Izikeli 1
1 Hagi 30ma hia kafumofona namba 4 ikamofona 5fugnare kina vahezagane Kebar tinkenare Babiloni mani'nogeno, monamo'a anagige'na ava'nagna zampi Anumzamofona ke'noe.
[I am] Ezekiel, a priest, the son of Buzi. When I was 30 years [old], I [living] among [Israeli] people who had been (exiled from/forced to leave) [and had come to Babylon]. I was living along the Kebar River/ [south of Babylon]. Almost five years after King Jehoiachin had been (exiled/forced to leave Judah), on the fifth day of the fourth [of that year, it was as though] the sky was opened and I saw visions from God. On that day,
2 Hagi ana 5fu kna zupa kini ne' Jehoiakinima kinama huno mani'nea kafumo'a 5fu'a kafu hu'ne.
3 Hagi nagra Busi nemofo pristi ne' Izikeli'na Babiloni vahe mopafi Kebar tinte mani'nogeno Ra Anumzamo'a keaga nenasamino, azana nagrite ante'ne.
God gave me [in visions here] in Babylonia, and I felt the power [MTY] of Yahweh on me.
4 Hagi negogeno noti kazigati tusi'a ununko atuno ne-egeno, hampomo'ene kopsinamo'enena tusiza nehigeno, ana hampona tusi hankavenentake masamo rugagintegeno, amu'nompina teve neregeno, ainima tevefima kre fizoma higeno koranentake'ma hiaza nehigeno tevemo'a ruragareno vuno eno hu'ne.
[In one of the visions, I saw a] windstorm coming from the north. There was a huge cloud, and lightning was flashing continually, and a brilliant light surrounded the cloud. In the center of where the lightning was flashing there was something that resembled glowing bronze.
5 Hagi ana tevemofo amu'nompina 4'a kasefa'ma hu'za mani'naza zagarami mani'naze. Hagi ana 4'a zagama zamagoana, vahe kna hazageno,
In the center of the storm I saw what resembled four living creatures. They resembled humans,
6 mago magomofona 4'a avugosagi, 4'a agekonagi huno metere hu'ne.
but each of them had four faces and four wings [DOU].
7 Hagi zamagiamo'a fatgo higeno, zamaga agusamo'a bulimakao afu anentamofo agiamo'ma hiaza higeno, ana zamaga agusamo'a bronsi eri masave huntazageno masanentake huno tampretampre hiankna hu'ne.
Their legs were straight. Their feet resembled the hooves of calves, and the creatures shone like polished bronze.
8 Hagi ana 4'a zagaramimofona 4'a kaziga zamageko'namofo henka kaziga, vahe aza huntetere hu'ne. Ana higeno magoke magokemofona 4'a avugosane, agekonane metere higeno,
On their four sides under their wings there were hands like humans have.
9 zamagekonama rufanara'ma hazageno'a mago'mofo ageko'namo'a mago'mofo agekona ome avako hutere hu'ne. Hagi kama vazana mago mago'mo'a rukrahera osu vu fatgo hu'naze.
As the four [stood there, they formed a circle/square], with their wings touching each other. They did not turn when they were moving; they went straight ahead.
10 Hagi ana 4'a zagaramimofo zamavugosamo'a amanahu hu'ne, avuga kaziga vahe avugosa huntegeno, tamaga kaziga laioni avugosa huntegeno, hoga kaziga ve bulimakao afu'mofo avugosa huntegeno, zamefira tumpamofo avugosa hunte'ne.
[of the creatures had four faces]. The face that was in front [of each one was a face that] resembled a human face. The face on the right side resembled a lion’s face. The face on the left side resembled an ox’s face. The face in back resembled an eagle’s face.
11 Zamavugosamo'a e'ina hu'ne. Hagi mago mago zagamofona 4'a ageko'na huntetere hu'neankino, tare zamageko'namo'a rufanara higeno, magomofo agekonamo'a magomofo agekonare ome avako hutere hu'ne. Hagi tare zamageko'nanura zamavufaga eri fraki'naze.
Two of each creature’s wings were lifted up and touched the wings of the creatures that were on each side. The other two wings were folded against the creature’s body.
12 Hagi mago magomo'a avugosama huntenerega vu fatgo nehigeno, Avamumo'ma vuoma hirega rukrahera osu ana zagaramimo'za nevaze.
The creatures went straight ahead in whatever direction the [that controlled/guided them] wanted them to go, without changing directions while they were moving.
13 Hagi ana zagaramimofo amu'nozmifina tevema nereazamo'a, tankanu'zagna huge, tosi tavikna zamo vuge ege hu'ne. Hagi ana tevemo'a tusiza huno hagna hagna huno remsa nehigeno, ana tevefintira kopsinamo'a rutrage huno vuno eno hu'ne.
[four] creatures resembled burning coals or torches. A blazing fire moved back and forth among the creatures, and lighting flashed from among them.
14 Hagi ana tevefina kasefa'ma hu'zama mani'naza zagamo'za kopsinamo'ma hiaza hu'za trage hu'za vuge'ege hu'naze.
The creatures moved back and [extremely rapidly], like [SIM] flashes of lightning.
15 Hagi ana zagaramima zamagoana, mago mago zagamofo asoparega mopafina mago mago wili metere higeno, ana makara 4'a me'nege'na ke'noe.
While I looked at the four living creatures, I saw a wheel on the ground beside each of them.
16 Hagi ana wilimo'za amanahu hu'naze, zamavufaga'amo'a berilie nehaza havereti'ma nehiaza huno ana wilimo'za mago zanke hu'za marave marave nehazageno, mago mago wilimofo agu'afina mago wilimo rugeka huno metere hu'ne.
Each of the wheels was the same, and they all shone like [SIM] (chrysolite/a valuable green stone). Each seemed to have one wheel inside another wheel.
17 Hagi ana zagaramimo'za 4'a kaziga zamavugosa hunte'nazanki'za, vunaku'ma hazankazigama nevu'za, rukrahera osu amne vu fatgo hu'naze.
Whenever they moved, they would go straight in one of the four directions that they faced; they did not [in another direction] while they moved.
18 Hagi ana wiliramimofoma eri koravema hunte'nea ainiramimo'a ra huno za'za hu'negeno rama'a avurgaramimo megagi'ne.
The rims of the wheels were covered with eyes.
19 Hagi kasefa'ma hu'za mani'naza zagamo'zama kama nevazageno'a, ana wilimo'za magoka vuge, haresgama hu'za marerizage'za zamagranena ana nehaze.
Whenever the living creatures moved, the wheels moved with them. [So] whenever the creatures rose from the ground, the [also] rose up.
20 Ina kazigoma avamu'mo'ma virega nevazageno, wilimo'zanena vu'naze. Na'ankure kasefa'ma huza mani'naza zagaramimokizmi avamu'mo'a ana wiliramimpina mani'ne.
Wherever the [that controlled the creatures] wanted the creatures to go, they went, and the wheels went with them, because the [that controlled/guided them] was in the wheels [DOU].
21 Hagi ana zagaramimo'zama nevazageno'a, ana wiliramimo'za nevazageno, ome otizage'za ome oneti'za, haresgama hazage'za, zamagranena magoka ana zanke huza haresga hu'naze. Na'ankure kasefa'ma hu'za mani'naza zagaramimokizmi avamu'mo'a, ana wiliramimpi mani'ne.
Whenever the creatures moved, the wheels moved. Whenever the creatures [still], the wheels stopped. Whenever the creatures rose up from the ground, the wheels rose up with them.
22 Hagi ana zagaramimofo zamasenirega anagamu kankamumpina aisire'ma zagema rentegeno'ma rumarave nehiaza huno rumsa huvagare'ne.
Above the heads of the creatures there was something that resembled a dome. It shone like ice (OR, crystal) shines, and it was awesome.
23 Hagi fenkama kazigama me'nea kankamumpina ana zagamo'za tare zamagekona rutare'za mago'mofo agekonamo'a magomofo agekonare avako hutere nehazageno, tare zamagekonanura zamavufaga refitetere hu'naze.
Under the dome, the creatures stretched out their wings. Each one had two wings; [each wing] stretched towards the creature [was next to] it, and two wings that were against the creature’s body.
24 Hagi ana zagamo'za hare'zama nevazageno'a zamagekonamofo zamagasasamo'a rama'a timofo agasasagna nehigeno, Hankavenentake Anumzamofo agerumo'ma nehiankna nehigeno, rama'a sondia vahetmimofo zmagasasankna nehigena antahi'noe. Hagi kaza'ma osu uomaneti'za, zamagekona atrazageno urami'ne.
Whenever the creatures moved, their wings made a sound that resembled the roar made by a rushing stream. It also sounded like the voice of Almighty God, and like [SIM] the noise of a huge army marching. Whenever the creatures stood [on the ground], they lowered their wings.
25 Hagi zamagekona atrazageno uramige'zama o'matizageno'a, anagamu zamasenirega kankamumpinti mago ageru aru'ne.
While they [on the ground] with their wings lowered, there was a voice from the dome that was over their heads.
26 Hagi ana zagaramimofo zamasenirega anagamu kankamumpina safie nehaza havereti tro hu'naza kini tra me'ankna higeno, ana tratera vahe'ma maniaza hu'nege'na ke'noe.
Above the dome was something that resembled [huge] [that was made of a huge] (sapphire/valuable blue stone). Sitting on the throne was someone that resembled a human.
27 Hagi ana vahe'mofona afafafinti'ma mareri anagate'nea avufgamo'a, tefi'zoma hu'nea ainireti'ma hiaza huno rumsa hugagi'ne. Hagi afafafinti'ma mefenkamuma te'nea avufgamo'a tevenefa kna higeno, tusi'a masamo masanentake huno ana nera rugaginte'ne.
I saw that above his waist his body resembled metal that was glowing as though it [a very hot] fire inside it. And I saw that below his waist there was a very brilliant light that surrounded him.
28 Ana ne'mofoma rugagima ante'nea masazamo'a, ko'ma ru knafima furagenamo'ma rugaginteankna hu'ne. Ra Anumzamofo hanavemofo masamo e'inara hu'ne. Hagi ana zama nege'na, navugosaregati mopafi masene'na nentahugeno mago vahe'mo nanekea hu'ne.
[shone] like [SIM] a rainbow shines in the clouds on a rainy day. That was the brilliant light that represented the presence of Yahweh. When I saw it, I prostrated myself on the ground, and I heard him speak.
