< Ezekiela 1 >
1 Tamy andro faha-lime ty volam-pahefa’ i taom-paha-telo-poloy, izaho nitraok’ amo naseseo, añ’olon-tsaka Kebare eo, le nisokake o likerañeo vaho niaroñaroñeko i Andrinañahare.
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 Tamy andro faha-lime’ i volañeiy, i taom-paha-lime naha aman-drohi’ Ioiakine mpanjakay,
In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity,
3 le niheo am’ Iekezkèle mpisoroñe ana’ i Bozy, an-tane’ o nte-Kasdio, añ’ olon-tsaka Kebarey, ty tsara’ Iehovà, vaho tama’e ty fità’ Iehovà.
the word of Jehovah came expressly to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar, and the hand of Jehovah was there upon him.
4 Izaho nañente, le hehe te boak’ avaratsey ty tio-bey: rahoñe jabajaba niarisehoam-palipalitsieñe, le nitolom-pitsopèlatse boak’ama’e ty afo, vaho an-teñateña’ i afoy ty mañirinkiriñe ty vato-voñe miloeloe.
And I looked, and, behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, a great cloud, with a fire enfolding itself, and a brightness round about it, and out of the midst of it, as it were glowing metal, out of the midst of the fire.
5 Hoe raha veloñe efatse ty añivo’e eo le hoe sandri’ ondaty. ty vinta’ iareo.
And out of the midst of it came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance. They had the likeness of a man.
6 Songa aman-daharañe efatse, sindre amañ’ elatse efatse.
And each one had four faces, and each one of them had four wings.
7 Nahity o fandia’eo, le nihoe tombon-temboay o fandia’eo vaho nitsopelatsopelatse hoe torisìke vinañe,
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 burnished brass.
8 ie amam-pità’ondaty efatse ambane’ o ela’eo amo ila’e efatseo. Le hoe zao ty laharañe naho ty ela’ i efatse rey:
And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides. And those four had their faces and their wings thus:
9 nifañoza ty ela’ iareo; songa nisitse mahity miaolo, tsy niolake ty fisitsira’e.
Their wings were joined one to another. They did not turn when they went; they went each one straight forward.
10 Aa ty amo vintan-dahara’eo: le songa aman-dahara’ ondaty i efatse rey, sindre tarehen-diona ty añ’ila ankavana’e naho tarehen’ añombe ty an-kavia’ i efatse rey, vaho sambe aman-tarehem-bantio i efatse rey;
As for the likeness of their faces, they had the face of a man. And those four had the face of a lion on the right side, and those four had the face of an ox on the left side, those four also had the face of an eagle.
11 izay i tarehe’e rey. Nivelatse ambone eo o ela’eo; songa amañ’ elatse roe nifampitakatse ami’ty ela’ ty ila’e, le elatse roe ka ty nanaroñe i sandri’ey,
And their faces and their wings were separate above, two wings of each one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.
12 songa nionjoñe mahity mb’eo, ze nimba’ i arofoy ty nimba’e, tsy nivioñe am-pañaveloañe.
And they went each one straight forward. Where the spirit was to go, they went. They did not turn when they went.
13 Ty vinta’ i raha veloñe rey le hoe vaen-afo mirekake, manahake failo mihelohelo mb’etia mb’atia amo raha veloñeo; nireandreañe i afoy, vaho nipelatse boak’ añ’afo ao ty helatse.
As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches. It went up and down among the living creatures, and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.
14 Nipelapelatse mb’ eo hoe fipelan-kelatse i raha veloñe rey.
And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.
15 Ie nañente i raha veloñe rey iraho, le nahatrea te songa aman-darò an-tane añ’ila i raha veloñe efatse rey.
Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold, one wheel was upon the earth beside the living creatures, for each of the four faces of it.
16 Aa ty amy vinta’ o laròo naho ty fitseneañe iareo, le hoe am-bintañe berile miloeloe, nihambam-bintañe iaby i efatse rey, rinanjy hoe larò añ’ate’ ty larò.
The appearance of the wheels and their work was like a beryl. And those four had one likeness, and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel within a wheel.
17 Ie nañavelo mb’aman-dra aia aia amo zoro-tane efatseo le tsy nivioñe te nionjoñe.
When they went, they went in their four directions. They did not turn when they went.
18 Abo naho naharevendreveñe o bandin-darò’eo amy te tsitsike maso o zanti’eo.
As for their rims, they were high and fearful. And those four had their rims full of eyes round about.
19 Ie nisitsitse i raha veloñe rey le nandeha ka i larò rey añ’ila’ iareo eo; aa ie nionjoñe mb’añ’abo mb’eo i raha veloñe rey le nionjoñe ka i larò rey.
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 Ndra aia’ aia nandenà’ i arofoy, ty nandenà’ iareo, le nindre nionjoñe am’ iereo i larò rey; amy te tañate’ o larò’eo ty arofo’ i raha veloñe rey.
Wherever the spirit was to go, they went; there the spirit was to go. And the wheels were lifted up beside them, for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
21 Ie nisitse le nisitse ka ty larò; ie nijohañe le nitsangañe ka ty larò; vaho ie nionjo boak’ an-tane eo, le nindre nionjoñe ka i larò rey; amy te tam-po’ o laròo ao ty arofo’ o raha veloñeo.
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 creature was in the wheels.
22 Ambone’ ty loha’ o raha veloñeo le ty nanahake tafo-bokoke, niloeloe hoe kristaly, milañelañe ambone’ o loha’eo.
And over the head of the living creature there was the likeness of a firmament, like awesome crystal to look upon, stretched forth over their heads above.
23 Ambane’ i bokokey le nivelatse mahity o ela’ iareoo, ty raike mb’amy ty raike, le amañ’ elatse roe, nanaroñe ty vata’e ty raike, vaho elatse roe ka ty nanaroñe ty añila’ i vata’ey.
And under the firmament their wings were straight, the one toward the other. Each one had two which covered their bodies on this side, and each one had two which covered on that side.
24 Ie nisitse iereo, le tsinanoko hoe fitroñan-drano bey o ela’eo, manahake ty fiarañanaña’ i El-Sadai, le ty feom-pivalitsikotàhan-dahindefoñe; ie nitsangañe iereo le napoke mañambàne o ela’eo.
And 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 a host. When they stood, they let down their wings.
25 Aa ie niboak’ amy bokoke ambone’ loha’ iareo eiy ty fiarañanañañe, le nijohañe eo vaho naradorado’ iareo o ela’eo.
And there was a voice above the firmament that was over their heads. When they stood, they let down their wings.
26 Ambone’ ty bokok’ ambone’ o loha’ iareoo le nihoe fiambesatse, naho hoe safira t’ie nirendreheñe; vaho niambesatse ambone’ i hoe fiambesatsey ty nirendreke te amam-binta’ ondaty.
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 a likeness as the appearance of a man upon it above.
27 Le nitreako hoe t’ie am-bolon-torisike mileoloe, hoe afo ty ama’e ao naho miariseho. Boak’ amo hoe vania’eo mañambone, naho hirik’ amo hoe vania’eo mañambane, le hoe afo t’ie nenteako, vaho niarisehoam-pireandreañañe.
And I saw as it were glowing metal, as the appearance of fire within it round about, from the appearance of his loins and upward. And from the appearance of his loins and downward I saw as it were the appearance of fire. And there was brightness round about him.
28 Manahake ty àvañe an-drahoñe an-gobon’ andro ty niboaha’ ty fireandreañe niariseho aze, ie mañirinkiriñe ty vinta’ ty enge’ Iehovà. Aa ie nitreako le nibabok’ an-tareheko vaho tsinanoko ty fiarañanaña’ ty mitsara,
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 likeness of the glory of Jehovah. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice speaking.
