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 of Kebar, [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
In the fifth [day] of the month, which [was] the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity,
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 expressly to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Kebar; and the hand of the LORD 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 whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness [was] about it, and from the midst of it as the color of amber, from 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
Also from the midst of it [came] the likeness of four living creatures. And this [was] their appearance; they had the likeness 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] straight feet; and the sole of their feet [was] like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the color of burnished 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 they four had their faces and their 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 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 likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had 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] stretched upward; two [wings] of every one [were] joined one to another, 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 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
As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance [was] like burning coals of fire, [and] like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.
14 その生物奔りて電光の如くに往來す
And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of 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 one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his 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
The appearance of the wheels and their work [was] like the color of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work [was] as it were a wheel in the middle of 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 returned not 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 rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings [were] full of eyes around them 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 went, the wheels went by 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, thither [was their] spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature [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 over against them: for the spirit of the living creature [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 the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creature [was] as the color of the terrible crystal, stretched forth 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 straight, the one towards the other: every one had two, which covered on this side, and every one had two, which covered on that side, their bodies.
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 when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of a host: when they stood, 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, when they stood, [and] had 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 that [was] over their heads [was] the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne [was] the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon 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 as the color of amber, as the appearance of fire around within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness on all sides.
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 around. 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 a voice of one speaking.
