< 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, as I was in the midst of the exiles by the river Kebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw divine visions.
2 A rana biyar ga wata, a shekara ta biyar ne ta zaman bautan Sarki Yehohiyacin,
On the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of the exile of king Jehoyachin,
3 maganar Ubangiji ta zo wa Ezekiyel firist, ɗan Buzi, kusa da Kogin Kebar a ƙasar Babiloniyawa. A can hannun Ubangiji yana a kansa.
Came the word of the Lord expressly unto Ezekiel the son of Buzi, the priest, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Kebar; and there came upon him there the inspiration of the Lord.
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,
And I saw, and behold, a storm-wind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a flaming fire, and a brightness was on it round about; and out of the midst of it was like the glitter of amber, 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 [I saw] the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: They had the likeness of a man.
6 amma kowannensu yana da fuskoki huɗu da fikafikai guda huɗu.
And every one had four faces, and every one of them had four wings.
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 a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the glitter of burnished copper.
8 A ƙarƙashin fikafikansu huɗu suna da hannuwan mutum a kowane gefe. Dukansu huɗu suna da fuskoki da fikafikai,
And hands of man [were visible] from beneath their wings on their four sides: and their faces and their wings [were alike] on all these four.
9 kuma fikafikansu suna taɓan juna. Kowanne ya miƙe gaba; ba sa juyawa sa’ad da suke tafiya.
Their wings were joined one to the other: they turned not about in their going; they went every one in the direction of one of their faces.
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; and the face of a lion, on the right side for all four of them; and the face of an ox on the left side for all four of them; and the face of an eagle for all four of them.
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.
Thus were their faces: and their wings were spread out upward; every one had two joined one to 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 they went every one in the direction of one of his faces: whither the spirit was directed to go, they went; they turned not about in their going.
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 coals of fire, burning as with the appearance of torches; this [fire] it was which passed along between the living creatures: and a brightness was about the fire, and out of the fire went forth lightning.
14 Halittun suna gaggauta kai da kawowa kamar walƙiya.
And the living creatures ran backward and forward 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 on the living creatures, and, behold, there was one wheel upon the earth close by the living creatures, by their four front 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 their work was like the color of a chrysolite; and all four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as though it were a wheel in the middle 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.
Toward their four sides they went in their going: they turned not round in their going.
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 circumferences, they were so high that they excited fear: and their felloes were full of eyes round about on all these 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 creatures went, the wheels went near to them: and when the living creatures lifted themselves up from the earth, the wheels lifted themselves 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 to go, they went; [for] thither was [their] spirit to go: and the wheels lifted themselves up at the same time with them; for 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 those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those lifted themselves up from the earth, the wheels lifted themselves up at the same time with them; for 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.
And the likeness of a vault was over the head of the living creatures, [shining] like the glitter of the purest crystal, 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 vault their wings were straight, the one toward the other: every one had two, which covered them, and every one had two, which covered them, —[namely, ] 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, like the sound of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, when they went, the sound of [their] speech, as the noise of an army: when they stood still, 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 from the vault that was over their head: when they stood still, 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 vault that was over their head was like the appearance of a sapphire-stone, the likeness of a throne: and upon the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it.
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 if it were the glitter of amber, as the appearance of fire within it round about, from the appearance of his loins upward; and from the appearance of his loins downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it 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.
Like the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud on the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about: this was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard the voice of one that spoke.
