< 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 it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth [month], on the fifth 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,
On the fifth of the month, (it 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,
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.
4 и видех, и се, дух воздвизаяйся грядяше от севера, и облак великий в нем, и свет окрест его, и огнь блистаяйся:
And I looked, and behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the look of glowing brass, out of the midst 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:
Also out of the midst thereof, the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man.
6 и четыри лица единому, и четыри крила единому,
And every one had four faces, and every one of them had four wings.
7 и голени их правы, и пернаты ноги их, и искры яко блистающаяся медь, и легка крила их,
And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot; and they sparkled as the look of burnished brass.
8 и рука человеча под крилами их на четырех странах их:
And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings:
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 one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward.
10 И подобие лиц их, лице человечее и лице львово одесную четырем, и лице телчее ошуюю четырем, и лице орлее четырем:
And the likeness of their faces was 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.
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:
And their faces and their wings were parted above; two [wings] of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.
12 идеже аще бяше дух шествуяй, идяху и не обращахуся.
And they went every one straight forward: whither the Spirit was to go, they went; they turned not 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:
And as for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, as the appearance of torches: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright; and out of the fire went forth lightning.
14 и животная течаху и обращахуся, яко видение везеково.
And 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:
And I looked at the living creatures, and behold, one wheel upon the earth beside the living creatures, toward their four faces.
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 as the look of a chrysolite; and they four had one likeness; and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel.
17 на четыри страны их шествоваху: не обращахуся, внегда шествовати им,
When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not 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 they four had their rims full of eyes round about.
19 и внегда шествовати животным, шествоваху и колеса держащеся их: и внегда воздвизатися животным от земли, воздвизахуся и колеса.
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.
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.
Whithersoever the Spirit was to go, they went, thither would [their] spirit go; and the wheels were lifted up along with 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, they went; and when those stood, they stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up along with 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:
And there was the likeness of an expanse over the heads of the living creature, as the look of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above.
23 и под твердию крила их простерта, паряще друг ко другу, комуждо два спряжена, прикрывающе телеса их.
And under the expanse 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.
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.
And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, a tumultuous noise, as the noise of a host: when they stood, they let down their wings;
25 И се, глас превыше тверди сущия над главою их: внегда стояти им, низпускахуся крила их.
and there was a voice from 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.
And above the expanse 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 above upon it.
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:
And I saw as the look of glowing brass, 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 it had brightness round about.
28 яко видение дуги, егда есть на облацех в день дождя, тако стояние света окрест.
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, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of one that spoke.
