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 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 Петог дана тог месеца, пете године од како се зароби цар Јоахин,
On the fifth day of the month, in 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.
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 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;
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 Исред њега још као четири животиње, које на очи беху налик на човека;
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 И у сваке беху четири лица, и четири крила у сваке;
And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings.
7 И ноге им беху праве, а у стопалу беху им ноге као у телета; и севаху као углађена бронза.
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 И руке им беху човечје под крилима над четири стране, и лица им и крила беху на четири стране.
And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides, and all four had faces and wings.
9 Састављена им беху крила једно с другим; и не окретаху се идући, него свака иђаше на према се.
Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not about when they went; they went every one 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 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 И лица им и крила беху раздељена озго; у сваке се два крила састављаху једно с другим, а два покриваху им тело.
Thus were their faces. And their wings were expanded upward; two wings of every one were joined, and two covered their bodies.
12 И свака иђаше право на према се; иђаху куда дух иђаше, и не окретаху се идући.
And they went every one straight forward; whither the spirit was to go, they went, and they turned not about 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.
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 И животиње трчаху и враћаху се као муња.
And the living creatures ran backward and forward like 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 beheld the living creatures, behold, there stood a wheel upon the earth by each of the living creatures, with its four sides.
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 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 Кад иђаху, иђаху сва четири сваки на своју страну, и идући не скретаху.
When they went, they went upon their four sides, and they turned not about when they went.
18 И наплаци им беху високи страхота; и беху наплаци пуни очију унаоколо у сва четири.
As for their felloes, they were high and terrible; and their felloes were full of eyes round about upon all four of them.
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 creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and 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.
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 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; 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 А над главама животињама беше као небо, по виђењу као кристал, страшно, разастрто озго, над главама њиховим.
And over the heads of the living creatures was the appearance of a firmament, like crystal, terrible, spread out 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 firmament were their wings upright, the one toward the other; and every one had two, which covered his body.
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 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 И кад ставши спуштаху крила, чујаше се глас озго из неба, које беше над главама њиховим.
And there was a voice from the firmament, that was over their heads; and they stood still, and 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 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 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 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 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 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.
