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
Now it came to pass 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, that the heavens were opened, and I saw 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 day of the month, in the fifth year of the captivity of King Jehoiachin,
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 Jehovah came to Ezekiel, the son of Buzi, the priest, in the land of the Chaldaeans, by the river Chebar; and the hand of Jehovah was there upon him.
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 looked, and behold, a stormy wind came from the north, a great cloud, and a mass of fire; and a brightness was round about it, and in the midst of it the appearance of bright brass, in the midst of the fire.
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 the midst of it were the forms of four living creatures. And this was their appearance. They had the form of a man.
6 各四の面あり各四の翼あり
And every one had four faces, and every 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
And their feet were upright; and the sole of their feet was as the sole of a calf's foot; and they sparkled like polished 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 their four sides, and all four had faces and wings.
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
Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not about when they went; they went every one straight forward.
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
As for the form of their faces, all four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion on the right side, and all four had the face of an ox on the left side, and all four had also the face of an eagle.
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
Thus were their faces. And their wings were expanded upward; two wings of every one were joined, 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 they went every one straight forward; whither the spirit was to go, they went, and they turned not about when they went.
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 the appearance of the living creatures was as coals of fire, burning like torches; and the fire moved about among the living creatures, and shone forth brightly; and out of the fire came forth lightning.
14 その生物奔りて電光の如くに往來す
And the living creatures ran backward and forward like a flash 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
Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold, there stood a wheel upon the earth by each of the living creatures, with its four sides.
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
The appearance of the wheels, and their work, was like that of a chrysolite, and all four had one form, and their appearance and their work was as if a wheel had been within a wheel.
17 その行く時は四方に行く行にまはることなし
When they went, they went upon their four sides, and they turned not about when 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
As for their felloes, they were high and terrible; and their felloes were full of eyes round about upon all four of them.
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 went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.
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
Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, whithersoever the spirit was to go; and the wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of the living creatures 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 those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of the living creatures 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 over the heads of the living creatures was the appearance of a firmament, like crystal, terrible, spread out over their heads 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 under the firmament were their wings upright, the one toward the other; and every one had two, which covered his body.
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, as the sound of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, when they went, —a sound like the noise of a host. And when they stood still, they let down their wings.
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
And there was a voice from the firmament, that was over their heads; and they stood still, and let 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 over their heads was an appearance like a sapphire-stone, the form of a throne; and upon the form of the throne there was a form like that of a man above.
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 what had the appearance of bright brass, what had the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins and upward. And from the appearance of his loins downward I saw what had the appearance of fire, and its brightness was round about him.
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
As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the glory of Jehovah. And when I saw it I fell upon my face, and I heard the voice of one who spoke.
