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.
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 В пятый день месяца, сие лето пятое пленения царя Иоакима,
In the fifth of the month, which was the fifth year of King Jehoiachin’s captivity,
3 и бысть слово Господне ко Иезекиилю сыну Вузиеву, священнику, в земли Халдейстей при реце Ховар. И бысть на мне рука Господня,
Yahweh’s word came to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and Yahweh’s hand was there on him.
4 и видех, и се, дух воздвизаяйся грядяше от севера, и облак великий в нем, и свет окрест его, и огнь блистаяйся:
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 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:
Out of its center came 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,
Everyone had four faces, and each one of them had four wings.
7 и голени их правы, и пернаты ноги их, и искры яко блистающаяся медь, и легка крила их,
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 рука человеча под крилами их на четырех странах их:
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 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 joined to one another. They didn’t turn when they went. 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:
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 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:
Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out above. Two wings of each one touched another, and two covered their bodies.
12 идеже аще бяше дух шествуяй, идяху и не обращахуся.
Each one went straight forward. Where the spirit was to go, they went. They didn’t turn when they went.
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. The fire went up and down among the living creatures. The fire was bright, and lightning went out of the fire.
14 и животная течаху и обращахуся, яко видение везеково.
The living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.
15 И видех, и се, коло едино на земли держащееся животных четырех:
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 и видение колес и сотворение их, яко видение Фарсиса, и подобие едино четырем: и дело их бяше, якоже аще бы было коло в колеси:
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 на четыри страны их шествоваху: не обращахуся, внегда шествовати им,
When they went, they went in their four directions. They didn’t turn when 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 dreadful; and the four of them had their rims full of eyes all around.
19 и внегда шествовати животным, шествоваху и колеса держащеся их: и внегда воздвизатися животным от земли, воздвизахуся и колеса.
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 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 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 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.
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 И подобие над главою животных яко твердь, яко видение кристалла, простертое над крилами их свыше:
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 и под твердию крила их простерта, паряще друг ко другу, комуждо два спряжена, прикрывающе телеса их.
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 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.
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 се, глас превыше тверди сущия над главою их: внегда стояти им, низпускахуся крила их.
There was a voice above the expanse that was over their heads. When they stood, they let down 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 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 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 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 яко видение дуги, егда есть на облацех в день дождя, тако стояние света окрест.
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 Yahweh’s glory. When I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of one that spoke.
