Ezekiel 1
1 Sa ikatatlumpung taon, sa ikaapat na buwan, at sa ikalimang araw ng buwan, nangyaring naninirahan akong kasama ng mga bihag sa tabi ng Kanal Kebar. Nabuksan ang kalangitan, at nakakita ako ng mga pangitain ng Diyos!
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 Noong ikalimang araw ng buwan na iyon—ito ang ikalimang taon ng pagkatapon kay Haring Jehoiakin,
In the fifth of the month, which was the fifth year of King Jehoiachin’s captivity,
3 dumating nang may kapangyarihan ang salita ni Yahweh kay Ezekiel na anak ni Buzi at ang pari sa lupain ng mga Caldeo sa tabi ng Kanal Kebar. Dumating ang kamay ni Yahweh sa kaniya roon.
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 Pagkatapos, tumingin ako, at mayroong dumarating na malakas na hangin mula sa hilaga—isang malaking ulap na may kumikinang na apoy sa loob nito, at liwanag ang nasa palibot at loob nito, at kulay ng ambar ang apoy sa loob ng ulap.
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 Sa gitna ay anyo ng apat na buhay na nilalang. Ito ang kanilang wangis: mayroon silang anyong tao,
Out of its center came the likeness of four living creatures. This was their appearance: They had the likeness of a man.
6 ngunit ang bawat isa sa kanila ay mayroong apat na mukha, at ang bawat isa sa mga nilalang ay may apat na pakpak.
Everyone had four faces, and each one of them had four wings.
7 Tuwid ang kanilang mga binti, ngunit ang talampakan ng kanilang mga paa ay tulad ng mga kuko ng isang guya na makinang tulad ng pinakintab na tanso.
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 Gayon pa man, mayroon silang mga kamay ng tao sa ilalim ng kanilang mga pakpak sa lahat ng apat na dako. Sa kanilang apat, ang kanilang mga mukha at mga pakpak ay ganito:
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 ang kanilang mga pakpak ay sumasagi sa mga pakpak ng kasunod na nilalang, at hindi sila lumiliko habang umuusad, sa halip, ang bawat isa ay umusad pasulong.
Their wings were joined to one another. They did not turn when they went. Each one went straight forward.
10 Ang wangis ng kanilang mga mukha ay tulad ng mukha ng isang tao, sunod, ang mukha ng isang leon sa kanan, sunod, ang mukha ng isang toro sa kaliwa, at sa huli, ang mukha ng isang agila.
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 Ganyan ang kanilang mga mukha, at ang kanilang mga pakpak ay nakabuka sa itaas, upang ang bawat nilalang ay may pares ng mga pakpak na nakasagi sa pakpak ng isa pang nilalang, at isang pares din ng mga pakpak ang nakatakip sa kanilang mga katawan.
Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out above. Two wings of each one touched another, and two covered their bodies.
12 Ang bawat isa ay umusad pasulong, upang saanman sila utusang pumunta ng Espiritu, pumunta sila nang hindi lumilingon.
Each one went straight forward. Where the spirit was to go, they went. They did not turn when they went.
13 Tulad ng mga nagliliyab na baga ang mga buhay na nilalang, o tulad ng mga sulo, may maliwanag na apoy din na gumagalaw kasama ng mga nilalang, at may mga kumikislap na kidlat.
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 Mabilis na gumagalaw nangpabalik-balik ang mga buhay na nilalang, at mukha silang kidlat!
The living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.
15 At tumingin ako sa mga buhay na nilalang, may isang gulong sa ilalim na nasa tabi ng mga buhay na nilalang.
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 Ito ang wangis at balangkas ng mga gulong: ang bawat gulong ay tulad ng berilyo, at magkakatulad lahat ang apat, tila binabagtas ng isang gulong ang isa pang gulong.
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 Kapag gumulong ang mga gulong, nakakapunta sila sa bawat direksyon nang hindi lumilingon.
When they went, they went in their four directions. They did not turn when they went.
18 Para naman sa mga gilid naman ng mga ito, matataas at nakakatakot, sapagkat ang mga gilid ay puno ng mga mata paikot!
As for their rims, they were high and dreadful; and the four of them had their rims full of eyes all around.
19 Kapag gumagalaw ang mga buhay na nilalang, gumagalaw ang mga gulong sa tabi nila. Kapag pumapaitaas ang mga buhay na nilalang mula sa lupa, pumapaitaas din ang mga gulong.
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 Saanman pumupunta ang Espiritu, pumupunta sila kung saan tumutungo ang Espiritu, pumapaitaas sa tabi nila ang mga gulong, sapagkat ang espiritu ng mga buhay na nilalang ay nasa mga gulong.
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 Kapag gumagalaw ang mga nilalang, gumagalaw rin ang mga gulong, at kapag tumitigil ang mga nilalang, tumitigil ang mga gulong, kapag pumapaitaas mula sa lupa ang mga nilalang, pumapaitaas ang mga gulong sa tabi nila, sapagkat ang espiritu ng mga buhay na nilalang ay nasa mga gulong.
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 Sa ibabaw ng mga ulo ng mga buhay na nilalang ay may tulad ng isang napakalaking pabilog na bubong, tulad ito ng kahanga-hangang kristal na nakabuka sa ibabaw ng kanilang mga ulo.
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 Sa ilalim ng pabilog na bubong, ang bawat isa sa mga pakpak ng nilalang ay nakabuka nang tuwid at nakasagi sa mga pakpak ng isa pang nilalang. Ang bawat buhay na nilalang ay may isang pares din upang takpan ang kanilang mga sarili—ang bawat isa ay may isang pares upang takpan ang kaniyang sariling katawan.
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 At narinig ko ang tunog ng kanilang mga pakpak! Tulad ng ingay ng rumaragasang tubig. Tulad ng tinig ng Makapangyarihan. Kapag gumagalaw sila, nagkakaroon ng tunog ng isang bagyong ulan. Tulad ito ng tunog ng isang hukbo. Kapag tumitigil sila, ibinababa nila ang kanilang mga pakpak.
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 At isang tinig ang nagmula sa itaas ng pabilog na bubong sa ibabaw ng kanilang mga ulo kapag tumitigil sila at ibinababa ang kanilang mga pakpak.
There was a voice above the expanse that was over their heads. When they stood, they let down their wings.
26 Sa itaas ng pabilog na bubong sa ibabaw ng kanilang mga ulo ay may anyo ng isang tronong tulad ng safiro, at ang nasa trono ay ang wangis ng isang tulad ng tao.
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 Nakita ko ang isang anyong tulad ng nagliliwanag na metal na may apoy sa loob mula sa kaniyang baywang pataas, mula sa kaniyang baywang pababa ay tulad ng apoy at liwanag ang nasa buong paligid.
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 Tulad ito ng isang bahagharing lumilitaw sa mga ulap sa isang maulang araw—at tulad ng maliwanag na ilaw ang pumapaligid dito. Nagpakita ito tulad ng anyo ng kaluwalhatian ni Yahweh. Nang makita ko ito, nagpatirapa ako, at narinig ko ang isang tinig na nagsasalita.
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.
