Ezekiel 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.
Pripetilo se je torej v tridesetem letu, v četrtem mesecu, na peti dan meseca, ko sem bil med ujetniki pri reki Kebár, da so se odprla nebesa in zagledal sem Božja videnja.
2 In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity,
Na peti dan meseca, kar je bilo peto leto ujetništva kralja Jojahína,
3 the word of the LORD came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the LORD was there upon him.
je prišla Gospodova beseda izrecno k duhovniku Ezekielu, Buzijevemu sinu, v deželi Kaldejcev, pri reki Kebár in tam je bila nad njim Gospodova roka.
4 And I looked, and, behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, a great cloud, with a fire flashing up, so that a brightness was round about it; and out of the midst thereof as the colour of electrum, out of the midst of the fire.
Pogledal sem in glej, vrtinčast veter je prišel iz severa, velik oblak in ogenj ga je obsegal in okoli njega je bil sijaj in iz njegove srede kakor jantarjeva barva ven iz srede ognja.
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.
Prav tako je iz njegove srede prišla podobnost štirih živih ustvarjenih bitij. In to je bil njihov videz; imela so podobnost človeka.
6 And every one had four faces, and every one of them had four wings.
Vsako je imelo štiri obraze in vsako je imelo štiri peruti.
7 And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot; and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass.
Njihova stopala so bila ravna stopala in podplat njihovih stopal je bil podoben telečjemu kopitu, in lesketala so se podobno barvi zloščenega brona.
8 And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and as for the faces and wings of them four,
Pod svojimi perutmi, na svojih štirih straneh, so imela človeške roke in ta štiri so imela svoje obraze in svoje peruti.
9 their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward.
Njihove peruti so bile pridružene druga k drugi; niso se obračala, ko so hodila; šla so vsaka naravnost naprej.
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.
Kar zadeva podobnost njihovih obrazov, ta štiri so imela človeški obraz in obraz leva na desni strani in ta štiri so imela obraz vola na levi strani; ta štiri so imela tudi obraz orla.
11 Thus were their faces; and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.
Takšni so bili njihovi obrazi. Njihove peruti so bile iztegnjene navzgor; dve peruti vsakega sta bili pridruženi druga k drugi, dve pa sta pokrivali njihova telesa.
12 And they went every one straight forward; whither the spirit was to go, they went; they turned not when they went.
Hodila so vsako naravnost naprej. Kamor naj bi šel duh, [tja] so šla, in niso se obračala, ko so hodila.
13 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like coals of fire, burning like the appearance of torches; it flashed up and down among the living creatures; and there was brightness to the fire, and out of the fire went forth lightning.
Kar se tiče podobnosti živih ustvarjenih bitij, je bil njihov videz podoben gorečemu ognjenemu oglju in podoben videzu svetilk. Ta je šel gor in dol med živimi ustvarjenimi bitji in ogenj je bil svetel in iz ognja se je dvigovalo bliskanje.
14 And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.
Živa ustvarjena bitja so tekala in se vračala kakor videz bliska strele.
15 Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel at the bottom hard by the living creatures, at the four faces thereof.
Medtem ko sem gledal živa ustvarjena bitja, sem na zemlji zagledal eno kolo poleg živih ustvarjenih bitij, z njegovimi štirimi obrazi.
16 The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl; and they four had one likeness; and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel within a wheel.
Videz koles in njihovo delo je bilo podobno barvi berila. Ta štiri so imela eno podobnost, in njihov videz in njihovo delo je bilo, kakor bi bilo kolo v sredi kolesa.
17 When they went, they went toward their four sides; they turned not when they went.
Ko so hodila, so hodila na svoje štiri strani, in ko so hodila, se niso obračala.
18 As for their rings, they were high and they were dreadful; and they four had their rings full of eyes round about.
Kar se tiče njihovih platišč, so bila tako visoka, da so bila grozna, in njihova platišča so bila polna oči naokoli teh štirih.
19 And when the living creatures went, the wheels went hard by them; and when the living creatures were lifted up from the bottom, the wheels were lifted up.
Ko so živa ustvarjena bitja hodila, so poleg njih šla kolesa. In ko so bila živa ustvarjena bitja dvignjena z zemlje, so bila dvignjena kolesa.
20 Whithersoever the spirit was to go, as the spirit was to go thither, so they went; and the wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
Kamor naj bi šel duh, so šla, tja naj bi šel njihov duh, in kolesa so bila dvignjena nasproti njih, kajti v kolesih je bil duh živega ustvarjenega bitja.
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.
Ko so tista šla, so šla ta; in ko so tista stala, so stala ta; in ko so bila tista dvignjena z zemlje, so bila kolesa dvignjena nasproti njih, kajti v kolesih je bil duh živega ustvarjenega bitja.
22 And over the heads of the living creatures there was the likeness of a firmament, like the colour of the terrible ice, stretched forth over their heads above.
Podobnost nebesnega svoda nad glavami živega ustvarjenega bitja je bila kakor barva strašnega kristala, razprostrtega zgoraj, nad njihovimi glavami.
23 And under the firmament were their wings conformable the one to the other; this one of them had two which covered, and that one of them had two which covered, their bodies.
Pod nebesnim svodom so bile njihove peruti ravne druga proti drugi. Vsako je imelo dve, ki sta pokrili na tej strani in vsako je imelo dve, ki sta pokrili na oni strani njihovih teles.
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.
In ko so hodila, sem slišal šum njihovih peruti, podoben hrumenju velikih vodá, kakor glas Vsemogočnega, glas govora kakor hrup vojske. Ko so stala, so svoje peruti povesila.
25 For, when there was a voice above the firmament that was over their heads, as they stood, they let down their wings.
Bil je glas izpod nebesnega svoda, ki je bil nad njihovimi glavami, ko so stala in spustila svoje peruti.
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.
Nad nebesnim svodom, ki je bil nad njihovimi glavami, je bila podobnost prestola, kakor videz kamna safira. Na podobnosti prestola je bila podobnost kakor videz človeka nad njim.
27 And I saw as the colour of electrum, as the appearance of fire round about enclosing it, 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.
Videl sem kakor barvo jantarja, kakor videz ognja okrog in okrog znotraj njega, od videza njegovih ledij navzgor in celo od videza njegovih ledij navzdol sem videl, kakor bi bil videz ognja in ta je imel sijaj vsenaokrog.
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 the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spoke.
Kakor videz mavrice, ki je na oblaku na deževen dan, takšen je bil videz sijaja naokoli. To je bil videz podobnosti Gospodove slave. Ko sem to zagledal, sem padel na svoj obraz in slišal glas nekoga, ki je spregovoril.
