< Ezekiyel 1 >

1 A shekara ta talatin, a wata na huɗu a rana biyar, yayinda nake cikin’yan zaman bauta kusa da Kogin Kebar, sai sammai suka buɗe na kuwa ga wahayoyin Allah.
And it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month on the fifth day of the month I being in the midst of them of the captivity, by the river Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
2 A rana biyar ga wata, a shekara ta biyar ne ta zaman bautan Sarki Yehohiyacin,
On the fifth of the month, that was the fifth year of the captivity of King Jehoiachin,
3 maganar Ubangiji ta zo wa Ezekiyel firist, ɗan Buzi, kusa da Kogin Kebar a ƙasar Babiloniyawa. A can hannun Ubangiji yana a kansa.
in very deed came the word of Yahweh unto Ezekiel son of Buzi the priest in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar, —yea the hand of Yahweh, came on him there.
4 Na duba, sai na ga guguwa ta taso daga arewa babban hadari cike da walƙiya kewaye da haske mai haske sosai. Tsakiyar wutar ta yi kamar ƙarfe mai cin wuta balbal,
So then I beheld and lo! a tempestuous wind coming out of the North, a great cloud and a fire catching hold of itself, and it had a brightness round about, —and out of the midst thereof, as burnished copper to look upon out of the midst of the fire;
5 a cikin wutar kuwa akwai abin da ya yi kamar halittu guda huɗu. A bayyane kamanninsu ya yi kamar siffar mutum,
and out of the midst thereof, a likeness of four living ones, and this was their appearance, the likeness of a man, had they;
6 amma kowannensu yana da fuskoki huɗu da fikafikai guda huɗu.
and four faces each, and four wings each, had they;
7 Ƙafafunsu miƙaƙƙu ne; kuma ƙafafunsu sun yi kamar na maraƙi suna kuma walƙiya kamar tagullar da aka goge.
and their feet were straight feet, —and the sole of their feet was like the sole of the foot of a calf, but sparkling, as shining bronze to look upon;
8 A ƙarƙashin fikafikansu huɗu suna da hannuwan mutum a kowane gefe. Dukansu huɗu suna da fuskoki da fikafikai,
and the hands of a man! were under their wings, on their four sides, —and their faces and their wings belonged to the four of them:
9 kuma fikafikansu suna taɓan juna. Kowanne ya miƙe gaba; ba sa juyawa sa’ad da suke tafiya.
joined to each other, were their wings, —they turned not when they went, each one straight before him, did they go;
10 Fuskokinsu sun yi kamar haka. Kowanne a cikin huɗun yana da fuskar mutum, kuma a gefen dama kowanne yana da fuskar zaki, a hagu kuma fuskar maraƙi; kowanne yana kuma da fuskar gaggafa.
and the likeness of their faces was the face of a man, with the face of a lion to the right of the four of them, and the face of an ox on the left, of the four of them, —the face of an eagle, also had they four;
11 Haka fuskokinsu suka kasance. Fikafikansu sun buɗu sama; kowanne yana da fikafikai biyu, ɗaya yana taɓa fikafikan ɗayan halittar a ɗayan gefe, fikafikai biyu kuma suna rufe jikinsa.
and their wings were spread above, — two of each joined one another, and two covered their bodies;
12 Kowanne ya miƙe gaba sosai. Duk inda ruhu zai tafi, can za su, ba tare da juyawa ba yayinda suke tafiya.
and each one straight before him, did they go, —whithersoever the spirit was minded to go, they went, they turned not when they went.
13 Kamannin halittun ya yi kamar garwashi mai cin wuta ko kuwa kamar fitilu. Wuta tana kai da kawowa a cikin halittun; ta yi haske ƙwarai, walƙiya kuma tana wulgawa daga cikinta.
As for the likeness of the living ones, their appearance was like live coals of fire burning up like the appearance of torches, the same went to and fro between the living ones, —and the fire had brightness and out of the fire, went forth a lightning.
14 Halittun suna gaggauta kai da kawowa kamar walƙiya.
And the living ones ran and returned, —like the appearance of a flash of lightning.
15 Yayinda nake kallon rayayyun halittun nan, sai na ga da’ira a ƙasa kusa da kowace halitta da fuskokinsa huɗu.
And I looked at the living ones, —and lo! one wheel upon the earth beside the living ones for each of his four faces,
16 Ga kamanni da fasalin da’irorin. Suna ƙyalƙyali kamar kirisolit, kuma dukan huɗun sun yi kama da juna. Kowacce ta yi kamar da’ira a cikin da’ira.
The appearance of the wheels and of their structure was like a Tarshish-stone to look upon, and they four had one likeness, —and their appearance and their structure were just as would be a wheel in the midst of a wheel.
17 Yayinda suke tafiya, sukan nufi duk wani gefe guda cikin gefe huɗun da halittun suka nufa; da’irorin ba za su juya ba sa’ad da halittun suke tafiya.
Upon their four sides, when they went, so did they go, —they turned not when they went.
18 Ƙarafansu da suka yi kamar zobe sun yi tsayi suna kuma da bantsoro, dukan ƙarafan nan huɗu kuwa da suka yi kamar zobe suna cike da idanu a kewaye.
As for their rings, they were so high that they were terrible, -and their rings full of eyes round about, had they four.
19 Sa’ad da rayayyun halittun suke tafiya, da’irorin da suke kusa da su kan motsa; kuma sa’ad da rayayyun halittun sun tashi sama, da’irorin su ma sukan tashi sama.
And when the living ones went, the wheels went beside them, —and when the living ones were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up:
20 Duk inda ruhu za shi, su ma can za su, kuma da’irorin za su tashi tare da su, domin ruhun rayayyun halittun nan yana a cikin da’irorin.
whithersoever the spirit was minded to go, they went—thither was the spirit minded to go, —and the wheels would be lifted up along with them, for the spirit of the living one was in the wheels:
21 Sa’ad da halittun sun motsa, sai su ma su motsa; sa’ad da halittun sun tsaya cik, su ma sai su tsaya cik, sa’ad da kuma halittun sukan tashi sama, da’irorin suka tashi tare da su, domin ruhun rayayyun halittun nan yana a cikin da’irorin.
when they went, these went, and when they stood, these stood, —and when they were lifted up from off the earth, the wheels were lifted up along with them, for the spirit of the living one was in the wheels.
22 A bisa kawunan rayayyun halittun nan akwai abin da ya yi kamar ƙanƙara, mai bantsoro.
And there was a likeness over the heads of the living one—an expanse, like terrible crystal to look upon, -stretched forth over their heads above.
23 A ƙarƙashin al’arshin fikafikansu sun miƙe kyam ɗaura da juna, kuma kowanne yana da fikafikai biyu da suka rufe jikinsa.
And under the expanse, their wings were straight, one towards another, —each one had two covering on this side, and each one had two covering on that side, their bodies.
24 Sa’ad da halittun suke tafiya, sai na ji ƙarar fikafikansu, kamar rurin ruwaye masu gudu, kamar muryar Maɗaukaki, kamar hayaniyar rundunar mayaƙa. In sun tsaya cik, sukan sauko da fikafikansu.
And I heard the sound of their wings, as the sound of many waters, as the sound of the Almighty, when they went, the sound of a storm as the sound of a host, —when they stood, they let down their wings,
25 Sai aka ji murya daga al’arshi a kan kawunansu yayinda suke tsaye da fikafikansu a sauke.
And there was a voice above the expanse that was over their head, —when they stood, they let down their wings.
26 A bisa al’arshin a kan kawunansu akwai abin da ya yi kamar saffaya, kuma a can bisa a kan kursiyin akwai siffa kamar na mutum.
And above the expanse that was over their heads, as the appearance of a sapphire stone, was the likeness of a throne, —and upon the likeness of a throne, was a likeness as the appearance of a man upon it above.
27 Na ga daga abin da ya yi kamar kwankwasonsa zuwa bisa ya yi kamar ƙarfe mai walƙiya, sai ka ce wuta, kuma daga kwankwasonsa zuwa ƙasa ya yi kamar wuta; haske kuma mai walƙiya sosai kewaye da shi.
And I saw as burnished copper to look upon, as the appearance of fire within it round about, from the appearance of his loins and upwards and from the appearance of his loins and downwards, saw I as the appearance of fire, and he had brightness round about:
28 Kamar kamannin bakan gizo a cikin gizagizai a ranar da aka yi ruwan sama, haka hasken da ya kewaye shi. Wannan shi ne kwatancin kamannin ɗaukakar Ubangiji. Sa’ad da na gani, sai na fāɗi rubda ciki, na kuma ji muryar wani tana magana.
as the appearance of the bow which is in a cloud on a day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about, that was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Yahweh, and when I saw, I fell upon my face, and heard a voice of one speaking.
