Книга пророка Иезекииля 1
1 И бысть в тридесятое лето, в четвертый месяц, в пятый день месяца, и аз бых посреде пленения при реце Ховар: и отверзошася небеса, и видех видения Божия.
In the thirtieth year, the fourth month, and the fifth day of the month, it came about that I was living among the captives by the Kebar Canal. The heavens opened, and I saw visions of God.
2 В пятый день месяца, сие лето пятое пленения царя Иоакима,
On the fifth day of that month—it was the fifth year of the exile of King Jehoiachin—
3 и бысть слово Господне ко Иезекиилю сыну Вузиеву, священнику, в земли Халдейстей при реце Ховар. И бысть на мне рука Господня,
the word of Yahweh came to Ezekiel son of Buzi the priest, in the land of the Chaldeans by the Kebar Canal, and the hand of Yahweh was upon him there.
4 и видех, и се, дух воздвизаяйся грядяше от севера, и облак великий в нем, и свет окрест его, и огнь блистаяйся:
Then I looked, and there was a windstorm coming from the north; a great cloud with fire flashing within it and brightness surrounding it and inside of it, and the fire was the color of amber inside the cloud.
5 и посреде его яко видение илектра посреде огня, и свет в нем: и посреде яко подобие четырех животных. И сие видение их, яко подобие человека в них:
In the middle was the likeness of four living creatures. This was their appearance: They had the likeness of a man,
6 и четыри лица единому, и четыри крила единому,
but they had four faces each, and each of the creatures had four wings.
7 и голени их правы, и пернаты ноги их, и искры яко блистающаяся медь, и легка крила их,
Their legs were straight, but the soles of their feet were like the hooves of a calf that shone like polished bronze.
8 и рука человеча под крилами их на четырех странах их:
Yet they had human hands under their wings on all four sides. For all four, their faces and wings were like this:
9 и лица их, и крила их четырех держащаяся друг друга, лица же их четырех не обращахуся внегда ходити им: коеждо прямо лица своего хождаху.
their wings were touching the wings of the next creature, and they did not turn as they went; instead, each one went straight forward.
10 И подобие лиц их, лице человечее и лице львово одесную четырем, и лице телчее ошуюю четырем, и лице орлее четырем:
The likeness of their faces was like the face of a man. The four of them had the face of a lion to the right side, and the four of them had the face of an ox on the left side. They four had also the face of an eagle.
11 (и лица их) и крила их простерта свыше четырем, коемуждо два сопряжена друг ко другу, и два покрываху верху телесе их, и коеждо прямо лицу своему идяше:
Their faces were like that, and their wings were spread out above, so that each creature had a pair of wings that touched another creature's wing, and also a pair of wings that covered their bodies.
12 идеже аще бяше дух шествуяй, идяху и не обращахуся.
Each went straight forward, so that wherever the Spirit directed them to go, they went without turning.
13 И посреде животных видение, яко углия огня горящаго, яко видение свещ сообращающихся посреде животных, и свет огня, и от огня исхождаше яко молния:
As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches; bright fire also moved about among the creatures, and there were flashes of lightning.
14 и животная течаху и обращахуся, яко видение везеково.
The living creatures were moving swiftly back and forth, and they had the appearance of lightning!
15 И видех, и се, коло едино на земли держащееся животных четырех:
Then I looked at the living creatures; and I saw one wheel on the ground beside each of living creatures with its four faces.
16 и видение колес и сотворение их, яко видение Фарсиса, и подобие едино четырем: и дело их бяше, якоже аще бы было коло в колеси:
This was the appearance and structure of the wheels: Each wheel was like beryl, and the four had the same likeness; their appearance and structure was like a wheel intersecting another wheel.
17 на четыри страны их шествоваху: не обращахуся, внегда шествовати им,
As they moved, they went in any of their four directions, without turning as they went.
18 ниже хребты их, и высота бяше им. И видех та, и плеща их исполнена очес окрест четырем:
As for their rims, they were high and fearsome, for the rims were full of eyes round about.
19 и внегда шествовати животным, шествоваху и колеса держащеся их: и внегда воздвизатися животным от земли, воздвизахуся и колеса.
Whenever the living creatures moved, the wheels moved beside them. When the living creatures rose up from the earth, the wheels also rose up.
20 Идеже аще бяше облак, тамо бяше и дух, еже шествовати: шествоваху и животная, и колеса воздвизахуся с ними, зане дух жизни бяше в колесех.
Wherever the Spirit would go, they went, and the wheels rose up beside them, for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
21 Внегда идяху сия, идяху (и колеса), и внегда стояти им, стояху (и колеса с ними), и егда воздвизахуся от земли, воздвизахуся с ними (и колеса), яко дух жизни бяше в колесех.
Whenever the creatures moved, the wheels also moved; and when the creatures stood still, the wheels stood still; when the creatures rose up from the earth, the wheels rose up beside them, because the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
22 И подобие над главою животных яко твердь, яко видение кристалла, простертое над крилами их свыше:
Over the heads of the living creatures was the likeness of an expansive dome; it looked like awe-inspiring crystal stretched out over their heads above.
23 и под твердию крила их простерта, паряще друг ко другу, комуждо два спряжена, прикрывающе телеса их.
Beneath the dome, each one of the creature's wings stretched out straight and touched another creature's wings. Each of the living creatures also had a pair to cover themselves; each had a pair to cover his own body.
24 И слышах глас крил их, внегда паряху, яко глас вод многих, яко глас Бога Саддаи: и внегда ходити им, глас слова яко глас полка: и внегда стояти им, почиваху крила их.
Then I heard the sound of their wings. Like the noise of many waters. Like the voice of the Almighty whenever they moved. Like the sound of a rainstorm. Like the sound of an army. Whenever they stood still, they lowered their wings.
25 И се, глас превыше тверди сущия над главою их: внегда стояти им, низпускахуся крила их.
A voice came from above the dome over their heads whenever they stood still and lowered their wings.
26 И над твердию, яже над главою их, яко видение камене сапфира, подобие престола на нем, и на подобии престола подобие якоже вид человечь сверху.
Above the dome over their heads was the likeness of a throne that was like the appearance of a sapphire stone, and on the likeness of the throne was a likeness like the appearance of a man.
27 И видех яко видение илектра, яко видение огня внутрь его окрест: от видения чресл и выше и от видения чресл даже до долу видех видение огня, и свет его окрест:
I saw a figure with the appearance of glowing metal with fire in it from the appearance of his hips up; I saw from the appearance of his hips downward the appearance of fire and brightness all around.
28 яко видение дуги, егда есть на облацех в день дождя, тако стояние света окрест.
Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day was the appearance of the bright light surrounding it. It was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Yahweh. When I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice speaking.
