Ezekiel 1
1 It came to passe in the thirtieth yere in the fourth moneth, and in the fift day of the moneth (as I was among the captiues by the riuer Chebar) that the heauens were opened and I sawe visions of GOD.
當三十年四月初五日，以西結在迦巴魯河邊被擄的人中，天就開了，得見上帝的異象。
2 In the fift day of the moneth (which was the fift yere of King Ioiachins captiuitie)
正是約雅斤王被擄去第五年四月初五日，
3 The word of the Lord came vnto Ezekiel the Priest, the sonne of Buzi, in the lande of the Caldeans, by the riuer Chebar, where the hande of the Lord was vpon him.
在迦勒底人之地、迦巴魯河邊，耶和華的話特特臨到布西的兒子祭司以西結；耶和華的靈降在他身上。
4 And I looked, and beholde, a whirlewinde came out of the North, a great cloude and a fire wrapped about it, and a brightnesse was about it, and in the middes thereof, to wit, in the middes of the fire came out as the likenesse of amber.
我觀看，見狂風從北方颳來，隨着有一朵包括閃爍火的大雲，周圍有光輝；從其中的火內發出好像光耀的精金；
5 Also out of the middes therof came the likenesse of foure beastes, and this was their forme: they had the appearance of a man.
又從其中顯出四個活物的形像來。他們的形狀是這樣：有人的形像，
6 And euery one had foure faces, and euery one had foure wings.
各有四個臉面，四個翅膀。
7 And their feete were streight feete, and the sole of their feete was like the sole of a calues foote, and they sparkled like the appearance of bright brasse.
他們的腿是直的，腳掌好像牛犢之蹄，都燦爛如光明的銅。
8 And the handes of a man came out from vnder their wings in the foure parts of them, and they foure had their faces, and their wings.
在四面的翅膀以下有人的手。這四個活物的臉和翅膀乃是這樣：
9 They where ioyned by their wings one to another, and when they went forth, they returned not, but euery one went streight forward.
翅膀彼此相接，行走並不轉身，俱各直往前行。
10 And the similitude of their faces was as the face of a man: and they foure had the face of a lyon on the right side, and they foure had the face of a bullocke on the left side: they foure also had the face of an eagle.
至於臉的形像：前面各有人的臉，右面各有獅子的臉，左面各有牛的臉，後面各有鷹的臉。
11 Thus were their faces: but their wings were spred out aboue: two wings of euery one were ioined one to another, and two couered their bodies.
各展開上邊的兩個翅膀相接，各以下邊的兩個翅膀遮體。
12 And euery one went streight forward: they went whither their spirit led them, and they returned not when they went forth.
他們俱各直往前行。靈往哪裏去，他們就往那裏去，行走並不轉身。
13 The similitude also of the beasts, and their appearance was like burning coles of fire, and like the appearance of lampes: for the fire ran among the beastes, and the fire gaue a glister, and out of the fire there went lightning.
至於四活物的形像，就如燒着火炭的形狀，又如火把的形狀。火在四活物中間上去下來，這火有光輝，從火中發出閃電。
14 And the beastes ranne, and returned like vnto lightning.
這活物往來奔走，好像電光一閃。
15 Nowe as I behelde the beastes, beholde, a wheele appeared vpon the earth by the beastes, hauing foure faces.
我正觀看活物的時候，見活物的臉旁各有一輪在地上。
16 The facion of the wheeles and their worke was like vnto a chrysolite: and they foure had one forme, and their facion, and their worke was as one wheele in another wheele.
輪的形狀和顏色好像水蒼玉。四輪都是一個樣式，形狀和作法好像輪中套輪。
17 Whe they went, they went vpon their foure sides, and they returned not when they went.
輪行走的時候，向四方都能直行，並不掉轉。
18 They had also rings, and height, and were fearefull to beholde, and their rings were full of eyes, round about them foure.
至於輪輞，高而可畏；四個輪輞周圍滿有眼睛。
19 And when the beastes went, the wheeles went with them: and when the beasts were lift vp from the earth, the wheeles were lift vp.
活物行走，輪也在旁邊行走；活物從地上升，輪也都上升。
20 Whither the spirit led them, they went, and thither did the spirite of the wheeles leade them, and the wheeles were lifted vp besides them: for the spirit of the beastes was in the wheeles.
靈往哪裏去，活物就往那裏去；活物上升，輪也在活物旁邊上升，因為活物的靈在輪中。
21 When the beastes went, they went, and when they stoode, they stoode, and when they were lifted vp from the earth, the wheeles were lifted vp besides them: for the spirite of the beastes was in the wheeles.
那些行走，這些也行走；那些站住，這些也站住；那些從地上升，輪也在旁邊上升，因為活物的靈在輪中。
22 And the similitude of the firmament vpon the heads of the beasts was wonderfull, like vnto chrystall, spred ouer their heads aboue.
活物的頭以上有穹蒼的形像，看着像可畏的水晶，鋪張在活物的頭以上。
23 And vnder the firmament were their wings streight, the one toward the other: every one had two, which couered the, and euery one had two, which couered their bodies.
穹蒼以下，活物的翅膀直張，彼此相對；每活物有兩個翅膀遮體。
24 And when they went foorth, I heard the noyse of their wings, like the noyse of great waters, and as the voyce of the Almightie, euen the voyce of speach, as the noyse of an host: and when they stood, they let downe their wings.
活物行走的時候，我聽見翅膀的響聲，像大水的聲音，像全能者的聲音，也像軍隊鬨嚷的聲音。活物站住的時候，便將翅膀垂下。
25 And there was a voyce from the firmament, that was ouer their heads, when they stoode, and had let downe their wings.
在他們頭以上的穹蒼之上有聲音。他們站住的時候，便將翅膀垂下。
26 And aboue the firmament that was ouer their heads, was the facion of a throne like vnto a saphir stone, and vpon the similitude of the throne was by appearance, as the similitude of a man aboue vpon it.
在他們頭以上的穹蒼之上有寶座的形像，彷彿藍寶石；在寶座形像以上有彷彿人的形狀。
27 And I sawe as the appearance of amber, and as the similitude of fire round about within it to looke to, euen from his loynes vpwarde: and to looke to, euen from his loynes downewarde, I sawe as a likenesse of fire, and brightnesse round about it.
我見從他腰以上有彷彿光耀的精金，周圍都有火的形狀，又見從他腰以下有彷彿火的形狀，周圍也有光輝。
28 As the likenesse of the bowe, that is in the cloude in the day of raine, so was the appearance of the light round about. This was the appearance of the similitude of the glorie of the Lord: and when I sawe it, I fell vpon my face, and I heard a voyce of one that spake.
下雨的日子，雲中虹的形狀怎樣，周圍光輝的形狀也是怎樣。 這就是耶和華榮耀的形像。我一看見就俯伏在地，又聽見一位說話的聲音。
