the left [are] to them four, and the face of an eagle [are] to them four.
Muka mereka kelihatan begini: Keempatnya mempunyai muka manusia di depan, muka singa di sebelah kanan, muka lembu di sebelah kiri, dan muka rajawali di belakang.
11 And their faces and their wings are separate from above, to each [are] two joining together, and two are covering their bodies.
Sayap-sayap mereka dikembangkan ke atas; mereka saling menyentuh dengan sepasang sayapnya dan sepasang sayap yang lain menutupi badan mereka.
12 And each straight forward they go, whither the spirit is to go, they go, they turn not round in their going.
Masing-masing berjalan lurus ke depan; ke arah mana roh itu hendak pergi, ke sanalah mereka pergi, mereka tidak berbalik kalau berjalan.
13 As to the likeness of the living creatures, their appearances [are] as coals of fire — burning as the appearance of lamps; it is going up and down between the living creatures, and brightness [is] to the fire, and out of the fire is going forth lightning.
Di tengah makhluk-makhluk hidup itu kelihatan seperti bara api yang menyala, seperti suluh, yang bergerak kian ke mari di antara makhluk-makhluk hidup itu, dan api itu bersinar sedang dari api itu kilat sabung-menyabung.
14 And the living creatures are running, and turning back, as the appearance of the flash.
Makhluk-makhluk hidup itu terbang ke sana ke mari seperti kilat.
15 And I see the living creatures, and lo, one wheel [is] in the earth, near the living creatures, at its four faces.
Aku melihat, sungguh, di atas tanah di samping masing-masing dari keempat makhluk-makhluk hidup itu ada sebuah roda.
16 The appearance of the wheels and their works [is] as the colour of beryl, and one likeness [is] to them four, and their appearances and their works [are] as it were the wheel in the midst of the wheel.
Rupa roda-roda itu seperti kilauan permata pirus dan keempatnya adalah serupa; buatannya seolah-olah roda yang satu di tengah-tengah yang lain.
17 On their four sides, in their going they go, they turn not round in their going.
Kalau mereka berjalan mereka dapat menuju keempat jurusan; mereka tidak berbalik kalau berjalan.
18 As to their rings, they are both high and fearful, and their rings [are] full of eyes round about them four.
Mereka mempunyai lingkar dan aku melihat, bahwa sekeliling lingkar yang empat itu penuh dengan mata.
19 And in the going of the living creatures, the wheels go beside them, and in the living creatures being lifted up from off the earth, lifted up are the wheels.
Kalau makhluk-makhluk hidup itu berjalan, roda-roda itu juga berjalan di samping mereka; dan kalau makhluk-makhluk hidup itu terangkat dari atas tanah, roda-roda itu turut terangkat.
20 Whither the spirit is to go, they go, thither the spirit [is] to go, and the wheels are lifted up over-against them, for a living spirit [is] in the wheels.
Ke arah mana roh itu hendak pergi, ke sanalah mereka pergi, dan roda-rodanya sama-sama terangkat dengan mereka, sebab roh makhluk-makhluk hidup itu berada di dalam roda-rodanya.
21 In their going, they go; and in their standing, they stand; and in their being lifted up from off the earth, lifted up are the wheels over-against them; for a living spirit [is] in the wheels.
Kalau makhluk-makhluk hidup itu berjalan, roda-roda itu berjalan; kalau mereka berhenti, roda-roda itu berhenti; dan kalau mereka terangkat dari tanah, roda-roda itu sama-sama terangkat dengan mereka; sebab roh makhluk-makhluk hidup itu berada di dalam roda-rodanya.
22 And a likeness [is] over the heads of the living creatures of an expanse, as the colour of the fearful ice, stretched out over their heads from above.
Di atas kepala makhluk-makhluk hidup itu ada yang menyerupai cakrawala, yang kelihatan seperti hablur es yang mendahsyatkan, terbentang di atas kepala mereka.
23 And under the expanse their wings [are] straight, one toward the other, to each are two covering on this side, and to each are two covering on that side — their bodies.
Dan di bawah cakrawala itu sayap mereka dikembangkan lurus, yang satu menyinggung yang lain; dan masing-masing mempunyai sepasang sayap yang menutupi badan mereka.
24 And I hear the noise of their wings, as the noise of many waters, as the noise of the Mighty One, in their going — the noise of tumult, as the noise of a camp, in their standing they let fall their wings.
Kalau mereka berjalan, aku mendengar suara sayapnya seperti suara air terjun yang menderu, seperti suara Yang Mahakuasa, seperti keributan laskar yang besar; kalau mereka berhenti, sayapnya dibiarkan terkulai.
25 And there is a voice from above the expanse, that [is] above their head: in their standing they let fall their wings.
Maka kedengaranlah suara dari atas cakrawala yang ada di atas kepala mereka; kalau mereka berhenti, sayapnya dibiarkan terkulai.
26 And above the expanse that [is] over their head, as an appearance of a sapphire stone, [is] the likeness of a throne, and on the likeness of the throne a likeness, as the appearance of man upon it from above.
Di atas cakrawala yang ada di atas kepala mereka ada menyerupai takhta yang kelihatannya seperti permata lazurit; dan di atas yang menyerupai takhta itu ada yang kelihatan seperti rupa manusia.
27 And I see as the colour of copper, as the appearance of fire within it round about, from the appearance of his loins and upward, and from the appearance of his loins and downward, I have seen as the appearance of fire, and brightness [is] to it round about.
Dari yang menyerupai pinggangnya sampai ke atas aku lihat seperti suasa mengkilat dan seperti api yang ditudungi sekelilingnya; dan dari yang menyerupai pinggangnya sampai ke bawah aku lihat seperti api yang dikelilingi sinar.
28 As the appearance of the bow that is in a cloud in a day of rain, so [is] the appearance of the brightness round about.
Seperti busur pelangi, yang terlihat pada musim hujan di awan-awan, demikianlah kelihatan sinar yang mengelilinginya. Begitulah kelihatan gambar kemuliaan TUHAN. Tatkala aku melihatnya aku sembah sujud, lalu kudengar suara Dia yang berfirman.
