Ezequiel 1
1 E aconteceu que aos trinta annos, no quarto mez, no dia quinto do mez, estando eu no meio dos captivos, junto ao rio Chebar, se abriram os céus, e eu vi visões de Deus.
Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, when I was in the midst of the captives by the river Chobar, the heavens were opened, and I saw the visions of God.
2 No quinto dia do mez (que foi no quinto anno do captiveiro do rei Joachim),
On the fifth day of the month, the same was the fifth year of the captivity of king Joachin,
3 Veiu expressamente a palavra do Senhor a Ezequiel, filho de Buzi, o sacerdote, na terra dos chaldeos, junto ao rio de Chebar, e ali esteve sobre elle a mão do Senhor.
The word of the Lord came to Ezechiel the priest the son of Bud in the land of the Chaldeans, by the river Chobar: and the hand of the Lord was there upon him.
4 Então vi, e eis que um vento tempestuoso vinha do norte, uma grande nuvem, e um fogo revolvendo-se n'ella, e um resplandor ao redor d'ella, e no meio d'ella havia uma coisa como de côr de ambar, que sahia do meio do fogo.
And I saw, and behold a whirlwind came out of the north: and a great cloud, and a fire infolding it, and brightness was about it: and out of the midst thereof, that is, out of the midst of the fire, as it were the resemblance of amber:
5 E do meio d'ella sahia a similhança de quatro animaes; e esta era a sua apparencia: Tinham a similhança de homens.
And in the midst thereof the likeness of four living creatures: and this was their appearance: there was the likeness of a man in them.
6 E cada um tinha quatro rostos, como tambem cada um d'elles quatro azas.
Every one had four faces, and every one four wings.
7 E os seus pés eram pés direitos; e as plantas dos seus pés como a planta do pé d'uma bezerra, e luziam como a côr de cobre abrazado.
Their feet were straight feet, and the sole of their foot was like the sole of a calf’s foot, and they sparkled like the appearance of glowing brass.
8 E tinham mãos de homem debaixo das suas azas, aos quatro lados; e assim todos quatro tinham seus rostos e suas azas.
And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides: and they bad faces, and wings on the four sides,
9 Uniam-se as suas azas uma á outra: não se viravam quando iam, e cada qual andava diante do seu rosto.
And the wings of one were joined to the wings of another. They turned not when they went: but every one went straight forward.
10 E a similhança dos seus rostos era como o rosto de homem; e á mão direita todos os quatro tinham rosto de leão, e á mão esquerda todos os quatro tinham rosto de boi; e rosto de aguia todos os quatro.
And as for the likeness of their faces: there was the face of a man, and the face of a lion on the right side of all the four: and the face of an ox, on the left side of all the four: and the face of an eagle over all the four.
11 E os seus rostos e as suas azas estavam divididas por cima: cada qual tinha duas azas juntas uma á outra, e duas cobriam os corpos d'elles.
And their faces, and their wings were stretched upward: two wings of every one were joined, and two covered their bodies:
12 E cada qual andava diante do seu rosto; para onde o espirito havia de ir, iam; não se viravam quando andavam.
And every one of them went straight forward: whither the impulse of the spirit was to go, thither they went: and they turned not when they went.
13 E, quanto á similhança dos animaes, o seu parecer era como de brazas de fogo ardentes, como uma apparencia d'alampadas: o fogo corria por entre os animaes, e o fogo resplandecia, e do fogo sahiam relampagos;
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 running to and fro in the midst of the living creatures, a bright fire, and lightning going forth from the fire.
14 E os animaes corriam, e tornavam, á similhança dos relampagos.
And the living creatures ran and returned like flashes of lightning.
15 E vi os animaes: e eis aqui uma roda na terra junto aos animaes, para cada um dos seus quatro rostos.
Now as I beheld the living creatures, there appeared upon the earth by the living creatures one wheel with four faces.
16 O aspecto das rodas, e a obra d'ellas, era como côr de turqueza; e as quatro tinham uma mesma similhança: e o seu aspecto, e a sua obra, era como se estivera uma roda no meio de outra roda.
And the appearance of the wheels, and the work of them was like the appearance of the sea: and the four had all one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the midst of a wheel.
17 Andando ellas, andavam pelos quatro lados d'elles; não se viravam quando andavam.
When they went, they went by their four parts: and they turned not when they went.
18 E as suas costas eram tão altas, que mettiam medo; e estas quatro tinham as suas costas cheias de olhos ao redor.
The wheels had also a size, and a height, and a dreadful appearance: and the whole body was full of eyes round about all the four.
19 E, andando os animaes, andavam as rodas ao pé d'elles; e, elevando-se os animaes da terra, elevavam-se tambem as rodas.
And when the living creatures went, the wheels also went together by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels also were lifted up with them.
20 Para onde o espirito havia de ir, iam; para lá havia o espirito de ir; e as rodas se elevavam defronte d'elles, porque o espirito de vida estava nas rodas.
Whithersoever the spirit went, thither as the spirit went the wheels also were lifted up withal, and followed it: for the spirit of life was in the wheels.
21 Andando elles, andavam ellas, e, parando elles, paravam ellas, e, elevando-se elles da terra, elevavam-se tambem as rodas defronte d'elles; porque o espirito dos animaes estava nas rodas.
When those went these went, and when those stood these stood, and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels also were lifted up together, and followed them: for the spirit of life was in the wheels.
22 E sobre as cabeças dos animaes havia uma similhança de firmamento, como um aspecto de crystal terrivel, estendido por cima, sobre as suas cabeças.
And over the heads of the living creatures was the likeness of the firmament, as the appearance of crystal terrible to behold, and stretched out over their heads above.
23 E debaixo do firmamento estavam as suas azas direitas uma para a outra: cada um tinha duas, que lhe cobriam o corpo de uma banda; e cada um tinha outras duas, que os cobriam da outra banda.
And under the firmament were their wings straight, the one toward the other, every one with two wings covered his body, and the other was covered in like manner.
24 E, andando elles, ouvi o ruido das suas azas, com o ruido de muitas aguas, como a voz do Omnipotente, a voz d'um estrondo, como o estrepito de um exercito: parando elles, abaixavam as suas azas.
And I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of many waters, as it were the voice of the most high God: when they walked, it was like the voice of a multitude, like the noise of an army, and when they stood, their wings were let down.
25 E ouviu-se uma voz por cima do firmamento, que ficava por cima das suas cabeças: parando elles, abaixavam as suas azas.
For when a voice came from above the firmament, that was over their heads, they stood, and let down their wings.
26 E por cima do firmamento, que ficava por cima das suas cabeças, havia uma similhança de throno, como d'uma saphira; e sobre a similhança do throno uma similhança ao aspecto d'um homem, que estava por cima, sobre elle.
And above the firmament that was over their heads, was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of the sapphire stone, and upon the likeness of the throne, was a likeness as of the appearance of a man above upon it.
27 E vi como a côr de ambar, como o aspecto do fogo pelo interior d'elle, desde o aspecto dos seus lombos, e d'ahi para cima; e, desde o aspecto dos seus lombos e d'ahi para baixo, vi como a similhança do fogo, e um resplandor ao redor d'elle.
And I saw as it were the resemblance of amber as the appearance of fire within it round about: from his loins and upward, and from his loins downward, I saw as it were the resemblance of fire shining round about.
28 Como o aspecto do arco que apparece na nuvem no dia da chuva, assim era o aspecto do resplandor em redor: este era o aspecto da similhança da gloria do Senhor: e, vendo-a eu, cahi sobre o meu rosto, e ouvi a voz de quem fallava.
As the appearance of the rainbow when it is in a cloud on a rainy day: this was the appearance of the brightness round about.
