< 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 ।
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 त्यस महिनाको पाँचौं दिनमा— यहोयाकीन राजा निर्वासित भएको यो पाँचौं वर्ष थियो—
In the fifth of the month, which was the fifth year of King Jehoiachin’s captivity,
3 कल्दीहरूको देशमा कबार नहरको किनारमा परमप्रभुको वचन बूजीको छोरो इजकिएल पुजारीकहाँ आयो, र त्यहाँ परमप्रभुको हात तिनीमाथि थियो ।
Yahweh’s word came to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and Yahweh’s hand was there on 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 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 माझमा चार जीवित प्राणीहरूजस्ता थिए । तिनीहरूका स्वरूप यस्तो थियोः तिनीहरू मानिसको स्वरूपजस्ता थिए,
Out of its center came the likeness of four living creatures. This was their appearance: They had the likeness of a man.
6 तर तिनीहरू हरेकका चारवटा मुहार थिए, र हरेकका प्राणीका चारवटा पखेटा थिए ।
Everyone had four faces, and each one of them had four wings.
7 तिनीहरूका गोडा सीधा थिए, तर तिनीहरूका खुट्टा बाछाका खुरजस्ता थिए जो टल्काइराखेका काँसाजस्तै टल्कन्थे ।
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 तापनि तिनीहरूका पखेटामुनि चारैतिर मानिसका हातहरू थिए । ती चारैका मुहार र पखेटाहरू यस्ता थिएः
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 एउटाको पखेटाले अर्काको पखेटालाई छोएको थियो, कतै जाँदा तिनीहरू फर्कंदैन थिए । बरु, हरेक सोझै अगाडि हिंड्थ्यो ।
Their wings were joined to one another. They didn’t turn when they went. Each one went straight forward.
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 ।
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 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 out above. Two wings of each one touched another, and two covered their bodies.
12 तिनीहरू हरेक सोझै हिंड्थे, ताकि आत्माले जता-जता लग्यो तिनीहरू त्यतै जान्थे, तिनीहरू यताउता नफर्की हिंड्थे ।
Each one went straight forward. Where the spirit was to go, they went. They didn’t turn when they went.
13 ती जीवित प्राणीहरूको आकृति जलिरहेको आगोको भुङ्ग्रोजस्तो, राँकोहरूजस्ता थिए । ती प्राणीहरूको बिचमा चम्किलो आगो यताउता जान्थ्यो, र त्यहाँ बिजुलीका चमकहरू थिए ।
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 ती जीवित प्राणीहरू तिव्र गतिले अघि पछि जान्थे, र तिनीहरू बिजुलीको चमकजस्ता देखिन्थे ।
The living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.
15 तब मैले ती जीवित प्राणीहरूलाई हेरें र ती चारै मुहार भएका हरेक प्राणीको छेउमा मैले जमिनमा एउटा पाङ्ग्रा देखें ।
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 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 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 जसै ती हलचल गर्थे, तब कतै नफर्की ती चारैतिर हिंड्थे ।
When they went, they went in their four directions. They didn’t turn when they went.
18 तिनीहरूका घेरा अल्गा र डरलाग्दा थिए, किनकि ती चारै घेरा आँखाहरूले भरिएका थिए ।
As for their rims, they were high and dreadful; and the four of them had their rims 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 ।
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 आत्मा जता जानुहुन्थ्यो तिनीहरू त्यतै जान्थे, र ती पाङ्ग्राहरू पनि तिनीहरूसँगै उठ्थे, किनकि ती जीवित प्राणीहरूका आत्मा तिनै पाङ्ग्रामा थिए ।
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 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 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 ती जीवित प्राणीहरूका शिरको मास्तिर विशाल अर्धगोलाकार क्षेत्रजस्तै थियो । त्यो तिनीहरूको शिरमाथिबाट फैलिएको भयावह स्फटिकझैं देखिन्थ्यो ।
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 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 ।
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 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 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 जब तिनीहरू ठिङ्ग उभिए र आफ्ना पखेटा तल झारे, तब तिनीहरूका शिरहरू मास्तिरको विशाल अर्धगोलाकार क्षेत्रबाट एउटा आवाज आयो ।
There was a voice above the expanse that was over their heads. When they stood, they let down their wings.
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 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 मैले उहाँको कम्मरदेखि मास्तिर जल्दो धातुजस्तै भएको एउटा आकृति देखें । उहाँको कम्मरदेखि मुन्तिरको आकृति पनि आगोजस्तै देखियो, र उहाँको वरिपरी चहकिलो उज्यालोले घेरिराखेको थियो ।
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 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 ।
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 Yahweh’s glory. When I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of one that spoke.
