< Ezekiel 1 >
1 Iti maikalima nga aldaw, ti maikapat a bulan, iti maikatallopulo a tawen, addaak idi iti igid ti Karayan Kebar a makipagnanaed kadagiti naitalaw kas balud. Naglukat ti langit, ket nakakitaak iti sirmata manipud iti Dios!
Now in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river Chebar, the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
2 Iti maikalima nga aldaw iti dayta a bulan—isu ti maikalima a tawen a pannakaitalaw ni ari Jehoyakin a kas balud,
In the fifth of the month, which was the fifth year of King Jehoiachin’s captivity,
3 dimteng ti sao ni Yahweh nga addaan pannakabalin kenni Ezekiel a padi, a putot a lalaki ni Busi, iti daga dagiti Caldeo iti igid ti Karayan Kebar; immay kenkuana sadiay ti pannakabalin ni Yahweh.
the LORD’s word came to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the LORD’s hand was there on him.
4 Kalpasanna, kimmitaak ket adda alipugpog a naggapu iti amianan—maysa a napuskol nga ulep nga adda aggilgilap nga apuy iti tengnga daytoy ket kinaraniag ti mangliklikmut iti daytoy kasta met ti tengnga daytoy, ket ti apuy iti tengnga ti ulep ket kasla maris ti bronse.
I looked, and behold, a stormy wind came out of the north: a great cloud, with flashing lightning, and a brightness around it, and out of the middle of it as it were glowing metal, out of the middle of the fire.
5 Iti tengnga ti alipugpog ket adda kaas-asping iti uppat a sibibiag a parsua. Kastoy ti langada: kasla tao ti langada,
Out of its center came the likeness of four living creatures. This was their appearance: They had the likeness of a man.
6 ngem tunggal maysa kadakuada ket addaan iti uppat a rupa, ken tunggal maysa kadagiti parsua ket addaan iti uppat a payak.
Everyone had four faces, and each one of them had four wings.
7 Nalinteg dagiti sakada, ngem dagiti dapanda ket kasla kuko ti baka a sumilapsilap a kas iti napasileng a bronse.
Their feet were straight feet. The sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf’s foot; and they sparkled like burnished bronze.
8 Ket addaanda pay iti kasla ima ti tao iti sirok dagiti payakda nga adda kadagiti uppat a sikiganda. Kadagitoy nga uppat, kastoy ti langa dagiti rupa ken payakda:
They had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides. The four of them had their faces and their wings like this:
9 agsisinnagid ti murdong dagiti payakda, ket saanda nga agpusipos no kasta nga aggunayda; ngem ketdi, mapanda lattan iti kayatda a pagturongan.
Their wings were joined to one another. They did not turn when they went. Each one went straight forward.
10 Ti langa dagiti rupada ket kasla rupa ti tao, sumaruno iti makannawan ket rupa ti leon, sumaruno iti makannigid ket rupa ti baka, ken ti naudi ket rupa ti agila.
As for the likeness of their faces, they had the face of a man. The four of them had the face of a lion on the right side. The four of them had the face of an ox on the left side. The four of them also had the face of an eagle.
11 Kasta ti langa dagiti rupada, ken naiyukrad dagiti payakda iti ngato isu a tunggal agparis a payak dagiti parsua ket simmagid iti payak ti maysa pay a parsua, ken adda pay agparis a payak a nangakkob kadagiti bagida.
Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out above. Two wings of each one touched another, and two covered their bodies.
12 Agpapada ti turturongen dagiti uppat a parsua, isu a sadinoman ti pangiturongan ti Espiritu kadakuada, mapanda a saan a masapul nga agpusiposda.
Each one went straight forward. Where the spirit was to go, they went. They did not turn when they went.
13 Kasla sumsumged a beggang wenno aluten dagiti sibibiag a parsua; adda pay gumilgil-ayab nga apuy nga agalis-alis kadagiti parsua, ken agkanabsiit ti kimat.
As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches. The fire went up and down among the living creatures. The fire was bright, and lightning went out of the fire.
14 Nakaparpardas ti panagsubli-subli dagiti sibibiag a parsua a kaslada la kimat!
The living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.
15 Ket minatmatak dagiti sibibiag a parsua; adda maysa a pilid iti daga iti sikigan ti tunggal sibibiag a parsua.
Now as I saw the living creatures, behold, there was one wheel on the earth beside the living creatures, for each of the four faces of it.
16 Kastoy ti langa ken pannakaaramid dagiti pilid: tunggal pilid ket kasla napateg a bato, ken agpapada dagitoy nga uppat; kasla agkikinnamang dagiti pilid.
The appearance of the wheels and their work was like a beryl. The four of them had one likeness. Their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel within a wheel.
17 No kasta nga umakar dagiti pilid, agturong dagitoy iti aniaman a direksion a saanda nga agpusipos.
When they went, they went in their four directions. They did not turn when they went.
18 Maipapan kadagiti rueda, nangangato ken nakabutbuteng dagitoy, ta pasig a mata ti naipalawlaw kadagiti rueda!
As for their rims, they were high and dreadful; and the four of them had their rims full of eyes all around.
19 No kasta nga umakar dagiti sibibiag a parsua, umakar met dagiti pilid nga adda iti sikiganda. No agpangato dagiti sibibiag a parsua manipud iti daga, agpangato met dagiti pilid.
When the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them. When the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.
20 Sadinoman a pagturongan ti Espiritu, idiay met ti turongen dagiti sibibiag a parsua; agpangato dagiti pilid nga adda iti sikigan ti tunggal parsua, ta ti espiritu dagiti sibibiag a parsua ket adda kadagiti pilid.
Wherever the spirit was to go, they went. The spirit was to go there. The wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
21 No kasta nga umakar dagiti parsua, umakar met dagiti pilid; ket no agsardeng dagiti parsua, agsardeng met dagiti pilid; no agpangato dagiti parsua manipud iti daga, agpangato met dagiti pilid nga adda kadagiti sikiganda, agsipud ta ti espiritu dagiti sibibiag a parsua ket adda kadagiti pilid.
When those went, these went. When those stood, these stood. When those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
22 Iti ngatoen ti ulo dagiti sibibiag a parsua ket adda nalawa a kasla atep; kasla rumimatrimat a kristal daytoy a naiyukrad iti ngatoen dagiti uloda.
Over the head of the living creature there was the likeness of an expanse, like an awesome crystal to look at, stretched out over their heads above.
23 Iti sirok ti pimmag-ong nga atep, naukrad ti tunggal payak dagiti parsua ken naisagid ti murdong ti maysa pay a paris a payak ti parsua. Tunggal maysa kadagiti sibibiag a parsua ket addaan met iti agparis a payak a mangabbong kadagiti bagida—tunggal parsua ket adda agparis a payak a mangabbong iti bagina.
Under the expanse, their wings were straight, one toward the other. Each one had two which covered on this side, and each one had two which covered their bodies on that side.
24 Ket nangngegko ti uni dagiti payakda! Kasla uni ti dumaranudor a danum. Kasla timek ti Mannakabalin-amin. No kasta nga umakarda ket kasla adda napigsa a tudo. Kasla arimpadek daytoy ti armada. No kasta nga agsardengda, ibabada dagiti payakda.
When they went, I heard the noise of their wings like the noise of great waters, like the voice of the Almighty, a noise of tumult like the noise of an army. When they stood, they let down their wings.
25 Ket adda timek a nagtaud iti ngatoen ti kasla atep iti ngatoen dagiti uloda no kasta nga agsardengda ken ibabada dagiti payakda.
There was a voice above the expanse that was over their heads. When they stood, they let down their wings.
26 Iti ngato ti kasla atep nga adda iti ngatoen ti ulo dagiti sibibiag a parsua ket adda trono a kasla safiro, ket iti trono, adda maysa nga aglanglanga a tao.
Above the expanse that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone. On the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man on it above.
27 Nakitak ti maysa a banag a kasla agbegbeggang a landok nga adda apuy iti unegna manipud iti ngatoen ti siketna; manipud iti baba ti siketna ket adda iti kasla apuy ken kinaraniag ti adda iti aglawlaw daytoy.
I saw as it were glowing metal, as the appearance of fire within it all around, from the appearance of his waist and upward; and from the appearance of his waist and downward I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness around him.
28 Kasla bullalayaw daytoy nga agparparang iti ulep iti tiempo ti panagtutudo—ken kasla naraniag a silaw ti mangliklikmut iti daytoy. Daytoy a nagparang ket kasla iti dayag ni Yahweh. Idi nakitak daytoy, nagpaklebak, ket adda timek a nangngegko.
As the appearance of the rainbow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around. This was the appearance of the likeness of the LORD’s glory. When I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of one that spoke.
