Ezekiel 1
1 Godine tridesete, četvrtoga mjeseca, petoga dana, kad bijah među izgnanicima na rijeci Kebaru, otvoriše se nebesa i ja ugledah božanska viđenja.
And it comes to pass, in the thirtieth year, in the fourth [month], on the fifth of the month, and I [am] in the midst of the expulsion by the river Chebar, the heavens have been opened, and I see visions of God.
2 Petoga dana istoga mjeseca - godine pete otkako odvedoše u izgnanstvo kralja Jojakima -
In the fifth of the month—it is the fifth year of the expulsion of King Jehoiachin—
3 riječ Jahvina dođe Ezekielu, sinu Buzijevu, svećeniku u zemlji kaldejskoj, na rijeci Kebaru. Spusti se na me ruka Jahvina.
the word of YHWH has certainly been to Ezekiel son of Buzi the priest, in the land of the Chaldeans, by the river Chebar, and there is on him there a hand of YHWH.
4 Pogledah, kad ono sa sjevera udario silan vihor, velik oblak, bukteći oganj obavijen sjajem; usred njega, usred ognja, nešto nalik na sjajnu kovinu.
And I look, and behold, a turbulent wind is coming from the north, a great cloud, and fire catching itself, and brightness to it all around, and out of its midst as the color of electrum, out of the midst of the fire.
5 Usred toga nešto kao četiri bića, obličjem slična čovjeku;
And out of its midst [is] a likeness of four living creatures, and this [is] their appearance; a likeness of man [is] to them,
6 svako od njih sa četiri obraza, u svakoga četiri krila.
and each had four faces and each of them had four wings,
7 Noge im ravne, a stopala kao u teleta; sijevahu poput glatke mjedi.
and their feet [are] straight feet, and the sole of their feet [is] as a sole of a calf’s foot, and they are sparkling as the color of bright bronze;
8 Ispod krila imahu na sve četiri strane ruke čovječje. I svako od njih četvero imaše svoj obraz i svoja krila.
and on their four sides [each had] hands of man under their wings; and [each] of the four had their faces and their wings;
9 Krila im se spajahu jedno s drugim. Idući, ne okretahu se: svako se naprijed kretaše.
their wings [are] joining to one another, they do not turn around in their going, they each go straight forward.
10 I u sva četiri bijaše lice čovječje; u sva četiri zdesna lice lavlje; u sva četiri slijeva lice volujsko; i lice orlovsko u sva četiri.
As for the likeness of their faces, [each had] the face of a man, and toward the right the four had the face of a lion, and on the left the four had the face of an ox, and the four had the face of an eagle.
11 Krila im bijahu gore raskriljena. Svako imaše dva krila što se spajahu i dva krila kojim tijelo pokrivahu.
And their faces and their wings dividing from above, of each [are] two joining together, and two are covering their bodies.
12 I svako iđaše samo naprijed. A iđahu onamo kamo ih je duh gonio. I ne okretahu se idući.
And they each go straight forward, to where the Spirit is to go, they go, they do not turn around in their going.
13 A posred tih bića vidjelo se kao neko užareno ugljevlje, kao goruće zublje koje se među njima kretahu; iz ognja sijevaše i munje bljeskahu.
As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearances [are] as coals of fire—burning as the appearance of lamps; it is going up and down between the living creatures, and brightness [is] to the fire, and lightning is going forth out of the fire.
14 Bića trčahu i opet se vraćahu poput munje.
And the living creatures are running, and turning back, as the appearance of the flash.
15 Dok ja promatrah, gle: na zemlji uza svako od četiri bića po jedan točak.
And I see the living creatures, and behold, one wheel [is] in the earth, near the living creatures, at its four faces.
16 Točkovi bijahu slični krizolitu, sva četiri istoga oblika; oblikom i napravom bijahu kao da je jedan točak u drugome.
The appearance of the wheels and their works [is] as the color of beryl, and the four of them had one likeness, and their appearances and their works [are] as it were the wheel in the midst of the wheel.
17 U kretanju mogli su ići u sva četiri smjera a nisu se morali okretati.
On their four sides, in their going they go, they do not turn around in their going.
18 Naplatnice im bijahu visoke, a kad bolje promotrih, gle, na sve strane pune očiju.
As for their rings, they are both high and fearful, and their rings, of the four of them, [are] full of eyes around them.
19 Kad bi bića krenula, krenuli bi s njima i točkovi; kad bi se bića sa tla podigla, i točkovi se podizahu.
And in the going of the living creatures, the wheels go beside them, and in the living creatures being lifted up from off the earth, the wheels are lifted up.
20 Kuda ih je duh gonio, onuda se kretahu, a zajedno se s njima i točkovi podizali, jer duh bića bijaše u točkovima.
To where the Spirit is to go, they go, there the Spirit [is] to go, and the wheels are lifted up alongside them, for a living spirit [is] in the wheels.
21 Pa kad su bića krenula, i točkovi bi krenuli, a kad bi se ona zaustavila, ustavljali se i točkovi; kad se ona sa tla dizahu, i točkovi se s njima podizahu, jer duh bića bijaše u točkovima.
In their going, they go; and in their standing, they stand; and in their being lifted up from off the earth, the wheels are lifted up alongside them; for a living spirit [is] in the wheels.
22 Nad glavama bića bijaše nešto kao svod nebeski, nalik na sjajan prozirac, uzdignut nad njihovim glavama.
And over the heads of the living creatures—a likeness of an expanse, as the color of the fearful ice, stretched out over their heads from above.
23 A pod svodom raskriljena krila, jedno prema drugome: svakome po dva krila pokrivahu tijelo.
And under the expanse their wings [are] straight, one toward [its] sister; two [wings] of each are covering them, and two [wings] of each are covering their bodies.
24 Čuh lepet njihovih krila kao huk velikih voda, kao glas Svesilnog, kao silan vihor, kao graju u taboru. Kad bi se bića zaustavila, spustila bi krila.
And I hear the noise of their wings, as the noise of many waters, as the noise of the Mighty One, in their going—the noise of tumult, as the noise of a camp, in their standing they let their wings fall.
25 Sa svoda nad njihovim glavama čula se grmljavina.
And there is a voice from above the expanse, that [is] above their head: in their standing they let their wings fall.
26 Ispod svoda nad njihovim glavama bijaše nešto kao kamen safir, poput prijestolja: na tom kao prijestolju, gore na njemu, kao neki čovjek.
And above the expanse that [is] over their head, as an appearance of a sapphire stone, [is] the likeness of a throne, and on the likeness of the throne a likeness, as the appearance of man on it from above.
27 I vidjeh kao sjajnu kovinu, iznutra i uokolo kao oganj; od njegovih bokova naviše i od njegovih bokova naniže nešto poput ognja i blijeska na sve strane.
And I see as the color of electrum, as the appearance of fire all around within it, from the appearance of His loins and upward; and from the appearance of His loins and downward, I have seen as the appearance of fire, and brightness [is] all around Him.
28 Taj blijesak na sve strane bijaše poput duge što se za kišnih dana javlja u oblaku. To bijaše nešto kao slava Jahvina. Vidjeh, padoh ničice i čuh glas koji mi govoraše.
As the appearance of the bow that is in a cloud in a day of rain, so [is] the appearance of the brightness all around.
