1 तिसौं वर्षको चौथो महिनाको पाँचौं दिनमा जब म निर्वासितसँग कबार नहरको किनारमा बसिरहँदा यस्‍तो भयो । आकाश खोलियो र मैले परमेश्‍वरका दर्शनहरू देखें ।
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 त्‍यस महिनाको पाँचौं दिनमा— यहोयाकीन राजा निर्वासित भएको यो पाँचौं वर्ष थियो—
On the fifth day of that month—it was the fifth year of the exile of King Jehoiachin—
3 कल्दीहरूको देशमा कबार नहरको किनारमा परमप्रभुको वचन बूजीको छोरो इजकिएल पुजारीकहाँ आयो, र त्‍यहाँ परमप्रभुको हात तिनीमाथि थियो ।
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 तब मैले हेरें, र उत्तरबाट आँधीबेहरी आइरहेको थियो । एउटा विशाल बादल, बिजुलीको चमकसमेत, अनि त्‍यसको वरिपरि र भित्र चहकिलो उज्‍यालो थियो, र त्‍यस आगोको माझ जल्‍दो पहेंलो धातुझैं थियो ।
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 माझमा चार जीवित प्राणीहरूजस्ता थिए । तिनीहरूका स्‍वरूप यस्‍तो थियोः तिनीहरू मानिसको स्‍वरूपजस्‍ता थिए,
In the middle was the likeness of four living creatures. This was their appearance: They had the likeness of a man,
6 तर तिनीहरू हरेकका चारवटा मुहार थिए, र हरेकका प्राणीका चारवटा पखेटा थिए ।
but they had four faces each, and each of the creatures had four wings.
7 तिनीहरूका गोडा सीधा थिए, तर तिनीहरूका खुट्टा बाछाका खुरजस्‍ता थिए जो टल्‍काइराखेका काँसाजस्‍तै टल्‍कन्‍थे ।
Their legs were straight, but the soles of their feet were like the hooves of a calf that shone like polished bronze.
8 तापनि तिनीहरूका पखेटामुनि चारैतिर मानिसका हातहरू थिए । ती चारैका मुहार र पखेटाहरू यस्ता थिएः
Yet they had human hands under their wings on all four sides. For all four, their faces and wings were like this:
9 एउटाको पखेटाले अर्काको पखेटालाई छोएको थियो, कतै जाँदा तिनीहरू फर्कंदैन थिए । बरु, हरेक सोझै अगाडि हिंड्‌थ्‍यो ।
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 तिनीहरूका मुहार मानिसको झैं थियो । ती चारैको दाहिनेपट्टिको मुहार सिंहको जस्तो र देब्रेपट्टिको अनुहारचाहिं गोरुको जस्तो थियो । ती चारैवटाको चिलको जस्तो अनुहार पनि थियो ।
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 तिनीहरूका मुहार यस्‍तै थिए, र तिनीहरूका पखेटाचाहिं बाहिर मास्‍तिर फैलिएका थिए । हरेकका दुईवटा पखेटाले चाहिं एउटाले अर्काको पखेटालाई छोएका थिए, र दुईवटा पखेटाले आ-आफ्‍ना शरीर ढाकेका थिए ।
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 तिनीहरू हरेक सोझै हिंड्‌थे, ताकि आत्‍माले जता-जता लग्यो तिनीहरू त्‍यतै जान्‍थे, तिनीहरू यताउता नफर्की हिंड्‌थे ।
Each went straight forward, so that wherever the Spirit directed them to go, they went without turning.
13 ती जीवित प्राणीहरूको आकृति जलिरहेको आगोको भुङ्‌ग्रोजस्तो, राँकोहरूजस्‍ता थिए । ती प्राणीहरूको बिचमा चम्किलो आगो यताउता जान्थ्यो, र त्‍यहाँ बिजुलीका चमकहरू थिए ।
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 ती जीवित प्राणीहरू तिव्र गतिले अघि पछि जान्थे, र तिनीहरू बिजुलीको चमकजस्ता देखिन्‍थे ।
The living creatures were moving swiftly back and forth, and they had the appearance of lightning!
15 तब मैले ती जीवित प्राणीहरूलाई हेरें र ती चारै मुहार भएका हरेक प्राणीको छेउमा मैले जमिनमा एउटा पाङ्‌ग्रा देखें ।
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 ती पाङ्‌ग्राहरूका आकार र बनावट यस्‍ता थिएः हरेक पाङ्ग्रा पीतमणिजस्‍तै थिए, र ती चारैवटा उस्‍तै किसिमका थिए । एउटा पाङ्‌ग्रो अर्को पाङ्‌ग्रोमा खप्टिएको भएझैं थियो ।
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 जसै ती हलचल गर्थे, तब कतै नफर्की ती चारैतिर हिंड्‌थे ।
As they moved, they went in any of their four directions, without turning as they went.
18 तिनीहरूका घेरा अल्‍गा र डरलाग्‍दा थिए, किनकि ती चारै घेरा आँखाहरूले भरिएका थिए ।
As for their rims, they were high and fearsome, for the rims were full of eyes round about.
19 जब ती जीवित प्राणीहरू चलहल गर्थे, तब ती पाङ्‌ग्राहरू पनि साथसाथै हिंड्‌थे । जब ती जीवित प्राणीहरू जमिनबाट माथि उठ्‌थे, तब ती पाङ्‌ग्राहरू पनि उठ्‌थे ।
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 आत्‍मा जता जानुहुन्‍थ्‍यो तिनीहरू त्‍यतै जान्‍थे, र ती पाङ्‌ग्राहरू पनि तिनीहरूसँगै उठ्थे, किनकि ती जीवित प्राणीहरूका आत्‍मा तिनै पाङ्‌ग्रामा थिए ।
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 जब ती प्राणीहरू चलहल गर्थे, तब पाङ्ग्राहरू पनि चलहल गर्थे । अनि जब ती प्राणीहरू ठिङ्ग उभिन्‍थे, तब ती पाङ्ग्राहरू पनि ठिङ्ग उभिन्‍थे । ती प्राणीहरू जमिनबाट उठ्‌दा यी पाङ्‌ग्रा पनि तिनीहरूसँगै उठेर जान्‍थे, किनभने ती जीवित प्राणीहरूका आत्‍मा ती पाङ्‌ग्रामा नै थिए ।
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 ती जीवित प्राणीहरूका शिरको मास्‍तिर विशाल अर्धगोलाकार क्षेत्रजस्‍तै थियो । त्यो तिनीहरूको शिरमाथिबाट फैलिएको भयावह स्फटिकझैं देखिन्थ्यो ।
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 त्‍यो विशाल अर्धगोलाकार क्षेत्र मुन्‍तिर ती हरेक प्राणीका पखेटाहरू सोझै फैलिएका थिए र एउटाको पखेटाले अर्काको पखेटालाई छुन्‍थ्‍यो । हरेक जीवित प्राणीका आफूलाई ढाक्‍ने एकजोडी पखेटा थिए । हरेकसित आफूलाई ढाक्‍ने जोडी थियो ।
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 तब मैले तिनीहरूका पखेटाको आवाज सुनें । त्यो आवाज धेरै पानीको हल्‍लाजस्तै थियो । जब तिनीहरू हलचल गर्थे, तब सर्वशक्तिमान्‌को आवाजजस्तो हुन्‍थ्‍यो । आँधीको वर्षाजस्‍तो थियो । सेनाको आवाजजस्तो थियो । जब तिनीहरू ठिङ्ग उभिन्‍थे, तब तिनीहरूले आफ्‍ना पखेटा तल झार्थे ।
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 जब तिनीहरू ठिङ्ग उभिए र आफ्‍ना पखेटा तल झारे, तब तिनीहरूका शिरहरू मास्‍तिरको विशाल अर्धगोलाकार क्षेत्रबाट एउटा आवाज आयो ।
A voice came from above the dome over their heads whenever they stood still and lowered their wings.
26 तिनीहरू शिरमाथिका विशाल अर्धगोलाकार क्षेत्रमाथि एउटा सिंहासनजस्‍तो थियो जुन हेर्दा त्‍यो नीलमणीजस्‍तै देखिन्‍थ्‍यो, र त्‍यो सिंहासनजस्‍तोमा बस्‍नेको स्‍वरूप मानिसको जस्‍तो थियो ।
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 मैले उहाँको कम्‍मरदेखि मास्‍तिर जल्‍दो धातुजस्‍तै भएको एउटा आकृति देखें । उहाँको कम्‍मरदेखि मुन्‍तिरको आकृति पनि आगोजस्‍तै देखियो, र उहाँको वरिपरी चहकिलो उज्‍यालोले घेरिराखेको थियो ।
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 उहाँको वरिपरीको चम्किलो उज्यालो पानी परेको दिन बादलमा देखिने इन्‍द्रेनीको आकारझैं उज्‍ज्‍वल थियो । त्‍यो परमप्रभुका महिमासँग मिल्दो दोखिन्‍थ्‍यो । जब मैले त्‍यो देखें तब म घोप्‍टो परें, र एउटा बोलिरहेको आवाज मैले सुनें ।
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.
