< Ezekiel 1 >

1 And it happened that, in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth of the month, when I was in the midst of the captives beside the river Chebar, the heavens were opened, and I saw the visions of God.
Iti maikalima nga aldaw, ti maikapat a bulan, iti maikatallopulo a tawen, addaak idi iti igid ti Karayan Kebar a makipagnanaed kadagiti naitalaw kas balud. Naglukat ti langit, ket nakakitaak iti sirmata manipud iti Dios!
2 On the fifth of the month, the same is the fifth year of the transmigration of king Joachin,
Iti maikalima nga aldaw iti dayta a bulan—isu ti maikalima a tawen a pannakaitalaw ni ari Jehoyakin a kas balud,
3 the word of the Lord came to Ezekiel, a priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans, next to the river Chebar. And the hand of the Lord was over him there.
dimteng ti sao ni Yahweh nga addaan pannakabalin kenni Ezekiel a padi, a putot a lalaki ni Busi, iti daga dagiti Caldeo iti igid ti Karayan Kebar; immay kenkuana sadiay ti pannakabalin ni Yahweh.
4 And I saw, and behold, a whirlwind arrived from the north. And a great cloud, wrapped in fire and brightness, was all around it. And from its midst, that is, from the midst of the fire, there was something with the appearance of amber.
Kalpasanna, kimmitaak ket adda alipugpog a naggapu iti amianan—maysa a napuskol nga ulep nga adda aggilgilap nga apuy iti tengnga daytoy ket kinaraniag ti mangliklikmut iti daytoy kasta met ti tengnga daytoy, ket ti apuy iti tengnga ti ulep ket kasla maris ti bronse.
5 And in its midst, there was the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: the likeness of a man was in them.
Iti tengnga ti alipugpog ket adda kaas-asping iti uppat a sibibiag a parsua. Kastoy ti langada: kasla tao ti langada,
6 Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings.
ngem tunggal maysa kadakuada ket addaan iti uppat a rupa, ken tunggal maysa kadagiti parsua ket addaan iti uppat a payak.
7 Their feet were straight feet, and the sole of their foot was like the sole of the foot of a calf, and they sparkled with the appearance of glowing brass.
Nalinteg dagiti sakada, ngem dagiti dapanda ket kasla kuko ti baka a sumilapsilap a kas iti napasileng a bronse.
8 And they had the hands of a man under their wings on the four sides. And they had faces with the wings on the four sides.
Ket addaanda pay iti kasla ima ti tao iti sirok dagiti payakda nga adda kadagiti uppat a sikiganda. Kadagitoy nga uppat, kastoy ti langa dagiti rupa ken payakda:
9 And their wings were joined to one another. They did not turn as they went. Instead, each one advanced before his face.
agsisinnagid ti murdong dagiti payakda, ket saanda nga agpusipos no kasta nga aggunayda; ngem ketdi, mapanda lattan iti kayatda a pagturongan.
10 But as for the likeness of their face, there was the face of a man, and the face of a lion on the right of each of the four, then the face of an ox on the left of each of the four, and the face of an eagle above each of the four.
Ti langa dagiti rupada ket kasla rupa ti tao, sumaruno iti makannawan ket rupa ti leon, sumaruno iti makannigid ket rupa ti baka, ken ti naudi ket rupa ti agila.
11 Their faces and their wings were extended above: two wings of each one were joined together, and two covered their bodies.
Kasta ti langa dagiti rupada, ken naiyukrad dagiti payakda iti ngato isu a tunggal agparis a payak dagiti parsua ket simmagid iti payak ti maysa pay a parsua, ken adda pay agparis a payak a nangakkob kadagiti bagida.
12 And each one of them advanced before his face. Wherever the impetus of the spirit was to go, there they went. And they did not turn as they advanced.
Agpapada ti turturongen dagiti uppat a parsua, isu a sadinoman ti pangiturongan ti Espiritu kadakuada, mapanda a saan a masapul nga agpusiposda.
13 And as for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like that of burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps. This was the vision dashing in the midst of the living creatures, a bright fire, with lightning going forth from the fire.
Kasla sumsumged a beggang wenno aluten dagiti sibibiag a parsua; adda pay gumilgil-ayab nga apuy nga agalis-alis kadagiti parsua, ken agkanabsiit ti kimat.
14 And the living creatures went and returned like flashes of lightning.
Nakaparpardas ti panagsubli-subli dagiti sibibiag a parsua a kaslada la kimat!
15 And as I beheld the living creatures, there appeared above the earth, next to the living creatures, one wheel having four faces.
Ket minatmatak dagiti sibibiag a parsua; adda maysa a pilid iti daga iti sikigan ti tunggal sibibiag a parsua.
16 And the appearance of the wheels and their work was like the appearance of the sea. And each of the four were similar to one another. And their appearance and work was like a wheel in the center of a wheel.
Kastoy ti langa ken pannakaaramid dagiti pilid: tunggal pilid ket kasla napateg a bato, ken agpapada dagitoy nga uppat; kasla agkikinnamang dagiti pilid.
17 Going forth, they went by means of their four parts. And they did not turn as they went.
No kasta nga umakar dagiti pilid, agturong dagitoy iti aniaman a direksion a saanda nga agpusipos.
18 Also, the size and height and appearance of the wheels was dreadful. And the entire body was full of eyes all around each of the four.
Maipapan kadagiti rueda, nangangato ken nakabutbuteng dagitoy, ta pasig a mata ti naipalawlaw kadagiti rueda!
19 And when the living creatures advanced, the wheels advanced together with them. And when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels, too, were lifted up at the same time.
No kasta nga umakar dagiti sibibiag a parsua, umakar met dagiti pilid nga adda iti sikiganda. No agpangato dagiti sibibiag a parsua manipud iti daga, agpangato met dagiti pilid.
20 Wherever the spirit went, as the spirit was going forth to that place, the wheels, too, were lifted up together, so as to follow them. For the spirit of life was in the wheels.
Sadinoman a pagturongan ti Espiritu, idiay met ti turongen dagiti sibibiag a parsua; agpangato dagiti pilid nga adda iti sikigan ti tunggal parsua, ta ti espiritu dagiti sibibiag a parsua ket adda kadagiti pilid.
21 When going forth, they went forth, and when standing still, they stood still. And when they were lifted up from the earth, the wheels, too, were lifted up together, so as to follow them. For the spirit of life was in the wheels.
No kasta nga umakar dagiti parsua, umakar met dagiti pilid; ket no agsardeng dagiti parsua, agsardeng met dagiti pilid; no agpangato dagiti parsua manipud iti daga, agpangato met dagiti pilid nga adda kadagiti sikiganda, agsipud ta ti espiritu dagiti sibibiag a parsua ket adda kadagiti pilid.
22 And above the heads of the living creatures was the likeness of a firmament: similar to crystal, but dreadful to behold, and extending over their heads from above.
Iti ngatoen ti ulo dagiti sibibiag a parsua ket adda nalawa a kasla atep; kasla rumimatrimat a kristal daytoy a naiyukrad iti ngatoen dagiti uloda.
23 And their wings were straight under the firmament, one toward the other. One of them was covered by two wings on his body, and the other was covered similarly.
Iti sirok ti pimmag-ong nga atep, naukrad ti tunggal payak dagiti parsua ken naisagid ti murdong ti maysa pay a paris a payak ti parsua. Tunggal maysa kadagiti sibibiag a parsua ket addaan met iti agparis a payak a mangabbong kadagiti bagida—tunggal parsua ket adda agparis a payak a mangabbong iti bagina.
24 And I heard the sound of their wings, like the sound of many waters, like the sound of the sublime God. When they walked, it was like the sound of a multitude, like the sound of an army. And when they stood still, their wings were let down.
Ket nangngegko ti uni dagiti payakda! Kasla uni ti dumaranudor a danum. Kasla timek ti Mannakabalin-amin. No kasta nga umakarda ket kasla adda napigsa a tudo. Kasla arimpadek daytoy ti armada. No kasta nga agsardengda, ibabada dagiti payakda.
25 For when a voice came from above the firmament, which was over their heads, they stood still, and they put down their wings.
Ket adda timek a nagtaud iti ngatoen ti kasla atep iti ngatoen dagiti uloda no kasta nga agsardengda ken ibabada dagiti payakda.
26 And above the firmament, which was suspended over their heads, there was the likeness of a throne, with the appearance of the sapphire stone. And over the likeness of the throne, there was a likeness with the appearance of a man above it.
Iti ngato ti kasla atep nga adda iti ngatoen ti ulo dagiti sibibiag a parsua ket adda trono a kasla safiro, ket iti trono, adda maysa nga aglanglanga a tao.
27 And I saw something with the appearance of amber, with the likeness of fire within it and all around it. And from his waist and upward, and from his waist downward, I saw something with the appearance of fire shining all around.
Nakitak ti maysa a banag a kasla agbegbeggang a landok nga adda apuy iti unegna manipud iti ngatoen ti siketna; manipud iti baba ti siketna ket adda iti kasla apuy ken kinaraniag ti adda iti aglawlaw daytoy.
28 There was the appearance of the rainbow, as when it is in a cloud on a rainy day. This was the appearance of the splendor on every side.
Kasla bullalayaw daytoy nga agparparang iti ulep iti tiempo ti panagtutudo—ken kasla naraniag a silaw ti mangliklikmut iti daytoy. Daytoy a nagparang ket kasla iti dayag ni Yahweh. Idi nakitak daytoy, nagpaklebak, ket adda timek a nangngegko.
