< 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.
Године тридесете, месеца четвртог, петог дана, кад бејах међу робљем на реци Хевару, отворише се небеса, и видех утваре Божје.
2 In the fifth [day] of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin’s captivity,
Петог дана тог месеца, пете године од како се зароби цар Јоахин,
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.
Дође реч Господња Језекиљу сину Вузијевом, свештенику, у земљи халдејској на реци Хевару, и онде дође рука Господња нада њ.
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.
И видех, и гле, силан ветар долажаше од севера, и велик облак и огањ који се разгореваше, и око њега светлост, а исред огња као јака светлост;
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;
Исред њега још као четири животиње, које на очи беху налик на човека;
6 and every one had four faces, and every one of them had four wings.
И у сваке беху четири лица, и четири крила у сваке;
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 burnished brass.
И ноге им беху праве, а у стопалу беху им ноге као у телета; и севаху као углађена бронза.
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]:
И руке им беху човечје под крилима над четири стране, и лица им и крила беху на четири стране.
9 their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward.
Састављена им беху крила једно с другим; и не окретаху се идући, него свака иђаше на према се.
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.
И лице беше у све четири лице човечје и лице лавово с десне стране, а с леве стране лице волујско и лице орлово у све четири.
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.
И лица им и крила беху раздељена озго; у сваке се два крила састављаху једно с другим, а два покриваху им тело.
12 And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; they turned not when they went.
И свака иђаше право на према се; иђаху куда дух иђаше, и не окретаху се идући.
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.
И на очи беху те животиње као живо угљевље, гораху на очи као свеће; тај огањ пролажаше између животиња и светљаше се, и из огња излажаше муња.
14 And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.
И животиње трчаху и враћаху се као муња.
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.
И кад гледах животиње, гле, точак један беше на земљи уза сваку животињу према четири лица њихова.
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.
Обличјем и направом беху точкови као боје хрисолитове, и сва четири беху једнака, и обличјем и направом беху као да је један точак у другом.
17 When they went, they went in their four directions: they turned not when they went.
Кад иђаху, иђаху сва четири сваки на своју страну, и идући не скретаху.
18 As for their rims, they were high and dreadful; and they four had their rims full of eyes round about.
И наплаци им беху високи страхота; и беху наплаци пуни очију унаоколо у сва четири.
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.
И кад иђаху животиње, иђаху и точкови уз њих; и кад се животиње подизаху од земље, подизаху се и точкови.
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.
Куда дух иђаше, онамо иђаху, и подизаху се точкови према њима, јер дух животињски беше у точковима.
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.
Кад оне иђаху, иђаху и они; и кад оне стајаху, стајаху и они; и кад се оне подизаху од земље, подизаху се и точкови према њима, јер дух животињски беше у точковима.
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.
А над главама животињама беше као небо, по виђењу као кристал, страшно, разастрто озго, над главама њиховим.
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.
А под тим небом беху им крила пружена, једно према другом, а два крила свакој покриваху тело.
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.
И чух хуку крила њихових кад иђаху као да беше хука велике воде, као глас Свемогућег и као граја у логору; и кад стајаху, спуштаху крила.
25 And there was a voice above the firmament that was over their heads: when they stood, they let down their wings.
И кад ставши спуштаху крила, чујаше се глас озго из неба, које беше над главама њиховим.
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.
И озго на оном небу што им беше над главама, беше као престо, по виђењу као камен сафир, и на престолу беше по обличју као човек.
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.
И видех као јаку светлост, и у њој унутра као огањ наоколо, од бедара горе, а од бедара доле видех као огањ и светлост око њега.
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.
Као дуга у облаку кад је киша, таква на очи беше светлост унаоколо. То беше виђење славе Божје на очима; и кад видех, падох на лице своје, и чух глас Некога који говораше.
