حِزِقیال 1
| در روز پنجمِ ماه چهارم از سال سی‌ام، وقتی من با تبعیدیان یهودی در کنار رود کِبار در بابِل بودم، آسمان گشوده شد و من رؤیاهای خدا را دیدم. | 1 |
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 of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
| این اتفاق در سال پنجم اسارت یهویاکین پادشاه به وقوع پیوست. | 2 |
In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity,
| (خداوند این پیام را در کنار رود کِبار در سرزمین بابِلیان به حزقیال کاهن، پسر بوزی، داد؛ و دست خداوند در آنجا بر او بود.) | 3 |
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.
| در یکی از این رؤیاها، طوفانی دیدم که از شمال به طرف من می‌آمد. پیشاپیش آن، ابر بزرگی از آتش در حرکت بود، هاله‌ای از نور دور آن بود و در درون آن، چیزی مانند فلزی براق، می‌درخشید. | 4 |
And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire setting itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire.
| سپس، از میان ابر، چهار موجود زنده ظاهر شدند که شبیه انسان بودند. | 5 |
Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man.
| ولی هر یک، چهار صورت و دو جفت بال داشتند! | 6 |
And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings.
| پاهایشان راست و کف پایشان به سم گوساله شباهت داشت و مانند فلزی براق، می‌درخشید. | 7 |
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.
| زیر هر یک از چهار بالشان، دستهایی می‌دیدم مثل دست انسان. پس هر یک از چهار موجود زنده چهار صورت و چهار بال داشت. | 8 |
And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings.
| انتهای بالهای آن چهار موجود زنده به همدیگر وصل بود. آنها مستقیم حرکت می‌کردند بدون آنکه برگردند. | 9 |
Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward.
| هر یک از آنها چهار صورت داشت: در جلو، صورت انسان؛ در طرف راست، صورت شیر؛ در طرف چپ، صورت گاو و در پشت، صورت عقاب. | 10 |
As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle.
| هر کدام دو جفت بال داشتند، که یک جفت باز بود و به نوک بالهای موجودات پهلویی می‌رسید و جفت دیگر، بدنشان را می‌پوشاند. | 11 |
Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.
| هر یک از این موجودات زنده رو به چهار طرف داشت، پس گروهشان می‌توانست هرجا بخواهد برود، بدون آنکه رویشان را برگرداند. | 12 |
And they went every one straight forward: where the spirit was to go, they went; and they turned not when they went.
| در میان این موجودات زنده، چیزهایی شبیه به زغال افروخته با مشعل روشن، در حال حرکت بودند. از میان آنها، برق می‌جهید. | 13 |
As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.
| آن موجودات زنده نیز به سرعت برق به عقب و جلو حرکت می‌کردند. | 14 |
And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.
| در همان حال که به این چهار موجود زنده خیره شده بودم، زیر آنها و بر روی زمین، چهار چرخ دیدم زیر هر موجود یک چرخ. | 15 |
Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces.
| چرخها مانند زبرجد می‌درخشیدند و همه مثل هم بودند. داخل هر چرخ، چرخ دیگری نیز قرار داشت. | 16 |
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 in the middle of a wheel.
| برای همین می‌توانستند بی‌آنکه مجبور باشند دور بزنند، به هر سو که بخواهند، بروند. | 17 |
When they went, they went upon their four sides: and they turned not when they went.
| آن چهار چرخ دارای لبه‌ها و پره‌هایی بودند و دور لبه‌ها پر از چشم بود. | 18 |
As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round about them four.
| وقتی آن موجودات زنده حرکت می‌کردند، چرخها هم با آنها حرکت می‌کردند. هنگامی که آنها از زمین برمی‌خاستند، چرخها نیز برمی‌خاستند، و وقتی می‌ایستادند، چرخها هم می‌ایستادند، چون روح آن چهار موجود در چرخها نیز قرار داشت. پس موجودات زنده و چرخها تحت هدایت روحشان بودند. | 19 |
And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.
| 20 |
Anywhere the spirit was to go, they went, thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up opposite to them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
| 21 |
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 opposite to them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
| بالای سر موجودات زنده، چیزی شبیه به یک صفحهٔ بزرگ گسترده شده بود که مانند بلور می‌درخشید و انسان را به هراس می‌انداخت. | 22 |
And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as the colour of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above.
| زیر این صفحه، دو بال هر موجود زنده طوری باز بود که به بالهای موجود دیگر می‌رسید، و دو بال دیگر، بدنشان را می‌پوشانید. | 23 |
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.
| وقتی پرواز می‌کردند، صدای بالهایشان مانند غرش امواج ساحل یا همچون صدای خدای قادرمطلق و یا همانند غوغای لشکر بزرگ بود. وقتی می‌ایستادند، بالهایشان را پایین می‌آوردند. | 24 |
And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of an host: when they stood, they let down their wings.
| هر بار که بالهایشان را پایین می‌آوردند و می‌ایستادند، از صفحهٔ بلورین بالای سر آنها صدایی به گوش می‌رسید. | 25 |
And there was a voice from the firmament that was over their heads, when they stood, and had let down their wings.
| بر فراز صفحهٔ بالای سرشان، چیزی شبیه به یک تخت سلطنتی زیبا قرار داشت که گویی از یاقوت کبود ساخته شده بود و بر روی آن تخت، وجودی نشسته بود که به یک انسان شباهت داشت. | 26 |
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 the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it.
| از کمر به بالا همچون فلزی بَرّاق می‌درخشید، و از کمر به پایین، مانند شعله‌های آتش، تابان بود. دورتادورش را نیز نوری درخشان فرا گرفته بود | 27 |
And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about.
| که همهٔ رنگهای رنگین‌کمان که در روز بارانی در ابر پدیدار می‌شود، در آن دیده می‌شد. حضور پرجلال خداوند بدین‌گونه بر من ظاهر شد. هنگامی که آن منظره را دیدم، به خاک افتادم. آنگاه صدای کسی را شنیدم که با من سخن می‌گفت. | 28 |
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 spoke.
