Hisqiʼeel 1
1 Waggaa soddommaffaa keessa, bultii shanaffaa jiʼa afuraffaatti utuu ani Laga Kebaar biratti boojiʼamtoota gidduu jiruu samiiwwan ni banaman; anis mulʼata Waaqaa nan arge.
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 Jiʼa sana keessaas bultii shanaffaatti jechuunis Yehooyaakiin Mootichi boojiʼamee waggaa shanaffaatti,
In the fifth [day] of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin’s captivity,
3 dubbiin Waaqayyoo Laga Kebaar biratti biyya Baabilonotaa keessatti gara Hisqiʼeel lubicha ilma Buuz dhufe. Achittis harki Waaqayyoo isa irra ture.
the word of the LORD came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the LORD was there upon him.
4 Anis milʼadhee bubbee hamaa karaa kaabaatiin dhufaa jiru jechuunis duumessa guddaa balaqqeessa ifuu fi ifa guddaan marfame tokkon arge. Wiirtuun ibidda sanaas sibiila ibiddaan diimeffame fakkaata ture;
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 the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire.
5 ibidda sana keessas waan uumamawwan jiraatoo afur fakkaatu tokkotu ture. Bifti isaas bifa namaa fakkaata ture;
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 tokkoon tokkoon isaanii fuula afur afurii fi qoochoo afur afur qabu turan.
And every one had four faces, and every one of them had four wings.
7 Miilli isaanii qajeelaa dha; faanni isaanii immoo kottee jabbii fakkaatee akka naasii dibameetti ni calaqqisa ture.
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 the colour of burnished brass.
8 Qoochoo isaanii jalaanis qixa afraniin harka namaa qabu ture. Afran isaanii hundi fuulaa fi qoochoo qabu turan;
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 qoochoon isaaniis wal tuqa ture. Tokkoon tokkoon isaanii qajeelanii fuula duratti deeman; yeroo deemanittis of duuba hin milʼatan ture.
their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward.
10 Fuulli isaanii kana fakkaata ture: Afran isaanii iyyuu tokkoon tokkoon isaanii fuula namaa qabu ture; karaa mirgaatiin tokkoon tokkoon isaanii fuula leencaa, karaa bitaatiin immoo fuula qotiyyoo qabu ture; akkasumas tokkoon tokkoon isaanii fuula risaa qabu ture.
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 Egaa fuulli isaanii akkas ture. Qoochoon isaaniis ol diriirfama ture. Tokkoon tokkoon isaanii qoochoo lama lama qabu ture. Qoochoo tokkoo tokkoo isaanii karaa lamaaniinuu qoochoo uumama kaanii tuqa; qoochoon lama immoo dhagna isaa haguuga ture.
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 Tokkoon tokkoon isaanii qajeelanii fuula duratti ni deeman. Isaanis utuu of irra hin milʼatin iddoo hafuurri deemu hunda dhaqu turan.
And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; they turned not when they went.
13 Bifti uumamawwan jiraatoo sanaa cilee ibiddaa kan bobaʼu yookaan guca bobaʼu fakkaata ture. Uumamawwan sana gidduus ibiddi asii fi achi sosochoʼa ture; ni ifas ture; bakakkaanis isa keessaa ni baʼa ture.
As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches; it went up and down among the living creatures: and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.
14 Uumamawwan sunis akka ifa bakakkaa asii fi achi darbatamu ture.
And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.
15 Anis akkuman uumamawwan jiraatoo sana ilaaleen tokkoo tokkoo uumama fuula afur afur qabu sanaa cinatti geengoo tokko tokko nan arge.
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 Biftii fi haalli geengoowwan sun ittiin hojjetamaniis akkana ture: Isaanis akka dhagaa gati jabeessa biiralee jedhamuu calaqqisu ture; afran isaanii hundinuu wal fakkaatu ture. Tokkoon tokkoon geengoo sanaa waan geengoo kaanitti diramee hojjetame fakkaata ture.
The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel within a wheel.
17 Isaanis yommuu deemanitti utuu of irra hin milʼatin kallattii afran kamiin iyyuu deeman; yommuu uumamawwan sun deemanis geengoowwan kallattii hin geeddaratan ture.
When they went, they went upon their four sides: they turned not when they went.
18 Qarqarri geengoowwan sanaas ol dheeraa fi sodaachisaa ture; qarqarri geengoowwanii afranuus guutumaan guutuutti ijaan marfamanii turan.
As for their rings, they were high and dreadful; and they four had their rings full of eyes round about.
19 Yeroo uumamawwan jiraatoon sun deemanitti geengoowwan isaan cinaan jiranis ni deeman; yommuu uumamawwan jiraatoon ol kaʼanitti geengoowwanis ol kaʼan.
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 Iddoo hafuurri dhaqu hundas ni dhaqu ture; sababii hafuurri uumamawwan jiraatoo sanaa geengoowwan keessa jiruuf geengoowwanis isaan wajjin ol kaʼan.
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 Yommuu uumamawwan sun deemanitti isaanis ni deeman; yommuu uumamawwan dhaabatanitti isaanis ni dhaabatan; sababii hafuurri uumamawwan jiraatoo sanaa geengoowwan keessa jiruuf yommuu uumamawwan sun lafaa ol kaʼanitti geengoowwanis isaanuma wajjin ol kaʼan.
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 Mataa uumamawwan jiraatoo sanaatiin ol waan akka bantii samii kan akka bilillee calaqqisuu fi kan nama sodaachisu tokkotu diriirfamee ture.
And over the head of the living creature there was the likeness of a firmament, like the colour of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above.
23 Bantii samii sana jalatti qoochoowwan isaaniis walitti diriirfamanii turan; tokkoon tokkoon isaaniis qoochoowwan ittiin dhagna isaanii haguuggatan lama lama qabu turan.
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 Yeroo uumamawwan sun deemanitti ani sagalee qoochoowwan isaanii nan dhagaʼe; sagaleen kunis sagalee akka bishaan guutee huursuu, akka sagalee Waaqa Waan Hunda Dandaʼuutii fi akka waca tuuta loltootaa ture. Isaan yeroo dhaabatan qoochoowwan isaanii gad qabatu ture.
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 an host: when they stood, they let down their wings.
25 Akkuma isaan qoochoo isaanii gad qabatanii dhaabataniinis bantii samii kan mataa isaaniitiin ol jiru sana irraa sagaleen tokko dhufe.
And there was a voice above the firmament that was over their heads: when they stood, they let down their wings.
26 Bantii samii kan mataa isaaniitii ol jiru gubbaa waan akka teessoo sanpeer fakkaatu tokkotu ture; teessoo sanaa olittis fakkaattii akka fakkaattii namaa tokkotu ture.
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 Anis waan mudhii isaa fakkaatuun olitti sibiila diimeffamee ibidda fakkaatu kan ibiddaan guutame tokko nan arge; waan mudhii isaa fakkaatu sanaan gadittis inni ibidda fakkaata ture; ifni guddaanis isa marsee ture.
And I saw as the colour of amber, 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 Gonfoon ifaa kan naannoo isaa ture sunis bifa sabbata Waaqaa kan guyyaa roobni roobuu fakkaata ture. Kunis bifa fakkaattii ulfina Waaqayyoo ture. Anis yeroon waan kana argetti addaan lafatti gombifamee sagalee waan dubbachaa jiru tokkoo nan dhagaʼe.
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 the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.
