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.
Now 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, the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
2 Петог дана тог месеца, пете године од како се зароби цар Јоахин,
In the fifth of the month, which was the fifth year of King Jehoiachin’s captivity,
3 Дође реч Господња Језекиљу сину Вузијевом, свештенику, у земљи халдејској на реци Хевару, и онде дође рука Господња нада њ.
the LORD’s word came to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the LORD’s hand was there on him.
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;
I looked, and behold, a stormy wind came out of the north: a great cloud, with flashing lightning, and a brightness around it, and out of the middle of it as it were glowing metal, out of the middle of the fire.
5 Исред њега још као четири животиње, које на очи беху налик на човека;
Out of its center came the likeness of four living creatures. This was their appearance: They had the likeness of a man.
6 И у сваке беху четири лица, и четири крила у сваке;
Everyone had four faces, and each one of them had four wings.
7 И ноге им беху праве, а у стопалу беху им ноге као у телета; и севаху као углађена бронза.
Their feet were straight feet. The sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf’s foot; and they sparkled like burnished bronze.
8 И руке им беху човечје под крилима над четири стране, и лица им и крила беху на четири стране.
They had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides. The four of them had their faces and their wings like this:
9 Састављена им беху крила једно с другим; и не окретаху се идући, него свака иђаше на према се.
Their wings were joined to one another. They didn’t turn when they went. Each one went straight forward.
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.
As for the likeness of their faces, they had the face of a man. The four of them had the face of a lion on the right side. The four of them had the face of an ox on the left side. The four of them also had the face of an eagle.
11 И лица им и крила беху раздељена озго; у сваке се два крила састављаху једно с другим, а два покриваху им тело.
Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out above. Two wings of each one touched another, and two covered their bodies.
12 И свака иђаше право на према се; иђаху куда дух иђаше, и не окретаху се идући.
Each one went straight forward. Where the spirit was to go, they went. They didn’t turn 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 creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches. The fire went up and down among the living creatures. The fire was bright, and lightning went out of the fire.
14 И животиње трчаху и враћаху се као муња.
The living creatures ran and returned as 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.
Now as I saw the living creatures, behold, there was one wheel on the earth beside the living creatures, for each of the four faces of it.
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 their work was like a beryl. The four of them had one likeness. Their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel within a wheel.
17 Кад иђаху, иђаху сва четири сваки на своју страну, и идући не скретаху.
When they went, they went in their four directions. They didn’t turn when they went.
18 И наплаци им беху високи страхота; и беху наплаци пуни очију унаоколо у сва четири.
As for their rims, they were high and dreadful; and the four of them had their rims full of eyes all around.
19 И кад иђаху животиње, иђаху и точкови уз њих; и кад се животиње подизаху од земље, подизаху се и точкови.
When the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them. When the living creatures 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.
Wherever the spirit was to go, they went. The spirit was to go there. The wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of the living creature 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 those went, these went. When those stood, these stood. When those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
22 А над главама животињама беше као небо, по виђењу као кристал, страшно, разастрто озго, над главама њиховим.
Over the head of the living creature there was the likeness of an expanse, like an awesome crystal to look at, stretched out over their heads above.
23 А под тим небом беху им крила пружена, једно према другом, а два крила свакој покриваху тело.
Under the expanse, their wings were straight, one toward the other. Each one had two which covered on this side, and each one had two which covered their bodies on that side.
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.
When they went, I heard the noise of their wings like the noise of great waters, like the voice of the Almighty, a noise of tumult like the noise of an army. 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.
There was a voice above the expanse that was over their heads. 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.
Above the expanse that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone. On the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man on 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.
I saw as it were glowing metal, as the appearance of fire within it all around, from the appearance of his waist and upward; and from the appearance of his waist and downward I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness around him.
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 rainbow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around. This was the appearance of the likeness of the LORD’s glory. When I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of one that spoke.
