1 तिसौं वर्षको चौथो महिनाको पाँचौं दिनमा जब म निर्वासितसँग कबार नहरको किनारमा बसिरहँदा यस्‍तो भयो । आकाश खोलियो र मैले परमेश्‍वरका दर्शनहरू देखें ।
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 त्‍यस महिनाको पाँचौं दिनमा— यहोयाकीन राजा निर्वासित भएको यो पाँचौं वर्ष थियो—
In the fifth [day] 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 ।
the word of Jehovah came expressly unto 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 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 ।
And I looked, and, behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, a great cloud, with a fire infolding itself, and a brightness round about it, and out of the midst thereof as it were glowing metal, out of the midst of the fire.
5 माझमा चार जीवित प्राणीहरूजस्ता थिए । तिनीहरूका स्‍वरूप यस्‍तो थियोः तिनीहरू मानिसको स्‍वरूपजस्‍ता थिए,
And out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man;
6 तर तिनीहरू हरेकका चारवटा मुहार थिए, र हरेकका प्राणीका चारवटा पखेटा थिए ।
and every one had four faces, and every one of them had four wings.
7 तिनीहरूका गोडा सीधा थिए, तर तिनीहरूका खुट्टा बाछाका खुरजस्‍ता थिए जो टल्‍काइराखेका काँसाजस्‍तै टल्‍कन्‍थे ।
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 तापनि तिनीहरूका पखेटामुनि चारैतिर मानिसका हातहरू थिए । ती चारैका मुहार र पखेटाहरू यस्ता थिएः
And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings [thus]:
9 एउटाको पखेटाले अर्काको पखेटालाई छोएको थियो, कतै जाँदा तिनीहरू फर्कंदैन थिए । बरु, हरेक सोझै अगाडि हिंड्‌थ्‍यो ।
their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one 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; and they four had the face of a lion on the right side; and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four had 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 ।
And their faces and their wings were separate above; two [wings] of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.
12 तिनीहरू हरेक सोझै हिंड्‌थे, ताकि आत्‍माले जता-जता लग्यो तिनीहरू त्‍यतै जान्‍थे, तिनीहरू यताउता नफर्की हिंड्‌थे ।
And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; they turned not 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; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.
14 ती जीवित प्राणीहरू तिव्र गतिले अघि पछि जान्थे, र तिनीहरू बिजुलीको चमकजस्ता देखिन्‍थे ।
And 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 beheld the living creatures, behold, one wheel upon the earth beside the living creatures, for each of the four faces thereof.
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 unto a beryl: and they four had one likeness; and 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 turned not 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 they four had their rims full of eyes round about.
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 ।
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 आत्‍मा जता जानुहुन्‍थ्‍यो तिनीहरू त्‍यतै जान्‍थे, र ती पाङ्‌ग्राहरू पनि तिनीहरूसँगै उठ्थे, किनकि ती जीवित प्राणीहरूका आत्‍मा तिनै पाङ्‌ग्रामा थिए ।
Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went; thither was the spirit to go: and 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; 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 ती जीवित प्राणीहरूका शिरको मास्‍तिर विशाल अर्धगोलाकार क्षेत्रजस्‍तै थियो । त्यो तिनीहरूको शिरमाथिबाट फैलिएको भयावह स्फटिकझैं देखिन्थ्यो ।
And over the head of the living creature there was the likeness of a firmament, like the terrible crystal to look upon, stretched forth 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 ।
And under the firmament were their wings straight, the one toward the other: every one had two which covered on this side, and every one had two which covered on that side, their bodies.
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 ।
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 जब तिनीहरू ठिङ्ग उभिए र आफ्‍ना पखेटा तल झारे, तब तिनीहरूका शिरहरू मास्‍तिरको विशाल अर्धगोलाकार क्षेत्रबाट एउटा आवाज आयो ।
And there was a voice above the firmament 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 ।
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 मैले उहाँको कम्‍मरदेखि मास्‍तिर जल्‍दो धातुजस्‍तै भएको एउटा आकृति देखें । उहाँको कम्‍मरदेखि मुन्‍तिरको आकृति पनि आगोजस्‍तै देखियो, र उहाँको वरिपरी चहकिलो उज्‍यालोले घेरिराखेको थियो ।
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 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 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 of one that spake.
