에스겔 1장 [RSV]

1. 1 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.

   1 In the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I was among the exiles by the river Chebar, the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.

2. 2 In the fifth (day) of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachins captivity,

   2 On the fifth day of the month (it was the fifth year of the exile of King Jehoiachin),

3. 3 the word of Jehovah came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of Jehovah was there upon him.

   3 the word of the LORD came to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the LORD was upon him there.

4. 4 And I looked, and, behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, a great cloud, with a fire infolding itself, and a brightness round about it, and out of the midst thereof as it were glowing metal, out of the midst of the fire.

   4 As I looked, behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, and a great cloud, with brightness round about it, and fire flashing forth continually, and in the midst of the fire, as it were gleaming bronze.

5. 5 And out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man.

   5 And from the midst of it came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had the form of men,

6. 6 And every one had four faces, and every one of them had four wings.

   6 but each had four faces, and each of them had four wings.

7. 7 And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calfs foot; and they sparkled like burnished brass.

   7 Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the sole of a calfs foot; and they sparkled like burnished bronze.

8. 8 And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings (thus):

   8 Under their wings on their four sides they had human hands. And the four had their faces and their wings thus:

9. 9 their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward.

   9 their wings touched one another; they went every one straight forward, without turning as they went.

10. 10 As for the likeness of their faces, they had the face of a man; and they four had the face of a lion on the right side; and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four had also the face of an eagle.

    10 As for the likeness of their faces, each had the face of a man in front; the four had the face of a lion on the right side, the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and the four had the face of an eagle at the back.

11. 11 And their faces and their wings were separate above; two (wings) of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.

    11 Such were their faces. And their wings were spread out above; each creature had two wings, each of which touched the wing of another, while two covered their bodies.

12. 12 And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; they turned not when they went.

    12 And each went straight forward; wherever the spirit would go, they went, without turning as they went.

13. 13 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; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.

    13 In the midst of the living creatures there was something that looked like burning coals of fire, like torches moving to and fro among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.

14. 14 And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.

    14 And the living creatures darted to and fro, like a flash of lightning.

15. 15 Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold, one wheel upon the earth beside the living creatures, for each of the four faces thereof.

    15 Now as I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel upon the earth beside the living creatures, one for each of the four of them.

16. 16 The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto a beryl: and they four had one likeness; and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel within a wheel.

    16 As for the appearance of the wheels and their construction: their appearance was like the gleaming of a chrysolite; and the four had the same likeness, their construction being as it were a wheel within a wheel.

17. 17 When they went, they went in their four directions: they turned not when they went.

    17 When they went, they went in any of their four directions without turning as they went.

18. 18 As for their rims, they were high and dreadful; and they four had their rims full of eyes round about.

    18 The four wheels had rims and they had spokes; and their rims were full of eyes round about.

19. 19 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.

    19 And when the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures rose from the earth, the wheels rose.

20. 20 Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went; thither was the spirit to go: and the wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.

    20 Wherever the spirit would go, they went, and the wheels rose along with them; for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

21. 21 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 creature was in the wheels.

    21 When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those rose from the earth, the wheels rose along with them; for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

22. 22 And over the head of the living creature there was the likeness of a firmament, like the terrible crystal to look upon, stretched forth over their heads above.

    22 Over the heads of the living creatures there was the likeness of a firmament, shining like crystal, spread out above their heads.

23. 23 And under the firmament were their wings straight, the one toward the other: every one had two which covered on this side, and every one had two which covered on that side, their bodies.

    23 And under the firmament their wings were stretched out straight, one toward another; and each creature had two wings covering its body.

24. 24 And 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 a host: when they stood, they let down their wings.

    24 And when they went, I heard the sound of their wings like the sound of many waters, like the thunder of the Almighty, a sound of tumult like the sound of a host; when they stood still, they let down their wings.

25. 25 And there was a voice above the firmament that was over their heads: when they stood, they let down their wings.

    25 And there came a voice from above the firmament over their heads; when they stood still, they let down their wings.

26. 26 And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone; and upon the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man upon it above.

    26 And above the firmament over their heads there was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like sapphire; and seated above the likeness of a throne was a likeness as it were of a human form.

27. 27 And I saw as it were glowing metal, as the appearance of fire within it round about, from the appearance of his loins and upward; and from the appearance of his loins and downward I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness round about him.

    27 And upward from what had the appearance of his loins I saw as it were gleaming bronze, like the appearance of fire enclosed round about; and downward from what had the appearance of his loins I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness round about him.

28. 28 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 likeness of the glory of Jehovah. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.

    28 Like the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud on the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard the voice of one speaking.
