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 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, 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 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 LORD’s word came to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the LORD’s hand was there on 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.
I looked, and behold, a stormy wind came out of the north: a great cloud, with flashing lightning, and a brightness around it, and out of the middle of it as it were glowing metal, out of the middle of the fire.
5 Hoe raha veloñe efatse ty añivo’e eo le hoe sandri’ ondaty. ty vinta’ iareo.
Out of its center came the likeness of four living creatures. This was their appearance: They had the likeness of a man.
6 Songa aman-daharañe efatse, sindre amañ’ elatse efatse.
Everyone 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,
Their feet were straight feet. The sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf’s foot; and they sparkled like burnished bronze.
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:
They had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides. The four of them had their faces and their wings like this:
9 nifañoza ty ela’ iareo; songa nisitse mahity miaolo, tsy niolake ty fisitsira’e.
Their wings were joined to one another. They did not turn when they went. Each one went 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. The four of them had the face of a lion on the right side. The four of them had the face of an ox on the left side. The four of them 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,
Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out above. Two wings of each one touched another, and two covered their bodies.
12 songa nionjoñe mahity mb’eo, ze nimba’ i arofoy ty nimba’e, tsy nivioñe am-pañaveloañe.
Each one went 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. The fire went up and down among the living creatures. The fire was bright, and lightning went out of the fire.
14 Nipelapelatse mb’ eo hoe fipelan-kelatse i raha veloñe rey.
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 saw the living creatures, behold, there was one wheel on 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. The four of them had one likeness. 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 dreadful; and the four of them had their rims full of eyes all around.
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.
When the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them. 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. The spirit was to go there. 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. When those stood, these stood. 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.
Over the head of the living creature there was the likeness of an expanse, like an awesome crystal to look at, stretched out 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.
Under the expanse, their wings were straight, one toward the other. Each one had two which covered on this side, and each one had two which covered their bodies 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.
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 an army. 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.
There was a voice above the expanse 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.
Above the expanse that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone. On the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man on 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.
I saw as it were glowing metal, as the appearance of fire within it all around, from the appearance of his waist and upward; and from the appearance of his waist and downward I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness around 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 rainbow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around. This was the appearance of the likeness of the LORD’s glory. When I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of one that spoke.
