< Ezekiel 1 >

1 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!
In the thirtieth year, the fourth month, and the fifth day of the month, it came about that I was living among the captives by the Kebar Canal. The heavens opened, and I saw visions of God.
2 Iti maikalima nga aldaw iti dayta a bulan—isu ti maikalima a tawen a pannakaitalaw ni ari Jehoyakin a kas balud,
On the fifth day of that month—it was the fifth year of the exile of King Jehoiachin—
3 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.
the word of Yahweh came to Ezekiel son of Buzi the priest, in the land of the Chaldeans by the Kebar Canal, and the hand of Yahweh was upon him there.
4 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.
Then I looked, and there was a windstorm coming from the north; a great cloud with fire flashing within it and brightness surrounding it and inside of it, and the fire was the color of amber inside the cloud.
5 Iti tengnga ti alipugpog ket adda kaas-asping iti uppat a sibibiag a parsua. Kastoy ti langada: kasla tao ti langada,
In the middle was the likeness of four living creatures. This was their appearance: They had the likeness of a man,
6 ngem tunggal maysa kadakuada ket addaan iti uppat a rupa, ken tunggal maysa kadagiti parsua ket addaan iti uppat a payak.
but they had four faces each, and each of the creatures had four wings.
7 Nalinteg dagiti sakada, ngem dagiti dapanda ket kasla kuko ti baka a sumilapsilap a kas iti napasileng a bronse.
Their legs were straight, but the soles of their feet were like the hooves of a calf that shone like polished bronze.
8 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:
Yet they had human hands under their wings on all four sides. For all four, their faces and wings were like this:
9 agsisinnagid ti murdong dagiti payakda, ket saanda nga agpusipos no kasta nga aggunayda; ngem ketdi, mapanda lattan iti kayatda a pagturongan.
their wings were touching the wings of the next creature, and they did not turn as they went; instead, each one went straight forward.
10 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.
The likeness of their faces was like the face of a man. The four of them had the face of a lion to the right side, and the four of them had the face of an ox on the left side. They four had also the face of an eagle.
11 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.
Their faces were like that, and their wings were spread out above, so that each creature had a pair of wings that touched another creature's wing, and also a pair of wings that covered their bodies.
12 Agpapada ti turturongen dagiti uppat a parsua, isu a sadinoman ti pangiturongan ti Espiritu kadakuada, mapanda a saan a masapul nga agpusiposda.
Each went straight forward, so that wherever the Spirit directed them to go, they went without turning.
13 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.
As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches; bright fire also moved about among the creatures, and there were flashes of lightning.
14 Nakaparpardas ti panagsubli-subli dagiti sibibiag a parsua a kaslada la kimat!
The living creatures were moving swiftly back and forth, and they had the appearance of lightning!
15 Ket minatmatak dagiti sibibiag a parsua; adda maysa a pilid iti daga iti sikigan ti tunggal sibibiag a parsua.
Then I looked at the living creatures; and I saw one wheel on the ground beside each of living creatures with its four faces.
16 Kastoy ti langa ken pannakaaramid dagiti pilid: tunggal pilid ket kasla napateg a bato, ken agpapada dagitoy nga uppat; kasla agkikinnamang dagiti pilid.
This was the appearance and structure of the wheels: Each wheel was like beryl, and the four had the same likeness; their appearance and structure was like a wheel intersecting another wheel.
17 No kasta nga umakar dagiti pilid, agturong dagitoy iti aniaman a direksion a saanda nga agpusipos.
As they moved, they went in any of their four directions, without turning as they went.
18 Maipapan kadagiti rueda, nangangato ken nakabutbuteng dagitoy, ta pasig a mata ti naipalawlaw kadagiti rueda!
As for their rims, they were high and fearsome, for the rims were full of eyes round about.
19 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.
Whenever the living creatures moved, the wheels moved beside them. When the living creatures rose up from the earth, the wheels also rose up.
20 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.
Wherever the Spirit would go, they went, and the wheels rose up beside them, for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
21 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.
Whenever the creatures moved, the wheels also moved; and when the creatures stood still, the wheels stood still; when the creatures rose up from the earth, the wheels rose up beside them, because the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
22 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.
Over the heads of the living creatures was the likeness of an expansive dome; it looked like awe-inspiring crystal stretched out over their heads above.
23 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.
Beneath the dome, each one of the creature's wings stretched out straight and touched another creature's wings. Each of the living creatures also had a pair to cover themselves; each had a pair to cover his own body.
24 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.
Then I heard the sound of their wings. Like the noise of many waters. Like the voice of the Almighty whenever they moved. Like the sound of a rainstorm. Like the sound of an army. Whenever they stood still, they lowered their wings.
25 Ket adda timek a nagtaud iti ngatoen ti kasla atep iti ngatoen dagiti uloda no kasta nga agsardengda ken ibabada dagiti payakda.
A voice came from above the dome over their heads whenever they stood still and lowered their wings.
26 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.
Above the dome over their heads was the likeness of a throne that was like the appearance of a sapphire stone, and on the likeness of the throne was a likeness like the appearance of a man.
27 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.
I saw a figure with the appearance of glowing metal with fire in it from the appearance of his hips up; I saw from the appearance of his hips downward the appearance of fire and brightness all around.
28 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.
Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day was the appearance of the bright light surrounding it. It was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Yahweh. When I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice speaking.
