< Ezekiel 1 >

1 Nangyari nga nang ikatatlong pung taon, sa ikaapat na buwan, nang ikalimang araw ng buwan, samantalang ako'y kasama ng mga bihag sa pangpang ng ilog Chebar, na ang langit ay nabuksan, at ako'y nakakita ng mga pangitain mula sa Dios.
Now it came about in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, while I was by the river Chebar among those who had been made prisoners, that the heavens were made open and I saw visions of God.
2 Nang ikalimang araw ng buwan, na siyang ikalimang taon ng pagkabihag ng haring Joacim,
On the fifth day of the month, in the fifth year after King Jehoiachin had been made a prisoner,
3 Ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating na maliwanag kay Ezekiel na saserdote, na anak ni Buzi, sa lupain ng mga Caldeo sa pangpang ng ilog Chebar: at ang kamay ng Panginoon, ay sumasa kaniya.
The word of the Lord came to me, Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldaeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the Lord was on me there.
4 At ako'y tumingin, at, narito, isang unos na hangin ay lumabas na mula sa hilagaan, na isang malaking ulap, na may isang apoy na naglilikom sa sarili, at isang ningning sa palibot, at mula sa gitna niyao'y may parang metal na nagbabaga, mula sa gitna ng apoy.
And, looking, I saw a storm-wind coming out of the north, a great cloud with flames of fire coming after one another, and a bright light shining round about it and in the heart of it was something coloured like electrum.
5 At mula sa gitna niyao'y nanggaling ang kahawig ng apat na nilalang na may buhay. At ito ang kanilang anyo, Sila'y nakawangis ng isang tao;
And in the heart of it were the forms of four living beings. And this was what they were like; they had the form of a man.
6 At bawa't isa ay may apat na mukha, at bawa't isa sa kanila ay may apat na pakpak.
And every one had four faces, and every one of them had four wings.
7 At ang kanilang mga paa ay mga matuwid na paa; at ang talampakan ng kanilang mga paa ay parang talampakan ng paa ng isang guya; at sila'y nagsisikinang na parang kulay ng tansong binuli.
And their feet were straight feet; and the under sides of their feet were like the feet of oxen; and they were shining like polished brass.
8 At sila'y may mga kamay ng tao sa ilalim ng kanilang mga pakpak sa kanilang apat na tagiliran; at silang apat ay may kanilang mga mukha, at may kanilang mga pakpak na ganito:
And they had the hands of a man under their wings; the four of them had faces on their four sides.
9 Ang kanilang mga pakpak ay nagkakadaitan; sila'y hindi nagsisipihit nang sila'y yumaon; yumaon bawa't isa sa kanila na patuloy.
They went without turning, every one went straight forward.
10 Tungkol sa anyo ng kanilang mga mukha, sila'y may mukhang tao; at silang apat ay may mukha ng leon sa kanang tagiliran; at silang apat ay may mukha ng baka sa kaliwang tagiliran; silang apat ay may mukha rin ng aguila.
As for the form of their faces, they had the face of a man, and the four of them had the face of a lion on the right side, and the four of them had the face of an ox on the left side, and the four of them had the face of an eagle.
11 At ang kanilang mga mukha at ang kanilang mga pakpak ay magkahiwalay sa itaas: dalawang pakpak ng bawa't isa ay nagkakadaitan at ang dalawa ay nagsisitakip ng kanilang mga katawan.
And their wings were separate at the top; two of the wings of every one were joined one to another, and two were covering their bodies.
12 At yumaon bawa't isa sa kanila na patuloy; kung saan naparoroon ang espiritu, doon sila nangaparoroon; sila'y hindi nagsisipihit nang sila'y yumaon.
Every one of them went straight forward; wherever the spirit was to go they went; they went on without turning.
13 Tungkol sa anyo ng mga nilalang na may buhay, ang kanilang katulad ay parang mga bagang nagniningas; parang mga sulo: ang apoy ay tumataas at bumababa sa gitna ng mga nilalang na may buhay at ang apoy ay maningas, at mula sa apoy ay may lumabas na kidlat.
And between the living beings it was like burning coals of fire, as if flames were going one after the other between the living beings; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went thunder-flames.
14 At ang mga nilalang na may buhay ay nagsitakbo at nagsibalik na parang kislap ng kidlat.
And the living beings went out and came back as quickly as a thunder-flame.
15 Samantala ngang minamasdan ko ang mga nilalang na may buhay, narito, ang isang gulong sa lupa sa siping ng mga nilalang na may buhay, sa bawa't isa ng apat na mukha ng mga yaon.
Now while I was looking at the four living beings, I saw one wheel on the earth, by the side of the living beings, for the four of them.
16 Ang anyo ng mga gulong at ng kanilang pagkayari ay parang kulay ng berilo: at ang apat na yaon ay may isang anyo: at ang kanilang anyo at ang kanilang pagkayari ay parang isang gulong sa loob ng isang gulong.
The form of the wheels and their work was like a beryl; the four of them had the same form and design, and they were like a wheel inside a wheel.
17 Pagka yumaon, nagsisiyaon sa kanilang apat na dako: hindi nagsisipihit nang sila'y yumaon.
The four of them went straight forward without turning to one side.
18 Tungkol sa kanilang mga Rueda ay matataas at kakilakilabot; at itong apat ay may kanilang mga Ilanta na puno ng mga mata sa palibot.
And I saw that they had edges, and their edges, even of the four, were full of eyes round about.
19 At pagka ang mga nilalang na may buhay ay nagsisiyaon, ang mga gulong ay nagsisiyaon sa siping nila; at pagka ang mga nilalang na may buhay ay nangatataas mula sa lupa, ang mga gulong ay nangatataas.
And when the living beings went on, the wheels went by their side; and when the living beings were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.
20 Kung saan naparoroon ang espiritu ay nangaparoroon sila; doon pinaparoonan ng espiritu; at ang mga gulong ay nangatataas sa siping nila; sapagka't ang espiritu ng nilalang na may buhay ay nasa mga gulong.
Wherever the spirit was to go they went; and the wheels were lifted up by their side: for the spirit of the living beings was in the wheels.
21 Pagka ang mga yaon ay nagsisiyaon, ang mga ito'y nagsisiyaon; at pagka ang mga yaon ay nagsisitayo, ang mga ito ay nagsisitayo; at pagka ang mga yaon ay nangatataas mula sa lupa, ang mga gulong ay nangatataas sa siping nila; sapagka't ang espiritu ng nilalang na may buhay ay nasa mga gulong.
When these went on, the others went; and when these came to rest, the others came to rest; and when these were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up by their side: for the spirit of the living beings was in the wheels.
22 At sa ibabaw ng ulo ng nilalang na may buhay, may kawangis ng langit, na parang kulay ng kakilakilabot na bubog, na nakaunat sa itaas ng kanilang mga ulo.
And over the heads of the living beings there was the form of an arch, looking like ice, stretched out over their heads on high.
23 At sa ilalim ng langit ay nakaunat ang kanilang mga pakpak, na ang isa ay sa gawi ng isa: bawa't isa'y may dalawa na tumatakip ng kaniyang katawan sa dakong ito, at bawa't isa'y may dalawa na tumatakip sa dakong yaon.
Under the arch their wings were straight, one stretched out to another: every one had two wings covering their bodies on this side and two covering their bodies on that side.
24 At nang sila'y magsiyaon, aking narinig ang pagaspas ng kanilang mga pakpak na parang hugong ng maraming tubig, parang tinig ng Makapangyarihan sa lahat, na hugong ng kagulo na gaya ng kaingay ng isang hukbo: pagka sila'y nagsisitayo, kanilang ibinababa ang kanilang mga pakpak.
And when they went, the sound of their wings was like the sound of great waters to my ears, like the voice of the Ruler of all, a sound like the rushing of an army: when they came to rest they let down their wings.
25 At may tinig na nagmula sa itaas ng langit na nasa ibabaw ng kanilang mga ulo: pagka sila'y nagsisitayo, kanilang ibinababa ang kanilang mga pakpak.
And there was a voice from the top of the arch which was over their heads: when they came to rest they let down their wings.
26 At sa itaas ng langit na nasa itaas ng kanilang mga ulo ay may kawangis ng isang luklukan na parang anyo ng batong zafiro; at sa ibabaw ng kawangis ng luklukan ay may kawangis ng isang tao sa itaas niyaon.
And on the top of the arch which was over their heads was the form of a king's seat, like a sapphire stone; and on the form of the seat was the form of a man seated on it on high.
27 At ako'y nakakita ng parang metal na nagbabaga, na parang anyo ng apoy sa loob niyaon, na nakikita mula sa kaniyang mga balakang na paitaas; at mula sa kaniyang mga balakang na paibaba ay nakakita ako ng parang anyo ng apoy, at may ningning sa palibot niyaon.
And I saw it coloured like electrum, with the look of fire in it and round it, going up from what seemed to be the middle of his body; and going down from what seemed to be the middle of his body I saw what was like fire, and there was a bright light shining round him.
28 Kung paano ang anyo ng bahaghari na nasa alapaap sa kaarawan ng ulan, gayon ang anyo ng kinang sa palibot. Ito ang anyo ng kaluwalhatian ng Panginoon. At nang aking makita, ako'y nasubasob, at aking narinig ang tinig ng isang nagsasalita.
Like the bow in the cloud on a day of rain, so was the light shining round him. And this is what the glory of the Lord was like. And when I saw it I went down on my face, and the voice of one talking came to my ears.
