Ezequiel 1
1 E aconteceu que aos trinta anos, no quarto mes, no dia quinto do mes, estando eu no meio dos cativos, junto ao rio Chebar, se abriram os céus, e eu vi visões de Deus.
And it happened that, in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth of the month, when I was in the midst of the captives beside the river Chebar, the heavens were opened, and I saw the visions of God.
2 No quinto dia do mês (que foi no quinto ano do cativeiro do rei Joachim),
On the fifth of the month, the same is the fifth year of the transmigration of king Joachin,
3 Veio expressamente a palavra do Senhor a Ezequiel, filho de Buzi, o sacerdote, na terra dos caldeus, junto ao rio de Chebar, e ali esteve sobre ele a mão do Senhor.
the word of the Lord came to Ezekiel, a priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans, next to the river Chebar. And the hand of the Lord was over him there.
4 Então vi, e eis que um vento tempestuoso vinha do norte, uma grande nuvem, e um fogo revolvendo-se nela, e um resplandor ao redor dela, e no meio dela havia uma coisa como de cor de âmbar, que saía do meio do fogo.
And I saw, and behold, a whirlwind arrived from the north. And a great cloud, wrapped in fire and brightness, was all around it. And from its midst, that is, from the midst of the fire, there was something with the appearance of amber.
5 E do meio dela saía a semelhança de quatro animais; e esta era a sua aparência: Tinham a semelhança de homens.
And in its midst, there was the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: the likeness of a man was in them.
6 E cada um tinha quatro rostos, como também cada um deles quatro asas.
Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings.
7 E os seus pés eram pés direitos; e as plantas dos seus pés como a planta do pé de uma bezerra, e luziam como a cor de cobre abrazado.
Their feet were straight feet, and the sole of their foot was like the sole of the foot of a calf, and they sparkled with the appearance of glowing brass.
8 E tinham mãos de homem debaixo das suas asas, aos quatro lados; e assim todos quatro tinham seus rostos e suas asas.
And they had the hands of a man under their wings on the four sides. And they had faces with the wings on the four sides.
9 Uniam-se as suas asas uma à outra: não se viravam quando iam, e cada qual andava diante do seu rosto.
And their wings were joined to one another. They did not turn as they went. Instead, each one advanced before his face.
10 E a semelhança dos seus rostos era como o rosto de homem; e à mão direita todos os quatro tinham rosto de leão, e à mão esquerda todos os quatro tinham rosto de boi; e rosto de águia todos os quatro.
But as for the likeness of their face, there was the face of a man, and the face of a lion on the right of each of the four, then the face of an ox on the left of each of the four, and the face of an eagle above each of the four.
11 E os seus rostos e as suas asas estavam divididas por cima: cada qual tinha duas asas juntas uma à outra, e duas cobriam os corpos deles.
Their faces and their wings were extended above: two wings of each one were joined together, and two covered their bodies.
12 E cada qual andava diante do seu rosto; para onde o espírito havia de ir, iam; não se viravam quando andavam.
And each one of them advanced before his face. Wherever the impetus of the spirit was to go, there they went. And they did not turn as they advanced.
13 E, quanto à semelhança dos animais, o seu parecer era como de brazas de fogo ardentes, como uma aparência da alâmpadas: o fogo corria por entre os animais, e o fogo resplandecia, e do fogo saiam relâmpagos;
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 dashing in the midst of the living creatures, a bright fire, with lightning going forth from the fire.
14 E os animais corriam, e tornavam, à semelhança dos relâmpagos.
And the living creatures went and returned like flashes of lightning.
15 E vi os animais: e eis aqui uma roda na terra junto aos animais, para cada um dos seus quatro rostos.
And as I beheld the living creatures, there appeared above the earth, next to the living creatures, one wheel having four faces.
16 O aspecto das rodas, e a obra delas, era como cor de turqueza; e as quatro tinham uma mesma semelhança: 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 their work was like the appearance of the sea. And each of the four were similar to one another. And their appearance and work was like a wheel in the center of a wheel.
17 Andando elas, andavam pelos quatro lados deles; não se viravam quando andavam.
Going forth, they went by means of their four parts. And they did not turn as they went.
18 E as suas costas eram tão altas, que metiam medo; e estas quatro tinham as suas costas cheias de olhos ao redor.
Also, the size and height and appearance of the wheels was dreadful. And the entire body was full of eyes all around each of the four.
19 E, andando os animais, andavam as rodas ao pé deles; e, elevando-se os animais da terra, elevavam-se também as rodas.
And when the living creatures advanced, the wheels advanced together with them. And when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels, too, were lifted up at the same time.
20 Para onde o espírito havia de ir, iam; para lá havia o espírito de ir; e as rodas se elevavam defronte deles, porque o espírito de vida estava nas rodas.
Wherever the spirit went, as the spirit was going forth to that place, the wheels, too, were lifted up together, so as to follow them. For the spirit of life was in the wheels.
21 Andando eles, andavam elas, e, parando eles, paravam elas, e, elevando-se eles da terra, elevavam-se também as rodas defronte deles; porque o espírito dos animais estava nas rodas.
When going forth, they went forth, and when standing still, they stood still. And when they were lifted up from the earth, the wheels, too, were lifted up together, so as to follow them. For the spirit of life was in the wheels.
22 E sobre as cabeças dos animais havia uma semelhança de firmamento, como um aspecto de cristal terrível, estendido por cima, sobre as suas cabeças.
And above the heads of the living creatures was the likeness of a firmament: similar to crystal, but dreadful to behold, and extending over their heads from above.
23 E debaixo do firmamento estavam as suas asas 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 their wings were straight under the firmament, one toward the other. One of them was covered by two wings on his body, and the other was covered similarly.
24 E, andando eles, ouvi o ruído das suas asas, com o ruído de muitas águas, como a voz do onipotente, a voz dum estrondo, como o estrépito de um exército: parando eles, abaixavam as suas asas.
And I heard the sound of their wings, like the sound of many waters, like the sound of the sublime God. When they walked, it was like the sound of a multitude, like the sound of an army. And when they stood still, their wings were let down.
25 E ouviu-se uma voz por cima do firmamento, que ficava por cima das suas cabeças: parando eles, abaixavam as suas asas.
For when a voice came from above the firmament, which was over their heads, they stood still, and they put down their wings.
26 E por cima do firmamento, que ficava por cima das suas cabeças, havia uma semelhança de trono, como de uma safira; e sobre a semelhança do trono uma semelhança ao aspecto dum homem, que estava por cima, sobre ele.
And above the firmament, which was suspended over their heads, there was the likeness of a throne, with the appearance of the sapphire stone. And over the likeness of the throne, there was a likeness with the appearance of a man above it.
27 E vi como a cor de âmbar, como o aspecto do fogo pelo interior dele, desde o aspecto dos seus lombos, e daí para cima; e, desde o aspecto dos seus lombos e daí para baixo, vi como a semelhança do fogo, e um resplandor ao redor dele.
And I saw something with the appearance of amber, with the likeness of fire within it and all around it. And from his waist and upward, and from his waist downward, I saw something with the appearance of fire shining all around.
28 Como o aspecto do arco que aparece na nuvem no dia da chuva, assim era o aspecto do resplandor em redor: este era o aspecto da semelhança da glória do Senhor: e, vendo-a eu, caí sobre o meu rosto, e ouvi a voz de quem falava.
There was the appearance of the rainbow, as when it is in a cloud on a rainy day. This was the appearance of the splendor on every side.
