Књига пророка Језекиља 1
1 Године тридесете, месеца четвртог, петог дана, кад бејах међу робљем на реци Хевару, отворише се небеса, и видех утваре Божје.
And it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month on the fifth day of the month I being in the midst of them of the captivity, by the river Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
2 Петог дана тог месеца, пете године од како се зароби цар Јоахин,
On the fifth of the month, that was the fifth year of the captivity of King Jehoiachin,
3 Дође реч Господња Језекиљу сину Вузијевом, свештенику, у земљи халдејској на реци Хевару, и онде дође рука Господња нада њ.
in very deed came the word of Yahweh unto Ezekiel son of Buzi the priest in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar, —yea the hand of Yahweh, came on him there.
4 И видех, и гле, силан ветар долажаше од севера, и велик облак и огањ који се разгореваше, и око њега светлост, а исред огња као јака светлост;
So then I beheld and lo! a tempestuous wind coming out of the North, a great cloud and a fire catching hold of itself, and it had a brightness round about, —and out of the midst thereof, as burnished copper to look upon out of the midst of the fire;
5 Исред њега још као четири животиње, које на очи беху налик на човека;
and out of the midst thereof, a likeness of four living ones, and this was their appearance, the likeness of a man, had they;
6 И у сваке беху четири лица, и четири крила у сваке;
and four faces each, and four wings each, had they;
7 И ноге им беху праве, а у стопалу беху им ноге као у телета; и севаху као углађена бронза.
and their feet were straight feet, —and the sole of their feet was like the sole of the foot of a calf, but sparkling, as shining bronze to look upon;
8 И руке им беху човечје под крилима над четири стране, и лица им и крила беху на четири стране.
and the hands of a man! were under their wings, on their four sides, —and their faces and their wings belonged to the four of them:
9 Састављена им беху крила једно с другим; и не окретаху се идући, него свака иђаше на према се.
joined to each other, were their wings, —they turned not when they went, each one straight before him, did they go;
10 И лице беше у све четири лице човечје и лице лавово с десне стране, а с леве стране лице волујско и лице орлово у све четири.
and the likeness of their faces was the face of a man, with the face of a lion to the right of the four of them, and the face of an ox on the left, of the four of them, —the face of an eagle, also had they four;
11 И лица им и крила беху раздељена озго; у сваке се два крила састављаху једно с другим, а два покриваху им тело.
and their wings were spread above, — two of each joined one another, and two covered their bodies;
12 И свака иђаше право на према се; иђаху куда дух иђаше, и не окретаху се идући.
and each one straight before him, did they go, —whithersoever the spirit was minded to go, they went, they turned not when they went.
13 И на очи беху те животиње као живо угљевље, гораху на очи као свеће; тај огањ пролажаше између животиња и светљаше се, и из огња излажаше муња.
As for the likeness of the living ones, their appearance was like live coals of fire burning up like the appearance of torches, the same went to and fro between the living ones, —and the fire had brightness and out of the fire, went forth a lightning.
14 И животиње трчаху и враћаху се као муња.
And the living ones ran and returned, —like the appearance of a flash of lightning.
15 И кад гледах животиње, гле, точак један беше на земљи уза сваку животињу према четири лица њихова.
And I looked at the living ones, —and lo! one wheel upon the earth beside the living ones for each of his four faces,
16 Обличјем и направом беху точкови као боје хрисолитове, и сва четири беху једнака, и обличјем и направом беху као да је један точак у другом.
The appearance of the wheels and of their structure was like a Tarshish-stone to look upon, and they four had one likeness, —and their appearance and their structure were just as would be a wheel in the midst of a wheel.
17 Кад иђаху, иђаху сва четири сваки на своју страну, и идући не скретаху.
Upon their four sides, when they went, so did they go, —they turned not when they went.
18 И наплаци им беху високи страхота; и беху наплаци пуни очију унаоколо у сва четири.
As for their rings, they were so high that they were terrible, -and their rings full of eyes round about, had they four.
19 И кад иђаху животиње, иђаху и точкови уз њих; и кад се животиње подизаху од земље, подизаху се и точкови.
And when the living ones went, the wheels went beside them, —and when the living ones were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up:
20 Куда дух иђаше, онамо иђаху, и подизаху се точкови према њима, јер дух животињски беше у точковима.
whithersoever the spirit was minded to go, they went—thither was the spirit minded to go, —and the wheels would be lifted up along with them, for the spirit of the living one was in the wheels:
21 Кад оне иђаху, иђаху и они; и кад оне стајаху, стајаху и они; и кад се оне подизаху од земље, подизаху се и точкови према њима, јер дух животињски беше у точковима.
when they went, these went, and when they stood, these stood, —and when they were lifted up from off the earth, the wheels were lifted up along with them, for the spirit of the living one was in the wheels.
22 А над главама животињама беше као небо, по виђењу као кристал, страшно, разастрто озго, над главама њиховим.
And there was a likeness over the heads of the living one—an expanse, like terrible crystal to look upon, -stretched forth over their heads above.
23 А под тим небом беху им крила пружена, једно према другом, а два крила свакој покриваху тело.
And under the expanse, their wings were straight, one towards another, —each one had two covering on this side, and each one had two covering on that side, their bodies.
24 И чух хуку крила њихових кад иђаху као да беше хука велике воде, као глас Свемогућег и као граја у логору; и кад стајаху, спуштаху крила.
And I heard the sound of their wings, as the sound of many waters, as the sound of the Almighty, when they went, the sound of a storm as the sound of a host, —when they stood, they let down their wings,
25 И кад ставши спуштаху крила, чујаше се глас озго из неба, које беше над главама њиховим.
And there was a voice above the expanse that was over their head, —when they stood, they let down their wings.
26 И озго на оном небу што им беше над главама, беше као престо, по виђењу као камен сафир, и на престолу беше по обличју као човек.
And above the expanse that was over their heads, as the appearance of a sapphire stone, was the likeness of a throne, —and upon the likeness of a throne, was a likeness as the appearance of a man upon it above.
27 И видех као јаку светлост, и у њој унутра као огањ наоколо, од бедара горе, а од бедара доле видех као огањ и светлост око њега.
And I saw as burnished copper to look upon, as the appearance of fire within it round about, from the appearance of his loins and upwards and from the appearance of his loins and downwards, saw I as the appearance of fire, and he had brightness round about:
28 Као дуга у облаку кад је киша, таква на очи беше светлост унаоколо. То беше виђење славе Божје на очима; и кад видех, падох на лице своје, и чух глас Некога који говораше.
as the appearance of the bow which is in a cloud on a day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about, that was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Yahweh, and when I saw, I fell upon my face, and heard a voice of one speaking.
