Ezekieli 1
1 Mwaka-inĩ wa mĩrongo ĩtatũ, mũthenya wa gatano wa mweri wa kana, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ndaarĩ hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia Rũũĩ rwa Kebari tũrĩ hamwe na andũ arĩa maatahĩtwo magatwarwo kuo, igũrũ nĩrĩahingũkire, na niĩ ngĩona cioneki cia Ngai.
It came to passe in the thirtieth yere in the fourth moneth, and in the fift day of the moneth (as I was among the captiues by the riuer Chebar) that the heauens were opened and I sawe visions of GOD.
2 Mũthenya wa gatano wa mweri ũcio, naguo nĩguo mwaka wa ĩtano kuuma Mũthamaki Jehoiakini athaamio,
In the fift day of the moneth (which was the fift yere of King Ioiachins captiuitie)
3 kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩgĩakinyĩrĩire Ezekieli ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, mũrũ wa Buzi, kũu hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia Rũũĩ rwa Kebari, o kũu bũrũri wa Babuloni. Nakuo guoko kwa Jehova kwarĩ igũrũ rĩake.
The word of the Lord came vnto Ezekiel the Priest, the sonne of Buzi, in the lande of the Caldeans, by the riuer Chebar, where the hande of the Lord was vpon him.
4 Ngĩcũthĩrĩria ngĩona rũhuho rwa kĩhuhũkanio rũgĩũka ruumĩte na mwena wa gathigathini, naruo rwarĩ itu inene rĩrĩ na rũheni rũkũhenũka narĩo rĩarigiicĩirio nĩ ũtheri mũcangararu. Gatagatĩ ka mwaki ũcio haahaanaga ta kĩgera kĩraakana,
And I looked, and beholde, a whirlewinde came out of the North, a great cloude and a fire wrapped about it, and a brightnesse was about it, and in the middes thereof, to wit, in the middes of the fire came out as the likenesse of amber.
5 na thĩinĩ wa mwaki ũcio nĩ haarĩ kĩndũ kĩahaanaga ciũmbe inya irĩ muoyo, nacio cionekaga irĩ na mũhianĩre wa mũndũ,
Also out of the middes therof came the likenesse of foure beastes, and this was their forme: they had the appearance of a man.
6 na o kĩmwe gĩacio kĩarĩ na mothiũ mana na mathagu mana.
And euery one had foure faces, and euery one had foure wings.
7 Magũrũ ma cio maarĩ marũngarũ; namo makinya ma cio maatariĩ ta ma gacaũ, na maakengaga ta gĩcango gĩkumuthe.
And their feete were streight feete, and the sole of their feete was like the sole of a calues foote, and they sparkled like the appearance of bright brasse.
8 Rungu rwa mathagu ma cio, mĩena ĩna yacio, ciarĩ na moko ma mũndũ. Ciothe inya ciarĩ na mothiũ na mathagu,
And the handes of a man came out from vnder their wings in the foure parts of them, and they foure had their faces, and their wings.
9 namo mathagu ma cio, nĩmahutanĩtie. O kĩmwe gĩa cio gĩathiiaga kĩerekeire o mbere; itiehũgũraga igĩthiĩ.
They where ioyned by their wings one to another, and when they went forth, they returned not, but euery one went streight forward.
10 Mothiũ ma cio maatariĩ ta ũũ: O kĩmwe gĩa icio inya kĩarĩ na ũthiũ wa mũndũ, na mwena wa ũrĩo o kĩmwe kĩarĩ na ũthiũ wa mũrũũthi, naguo mwena wa ũmotho kĩarĩ na ũthiũ wa ndegwa; o na ningĩ, o kĩmwe gĩa cio kĩarĩ na ũthiũ wa nderi.
And the similitude of their faces was as the face of a man: and they foure had the face of a lyon on the right side, and they foure had the face of a bullocke on the left side: they foure also had the face of an eagle.
11 Ũguo nĩguo mothiũ ma cio maatariĩ. Mathagu ma cio maatambũrũkĩtio na igũrũ; o kĩmwe kĩarĩ na mathagu meerĩ, o ithagu rĩhutanĩtie na ithagu rĩa kĩũmbe kĩrĩa kĩngĩ mĩena yeerĩ, namo mathagu meerĩ makahumbĩra mwĩrĩ wakĩo.
Thus were their faces: but their wings were spred out aboue: two wings of euery one were ioined one to another, and two couered their bodies.
12 O kĩmwe gĩa cio gĩathiiaga kĩrũngĩrĩirie o mbere. O kũrĩa guothe Roho aacierekagĩria, no kuo ciathiiaga itekwĩhũgũra.
And euery one went streight forward: they went whither their spirit led them, and they returned not when they went forth.
13 Ciũmbe icio irĩ muoyo cionagwo ihaana ta makara megwakana mwaki kana ta imũrĩ. Mwaki ũcio wathiiaga thuutha na mbere gatagatĩ-inĩ ga ciũmbe icio; warĩ mũcangararu, na rũheni rwahenũkaga kuuma harĩ guo.
The similitude also of the beasts, and their appearance was like burning coles of fire, and like the appearance of lampes: for the fire ran among the beastes, and the fire gaue a glister, and out of the fire there went lightning.
14 Ciũmbe icio ciaguthũkaga na thuutha na ikaguthũka na mbere ta ũrĩa rũheni rũhenũkaga.
And the beastes ranne, and returned like vnto lightning.
15 Rĩrĩa ndacũthĩrĩirie ciũmbe icio irĩ muoyo, nĩndonire harĩ na kũgũrũ kwa ngaari gũkinyĩte thĩ kũrĩ mwena-inĩ wa o kĩũmbe kĩu kĩrĩ na mothiũ mana.
Nowe as I behelde the beastes, beholde, a wheele appeared vpon the earth by the beastes, hauing foure faces.
16 Naguo mũhianĩre na mũthondekere wa magũrũ macio ma ngaari warĩ ta ũũ: Maahenagia ta thumarati, na mothe mana nĩmahaanaine. O kũmwe kuonekaga gũthondeketwo ta kũgũrũ kwa ngaari, gũtoonyetio gatagatĩ ga kũgũrũ kũrĩa kũngĩ.
The facion of the wheeles and their worke was like vnto a chrysolite: and they foure had one forme, and their facion, and their worke was as one wheele in another wheele.
17 Namo magĩthiĩ maathiiaga na mwena o wothe wa ĩyo ĩna kũrĩa ciũmbe icio cierekeirie ũthiũ; magũrũ macio ma ngaari matiagarũrũkaga rĩrĩa ciũmbe icio igũthiĩ.
Whe they went, they went vpon their foure sides, and they returned not when they went.
18 Mĩbara ya mo yarĩ mĩraihu na igũrũ na yarĩ ya kũmakania, nayo mĩbara ĩyo yothe ĩna yaiyũrĩte maitho mĩena yothe.
They had also rings, and height, and were fearefull to beholde, and their rings were full of eyes, round about them foure.
19 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ciũmbe icio irĩ muoyo ciathiĩ, magũrũ macio maarĩ mwena-inĩ wacio magathiĩ; na rĩrĩa ciũmbe icio irĩ muoyo ciambata na igũrũ ciumĩte thĩ, magũrũ macio o namo makaambata.
And when the beastes went, the wheeles went with them: and when the beasts were lift vp from the earth, the wheeles were lift vp.
20 O kũrĩa guothe Roho aacierekagĩria, nokuo ciathiiaga, namo magũrũ macio magookĩra magatwarana nacio, tondũ roho wa ciũmbe icio irĩ muoyo warĩ thĩinĩ wa magũrũ macio.
Whither the spirit led them, they went, and thither did the spirite of the wheeles leade them, and the wheeles were lifted vp besides them: for the spirit of the beastes was in the wheeles.
21 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ciũmbe icio ciathiĩ, o namo magũrũ ma cio magathiĩ; rĩrĩa ciũmbe icio ciarũgama, o namo makarũgama; na rĩrĩa ciũmbe icio ciambata na igũrũ ciumĩte thĩ, magũrũ macio makambatania nacio, tondũ roho wa ciũmbe icio irĩ muoyo warĩ thĩinĩ wa magũrũ macio.
When the beastes went, they went, and when they stoode, they stoode, and when they were lifted vp from the earth, the wheeles were lifted vp besides them: for the spirite of the beastes was in the wheeles.
22 Igũrũ rĩa mĩtwe ya ciũmbe icio irĩ muoyo nĩ haarĩ kĩndũ kĩaraganu kĩahaanaga ta wariĩ wakengaga ta mbarabu, na warĩ wa kũmakania.
And the similitude of the firmament vpon the heads of the beasts was wonderfull, like vnto chrystall, spred ouer their heads aboue.
23 Rungu rwa wariĩ ũcio, mathagu ma cio maatambũrũkĩtio o rĩmwe rĩerekeire harĩ rĩrĩa rĩngĩ, na o kĩũmbe kĩarĩ na mathagu meerĩ marĩa maakĩhumbĩrĩte mwĩrĩ.
And vnder the firmament were their wings streight, the one toward the other: every one had two, which couered the, and euery one had two, which couered their bodies.
24 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ciũmbe icio ciathiiaga, ngĩigua mũgambo wa mathagu ma cio, taarĩ mũrurumo wa maaĩ magĩtherera, na taarĩ mũgambo wa Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, taarĩ mbugĩrĩrio ya thigari cia ita. Na rĩrĩa ciũmbe icio ciarũgamire, igĩthuna mathagu ma cio.
And when they went foorth, I heard the noyse of their wings, like the noyse of great waters, and as the voyce of the Almightie, euen the voyce of speach, as the noyse of an host: and when they stood, they let downe their wings.
25 Ningĩ ngĩigua mũgambo uumĩte na igũrũ rĩa wariĩ ũcio warĩ igũrũ rĩa mĩtwe yacio hĩndĩ ĩyo ciarũgamĩte ithunĩte mathagu.
And there was a voyce from the firmament, that was ouer their heads, when they stoode, and had let downe their wings.
26 Igũrũ rĩa wariĩ ũcio warĩ igũrũ rĩa mĩtwe yacio nĩ haarĩ kĩndũ kĩahaanaga ta gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene gĩakĩtwo na kahiga ka yakuti ĩrĩa ya bururu, na hau igũrũ rĩa gĩtĩ kĩu kĩa ũnene nĩ haarĩ na kĩndũ kĩonekaga kĩrĩ na mũhianĩre ta wa mũndũ.
And aboue the firmament that was ouer their heads, was the facion of a throne like vnto a saphir stone, and vpon the similitude of the throne was by appearance, as the similitude of a man aboue vpon it.
27 Ndaarora ngĩona kuuma harĩa honekaga taarĩ ho njohero yake gũcooka na igũrũ, oonekaga ahaana ta kĩgera kĩraakana, kana ta kĩgera kĩiyũrĩtwo nĩ mwaki, ningĩ kuuma hau njohero gũcooka na thĩ oonekaga ahaana ta mwaki; naguo ũtheri mũcangararu ũkamũrigiicĩria.
And I sawe as the appearance of amber, and as the similitude of fire round about within it to looke to, euen from his loynes vpwarde: and to looke to, euen from his loynes downewarde, I sawe as a likenesse of fire, and brightnesse round about it.
28 Ũtheri ũcio wamũrigiicĩirie watariĩ ta mũkũnga-mbura ũrĩ itu-inĩ rĩa mbura mũthenya ũrĩa kũroira, ũguo noguo ũtheri ũrĩa mũnene wamũrigiicĩirie watariĩ. Ũtheri ũcio wonekaga ũhaanaine na riiri wa Jehova. Na rĩrĩa ndawonire-rĩ, ngĩĩgũithia, ngĩturumithia ũthiũ thĩ, ngĩigua mũgambo wa mũndũ ũkwaria.
As the likenesse of the bowe, that is in the cloude in the day of raine, so was the appearance of the light round about. This was the appearance of the similitude of the glorie of the Lord: and when I sawe it, I fell vpon my face, and I heard a voyce of one that spake.
