1 तिसौं वर्षको चौथो महिनाको पाँचौं दिनमा जब म निर्वासितसँग कबार नहरको किनारमा बसिरहँदा यस्‍तो भयो । आकाश खोलियो र मैले परमेश्‍वरका दर्शनहरू देखें ।
And it happened that, in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth of the month, when I was in the midst of the captives beside the river Chebar, the heavens were opened, and I saw the visions of God.
2 त्‍यस महिनाको पाँचौं दिनमा— यहोयाकीन राजा निर्वासित भएको यो पाँचौं वर्ष थियो—
On the fifth of the month, the same is the fifth year of the transmigration of king Joachin,
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 to Ezekiel, a priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans, next to the river Chebar. And the hand of the Lord was over him there.
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 saw, and behold, a whirlwind arrived from the north. And a great cloud, wrapped in fire and brightness, was all around it. And from its midst, that is, from the midst of the fire, there was something with the appearance of amber.
5 माझमा चार जीवित प्राणीहरूजस्ता थिए । तिनीहरूका स्‍वरूप यस्‍तो थियोः तिनीहरू मानिसको स्‍वरूपजस्‍ता थिए,
And in its midst, there was the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: the likeness of a man was in them.
6 तर तिनीहरू हरेकका चारवटा मुहार थिए, र हरेकका प्राणीका चारवटा पखेटा थिए ।
Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings.
7 तिनीहरूका गोडा सीधा थिए, तर तिनीहरूका खुट्टा बाछाका खुरजस्‍ता थिए जो टल्‍काइराखेका काँसाजस्‍तै टल्‍कन्‍थे ।
Their feet were straight feet, and the sole of their foot was like the sole of the foot of a calf, and they sparkled with the appearance of glowing 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 the four sides. And they had faces with the wings on the four sides.
9 एउटाको पखेटाले अर्काको पखेटालाई छोएको थियो, कतै जाँदा तिनीहरू फर्कंदैन थिए । बरु, हरेक सोझै अगाडि हिंड्‌थ्‍यो ।
And their wings were joined to one another. They did not turn as they went. Instead, each one advanced before his face.
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 ।
But as for the likeness of their face, there was the face of a man, and the face of a lion on the right of each of the four, then the face of an ox on the left of each of the four, and the face of an eagle above each of the four.
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 ।
Their faces and their wings were extended above: two wings of each one were joined together, and two covered their bodies.
12 तिनीहरू हरेक सोझै हिंड्‌थे, ताकि आत्‍माले जता-जता लग्यो तिनीहरू त्‍यतै जान्‍थे, तिनीहरू यताउता नफर्की हिंड्‌थे ।
And each one of them advanced before his face. Wherever the impetus of the spirit was to go, there they went. And they did not turn as they advanced.
13 ती जीवित प्राणीहरूको आकृति जलिरहेको आगोको भुङ्‌ग्रोजस्तो, राँकोहरूजस्‍ता थिए । ती प्राणीहरूको बिचमा चम्किलो आगो यताउता जान्थ्यो, र त्‍यहाँ बिजुलीका चमकहरू थिए ।
And as for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like that of burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps. This was the vision dashing in the midst of the living creatures, a bright fire, with lightning going forth from the fire.
14 ती जीवित प्राणीहरू तिव्र गतिले अघि पछि जान्थे, र तिनीहरू बिजुलीको चमकजस्ता देखिन्‍थे ।
And the living creatures went and returned like flashes of lightning.
15 तब मैले ती जीवित प्राणीहरूलाई हेरें र ती चारै मुहार भएका हरेक प्राणीको छेउमा मैले जमिनमा एउटा पाङ्‌ग्रा देखें ।
And as I beheld the living creatures, there appeared above the earth, next to the living creatures, one wheel having 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 ।
And the appearance of the wheels and their work was like the appearance of the sea. And each of the four were similar to one another. And their appearance and work was like a wheel in the center of a wheel.
17 जसै ती हलचल गर्थे, तब कतै नफर्की ती चारैतिर हिंड्‌थे ।
Going forth, they went by means of their four parts. And they did not turn as they went.
18 तिनीहरूका घेरा अल्‍गा र डरलाग्‍दा थिए, किनकि ती चारै घेरा आँखाहरूले भरिएका थिए ।
Also, the size and height and appearance of the wheels was dreadful. And the entire body was full of eyes all around each of the four.
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 advanced, the wheels advanced together with them. And when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels, too, were lifted up at the same time.
20 आत्‍मा जता जानुहुन्‍थ्‍यो तिनीहरू त्‍यतै जान्‍थे, र ती पाङ्‌ग्राहरू पनि तिनीहरूसँगै उठ्थे, किनकि ती जीवित प्राणीहरूका आत्‍मा तिनै पाङ्‌ग्रामा थिए ।
Wherever the spirit went, as the spirit was going forth to that place, the wheels, too, were lifted up together, so as to follow them. For the spirit of life 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 going forth, they went forth, and when standing still, they stood still. And when they were lifted up from the earth, the wheels, too, were lifted up together, so as to follow them. For the spirit of life was in the wheels.
22 ती जीवित प्राणीहरूका शिरको मास्‍तिर विशाल अर्धगोलाकार क्षेत्रजस्‍तै थियो । त्यो तिनीहरूको शिरमाथिबाट फैलिएको भयावह स्फटिकझैं देखिन्थ्यो ।
And above the heads of the living creatures was the likeness of a firmament: similar to crystal, but dreadful to behold, and extending over their heads from 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 their wings were straight under the firmament, one toward the other. One of them was covered by two wings on his body, and the other was covered similarly.
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 I heard the sound of their wings, like the sound of many waters, like the sound of the sublime God. When they walked, it was like the sound of a multitude, like the sound of an army. And when they stood still, their wings were let down.
25 जब तिनीहरू ठिङ्ग उभिए र आफ्‍ना पखेटा तल झारे, तब तिनीहरूका शिरहरू मास्‍तिरको विशाल अर्धगोलाकार क्षेत्रबाट एउटा आवाज आयो ।
For when a voice came from above the firmament, which was over their heads, they stood still, and they put 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, which was suspended over their heads, there was the likeness of a throne, with the appearance of the sapphire stone. And over the likeness of the throne, there was a likeness with the appearance of a man above it.
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 something with the appearance of amber, with the likeness of fire within it and all around it. And from his waist and upward, and from his waist downward, I saw something with the appearance of fire shining all around.
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 ।
There was the appearance of the rainbow, as when it is in a cloud on a rainy day. This was the appearance of the splendor on every side.
