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.
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 Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
2 No quinto dia do mês (que foi no quinto ano do cativeiro do rei Joachim),
On the fifth day of the month, in the fifth year of the captivity of King Jehoiachin,
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 Jehovah came to Ezekiel, the son of Buzi, the priest, in the land of the Chaldaeans, by the river Chebar; and the hand of Jehovah was there upon him.
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 looked, and behold, a stormy wind came from the north, a great cloud, and a mass of fire; and a brightness was round about it, and in the midst of it the appearance of bright brass, in the midst of the fire.
5 E do meio dela saía a semelhança de quatro animais; e esta era a sua aparência: Tinham a semelhança de homens.
And in the midst of it were the forms of four living creatures. And this was their appearance. They had the form of a man.
6 E cada um tinha quatro rostos, como também cada um deles quatro asas.
And every one had four faces, and every 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.
And their feet were upright; and the sole of their feet was as the sole of a calf's foot; and they sparkled like polished 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 their four sides, and all four had faces and wings.
9 Uniam-se as suas asas uma à outra: não se viravam quando iam, e cada qual andava diante do seu rosto.
Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not about when they went; they went every one straight forward.
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.
As for the form of their faces, all four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion on the right side, and all four had the face of an ox on the left side, and all four had also the face of an eagle.
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.
Thus were their faces. And their wings were expanded 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 espírito havia de ir, iam; não se viravam quando andavam.
And they went every one straight forward; whither the spirit was to go, they went, and they turned not about when they went.
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 the appearance of the living creatures was as coals of fire, burning like torches; and the fire moved about among the living creatures, and shone forth brightly; and out of the fire came forth lightning.
14 E os animais corriam, e tornavam, à semelhança dos relâmpagos.
And the living creatures ran backward and forward like a flash of lightning.
15 E vi os animais: e eis aqui uma roda na terra junto aos animais, para cada um dos seus quatro rostos.
Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold, there stood a wheel upon the earth by each of the living creatures, with its four sides.
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.
The appearance of the wheels, and their work, was like that of a chrysolite, and all four had one form, and their appearance and their work was as if a wheel had been within a wheel.
17 Andando elas, andavam pelos quatro lados deles; não se viravam quando andavam.
When they went, they went upon their four sides, and they turned not about when 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.
As for their felloes, they were high and terrible; and their felloes were full of eyes round about upon all four of them.
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 went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.
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.
Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, whithersoever the spirit was to go; and the wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of the living creatures 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 those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of the living creatures 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 over the heads of the living creatures was the appearance of a firmament, like crystal, terrible, spread out over their heads 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 under the firmament were their wings upright, the one toward the other; and every one had two, which covered his body.
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, as the sound of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, when they went, —a sound like the noise of a host. And 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 eles, abaixavam as suas asas.
And there was a voice from the firmament, that was over their heads; and they stood still, and let 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 over their heads was an appearance like a sapphire-stone, the form of a throne; and upon the form of the throne there was a form like that of a man above.
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 what had the appearance of bright brass, what had the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins and upward. And from the appearance of his loins downward I saw what had the appearance of fire, and its brightness was round about him.
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.
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 glory of Jehovah. And when I saw it I fell upon my face, and I heard the voice of one who spoke.
