< 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.
In the thirtieth year, the fourth month, and the fifth day of the month, it came about that I was living among the captives by the Kebar Canal. The heavens 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 day of that month—it was the fifth year of the exile 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.
the word of Yahweh came to Ezekiel son of Buzi the priest, in the land of the Chaldeans by the Kebar Canal, and the hand of Yahweh was upon 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,
Then I looked, and there was a windstorm coming from the north; a great cloud with fire flashing within it and brightness surrounding it and inside of it, and the fire was the color of amber inside the cloud.
5 a cikin wutar kuwa akwai abin da ya yi kamar halittu guda huɗu. A bayyane kamanninsu ya yi kamar siffar mutum,
In the middle was the likeness of four living creatures. This was their appearance: They had the likeness of a man,
6 amma kowannensu yana da fuskoki huɗu da fikafikai guda huɗu.
but they had four faces each, and each of the creatures had four wings.
7 Ƙafafunsu miƙaƙƙu ne; kuma ƙafafunsu sun yi kamar na maraƙi suna kuma walƙiya kamar tagullar da aka goge.
Their legs were straight, but the soles of their feet were like the hooves of a calf that shone like polished bronze.
8 A ƙarƙashin fikafikansu huɗu suna da hannuwan mutum a kowane gefe. Dukansu huɗu suna da fuskoki da fikafikai,
Yet they had human hands under their wings on all four sides. For all four, their faces and wings were like this:
9 kuma fikafikansu suna taɓan juna. Kowanne ya miƙe gaba; ba sa juyawa sa’ad da suke tafiya.
their wings were touching the wings of the next creature, and they did not turn as they went; instead, each one went straight forward.
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.
The likeness of their faces was like the face of a man. The four of them had the face of a lion to the right side, and the four of them had the face of an ox on the left side. They four had also the face of an eagle.
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.
Their faces were like that, and their wings were spread out above, so that each creature had a pair of wings that touched another creature's wing, and also a pair of wings that 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.
Each went straight forward, so that wherever the Spirit directed them to go, they went without turning.
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 creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches; bright fire also moved about among the creatures, and there were flashes of lightning.
14 Halittun suna gaggauta kai da kawowa kamar walƙiya.
The living creatures were moving swiftly back and forth, and they had the appearance of lightning!
15 Yayinda nake kallon rayayyun halittun nan, sai na ga da’ira a ƙasa kusa da kowace halitta da fuskokinsa huɗu.
Then I looked at the living creatures; and I saw one wheel on the ground beside each of living creatures with its 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.
This was the appearance and structure of the wheels: Each wheel was like beryl, and the four had the same likeness; their appearance and structure was like a wheel intersecting another 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.
As they moved, they went in any of their four directions, without turning as 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 rims, they were high and fearsome, for the rims were full of eyes round about.
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.
Whenever the living creatures moved, the wheels moved beside them. When the living creatures rose up from the earth, the wheels also rose 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.
Wherever the Spirit would go, they went, and the wheels rose up beside them, for the spirit of the living creature 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.
Whenever the creatures moved, the wheels also moved; and when the creatures stood still, the wheels stood still; when the creatures rose up from the earth, the wheels rose up beside them, because the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
22 A bisa kawunan rayayyun halittun nan akwai abin da ya yi kamar ƙanƙara, mai bantsoro.
Over the heads of the living creatures was the likeness of an expansive dome; it looked like awe-inspiring crystal stretched out 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.
Beneath the dome, each one of the creature's wings stretched out straight and touched another creature's wings. Each of the living creatures also had a pair to cover themselves; each had a pair to cover his own body.
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.
Then I heard the sound of their wings. Like the noise of many waters. Like the voice of the Almighty whenever they moved. Like the sound of a rainstorm. Like the sound of an army. Whenever they stood still, they lowered their wings.
25 Sai aka ji murya daga al’arshi a kan kawunansu yayinda suke tsaye da fikafikansu a sauke.
A voice came from above the dome over their heads whenever they stood still and lowered 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.
Above the dome over their heads was the likeness of a throne that was like the appearance of a sapphire stone, and on the likeness of the throne was a likeness like the appearance of a man.
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.
I saw a figure with the appearance of glowing metal with fire in it from the appearance of his hips up; I saw from the appearance of his hips downward the appearance of fire and brightness all around.
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.
Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day was the appearance of the bright light surrounding it. It was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Yahweh. When I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice speaking.
