Ezekiel 1
1 Kum sawmthum dongkah a hla li sa hnin nga lo coeng. Kebar tuiva kah vangsawn lakli ah ka om vaengah vaan ong uh tih Pathen kah mangthui te ka hmuh.
Now it happened in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth of the month, as I was among the captives by the river Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
2 Te vaengah manghai Jehoiachin hlangsol kah kum nga hla nga lo coeng.
In the fifth of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity,
3 Kebar tuiva Khalden kho kah khosoih Buzi capa Ezekiel taengah BOEIPA ol om rhoe om coeng. Te vaengah BOEPA kut anih soah pahoi tueng.
the word of Jehovah came to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of Jehovah came upon him.
4 Ka sawt vaengah tlangpuei lamkah hlipuei khohli tarha ha pawk. Cingmai kah a thah neh hmai khaw phaa tih a kaepvai neh a laklung kah a aa rhoe mah hmai lung kah hnaibok kah a pang bangla om.
I looked, and look, a stormy wind came out of the north, a great cloud, with flashing lightning, and a brightness around it, and out of its midst as it were glowing metal, out of the midst of the fire.
5 A laklung lamkah te khaw mulhing pali phek coeng tih a mueimae tah hlang phek la om.
Out of its midst came the likeness of four living creatures. This was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man.
6 Tedae khat rhip loh maelhmai pali neh amih khat rhip dongah phae pali om.
And each one had four faces, and each one of them had four wings.
7 Amih kho tah a kho khaw thuem tih amih kho khopha tah saelca kho khopha bangla om. Te vaengah rhohum ngo kah a pang bangla khooi.
Their legs were straight, and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot; and they sparkled like burnished bronze.
8 A phae hmui kah a kut khaw hlang kut bangla om. Amih pali te a vae pali ah khaw a maelhmai neh a phae boeih om.
They had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and the four of them had their faces and their wings thus:
9 A manu neh a la te a phae hum uh tih hoi uh thai pawh. Tekah hlang te a caeh vaengah a maelhmai neh a dannah la dawk pongpa uh.
their wings were joined one to another; they didn't turn when they went; each one went straight forward.
10 Amih maelhmai te hlang maelhmai phek la om. Amih pali te bantang benah sathueng maelhmai la om tih a pli la banvoei benah vaito maelhmai neh a pali la atha maelhmai kap.
As for the likeness 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; the four of them also had the face of an eagle.
11 A maelhmai khaw amah coeng tih a phae te a so la phuel uh. Khat neh khat te sisuk uh rhoi tih a pum te a khuk rhoi.
Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out above. Two wings of each one touched another, and two covered their bodies.
12 Te dongah a maelhmai kah a dannah la rhip cet uh. Mela a om akhaw mueihla te tangrhoeng cet rhoe cet coeng. Te dongah amamih kah a caeh bangla mael uh pawh.
Each one went straight forward: where the spirit would go, they went; they didn't turn when they went.
13 A mueimae tah mulhing phek neh hmai dongkah hmai-alh aka alh bangla, hmaithoi kah a mueimae bangla om. Anih te mulhing lakli ah a pongpa hatah hmai la aa tih hmai lamloh rhaek ha thoeng.
And in the midst of the living creatures was an appearance of 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.
14 Mulhing te a thoeihyet vaengah rhaek kah a mueimae bangla ha mael.
The living creatures darted back and forth, like the appearance of a flash of lightning.
15 Te vaengah mulhing rhoek te khaw a maelhmai pali neh mulhing diklai taengkah diklai dongah lengkho pakhat rhip te khaw kak ka hmuh.
Now as I saw the living creatures, look, there was a wheel on the ground beside each living creature with its four faces.
16 Amih kah moeiboe tah timsuih a pang phek tih amih pali te pakhat phek la om uh. Amih kah mueimae neh a moeiboe tah lengkho laklung ah lengkho aka om phek la om.
And the appearance of the wheels and their work was like a beryl: and the four of them had the same likeness; and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel within a wheel.
17 A vae pali longah a pongpa uh ham khaw cet uh dae a caeh uh bangla mael uh thai pawh.
When they went, they went in their four directions: they didn't turn when they went.
18 Amih te a uen thah tih amih te a rhiim om. A uen te amih pali kah a pang kaepvai ah bae.
As for their rims, they were high and awesome; and the four of them had their rims full of eyes all around.
19 Mulhing rhoek a thoeih uh vaengah a taengkah lengkho te thoeih. Mulhing te diklai dong lamloh a phoh uh vaengah lengkho rhoek khaw phoh uh van.
When the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose.
20 Melam khaw mueihla te a caeh rhoe a caeh ham a om atah mueihla taengla pahoi cet uh van. Mulhing mueihla he lengkho ah a om dongah lengkho khaw amih voeivang ah phoh uh van.
They went in whichever direction the spirit would go, and the wheels rose alongside them because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
21 A caeh ham vaengah thoeih uh tih a pai uh ham vaengah pai uh. Diklai dong lamloh a phoh uh vaengah lengkho loh amih voeivang ah a phoh van. Lengkho khuiah mulhing mueihla om.
When those [the living creatures] moved, these [the wheels] moved; and when those [the living creatures] stood still, and when those [the living creatures] rose from the ground, the wheels rose alongside them because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
22 Mulhing lu sokah te bangyai phek la om. Rhaelnu a pang bangla a rhih om tih amih lu so duela yaal hang.
And over the heads of the living creatures there was the likeness of an expanse, like glittering ice, it was awesome to look upon, stretched out over their heads above.
23 bangyai hmui ah a manu loh a la taengla a phae a phuel te thuem. Amih aka thing rhoi khaw rhip om tih a pum aka dah rhoi te khaw rhip om.
Under the expanse their wings were straight, the one toward the other. And each one had two which covered its body.
24 A phae ol te tui len ol bangla, Tlungthang ol bangla ka yaak. Lambong ol bangla a kawk ol neh khong uh tih a pai daengah a phae te a bai uh.
When they went, I heard the noise of their wings like the noise of great waters, like the voice of Shaddai, a noise of tumult like the noise of an army: when they stood, they let down their wings.
25 Amih te pai tih a phae a hlah vaengah amih lu sokah bangyai so lamloh ol ha thoeng.
There was a voice above the expanse that was over their heads.
26 Amih lu sokah bangyai so te minhum lung kah a mueimae bangla ngolkhoel phek la om. Ngolkhoel mueiloh soah hlang kah mueimae bangla mueiloh om hang bal.
Above the expanse that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone; and on the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man on it above.
27 A cinghen lamloh a so duela a kaepvai te rhohumbok kah a pang neh imkhui hmai kah mueimae bangla ka hmuh. A cinghen lamloh a dang thuk kah a mueimae khaw hmai mueimae bangla a kaepvai ah a aa ka hmuh.
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 Khonal khohnin ah cingmai dongkah pampacung mueimae bangla om. A kaepvai kah a aa mueimae khaw BOEIPA kah thangpomnah mueimae phek ni. Ka hmuh vaengah ka maelhmai dongah ka cungku tih ol a thui ka yaak.
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 glory of Jehovah. When I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice speaking.
