< 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.
And it comes to pass, in the thirtieth year, in the fourth [month], on the fifth of the month, and I [am] in the midst of the expulsion by the river Chebar, the heavens have been opened, and I see visions of God.
2 Jiʼa sana keessaas bultii shanaffaatti jechuunis Yehooyaakiin Mootichi boojiʼamee waggaa shanaffaatti,
In the fifth of the month—it is the fifth year of the expulsion of King Jehoiachin—
3 dubbiin Waaqayyoo Laga Kebaar biratti biyya Baabilonotaa keessatti gara Hisqiʼeel lubicha ilma Buuz dhufe. Achittis harki Waaqayyoo isa irra ture.
the word of YHWH has certainly been to Ezekiel son of Buzi the priest, in the land of the Chaldeans, by the river Chebar, and there is on him there a hand of YHWH.
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 look, and behold, a turbulent wind is coming from the north, a great cloud, and fire catching itself, and brightness to it all around, and out of its midst as the color of electrum, 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 its midst [is] a likeness of four living creatures, and this [is] their appearance; a likeness of man [is] to them,
6 tokkoon tokkoon isaanii fuula afur afurii fi qoochoo afur afur qabu turan.
and each had four faces and each 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 [are] straight feet, and the sole of their feet [is] as a sole of a calf’s foot, and they are sparkling as the color of bright bronze;
8 Qoochoo isaanii jalaanis qixa afraniin harka namaa qabu ture. Afran isaanii hundi fuulaa fi qoochoo qabu turan;
and on their four sides [each had] hands of man under their wings; and [each] of the four had their faces and their wings;
9 qoochoon isaaniis wal tuqa ture. Tokkoon tokkoon isaanii qajeelanii fuula duratti deeman; yeroo deemanittis of duuba hin milʼatan ture.
their wings [are] joining to one another, they do not turn around in their going, they each go 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, [each had] the face of a man, and toward the right the four had the face of a lion, and on the left the four had the face of an ox, and the four had 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 dividing from above, of each [are] two joining together, and two are covering 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 each go straight forward, to where the Spirit is to go, they go, they do not turn around in their going.
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 appearances [are] as coals of fire—burning as the appearance of lamps; it is going up and down between the living creatures, and brightness [is] to the fire, and lightning is going forth out of the fire.
14 Uumamawwan sunis akka ifa bakakkaa asii fi achi darbatamu ture.
And the living creatures are running, and turning back, as the appearance of the flash.
15 Anis akkuman uumamawwan jiraatoo sana ilaaleen tokkoo tokkoo uumama fuula afur afur qabu sanaa cinatti geengoo tokko tokko nan arge.
And I see the living creatures, and behold, one wheel [is] in the earth, near the living creatures, at its four faces.
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 works [is] as the color of beryl, and the four of them had one likeness, and their appearances and their works [are] as it were the wheel in the midst of the wheel.
17 Isaanis yommuu deemanitti utuu of irra hin milʼatin kallattii afran kamiin iyyuu deeman; yommuu uumamawwan sun deemanis geengoowwan kallattii hin geeddaratan ture.
On their four sides, in their going they go, they do not turn around in their going.
18 Qarqarri geengoowwan sanaas ol dheeraa fi sodaachisaa ture; qarqarri geengoowwanii afranuus guutumaan guutuutti ijaan marfamanii turan.
As for their rings, they are both high and fearful, and their rings, of the four of them, [are] full of eyes around them.
19 Yeroo uumamawwan jiraatoon sun deemanitti geengoowwan isaan cinaan jiranis ni deeman; yommuu uumamawwan jiraatoon ol kaʼanitti geengoowwanis ol kaʼan.
And in the going of the living creatures, the wheels go beside them, and in the living creatures being lifted up from off the earth, the wheels are lifted up.
20 Iddoo hafuurri dhaqu hundas ni dhaqu ture; sababii hafuurri uumamawwan jiraatoo sanaa geengoowwan keessa jiruuf geengoowwanis isaan wajjin ol kaʼan.
To where the Spirit is to go, they go, there the Spirit [is] to go, and the wheels are lifted up alongside them, for a living spirit [is] 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.
In their going, they go; and in their standing, they stand; and in their being lifted up from off the earth, the wheels are lifted up alongside them; for a living spirit [is] 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 heads of the living creatures—a likeness of an expanse, as the color of the fearful ice, stretched out over their heads from 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 expanse their wings [are] straight, one toward [its] sister; two [wings] of each are covering them, and two [wings] of each are covering 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 I hear the noise of their wings, as the noise of many waters, as the noise of the Mighty One, in their going—the noise of tumult, as the noise of a camp, in their standing they let their wings fall.
25 Akkuma isaan qoochoo isaanii gad qabatanii dhaabataniinis bantii samii kan mataa isaaniitiin ol jiru sana irraa sagaleen tokko dhufe.
And there is a voice from above the expanse, that [is] above their head: in their standing they let their wings fall.
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 expanse that [is] over their head, as an appearance of a sapphire stone, [is] the likeness of a throne, and on the likeness of the throne a likeness, as the appearance of man on it from 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 see as the color of electrum, as the appearance of fire all around within it, from the appearance of His loins and upward; and from the appearance of His loins and downward, I have seen as the appearance of fire, and brightness [is] all around 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 a cloud in a day of rain, so [is] the appearance of the brightness all around.
