< 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, on the fifth day of the fourth month, while I was among the exiles by the River Kebar, 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 the 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 the LORD came directly to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the River Kebar. And there the LORD’s hand was upon him.
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,
I looked and saw a whirlwind coming from the north, a great cloud with fire flashing back and forth and brilliant light all around it. In the center of the fire was a gleam like amber,
5 a cikin wutar kuwa akwai abin da ya yi kamar halittu guda huɗu. A bayyane kamanninsu ya yi kamar siffar mutum,
and within it was the form of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: They had a human form,
6 amma kowannensu yana da fuskoki huɗu da fikafikai guda huɗu.
but each had four faces and 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, and the soles of their feet were like the hooves of a calf, gleaming like polished bronze.
8 A ƙarƙashin fikafikansu huɗu suna da hannuwan mutum a kowane gefe. Dukansu huɗu suna da fuskoki da fikafikai,
Under their wings on their four sides they had human hands. All four living creatures had faces and wings,
9 kuma fikafikansu suna taɓan juna. Kowanne ya miƙe gaba; ba sa juyawa sa’ad da suke tafiya.
and their wings were touching one another. They did not turn as they moved; each one went straight ahead.
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 form of their faces was that of a man, and each of the four had the face of a lion on the right side, the face of an ox on the left side, and 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.
Such were their faces. Their wings were spread upward; each had two wings touching the wings of the creature on either side, and two wings covering its body.
12 Kowanne ya miƙe gaba sosai. Duk inda ruhu zai tafi, can za su, ba tare da juyawa ba yayinda suke tafiya.
Each creature went straight ahead. Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, without turning as they moved.
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.
In the midst of the living creatures was the appearance of glowing coals of fire, or of torches. Fire moved back and forth between the living creatures; it was bright, and lightning flashed out of it.
14 Halittun suna gaggauta kai da kawowa kamar walƙiya.
The creatures were darting back and forth as quickly as flashes of lightning.
15 Yayinda nake kallon rayayyun halittun nan, sai na ga da’ira a ƙasa kusa da kowace halitta da fuskokinsa huɗu.
When I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the ground beside each creature 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.
The workmanship of the wheels looked like the gleam of beryl, and all four had the same likeness. Their workmanship looked like a wheel within 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.
As they moved, they went in any of the four directions, without pivoting as they moved.
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.
Their rims were high and awesome, and all four rims were full of eyes all around.
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.
So as the living creatures moved, the wheels moved beside them, and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose.
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 would go, and the wheels would rise alongside them, because the spirit of the living creatures 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 the creatures moved, the wheels moved; when the creatures stood still, the wheels stood still; and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels rose alongside them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
22 A bisa kawunan rayayyun halittun nan akwai abin da ya yi kamar ƙanƙara, mai bantsoro.
Spread out above the heads of the living creatures was the likeness of an awesome expanse, gleaming like crystal.
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 stretched out toward one another. Each one also had two wings covering its 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.
When the creatures moved, I heard the sound of their wings like the roar of many waters, like the voice of the Almighty, like the tumult of an army. When 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.
And there came a voice from above the expanse over their heads as they stood still with their wings lowered.
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 expanse over their heads was the likeness of a throne with the appearance of sapphire, and on the throne high above was a figure like that 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.
From what seemed to be His waist up, I saw a gleam like amber, with what looked like fire within it all around. And from what seemed to be His waist down, I saw what looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded Him.
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.
The appearance of the brilliant light all around Him was like that of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell facedown and heard a voice speaking.
