Ezekyèl 1
1 Alò, li te vin rive nan trèzyèm ane, sou senkyèm jou a Katriyèm mwa a, pandan mwen te akote rivyè Kebar a, pami egzile yo, ke syèl yo te louvri, e mwen te wè vizyon a Bondye.
Now it happened in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth of the month, as I was among the captives by the river Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
2 (Sou senkyèm jou nan mwa a, nan senkyèm ane egzil a Wa Jojakin nan,
In the fifth of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity,
3 Pawòl SENYÈ a te rive eksprè a Ézéchiel, prèt la, fis a Buzi, nan peyi Kaldeyen yo akote rivyè Kebar a; epi la, men SENYÈ a te vini sou li.)
the word of YHWH came to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of YHWH came upon him.
4 Pandan mwen t ap gade, men gade byen, yon van tanpèt te vini soti nan nò, yon gwo nwaj ak loraj ki t ap tire san rete; yon limyè byen klere te antoure l e nan mitan l, yon bagay tankou metal ki klere nan mitan dife a.
I looked, and look, a stormy wind came out of the north, a great cloud, with flashing lightning, and a brightness around it, and out of its midst as it were glowing metal, out of the midst of the fire.
5 Anndan li, te gen fòm ki te sanble kat kreyati vivan. Men ki jan yo te parèt: yo te gen yon fòm tankou moun.
Out of its midst came the likeness of four living creatures. This was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man.
6 Yo chak te gen kat figi ak kat zèl.
And each one had four faces, and each one of them had four wings.
7 Janm yo te dwat, pye yo te tankou zago jenn bèf, e yo te klere tankou bwonz poli.
Their legs were straight, and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot; and they sparkled like burnished bronze.
8 Anba zèl yo, nan kat kote yo, te gen men a moun. Yo kat te gen figi ak zèl yo konsa:
They had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and the four of them had their faces and their wings thus:
9 Zèl pa yo te jwente youn lòt. Yo pa t vire lè yo te deplase. Yo chak te ale tou dwat devan.
their wings were joined one to another; they didn't turn when they went; each one went straight forward.
10 Pou fòm a figi yo a, yo chak te gen figi tankou a yon moun. Toule kat te gen figi a yon lyon adwat, figi a yon towo agoch, e toule kat te gen figi a yon èg.
As for the likeness of their faces, they had the face of a man; and the four of them had the face of a lion on the right side; and the four of them had the face of an ox on the left side; the four of them also had the face of an eagle.
11 Se konsa figi yo te ye. Zèl yo te ouvri anlè. Yo chak te gen de ki te touche a yon lòt kreyati e de ki te kouvri kò yo.
Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out above. Two wings of each one touched another, and two covered their bodies.
12 Epi yo chak te ale tou dwat devan. Nenpòt kote lespri a te prèt pou ale, yo ta ale, san menm vire pandan yo t ap prale a.
Each one went straight forward: where the spirit would go, they went; they didn't turn when they went.
13 Nan mitan kreyati vivan yo, te gen yon bagay ki te sanble ak chabon dife, tankou tòch ki t ap file fè ale retou pami kreyati vivan yo. Dife a te klere e loray te vòltije soti nan dife a.
And in the midst of the living creatures was an appearance of burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches. The fire went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.
14 Epi kreyati vivan yo te kouri fè ale retou tankou kout loray.
The living creatures darted back and forth, like the appearance of a flash of lightning.
15 Alò, pandan mwen t ap gade kreyati vivan yo, gade byen, te gen yon wou sou tè a akote kreyati vivan yo, pou chak nan kat fas de yo.
Now as I saw the living creatures, look, there was a wheel on the ground beside each living creature with its four faces.
16 Wou yo te sanble, jan yo te fèt la, tankou yon wòch krizolit briyan. E toule kat te gen menm fòm. Nan aparans la, jan yo fè l la, yo te fèt konsi yon wou te anndan yon lòt wou.
And the appearance of the wheels and their work was like a beryl: and the four of them had the same likeness; and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel within a wheel.
17 Nenpòt lè yo deplase, yo te deplase nan nenpòt nan kat direksyon yo, san menm vire pandan yo t ap deplase a.
When they went, they went in their four directions: they didn't turn when they went.
18 Wotè a wou yo te tèlman wo. Yo te etonan. Arebò toule kat te plen ak zye toutotou l nèt.
As for their rims, they were high and awesome; and the four of them had their rims full of eyes all around.
19 Nenpòt lè kreyati vivan yo te deplase, wou yo te deplase avèk yo. Epi nenpòt lè kreyati vivan yo te leve kite tè a, wou yo te leve tou.
When the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose.
20 Nenpòt kote lespri a te prèt pou ale, yo ta ale nan direksyon sa a. Epi wou yo te leve toupre bò kote yo; paske lespri a kreyati vivan yo te nan wou yo.
They went in whichever direction the spirit would go, and the wheels rose alongside them because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
21 Nenpòt kote sa yo te ale, sila yo te ale tou. Lè sa yo te kanpe an plas, sila yo te kanpe an plas tou. Epi nenpòt lè sa yo te monte kite tè a, wou yo te leve toupre bò kote yo; paske lespri a kreyati vivan yo te nan wou yo.
When those [the living creatures] moved, these [the wheels] moved; and when those [the living creatures] stood still, and when those [the living creatures] rose from the ground, the wheels rose alongside them because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
22 Alò, anwo tèt a kreyati vivan yo, te gen yon bagay tankou yon gwo espas, tankou yon briyans mèvèy kon kristal, ki te ouvri byen laj sou tèt yo.
And over the heads of the living creatures there was the likeness of an expanse, like glittering ice, it was awesome to look upon, stretched out over their heads above.
23 Anba gwo espas la, zèl yo te lonje dwat, youn anvè lòt. Yo chak te gen de zèl ki te kouvri kò l tou, youn yon kote e youn yon lòt kote.
Under the expanse their wings were straight, the one toward the other. And each one had two which covered its body.
24 Anplis, mwen te tande son a zèl yo tankou son anpil gwo dlo pandan yo t ap prale, tankou vwa a Toupwisan an, yon son a gwo boulvèsman, tankou son a yon lame ki nan kan li. Nenpòt lè yo sispann fè mouvman, yo lage desann zèl yo.
When they went, I heard the noise of their wings like the noise of great waters, like the voice of Shaddai, a noise of tumult like the noise of an army: when they stood, they let down their wings.
25 Konsa, te sòti yon vwa depi anwo gran espas lan ki te sou tèt pa yo. Nenpòt lè yo te sispann fè mouvman, yo te lage desann zèl yo.
There was a voice above the expanse that was over their heads.
26 Alò, anwo gwo espas ki te anwo tèt yo a, te gen yon bagay ki te sanble ak yon twòn, tankou yon pyè safì nan aparans. Epi sou sa ki te sanble a yon twòn nan, byen wo, te gen yon fòm ak aparans a yon nonm.
Above the expanse that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone; and on the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man on it above.
27 Sa mwen te wè, te soti nan aparans a ren Li ak piwo, yon bagay tankou metal klere ki te sanble dife toutotou anndan l. Soti nan aparans a ren Li e piba, mwen te wè yon bagay tankou dife, epi te gen yon ekla limyè ki te antoure Li.
I saw as it were glowing metal, as the appearance of fire within it all around, from the appearance of his waist and upward; and from the appearance of his waist and downward I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness around him.
28 Menm jan ak aparans a lakansyèl nan nwaj yo nan jou l ap fè lapli, konsa aparans a ekla limyè ki te antoure li a te ye. Konsa aparans a imaj a glwa a SENYÈ a te ye. Lè m te wè l, mwen te tonbe sou figi mwen, e mwen te tande yon vwa ki t ap pale.
As the appearance of the rainbow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of YHWH. When I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice speaking.
