エゼキエル書 1
1 第三十年四月の五日に我ケバル河の邊にてかの擄うつされたる者の中にをりしに天ひらけて我神の異象を見たり
And it happened that, in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth of the month, when I was in the midst of the captives beside the river Chebar, the heavens were opened, and I saw the visions of God.
2 是ヱコニヤ王の擄ゆかれしより第五年のその月の五日なりき
On the fifth of the month, the same is the fifth year of the transmigration of king Joachin,
3 時にカルデヤ人の地に於てケバル河の邊にてヱホバの言祭司ブシの子エゼキエルに臨めりヱホバの手かしこにて彼の上にあり
the word of the Lord came to Ezekiel, a priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans, next to the river Chebar. And the hand of the Lord was over him there.
4 我見しに視よ烈き風大なる雲および燃る火の團塊北より出きたる又雲の周圍に輝光ありその中よりして火の中より熱たる金族のごときもの出づ
And I saw, and behold, a whirlwind arrived from the north. And a great cloud, wrapped in fire and brightness, was all around it. And from its midst, that is, from the midst of the fire, there was something with the appearance of amber.
5 其火の中に四箇の生物にて成る一箇の形あり其狀は是のごとし即ち人の象あり
And in its midst, there was the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: the likeness of a man was in them.
6 各四の面あり各四の翼あり
Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings.
7 その足は直なる足その足の跖は犢牛の足の跖のごとくにして磨ける銅のごとくに光れり
Their feet were straight feet, and the sole of their foot was like the sole of the foot of a calf, and they sparkled with the appearance of glowing brass.
8 その生物の四方に翼の下に人の手ありこの四箇の物皆面と翼あり
And they had the hands of a man under their wings on the four sides. And they had faces with the wings on the four sides.
9 その翼はたがひに相つらなれりその往ときに回轉ずして各その面の向ふところに行く
And their wings were joined to one another. They did not turn as they went. Instead, each one advanced before his face.
10 その面の形は人の面のごとし四箇の者右には獅子の面あり四箇の者左には牛の面あり又四箇の者鷲の面あり
But as for the likeness of their face, there was the face of a man, and the face of a lion on the right of each of the four, then the face of an ox on the left of each of the four, and the face of an eagle above each of the four.
11 その面とその翼は上にて分るその各箇の翼二箇は彼と此と相つらなり二箇はその身を覆ふ
Their faces and their wings were extended above: two wings of each one were joined together, and two covered their bodies.
12 各箇その面の向ふところへ行き靈のゆかんとする方に行く又行にまはることなし
And each one of them advanced before his face. Wherever the impetus of the spirit was to go, there they went. And they did not turn as they advanced.
13 その生物の形は爇る炭の火のごとく松明のごとし火生物の中に此彼に行き火輝きてその火の中より電光いづ
And as for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like that of burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps. This was the vision dashing in the midst of the living creatures, a bright fire, with lightning going forth from the fire.
14 その生物奔りて電光の如くに往來す
And the living creatures went and returned like flashes of lightning.
15 我生物を觀しに生物の近邊にあたりてその四箇の面の前に地の上に輪あり
And as I beheld the living creatures, there appeared above the earth, next to the living creatures, one wheel having four faces.
16 其輪の形と作は黄金色の玉のごとしその四箇の形は皆同じその形と作は輪の中に輪のあるがごとくなり
And the appearance of the wheels and their work was like the appearance of the sea. And each of the four were similar to one another. And their appearance and work was like a wheel in the center of a wheel.
17 その行く時は四方に行く行にまはることなし
Going forth, they went by means of their four parts. And they did not turn as they went.
18 その輪輞は高くして畏懼かり輪輞は四箇ともに皆遍く目あり
Also, the size and height and appearance of the wheels was dreadful. And the entire body was full of eyes all around each of the four.
19 生物の行く時は輪その傍に行き生物地をはなれて上る時は輪もまた上る
And when the living creatures advanced, the wheels advanced together with them. And when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels, too, were lifted up at the same time.
20 凡て靈のゆかんとする所には生物その靈のゆかんとする方に往く輪またその傍に上る是生物の靈輪の中にあればなり
Wherever the spirit went, as the spirit was going forth to that place, the wheels, too, were lifted up together, so as to follow them. For the spirit of life was in the wheels.
21 此の行く時は彼もゆき此の止る時は彼も止り此地をはなれて上る時は輪も共にあがる是生物の靈輪の中にあればなり
When going forth, they went forth, and when standing still, they stood still. And when they were lifted up from the earth, the wheels, too, were lifted up together, so as to follow them. For the spirit of life was in the wheels.
22 生物の首の上に畏しき水晶のごとき穹蒼ありてその首の上に展開る
And above the heads of the living creatures was the likeness of a firmament: similar to crystal, but dreadful to behold, and extending over their heads from above.
23 穹蒼の下に其翼直く開きて此と彼とあひ連る又各二箇の翼ありその各の二箇の翼此方彼方にありて身をおほふ
And their wings were straight under the firmament, one toward the other. One of them was covered by two wings on his body, and the other was covered similarly.
24 我その行く時の羽聲を聞に大水の聲のごとく全能者の聲のごとし其聲音の響は軍勢の聲のごとしその立どまる時は翼を垂る
And I heard the sound of their wings, like the sound of many waters, like the sound of the sublime God. When they walked, it was like the sound of a multitude, like the sound of an army. And when they stood still, their wings were let down.
25 その首の上なる穹蒼の上より聲ありその立どまる時は翼を垂る
For when a voice came from above the firmament, which was over their heads, they stood still, and they put down their wings.
26 首の上なる穹蒼の上に靑玉のごとき寶位の狀式ありその寶位の狀式の上に人のごとき者在す、
And above the firmament, which was suspended over their heads, there was the likeness of a throne, with the appearance of the sapphire stone. And over the likeness of the throne, there was a likeness with the appearance of a man above it.
27 又われその中と周圍に磨きたる銅のごとく火のごとくなる者を見る其人の腰より上も腰より下も火のごとくに見ゆ其周圍に輝光あり
And I saw something with the appearance of amber, with the likeness of fire within it and all around it. And from his waist and upward, and from his waist downward, I saw something with the appearance of fire shining all around.
28 その周圍の輝光は雨の日に雲にあらはるる虹のごとしヱホバの榮光かくのごとく見ゆ我これを見て俯伏したるに語る者の聲あるを聞く
There was the appearance of the rainbow, as when it is in a cloud on a rainy day. This was the appearance of the splendor on every side.
