1 Le ƒe blaetɔ̃lia ƒe ɣleti enelia me, le ŋkeke atɔ̃lia gbe, esi menɔ aboyomenɔlawo dome le Kebar Tɔsisi la to la, dziƒowo nu ʋu, eye mekpɔ ŋutega tso Mawu ŋu.
And it was don, in the thrittithe yeer, in the fourthe monethe, in the fyuethe dai of the moneth, whanne Y was in the myddis of caitifs, bisidis the flood Chobar, heuenes weren openyd, and Y siy the reuelaciouns of God.
2 Le ɣleti la ƒe ŋkeke atɔ̃lia gbe, esi woɖe aboyo Fia Yehoyatsin la,
In the fyueth dai of the monethe; thilke is the fyuethe yeer of passing ouer of Joachym, kyng of Juda;
3 Yehowa ƒe gbe va na nunɔla Hezekiel, Buzi ƒe vi, le Kebar Tɔsisi la to, le Babilonianyigba dzi. Yehowa ƒe asi va edzi le afi ma.
the word of the Lord was maad to Ezechiel, preest, the sone of Busi, in the lond of Caldeis, bisidis the flood Chobar; and the hond of the Lord was maad there on hym.
4 Melé ŋku ɖe nuwo ŋu, eye mekpɔ ahomya gbɔna tso anyiehe kple lilikpo gã aɖe si le dzo kem, eye keklẽ gã aɖe ƒo xlãe. Dzo la titina ɖi ga si le keklẽm,
And Y siy, and lo! a whirlewynd cam fro the north, and a greet cloude, and fier wlappynge in, and briytnesse in the cumpas therof; and as the licnesse of electre fro the myddis therof, that is, fro the myddis of the fier.
5 eye nu siwo le dzo la me la le abe nu gbagbewo ene. Woƒe dzedzeme le abe amegbetɔ tɔ ene,
And of myddis therof was a licnesse of foure beestis. And this was the biholdyng of tho, the licnesse of a man in tho.
6 ke mo ene kple aʋala ene nɔ ɖe sia ɖe si.
And foure faces weren to oon, and foure wyngis weren to oon.
7 Woƒe afɔwo dzɔ; woƒe afɔwo le abe nyivi tɔwo ene, eye wole dzo dam abe ayawagba si ŋu woƒã la ene.
And the feet of tho weren streiyt feet, and the soole of the foote of tho was as the soole of a foot of a calf, and sparclis, as the biholdynge of buylynge bras.
8 Amegbetɔ ƒe asi nɔ woƒe aʋalawo te le woƒe axa eneawo dzi. Wo ame eneawo katã to mowo kple aʋalawo,
And the hondis of a man weren vndur the wyngis of tho, in foure partis. And tho hadden faces and wyngis bi foure partis;
9 eye woƒe aʋalawo ka wo nɔewo ŋuti. Wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe yia ŋgɔ tẽe; wometrɔa kɔ ne wole yiyim o.
and the wyngis of tho weren ioyned togidir of oon to another. Tho turneden not ayen, whanne tho yeden, but eche yede bifore his face.
10 Woƒe mowo dzena ale: amegbetɔ ƒe mo li na wo ame eneawo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe; dzata ƒe mo le ɖusime, nyitsu ƒe mo le miame, eye hɔ̃ ƒe mo li na ɖe sia ɖe.
Forsothe the licnesse `of the face of tho was the face of a man and the face of a lioun at the riythalf of tho foure. Forsothe the face of an oxe was at the left half of tho foure; and the face of an egle was aboue tho foure.
11 Nenemae woƒe mowo le. Woke woƒe aʋalawo me do ɖe dzi. Ɖe sia ɖe ƒe aʋala eve tɔ wo nɔviwo tɔwo le akpa eveawo dzi, eye ɖe sia ɖe tsyɔ aʋala eve.
And the faces of tho and the wengis of tho weren stretchid forth aboue. Twei wyngis of eche weren ioyned togidere, and tweyne hiliden the bodies of tho.
12 Wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe yia ŋgɔ tẽe. Woyia afi sia afi si gbɔgbɔ la yina la, eye wometrɔna yia teƒe bubu aɖeke o.
And ech of tho yede bifore his face. Where the fersnesse of the wynd was, thidur tho yeden, and turneden not ayen, whanne tho yeden.
13 Nu gbagbeawo ƒe dzedzeme nɔ abe dzoka xɔxɔ alo akakati bibi ene. Dzo la ʋãna yia megbe kple ŋgɔgbe le nu gbagbeawo dome. Dzo la klẽna, eye dzikedzo dona tso eme.
And the licnesse of the beestis, and the biholdyng of tho, was as of brennynge coolis of fier, and as the biholdyng of laumpis. This was the siyt rennynge aboute in the myddis of beestis, the schynyng of fier, and leit goynge out of the fier.
14 Nu gbagbeawo nɔa du dzi, yia megbe, yia ŋgɔgbe abe dzikedzo ene.
And the beestis yeden, and turneden ayen at the licnesse of leit schynynge.
15 Esi melé ŋku ɖe nu gbagbeawo ŋu la, mekpɔ tasiaɖam ƒe afɔ ɖeka le anyigba le nu gbagbe ene siwo si mo le la dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe gbɔ.
And whanne Y bihelde the beestis, o wheel, hauuynge foure faces, apperide on the erthe, bisidis the beestis.
16 Tasiaɖam ƒe afɔawo ƒe dzedzeme kple ale si wowɔ woe la le ale: woklẽna abe adzagba ene, eye wo ame eneawo katã ɖi wo nɔewo. Ɖe sia ɖe dze abe ɖe wowɔe be wòade nu nɔvia me ene.
And the biholdyng of the wheelis and the werk of tho was as the siyt of the see; and o licnesse was of tho foure; and the biholdyng and the werkis of tho, as if a wheel be in the myddis of a wheel.
17 Ne woɖe zɔ la, woyia teƒe eneawo dometɔ ɖeka si nu gbagbeawo trɔ mo ɖo. Ne nu gbagbeawo le yiyim la, tasiaɖam la ƒe afɔawo metrɔna le wo ŋu o.
Tho goynge yeden bi foure partis of tho, and turneden not ayen, whanne tho yeden.
18 Tasiaɖam ƒe afɔawo dzi ŋɔ, eye ŋkuwo le afɔ eneawo katã ŋu kpe ɖo.
Also stature, and hiynesse, and orible biholdyng was to the wheelis; and al the bodi was ful of iyen in the cumpas of tho foure.
19 Ne nu gbagbeawo ɖe zɔ la, tasiaɖam ƒe afɔ siwo le wo xa la hã ɖea zɔ, eye ne nu gbagbeawo kɔ wo ɖokuiwo dzi tso anyigba la, afɔawo hã kɔa wo ɖokuiwo dzi.
And whanne the beestis yeden, the wheelis also yeden togidere bisidis tho. And whanne the beestis weren reisid fro the erthe, the wheelis also weren reisid togidere.
20 Afi sia afi si gbɔgbɔ la ayi la, woawo hã yina, afɔawo hã kɔa wo ɖokuiwo dzi yina, elabena nu gbagbeawo ƒe gbɔgbɔ le afɔawo hã me.
Whidur euere the spirit yede, whanne the spirit yede thedur, also the wheelis suynge it weren reisid togidere; for whi the spirit of lijf was in the wheelis.
21 Ne nu gbagbeawo ɖe zɔ la, woawo hã ɖea zɔ; ne nu gbagbeawo tɔ la, woawo hã tɔna, eye ne nu gbagbeawo kɔ wo ɖokuiwo dzi tso anyigba la, tasiaɖam ƒe afɔawo hã kɔa wo ɖokuiwo dzi tso anyigba abe nu gbagbeawo ene, elabena nu gbagbeawo ƒe gbɔgbɔ nɔ tasiaɖam ƒe afɔawo me.
Tho yeden with the beestis goynge, and tho stoden with the beestis stondynge. And with the beestis reisid fro erthe, also the wheelis suynge tho beestis weren reisid togidere; for the spirit of lijf was in the wheelis.
22 Nane si ɖi tsikpe, keke, le keklẽm, eye wòdzi ŋɔ la, keke ɖe nu gbagbeawo tame.
And the licnesse of the firmament was aboue the heed of the beestis, and as the biholdyng of orible cristal, and stretchid abrood on the heed of tho beestis aboue.
23 Nu gbagbeawo keke aʋala ɖekaɖeka do ɖe wo nɔewo gbɔ, eye ɖe sia ɖe tsyɔ aʋala eve na eɖokui.
Forsothe vndur the firmament the wyngis of tho beestis weren streiyt, of oon to anothir; ech beeste hilide his bodi with twei wyngis, and an other was hilid in lijk maner.
24 Esi nu gbagbeawo ɖe zɔ la, mese gbeɖiɖi aɖe tso woƒe aʋalawo me abe tɔsisiwo ƒe ɖiɖi ene, abe Ŋusẽkatãtɔ la ƒe gbe ene, abe aʋakɔ aɖe ƒe ʋunyaʋunyawɔwɔ ene. Ne nu gbagbeawo tɔ ɖe teƒe ɖeka la, woɖiɖia woƒe aʋalawo.
And Y herde the sown of wyngis, as the sown of many watris, as the sown of hiy God. Whanne tho yeden, ther was as a sown of multitude, as the sown of oostis of batel; and whanne tho stoden, the wyngis of tho weren late doun.
25 Gbe aɖe ɖi tso nu si xe tame na wo la tame esi wotɔ heɖiɖi woƒe aʋalawo.
For whi whanne a vois was maad on the firmament, that was on the heed of tho, tho stoden, and leten doun her wyngis.
26 Nane si ɖi fiazikpui si wowɔ kple kpe xɔasi ene la le nu si xe woƒe tame la tame, eye nane si ɖi ame la nɔ fiazikpui la dzi le yame ʋĩi.
And on the firmament, that was aboue the heed of tho, was as the biholdyng of a saphire stoon, the licnesse of a trone; and on the licnesse of the trone was a licnesse, as the biholdyng of a man aboue.
27 Mekpɔ be nu si dze abe eƒe ali gbɔ ene, yi eƒe dzime la, le abe ga si le keklẽm ene. Tso afi ma yi anyigba la, le abe dzo ene, eye keklẽ gã aɖe ƒo xlãe.
And Y siy as a licnesse of electre, as the biholding of fier with ynne, bi the cumpas therof; fro the lendis of hym and aboue, and fro the lendis of him til to bynethe, Y siy as the licnesse of fier schynynge in cumpas,
28 Ale si anyieʋɔ dzena le lilikpowo me ne tsi dza la, nenema keklẽ la nɔ ƒo xlãe. Esia dze abe Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe ene. Esi mekpɔe la, medze anyi, tsyɔ mo anyi, eye mese ame aɖe ƒe gbe.
as the biholdynge of the reynbowe, whanne it is in the cloude in the dai of reyn. This was the biholdyng of schynyng bi cumpas. This was a siyt of the licnesse of the glorie of the Lord. And Y siy, and felle doun on my face; and Y herde the vois of a spekere.
