Izikiel 1
1 O ruo nʼafọ nke iri atọ, nʼọnwa nke anọ, nʼụbọchị nke ise ya, mgbe mụ onwe m na ndị ahụ e mere ka ha gaa biri na mba ọzọ nọ nʼakụkụ iyi ukwu Keba, na e meghere eluigwe mee ka m hụ ọhụ dị iche iche site nʼaka Chineke.
It came to passe in the thirtieth yere in the fourth moneth, and in the fift day of the moneth (as I was among the captiues by the riuer Chebar) that the heauens were opened and I sawe visions of GOD.
2 Nʼụbọchị nke ise nʼọnwa ahụ, ọ bụ nʼafọ nke ise mgbe a dọkpụụrụ eze Jehoiakin jee mba ọzọ,
In the fift day of the moneth (which was the fift yere of King Ioiachins captiuitie)
3 okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru Izikiel onye nchụaja nwa Buzi ntị, mgbe ọ nọ nʼakụkụ iyi ukwu Keba, nke dị nʼala ndị Kaldịa. Nʼebe ahụ kwa ka aka Onyenwe anyị nọ dịkwasị ya nʼahụ.
The word of the Lord came vnto Ezekiel the Priest, the sonne of Buzi, in the lande of the Caldeans, by the riuer Chebar, where the hande of the Lord was vpon him.
4 Elere m anya hụ oke ifufe nke si nʼugwu na-abịa, ahụkwara m oke igwe ojii na amụma nke na-egbuke egbuke; ìhè nke na-enwu nnọọ vaa gbara ya gburugburu. Etiti ọkụ ahụ nwere ihe dịka ọlaọkụ na-amụke amụke.
And I looked, and beholde, a whirlewinde came out of the North, a great cloude and a fire wrapped about it, and a brightnesse was about it, and in the middes thereof, to wit, in the middes of the fire came out as the likenesse of amber.
5 Ihe e kere eke anọ dị ndụ, nke yiri mmadụ nʼụdịdị ha, nọkwa nʼetiti oke ihe ahụ.
Also out of the middes therof came the likenesse of foure beastes, and this was their forme: they had the appearance of a man.
6 Nke ọbụla nʼime ha nwere ihu anọ, na nku anọ.
And euery one had foure faces, and euery one had foure wings.
7 Ụkwụ ha guzoro kwem; ọbụ ụkwụ ha dịka nke nwa ehi, na-amụkekwa dịka bronz e hichara nke ọma.
And their feete were streight feete, and the sole of their feete was like the sole of a calues foote, and they sparkled like the appearance of bright brasse.
8 Nʼokpuru nku ha, ha nwere aka yiri aka mmadụ nʼakụkụ anọ ha niile. Otu a ka ihu ha na nku anọ dị.
And the handes of a man came out from vnder their wings in the foure parts of them, and they foure had their faces, and their wings.
9 Nku ha na-emetụ na nke ibe ha. Mgbe ha na-efe, ha na-eche ihu ha nʼotu ụzọ, ha adịghị agha anya ha nʼazụ mgbe ha na-aga.
They where ioyned by their wings one to another, and when they went forth, they returned not, but euery one went streight forward.
10 Maka oyiyi ihu ha: Ha anọ nwere ihu mmadụ, nʼakụkụ aka nri ha nwere ihu ọdụm, nʼakụkụ aka ekpe ha bụ ihu ehi, onye ọbụla nwekwara ihu ugo.
And the similitude of their faces was as the face of a man: and they foure had the face of a lyon on the right side, and they foure had the face of a bullocke on the left side: they foure also had the face of an eagle.
11 Otu ahụ ka ihu ha niile dị. Ha gbasara nku ha nʼelu, nke ọbụla nwere nku abụọ, otu nʼime nku ndị a na-emetụ nku nke ibe ya, ebe abụọ kpuchiri ahụ ha.
Thus were their faces: but their wings were spred out aboue: two wings of euery one were ioined one to another, and two couered their bodies.
12 Ha niile gawara nʼihu. Ebe ọbụla mmụọ ahụ gara ka ha na-aga, na-eleghị anya nʼazụ.
And euery one went streight forward: they went whither their spirit led them, and they returned not when they went forth.
13 Nʼetiti ihe ndị a dị ndụ, e nwere ihe dịka icheku ọkụ na-enwu enwu, dịkwa ka ọwa na-enwu ọkụ. Ọkụ na-esi nʼetiti ihe ndị ahụ dị ndụ na-aga ihu na azụ, ọkụ ahụ nwupụrụ enwupụ, amụma eluigwe sikwa na ya egbupụta.
The similitude also of the beasts, and their appearance was like burning coles of fire, and like the appearance of lampes: for the fire ran among the beastes, and the fire gaue a glister, and out of the fire there went lightning.
14 Ihe ndị ahụ dị ndụ na-efegharị nʼebe a, na-efegharịkwa nʼebe nke ọzọ, dịka mgbe amụma na-egbu.
And the beastes ranne, and returned like vnto lightning.
15 Mgbe m na-ele ihe e kere eke dị ndụ ndị a anya, ahụrụ m ụkwụ ụgbọ agha anọ nke dị nʼala nʼokpuru ha. Onye ọbụla nwere nke ya.
Nowe as I behelde the beastes, beholde, a wheele appeared vpon the earth by the beastes, hauing foure faces.
16 Ụkwụ ụgbọala ahụ niile dị ka ihe e ji nkume na-egbu maramara a na-akpọ beril kpụọ. Nke ọbụla nʼime ha anọ yikwara ibe ya. Ha niile dịkwa ka wịịlu a kpụrụ tinye nʼetiti ụkwụ ụgbọala buru ibu.
The facion of the wheeles and their worke was like vnto a chrysolite: and they foure had one forme, and their facion, and their worke was as one wheele in another wheele.
17 Mgbe ha pụrụ, ha na-aga nʼakụkụ anọ nke ha chere ihu ha, ma ụkwụ ụgbọ agha ahụ adịghị echigharị echigharị mgbe ha na-aga.
Whe they went, they went vpon their foure sides, and they returned not when they went.
18 Azụ ụkwụ ụgbọ agha ha dị elu, dịkwa egwu. Anya jupụtakwara nʼazụ ụkwụ ụgbọ agha ndị ahụ.
They had also rings, and height, and were fearefull to beholde, and their rings were full of eyes, round about them foure.
19 Mgbe ihe ndị a dị ndụ fepụrụ gaa nʼihu, ụkwụ ụgbọala ndị ahụ dị nʼakụkụ ha na-eso ha. Mgbe ha feliri elu, ụkwụ ndị ahụ na-esokwa.
And when the beastes went, the wheeles went with them: and when the beasts were lift vp from the earth, the wheeles were lift vp.
20 Ebe ọbụla mmụọ ha jere, ebe ahụ ka ha na-aga, ụkwụ ụgbọ agha ahụ na-esokwa ha, nʼihi na mmụọ nke anụ ndị ahụ dị ndụ dị nʼụkwụ ụgbọ agha ndị ahụ.
Whither the spirit led them, they went, and thither did the spirite of the wheeles leade them, and the wheeles were lifted vp besides them: for the spirit of the beastes was in the wheeles.
21 Mgbe ha biliri, ndị ọzọ na-ebilikwa. Mgbe ha guzoro otu ebe, ndị ọzọ na-eguzokwa. Mgbe ha feliri elu, ụkwụ ụgbọala ahụ na-eso ha. Nʼihi na mmụọ anụ ndị ahụ dị ndụ dị nʼime ụkwụ ụgbọ agha ndị ahụ.
When the beastes went, they went, and when they stoode, they stoode, and when they were lifted vp from the earth, the wheeles were lifted vp besides them: for the spirite of the beastes was in the wheeles.
22 A tụsara ihe sara mbara dịka mbara eluigwe nʼelu isi ihe ndị ahụ dị ndụ. Ọ na-eyi egwu, ma na-egbukwa nweghenweghe dịka kristal.
And the similitude of the firmament vpon the heads of the beasts was wonderfull, like vnto chrystall, spred ouer their heads aboue.
23 Nʼokpuru ihe ahụ ka ha gbasapụrụ nku ha, ka ọ na-emetụ nke ibe ya. Ha niile nʼotu nʼotu nwere nku abụọ nke na-ekpuchi ahụ ya.
And vnder the firmament were their wings streight, the one toward the other: every one had two, which couered the, and euery one had two, which couered their bodies.
24 Mgbe ha na-aga, nku ha na-eme mkpọtụ dị ka mkpọtụ ebili mmiri na-amagharị amagharị. Mkpọtụ ahụ dịkwa ka ịda ụda nke olu Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, ka olu iti mkpu nke usuu ndị agha. Mgbe ọbụla ha guzoro, ha na-achịtu nku ha.
And when they went foorth, I heard the noyse of their wings, like the noyse of great waters, and as the voyce of the Almightie, euen the voyce of speach, as the noyse of an host: and when they stood, they let downe their wings.
25 Mgbe ahụ ha kwụsịrị mechie nku ha olu sitere nʼime ihe ahụ dịka mbara eluigwe nke dị nʼelu isi ha na-abịa.
And there was a voyce from the firmament, that was ouer their heads, when they stoode, and had let downe their wings.
26 Nʼelu mbara eluigwe ahụ, o nwere ihe dịka ocheeze e ji nkume dị oke ọnụahịa a na-akpọ safaia wuo. Otu onye, nke ụdịdị ya dị ka nwoke, nọkwasịkwara nʼelu oche ahụ.
And aboue the firmament that was ouer their heads, was the facion of a throne like vnto a saphir stone, and vpon the similitude of the throne was by appearance, as the similitude of a man aboue vpon it.
27 Site nʼụkwụ ya ruo nʼisi ya, ahụ onye ahụ na-egbu maramara dịka ọkụ. Site nʼụkwụ ya ruo nʼukwu ya, ọ dị ka ọkụ na-enwu enwu, ìhè nke na-enwukwa ka ọkụ gbara ya gburugburu.
And I sawe as the appearance of amber, and as the similitude of fire round about within it to looke to, euen from his loynes vpwarde: and to looke to, euen from his loynes downewarde, I sawe as a likenesse of fire, and brightnesse round about it.
28 Ìhè ahụ gbara ya gburugburu, nke a na-ahụ anya, dịkwa ka ìhè eke na egwurugwu, nke a na-ahụ anya nʼoge mmiri na-ezo. Otu a ka ebube Onyenwe anyị si gosi m onwe ya. Mgbe m hụrụ ya, adara m nʼala kpuo ihu m nʼala. Mgbe ahụ, anụrụ m olu onye na-ekwu okwu.
As the likenesse of the bowe, that is in the cloude in the day of raine, so was the appearance of the light round about. This was the appearance of the similitude of the glorie of the Lord: and when I sawe it, I fell vpon my face, and I heard a voyce of one that spake.
