< Ezekyèl 1 >

1 Nan senkyèm jou, katriyèm mwa nan trantyèm lanne an, mwen menm Ezekyèl, mwen t'ap viv ansanm ak moun yo te depòte yo, bò larivyè Keba nan peyi Babilòn. Jou sa a, syèl la louvri devan je m', mwen wè Bondye nan yon vizyon.
And it was - in thirty year in the fourth [month] on [day] five of the month and I [was] in among the exile[s] at [the] river of Kebar they were opened the heavens and I saw visions of God.
2 Wa Jojakin te gen senkan depi yo te depòte l'.
On [day] five of the month it [was] the year fifth of [the] exile of the king Jehoiachin.
3 Antan Ezekyèl, pitit Bouzi, yon prèt Bondye, te la bò larivyè Keba nan peyi Babilòn, li tande Seyè a pale avè l'. Li santi pouvwa Seyè a sou li.
Expressly it came [the] word of Yahweh to Ezekiel [the] son of Buzi the priest in [the] land of [the] Chaldeans at [the] river of Kebar and it was on him there [the] hand of Yahweh.
4 Mwen leve je m' gade, mwen wè yon gwo van tanpèt k'ap vini soti nan nò. Zèklè t'ap fè yanyan nan yon gwo nwaj. Syèl la te klere tout arebò nwaj la. Nan mitan nwaj la menm kote zèklè yo t'ap fèt la, te gen yon limyè ki te klere tankou kristal.
And I saw and there! a wind of storm [was] coming from the north a cloud great and fire flashing and brightness [belonged] to it all around and [was] from [the] middle of it like [the] appearance of shining substance from [the] middle of the fire.
5 Nan mitan van an, mwen wè kat bèt, ou ta di kat moun.
And [was] from [the] middle of it a likeness of four living creatures and this [was] appearance their a likeness of a human [belonged] to them.
6 Yo chak te gen kat figi ak kat zèl.
And four faces [belonged] to one and four wings [belonged] to one of them.
7 Janm yo te byen dwat, men pye yo te tankou zago bèf. Yo te klere tankou kwiv poli.
And feet their [was] a foot straight and [the] sole of feet their [was] like [the] sole of [the] foot of a calf and [they were] gleaming like [the] appearance of bronze burnished.
8 Anba chak zèl te gen yon men moun. Konsa, yo chak te gen kat zèl, kat figi, kat men, yonn nan chak direksyon.
(And [the] hands of *Q(K)*) a human [were] under wings their on [the] four sides their and faces their and wings their [belonged] to [the] four of them.
9 De nan zèl yo te louvri nèt. Bèt yo menm te fè yon kare, pwent zèl yo kontre yonn ak lòt. Lè y'ap mache, yo deplase ansanm nan menm direksyon, san vire kò yo.
[were] touching Each sister its wings their not they turned when moved they each to [the] side of face its they moved.
10 Chak bèt te gen kat figi: yon figi moun sou devan, yon figi lyon sou bò dwat, yon figi bèf sou bò gòch ak yon figi malfini sou dèyè.
And [the] likeness of faces their [was the] face of a human and [the] face of a lion to the right [side] [belonged] to [the] four of them and [the] face of an ox from the left [side] [belonged] to [the] four of them and [the] face of an eagle [belonged] to [the] four of them.
11 Chak bèt te louvri de nan zèl yo, yo leve yo jouk pwent zèl yo kontre ak pwent zèl bèt ki te bò kote yo a. Yo te kouvri kò yo ak de lòt zèl yo.
And faces their and wings their [were] spread out from to above each two [wings] [were] touching each and two [wings] [were] covering bodies their.
12 Chak bèt t'ap gade nan tout kat direksyon yo. Konsa, yo te kapab mache ansanm pou y' ale kote Lespri Bondye a pouse yo ale a, san yo pa t' bezwen vire kò yo.
And each to [the] side of face its they moved to where it was there the spirit [about] to go they moved not they turned when moved they.
13 Nan mitan bèt yo ou ta di yon gwo boukan dife ak gwo flanm tankou flanm bwa chandèl tou limen ki t'ap ale vini. Dife a te klere anpil, te gen zèklè ki t'ap soti ladan l'.
And [the] likeness of the living creatures appearance their [was] like coals of fire burning like [the] appearance of torches it [was] moving about between the living creatures and brightness [belonged] to the fire and from the fire [was] coming out lightning.
14 Bèt yo menm t'ap kouri ale vini byen vit tankou zèklè.
And the living creatures they were running and they were returning like [the] appearance of lightning.
15 Mwen t'ap gade bèt yo, mwen wè kat wou k'ap woule atè, yonn bò yo chak.
And I saw the living creatures and there! a wheel one [was] on the ground beside the living creatures for [the] four faces its.
16 Tout wou yo te parèy, yo te klere tankou wòch krizolit. Ou ta di yo chak gen yon lòt wou menm gwosè pase an travè ladan yo,
[the] appearance of The wheels and construction their [was] like [the] appearance of chrysolite and a likeness one [belonged] to [the] four of them and appearance their and construction their [was] just as it was the wheel in [the] middle of the wheel.
17 paske wou yo te ka woule nan direksyon kat pwen konpa yo san yo pa t' bezwen vire.
On [the] four sides their when moved they they moved not they turned when moved they.
18 Jant wou yo te byen gwo. Yo te kouvri ak je sou tout kò yo.
And rims their and height [belonged] to them and fear [belonged] to them and rims their [were] full of eyes all around to [the] four of them.
19 Chak fwa bèt yo deplase, wou yo deplase tou ansanm ak yo. Si yo leve anlè, wou yo leve anlè tou.
And when moved the living creatures they moved the wheels beside them and when were lifted up the living creatures from on the ground they were lifted up the wheels.
20 Bèt yo ale kote pou yo ale a. Wou yo fè tou sa bèt yo fè, paske se bèt yo ki t'ap kontwole wou yo.
To where it was there the spirit [about] to go they moved there towards the spirit to go and the wheels they were lifted up close by them for [the] spirit of the living creature [was] in the wheels.
21 Bèt yo vanse, wou yo vanse tou. Bèt yo rete, wou yo rete tou. Bèt yo leve anlè, wou yo leve anlè tou, paske se bèt yo ki t'ap kontwole wou yo.
When moved they they moved and when stood still they they stood still and when were lifted up they from on the ground they were lifted up the wheels close by them for [the] spirit of the living creature [was] in the wheels.
22 Anwo tèt bèt yo, te gen yon bagay won an fòm yon gwo bòl bouch anba, ki te klere tankou kristal.
And a likeness [was] above [the] heads of the living creature an expanse like [the] appearance of frost awesome spread out above heads their from to above.
23 Se anba gwo bòl la bèt yo te kanpe ak de zèl louvri ak pwent yo kontre ak pwent zèl bèt ki bò kote yo a. De lòt zèl yo te fèmen kouvri kò yo.
And under the expanse wings their [were] straight each to sister its [belonged] to each two [wings] covering them [belonged] to each two [wings] covering them bodies their.
24 Lè bèt yo t'ap vole, mwen tande zèl yo t'ap fè yon bri. Ou ta di bri lanmè a lè li move, osinon bri vwa Seyè a lè l'ap pale, oswa bri yon gwo lame. Lè yo sispann vole, yo kite zèl yo pandye.
And I heard [the] sound of wings their like [the] sound of waters many like [the] sound of [the] Almighty when moved they [the] sound of a rainstorm like [the] sound of an army when stood still they they let drop wings their.
25 Men ou te ka tande yon ti bri ki t'ap fèt anwo bòl kristal ki te anlè tèt yo a.
And it came a sound above the expanse which [was] above head their when stood still they they let drop wings their.
26 Anwo bòl kristal ki te anlè tèt yo a, te gen yon bagay, ou ta di yon gwo fotèy fèt an wòch safi. Sou fotèy la, yon fòm te chita ou ta di yon moun.
And [was] from above the expanse which [was] above head their like [the] appearance of a stone of sapphire [the] likeness of a throne and [was] on [the] likeness of the throne a likeness like [the] appearance of a human on it from to above.
27 Depi nan ren l' moute, li te klere nan je m' tankou kwiv yo poli. Depi nan ren l' desann, ou ta di li te nan mitan yon gwo dife ki te klere tout kote l' te ye a.
And I saw - like [the] appearance of a shining substance like [the] appearance of fire within to it [was] all around from [the] appearance of hips his and upwards and from [the] appearance of hips his and downwards I saw like [the] appearance of fire and brightness of him [was] all around.
28 Li te nan mitan yon limyè tout koulè tankou lakansyèl yon jou lapli. Gwo bèl limyè sa a te fè m' konprann se Seyè a ki te parèt devan m'. Lè mwen wè sa, mwen tonbe sou de jenou m', tèt mwen bese jouk atè. Lèfini mwen tande yon vwa moun k'ap pale.
Like [the] appearance of rainbow which it is in the cloud[s] on [the] day of rain so [the] appearance of the brightness all around that [was] [the] appearance of [the] likeness of [the] glory of Yahweh and I saw [it] and I fell on face my and I heard a voice speaking.
