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.
And it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I was in the midst of the exiles by the river Kebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw divine visions.
2 No quinto dia do mez (que foi no quinto anno do captiveiro do rei Joachim),
On the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of the exile of king Jehoyachin,
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.
Came the word of the Lord expressly unto Ezekiel the son of Buzi, the priest, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Kebar; and there came upon him there the inspiration of the Lord.
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 storm-wind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a flaming fire, and a brightness was on it round about; and out of the midst of it was like the glitter of amber, out of the midst of the fire.
5 E do meio d'ella sahia a similhança de quatro animaes; e esta era a sua apparencia: Tinham a similhança de homens.
And out of the midst thereof [I saw] the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: They had the likeness of a man.
6 E cada um tinha quatro rostos, como tambem cada um d'elles quatro azas.
And every one had four faces, and every one of them had 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.
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 glitter of burnished copper.
8 E tinham mãos de homem debaixo das suas azas, aos quatro lados; e assim todos quatro tinham seus rostos e suas azas.
And hands of man [were visible] from beneath their wings on their four sides: and their faces and their wings [were alike] on all these four.
9 Uniam-se as suas azas uma á outra: não se viravam quando iam, e cada qual andava diante do seu rosto.
Their wings were joined one to the other: they turned not about in their going; they went every one in the direction of one of their faces.
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 the likeness of their faces was the face of a man; and the face of a lion, on the right side for all four of them; and the face of an ox on the left side for all four of them; and the face of an eagle for all four of them.
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.
Thus were their faces: and their wings were spread out upward; every one had two joined one to another, 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 they went every one in the direction of one of his faces: whither the spirit was directed to go, they went; they turned not about in their going.
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;
As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like coals of fire, burning as with the appearance of torches; this [fire] it was which passed along between the living creatures: and a brightness was about the fire, and out of the fire went forth lightning.
14 E os animaes corriam, e tornavam, á similhança dos relampagos.
And the living creatures ran backward and forward like the appearance of a flash of lightning.
15 E vi os animaes: e eis aqui uma roda na terra junto aos animaes, para cada um dos seus quatro rostos.
And I looked on the living creatures, and, behold, there was one wheel upon the earth close by the living creatures, by their four front 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.
The appearance of the wheels and their work was like the color of a chrysolite; and all four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as though it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel.
17 Andando ellas, andavam pelos quatro lados d'elles; não se viravam quando andavam.
Toward their four sides they went in their going: they turned not round in their going.
18 E as suas costas eram tão altas, que mettiam medo; e estas quatro tinham as suas costas cheias de olhos ao redor.
As for their circumferences, they were so high that they excited fear: and their felloes were full of eyes round about on all these 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 went near to them: and when the living creatures lifted themselves up from the earth, the wheels lifted themselves up.
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 was to go, they went; [for] thither was [their] spirit to go: and the wheels lifted themselves up at the same time with them; for the spirit of the living creatures 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 lifted themselves up from the earth, the wheels lifted themselves up at the same time with them; for the spirit of the living creatures 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 the likeness of a vault was over the head of the living creatures, [shining] like the glitter of the purest crystal, stretched forth 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 vault their wings were straight, the one toward the other: every one had two, which covered them, and every one had two, which covered them, —[namely, ] their bodies.
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 sound of their wings, like the sound of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, when they went, the sound of [their] speech, as the noise of an army: when they stood still, they let down their wings.
25 E ouviu-se uma voz por cima do firmamento, que ficava por cima das suas cabeças: parando elles, abaixavam as suas azas.
And there was a voice from the vault that was over their head: when they stood still, they 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 vault that was over their head was like the appearance of a sapphire-stone, the likeness of a throne: and upon the likeness of the throne was a likeness as 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 if it were the glitter of amber, as the appearance of fire within it round about, from the appearance of his loins upward; and from the appearance of his loins downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness 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.
Like the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud on 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 the voice of one that spoke.
