¹以西结见异象

¹And it cometh to pass, in the thirtieth year, in the fourth [month], in the fifth of the month, and I [am] in the midst of the Removed by the river Chebar, the heavens have been opened, and I see visions of God.

²（当天是约雅斤王被掳后第五年四月五日。

²In the fifth of the month — it is the fifth year of the removal of the king Jehoiachin —

³在迦勒底人的地方，迦巴鲁河边，耶和华的话确实临到布西的儿子以西结祭司。耶和华的手在那里临到他身上。）

³hath the word of Jehovah certainly been unto Ezekiel son of Buzi the priest, in the land of the Chaldeans, by the river Chebar, and there is on him there a hand of Jehovah.

⁴四个活物我观望，看见有狂风从北方刮来，并有一块闪耀着火焰的很大的云，云的周围有光芒，在云中的火焰里，好像有发光的金属。

⁴And I look, and lo, a tempestuous wind is coming from the north, a great cloud, and fire catching itself, and brightness to it round about, and out of its midst as the colour of copper, out of the midst of the fire.

⁵在火中又有四个活物的形状，它们的样子是这样：它们都有人的形状。

⁵And out of its midst [is] a likeness of four living creatures, and this [is] their appearance; a likeness of man [is] to them,

⁶它们各有四个脸孔、四个翅膀。

⁶and four faces [are] to each, and four wings [are] to each of them,

⁷它们的腿是直的，脚掌像牛犊的蹄，都很灿烂，像擦亮了的铜。

⁷and their feet [are] straight feet, and the sole of their feet [is] as a sole of a calf`s foot, and they are sparkling as the colour of bright brass;

⁸在它们四边的翅膀下都有人的手。它们四个活物的脸孔和翅膀是这样的：

⁸and hands of man under their wings — on their four sides, and their faces and their wings — [are] to them four;

⁹它们的翅膀互相接触，走动的时候，不必转身，都是朝着脸孔的方向行走。

⁹joining one unto another [are] their wings, they turn not round in their going, each straight forward they go.

¹⁰至于它们脸孔的形状，四个活物都各有一个人的脸孔，在右边各有一个狮子的脸孔，在左边各有一个牛的脸孔，此外各有一个鹰的脸孔；

¹⁰As to the likeness of their faces, the face of a man, and the face of a lion, toward the right [are] to them four, and the face of an ox on the left [are] to them four, and the face of an eagle [are] to them four.

¹¹它们的脸孔就是这样。它们向上展开翅膀，各自用两个翅膀互相接触，用两个翅膀遮蔽身体。

¹¹And their faces and their wings are separate from above, to each [are] two joining together, and two are covering their bodies.

¹²它们都是朝着脸孔的方向行走。灵往哪里去，它们就往哪里去。它们走动的时候，都不必转身。

¹²And each straight forward they go, whither the spirit is to go, they go, they turn not round in their going.

¹³至于四个活物的形状，样子像烧着的火炭，又像火把。火在四活物中间到处闪耀。这火很明亮，有闪电从火中发出。

¹³As to the likeness of the living creatures, their appearances [are] as coals of fire — burning as the appearance of lamps; it is going up and down between the living creatures, and brightness [is] to the fire, and out of the fire is going forth lightning.

¹⁴四个活物往来奔走，好像闪电。

¹⁴And the living creatures are running, and turning back, as the appearance of the flash.

¹⁵四个轮子我观看那些活物的时候，看见四个活物的旁边都有一个触地的轮子。

¹⁵And I see the living creatures, and lo, one wheel [is] in the earth, near the living creatures, at its four faces.

¹⁶四个轮子的样子与构造都是一个形状，它们好像闪耀的水苍玉，又好像轮子套着轮子。

¹⁶The appearance of the wheels and their works [is] as the colour of beryl, and one likeness [is] to them four, and their appearances and their works [are] as it were the wheel in the midst of the wheel.

¹⁷轮子可以向四方移动，移动的时候，不必转向。

¹⁷On their four sides, in their going they go, they turn not round in their going.

¹⁸轮辋很高，十分可畏，四个轮辋都布满了眼睛。

¹⁸As to their rings, they are both high and fearful, and their rings [are] full of eyes round about them four.

¹⁹活物走动的时候，它们旁边的轮子也随着移动。活物从地上升起的时候，轮子也随着升起。

¹⁹And in the going of the living creatures, the wheels go beside them, and in the living creatures being lifted up from off the earth, lifted up are the wheels.

²⁰灵往哪里去，活物就往哪里去，轮子也随着它们升起，因为活物的灵是在轮子里面。

²⁰Whither the spirit is to go, they go, thither the spirit [is] to go, and the wheels are lifted up over-against them, for a living spirit [is] in the wheels.

²¹活物走动，轮子也随着移动；活物站着不动，轮子也不动；活物从地上升起，轮子也随着升起，因为活物的灵是在轮子里面。

²¹In their going, they go; and in their standing, they stand; and in their being lifted up from off the earth, lifted up are the wheels over-against them; for a living spirit [is] in the wheels.

²²在活物的头顶上面，有穹苍的形状，好像闪耀的水晶，十分可畏，在活物的头顶上面张开。

²²And a likeness [is] over the heads of the living creatures of an expanse, as the colour of the fearful ice, stretched out over their heads from above.

²³在穹苍下面，活物的翅膀伸直张开，互相接触；各自用两个翅膀遮蔽身体。

²³And under the expanse their wings [are] straight, one toward the other, to each are two covering on this side, and to each are two covering on that side — their bodies.

²⁴活物走动的时候，我听见它们翅膀的响声，像洪水的声音，也像全能者的声音，又像军队喧嚷的声音。它们站着不动的时候，翅膀就垂下来。

²⁴And I hear the noise of their wings, as the noise of many waters, as the noise of the Mighty One, in their going — the noise of tumult, as the noise of a camp, in their standing they let fall their wings.

²⁵有声音从它们头顶上面的穹苍发出来；它们站着不动的时候，翅膀就垂下来。

²⁵And there is a voice from above the expanse, that [is] above their head: in their standing they let fall their wings.

²⁶耶和华的荣光在它们头顶的穹苍上面，有宝座的形状，好像蓝宝石的样子。在宝座上面，有一个样子像人的形象。

²⁶And above the expanse that [is] over their head, as an appearance of a sapphire stone, [is] the likeness of a throne, and on the likeness of the throne a likeness, as the appearance of man upon it from above.

²⁷我看见在那仿佛是他腰部以上，好像闪耀的金属，又好像有火四面包围。在那仿佛是他腰部以下，我又看见好像有火，光芒环绕着他。

²⁷And I see as the colour of copper, 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 have seen as the appearance of fire, and brightness [is] to it round about.

²⁸下雨的日子，云中彩虹的样子怎样，环绕他的光芒的样子也怎样。这就是耶和华荣耀的形状的样子。我一看见，就俯伏在地上，跟着听见有说话的声音。

²⁸As the appearance of the bow that is in a cloud in a day of rain, so [is] the appearance of the brightness round about.
