< इजकिएल 1 >
1 तिसौं वर्षको चौथो महिनाको पाँचौं दिनमा जब म निर्वासितसँग कबार नहरको किनारमा बसिरहँदा यस्तो भयो । आकाश खोलियो र मैले परमेश्वरका दर्शनहरू देखें ।
In the thirtieth year, on the fifth day of the fourth month, while I was among the exiles by the River Kebar, the heavens opened and I saw visions of God.
2 त्यस महिनाको पाँचौं दिनमा— यहोयाकीन राजा निर्वासित भएको यो पाँचौं वर्ष थियो—
On the fifth day of the month—it was the fifth year of the exile of King Jehoiachin—
3 कल्दीहरूको देशमा कबार नहरको किनारमा परमप्रभुको वचन बूजीको छोरो इजकिएल पुजारीकहाँ आयो, र त्यहाँ परमप्रभुको हात तिनीमाथि थियो ।
the word of the LORD came directly to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the River Kebar. And there the LORD’s hand was upon him.
4 तब मैले हेरें, र उत्तरबाट आँधीबेहरी आइरहेको थियो । एउटा विशाल बादल, बिजुलीको चमकसमेत, अनि त्यसको वरिपरि र भित्र चहकिलो उज्यालो थियो, र त्यस आगोको माझ जल्दो पहेंलो धातुझैं थियो ।
I looked and saw a whirlwind coming from the north, a great cloud with fire flashing back and forth and brilliant light all around it. In the center of the fire was a gleam like amber,
5 माझमा चार जीवित प्राणीहरूजस्ता थिए । तिनीहरूका स्वरूप यस्तो थियोः तिनीहरू मानिसको स्वरूपजस्ता थिए,
and within it was the form of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: They had a human form,
6 तर तिनीहरू हरेकका चारवटा मुहार थिए, र हरेकका प्राणीका चारवटा पखेटा थिए ।
but each had four faces and four wings.
7 तिनीहरूका गोडा सीधा थिए, तर तिनीहरूका खुट्टा बाछाका खुरजस्ता थिए जो टल्काइराखेका काँसाजस्तै टल्कन्थे ।
Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the hooves of a calf, gleaming like polished bronze.
8 तापनि तिनीहरूका पखेटामुनि चारैतिर मानिसका हातहरू थिए । ती चारैका मुहार र पखेटाहरू यस्ता थिएः
Under their wings on their four sides they had human hands. All four living creatures had faces and wings,
9 एउटाको पखेटाले अर्काको पखेटालाई छोएको थियो, कतै जाँदा तिनीहरू फर्कंदैन थिए । बरु, हरेक सोझै अगाडि हिंड्थ्यो ।
and their wings were touching one another. They did not turn as they moved; each one went straight ahead.
10 तिनीहरूका मुहार मानिसको झैं थियो । ती चारैको दाहिनेपट्टिको मुहार सिंहको जस्तो र देब्रेपट्टिको अनुहारचाहिं गोरुको जस्तो थियो । ती चारैवटाको चिलको जस्तो अनुहार पनि थियो ।
The form of their faces was that of a man, and each of the four had the face of a lion on the right side, the face of an ox on the left side, and also the face of an eagle.
11 तिनीहरूका मुहार यस्तै थिए, र तिनीहरूका पखेटाचाहिं बाहिर मास्तिर फैलिएका थिए । हरेकका दुईवटा पखेटाले चाहिं एउटाले अर्काको पखेटालाई छोएका थिए, र दुईवटा पखेटाले आ-आफ्ना शरीर ढाकेका थिए ।
Such were their faces. Their wings were spread upward; each had two wings touching the wings of the creature on either side, and two wings covering its body.
12 तिनीहरू हरेक सोझै हिंड्थे, ताकि आत्माले जता-जता लग्यो तिनीहरू त्यतै जान्थे, तिनीहरू यताउता नफर्की हिंड्थे ।
Each creature went straight ahead. Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, without turning as they moved.
13 ती जीवित प्राणीहरूको आकृति जलिरहेको आगोको भुङ्ग्रोजस्तो, राँकोहरूजस्ता थिए । ती प्राणीहरूको बिचमा चम्किलो आगो यताउता जान्थ्यो, र त्यहाँ बिजुलीका चमकहरू थिए ।
In the midst of the living creatures was the appearance of glowing coals of fire, or of torches. Fire moved back and forth between the living creatures; it was bright, and lightning flashed out of it.
14 ती जीवित प्राणीहरू तिव्र गतिले अघि पछि जान्थे, र तिनीहरू बिजुलीको चमकजस्ता देखिन्थे ।
The creatures were darting back and forth as quickly as flashes of lightning.
15 तब मैले ती जीवित प्राणीहरूलाई हेरें र ती चारै मुहार भएका हरेक प्राणीको छेउमा मैले जमिनमा एउटा पाङ्ग्रा देखें ।
When I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the ground beside each creature with its four faces.
16 ती पाङ्ग्राहरूका आकार र बनावट यस्ता थिएः हरेक पाङ्ग्रा पीतमणिजस्तै थिए, र ती चारैवटा उस्तै किसिमका थिए । एउटा पाङ्ग्रो अर्को पाङ्ग्रोमा खप्टिएको भएझैं थियो ।
The workmanship of the wheels looked like the gleam of beryl, and all four had the same likeness. Their workmanship looked like a wheel within a wheel.
17 जसै ती हलचल गर्थे, तब कतै नफर्की ती चारैतिर हिंड्थे ।
As they moved, they went in any of the four directions, without pivoting as they moved.
18 तिनीहरूका घेरा अल्गा र डरलाग्दा थिए, किनकि ती चारै घेरा आँखाहरूले भरिएका थिए ।
Their rims were high and awesome, and all four rims were full of eyes all around.
19 जब ती जीवित प्राणीहरू चलहल गर्थे, तब ती पाङ्ग्राहरू पनि साथसाथै हिंड्थे । जब ती जीवित प्राणीहरू जमिनबाट माथि उठ्थे, तब ती पाङ्ग्राहरू पनि उठ्थे ।
So as the living creatures moved, the wheels moved beside them, and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose.
20 आत्मा जता जानुहुन्थ्यो तिनीहरू त्यतै जान्थे, र ती पाङ्ग्राहरू पनि तिनीहरूसँगै उठ्थे, किनकि ती जीवित प्राणीहरूका आत्मा तिनै पाङ्ग्रामा थिए ।
Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, and the wheels would rise alongside them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
21 जब ती प्राणीहरू चलहल गर्थे, तब पाङ्ग्राहरू पनि चलहल गर्थे । अनि जब ती प्राणीहरू ठिङ्ग उभिन्थे, तब ती पाङ्ग्राहरू पनि ठिङ्ग उभिन्थे । ती प्राणीहरू जमिनबाट उठ्दा यी पाङ्ग्रा पनि तिनीहरूसँगै उठेर जान्थे, किनभने ती जीवित प्राणीहरूका आत्मा ती पाङ्ग्रामा नै थिए ।
When the creatures moved, the wheels moved; when the creatures stood still, the wheels stood still; and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels rose alongside them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
22 ती जीवित प्राणीहरूका शिरको मास्तिर विशाल अर्धगोलाकार क्षेत्रजस्तै थियो । त्यो तिनीहरूको शिरमाथिबाट फैलिएको भयावह स्फटिकझैं देखिन्थ्यो ।
Spread out above the heads of the living creatures was the likeness of an awesome expanse, gleaming like crystal.
23 त्यो विशाल अर्धगोलाकार क्षेत्र मुन्तिर ती हरेक प्राणीका पखेटाहरू सोझै फैलिएका थिए र एउटाको पखेटाले अर्काको पखेटालाई छुन्थ्यो । हरेक जीवित प्राणीका आफूलाई ढाक्ने एकजोडी पखेटा थिए । हरेकसित आफूलाई ढाक्ने जोडी थियो ।
And under the expanse, their wings stretched out toward one another. Each one also had two wings covering its body.
24 तब मैले तिनीहरूका पखेटाको आवाज सुनें । त्यो आवाज धेरै पानीको हल्लाजस्तै थियो । जब तिनीहरू हलचल गर्थे, तब सर्वशक्तिमान्को आवाजजस्तो हुन्थ्यो । आँधीको वर्षाजस्तो थियो । सेनाको आवाजजस्तो थियो । जब तिनीहरू ठिङ्ग उभिन्थे, तब तिनीहरूले आफ्ना पखेटा तल झार्थे ।
When the creatures moved, I heard the sound of their wings like the roar of many waters, like the voice of the Almighty, like the tumult of an army. When they stood still, they lowered their wings.
25 जब तिनीहरू ठिङ्ग उभिए र आफ्ना पखेटा तल झारे, तब तिनीहरूका शिरहरू मास्तिरको विशाल अर्धगोलाकार क्षेत्रबाट एउटा आवाज आयो ।
And there came a voice from above the expanse over their heads as they stood still with their wings lowered.
26 तिनीहरू शिरमाथिका विशाल अर्धगोलाकार क्षेत्रमाथि एउटा सिंहासनजस्तो थियो जुन हेर्दा त्यो नीलमणीजस्तै देखिन्थ्यो, र त्यो सिंहासनजस्तोमा बस्नेको स्वरूप मानिसको जस्तो थियो ।
Above the expanse over their heads was the likeness of a throne with the appearance of sapphire, and on the throne high above was a figure like that of a man.
27 मैले उहाँको कम्मरदेखि मास्तिर जल्दो धातुजस्तै भएको एउटा आकृति देखें । उहाँको कम्मरदेखि मुन्तिरको आकृति पनि आगोजस्तै देखियो, र उहाँको वरिपरी चहकिलो उज्यालोले घेरिराखेको थियो ।
From what seemed to be His waist up, I saw a gleam like amber, with what looked like fire within it all around. And from what seemed to be His waist down, I saw what looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded Him.
28 उहाँको वरिपरीको चम्किलो उज्यालो पानी परेको दिन बादलमा देखिने इन्द्रेनीको आकारझैं उज्ज्वल थियो । त्यो परमप्रभुका महिमासँग मिल्दो दोखिन्थ्यो । जब मैले त्यो देखें तब म घोप्टो परें, र एउटा बोलिरहेको आवाज मैले सुनें ।
The appearance of the brilliant light all around Him was like that of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell facedown and heard a voice speaking.
