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.
And it comes to pass, in the thirtieth year, in the fourth [month], on the fifth of the month, and I [am] in the midst of the expulsion by the river Chebar, the heavens have been opened, and I see visions of God.
2 Mũthenya wa gatano wa mweri ũcio, naguo nĩguo mwaka wa ĩtano kuuma Mũthamaki Jehoiakini athaamio,
In the fifth of the month—it is the fifth year of the expulsion of King Jehoiachin—
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 YHWH has certainly been to 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 YHWH.
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 look, and behold, a turbulent wind is coming from the north, a great cloud, and fire catching itself, and brightness to it all around, and out of its midst as the color of electrum, out of the midst of the fire.
5 na thĩinĩ wa mwaki ũcio nĩ haarĩ kĩndũ kĩahaanaga ciũmbe inya irĩ muoyo, nacio cionekaga irĩ na mũhianĩre wa mũndũ,
And out of its midst [is] a likeness of four living creatures, and this [is] their appearance; a likeness of man [is] to them,
6 na o kĩmwe gĩacio kĩarĩ na mothiũ mana na mathagu mana.
and each had four faces and each of them had four wings,
7 Magũrũ ma cio maarĩ marũngarũ; namo makinya ma cio maatariĩ ta ma gacaũ, na maakengaga ta gĩcango gĩkumuthe.
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 color of bright bronze;
8 Rungu rwa mathagu ma cio, mĩena ĩna yacio, ciarĩ na moko ma mũndũ. Ciothe inya ciarĩ na mothiũ na mathagu,
and on their four sides [each had] hands of man under their wings; and [each] of the four had their faces and their wings;
9 namo mathagu ma cio, nĩmahutanĩtie. O kĩmwe gĩa cio gĩathiiaga kĩerekeire o mbere; itiehũgũraga igĩthiĩ.
their wings [are] joining to one another, they do not turn around in their going, they each go straight 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.
As for the likeness of their faces, [each had] the face of a man, and toward the right the four had the face of a lion, and on the left the four had the face of an ox, and the four 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.
And their faces and their wings dividing from above, of each [are] two joining together, and two are covering their bodies.
12 O kĩmwe gĩa cio gĩathiiaga kĩrũngĩrĩirie o mbere. O kũrĩa guothe Roho aacierekagĩria, no kuo ciathiiaga itekwĩhũgũra.
And they each go straight forward, to where the Spirit is to go, they go, they do not turn around in their going.
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.
As for 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 lightning is going forth out of the fire.
14 Ciũmbe icio ciaguthũkaga na thuutha na ikaguthũka na mbere ta ũrĩa rũheni rũhenũkaga.
And the living creatures are running, and turning back, as the appearance of the flash.
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.
And I see the living creatures, and behold, one wheel [is] in the earth, near the living creatures, at its four 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 appearance of the wheels and their works [is] as the color of beryl, and the four of them had one likeness, and their appearances and their works [are] as it were the wheel in the midst of the wheel.
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.
On their four sides, in their going they go, they do not turn around in their going.
18 Mĩbara ya mo yarĩ mĩraihu na igũrũ na yarĩ ya kũmakania, nayo mĩbara ĩyo yothe ĩna yaiyũrĩte maitho mĩena yothe.
As for their rings, they are both high and fearful, and their rings, of the four of them, [are] full of eyes around them.
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 in the going of the living creatures, the wheels go beside them, and in the living creatures being lifted up from off the earth, the wheels are lifted up.
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.
To where the Spirit is to go, they go, there the Spirit [is] to go, and the wheels are lifted up alongside them, for a living spirit [is] in the wheels.
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.
In their going, they go; and in their standing, they stand; and in their being lifted up from off the earth, the wheels are lifted up alongside them; for a living spirit [is] in the wheels.
22 Igũrũ rĩa mĩtwe ya ciũmbe icio irĩ muoyo nĩ haarĩ kĩndũ kĩaraganu kĩahaanaga ta wariĩ wakengaga ta mbarabu, na warĩ wa kũmakania.
And over the heads of the living creatures—a likeness of an expanse, as the color of the fearful ice, stretched out over their heads from above.
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 under the expanse their wings [are] straight, one toward [its] sister; two [wings] of each are covering them, and two [wings] of each are covering 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 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 their wings fall.
25 Ningĩ ngĩigua mũgambo uumĩte na igũrũ rĩa wariĩ ũcio warĩ igũrũ rĩa mĩtwe yacio hĩndĩ ĩyo ciarũgamĩte ithunĩte mathagu.
And there is a voice from above the expanse, that [is] above their head: in their standing they let their wings fall.
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 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 on it from above.
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 see as the color of electrum, as the appearance of fire all around within it, 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] all around Him.
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 appearance of the bow that is in a cloud in a day of rain, so [is] the appearance of the brightness all around.
