1Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
1[] Εν τω τριακοστω ετει, τω τεταρτω μηνι, τη πεμπτη του μηνος, ενω ημην μεταξυ των αιχμαλωτων παρα τον ποταμον Χεβαρ, ηνοιχθησαν οι ουρανοι και ειδον οραματα του Θεου·
2In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity,
2τη πεμπτη του μηνος του ετους τουτου, του πεμπτου της αιχμαλωσιας του βασιλεως Ιωαχειν,
3The word of the LORD came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the LORD was there upon him.
3εγεινε ρητως λογος Κυριου προς τον Ιεζεκιηλ υιον του Βουζει τον ιερεα, εν τη γη των Χαλδαιων παρα τον ποταμον Χεβαρ, και εκει εσταθη η χειρ του Κυριου επ' αυτον.
4And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire.
4[] Και ειδον και ιδου, ανεμοστροβιλος ηρχετο απο βορρα, νεφος μεγα και πυρ συστρεφομενον· περιξ δε τουτου λαμψις και εκ μεσου αυτου εφαινετο ως οψις ηλεκτρου, εκ μεσου του πυρος.
5Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man.
5Και εκ μεσου αυτου εφαινετο τεσσαρων ζωων ομοιωμα. Και η θεα αυτων ητο αυτη· ειχον ομοιωμα ανθρωπου.
6And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings.
6Και εκαστον ειχε τεσσαρα προσωπα και εκαστον αυτων ειχε τεσσαρας πτερυγας.
7And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass.
7Και οι ποδες αυτων ησαν ποδες ορθοι, και το ιχνος του ποδος αυτων ομοιον με ιχνος ποδος μοσχου· και εσπινθηροβολουν ως οψις χαλκου στιλβοντος.
8And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings.
8Και ειχον χειρας ανθρωπου υποκατωθεν των πτερυγων αυτων, εις τα τεσσαρα αυτων μερη· και τα τεσσαρα ειχον τα προσωπα αυτων και τας πτερυγας αυτων.
9Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward.
9Αι πτερυγες αυτων συνειχοντο η μια μετα της αλλης· δεν εστρεφοντο ενω εβαδιζον· κατεναντι του προσωπου αυτων επορευοντο εκαστον.
10As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle.
10Περι δε του ομοιωματος του προσωπου αυτων, τα τεσσαρα ειχον προσωπον ανθρωπου, και προσωπον λεοντος κατα το δεξιον μερος· και τα τεσσαρα ειχον προσωπον βοος κατα το αριστερον· ειχον και τα τεσσαρα προσωπον αετου.
11Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.
11Και τα προσωπα αυτων και αι πτερυγες αυτων ησαν διηρημεναι προς τα ανω· δυο εκαστου συνειχοντο η μια μετα της αλλης και δυο εκαλυπτον τα σωματα αυτων.
12And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; and they turned not when they went.
12Και επορευοντο εκαστον κατεναντι του προσωπου αυτου· οπου το πνευμα εφερετο, εκει εβαδιζον· ενω εβαδιζον, δεν εστρεφοντο.
13As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.
13Περι δε του ομοιωματος των ζωων, η θεα αυτων ητο ως καιομενοι ανθρακες πυρος, ως θεα λαμπαδων· τουτο συνεστρεφετο μεταξυ των ζωων· και ητο το πυρ λαμπρον, και αστραπη εξηρχετο απο του πυρος.
14And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.
14Και τα ζωα ετρεχον και επεστρεφον ως η θεα της αστραπης.
15Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces.
15[] Και ως ειδον τα ζωα, ιδου, τροχος εις επι την γην, πλησιον των ζωων εις τα τεσσαρα αυτων προσωπα.
16The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel.
16Η θεα των τροχων και η εργασια αυτων ησαν ως οψις βηρυλλου· και οι τεσσαρες ειχον το αυτο ομοιωμα· και η θεα αυτων και η εργασια αυτων ησαν ως εαν ητο τροχος εν μεσω τροχου.
17When they went, they went upon their four sides: and they turned not when they went.
17Οτε εβαδιζον, εκινουντο κατα τα τεσσαρα αυτων πλαγια· δεν εστρεφοντο ενω εβαδιζον.
18As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round about them four.
18Οι δε κυκλοι αυτων ησαν τοσον υψηλοι, ωστε εκαμνον φοβον· και οι κυκλοι αυτων πληρεις οφθαλμων κυκλω των τεσσαρων τουτων.
19And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.
19Και οτε τα ζωα επορευοντο, επορευοντο οι τροχοι πλησιον αυτων· και οτε τα ζωα υψονοντο απο της γης, υψονοντο και οι τροχοι.
20Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
20Οπου ητο να υπαγη το πνευμα, εκει επορευοντο, εκει το πνευμα ητο να υπαγη· και οι τροχοι υψονοντο απεναντι τουτων, διοτι το πνευμα των ζωων ητο εν τοις τροχοις.
21When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
21Οτε εκεινα επορευοντο, επορευοντο και ουτοι· και οτε εκεινα ισταντο, ισταντο και ουτοι· οτε δε εκεινα υψονοντο απο της γης, και οι τροχοι υψονοντο απεναντι αυτων, διοτι το πνευμα των ζωων ητο εν τοις τροχοις.
22And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as the colour of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above.
22Και το ομοιωμα του στερεωματος του επανωθεν της κεφαλης των ζωων ητο ως οψις φοβερου κρυσταλλου, εξηπλωμενου υπερ τας κεφαλας αυτων.
23And under the firmament were their wings straight, the one toward the other: every one had two, which covered on this side, and every one had two, which covered on that side, their bodies.
23Υποκατω δε του στερεωματος ησαν εκτεταμεναι αι πτερυγες αυτων, η μια προς την αλλην· δυο ειχεν εκαστον, με τας οποιας εκαλυπτον τα σωματα αυτων.
24And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of an host: when they stood, they let down their wings.
24Και οτε επορευοντο, ηκουον τον ηχον των πτερυγων αυτων, ως ηχον υδατων πολλων, ως φωνην του Παντοδυναμου, και την φωνην της λαλιας ως φωνην στρατοπεδου· οτε ισταντο, κατεβιβαζον τας πτερυγας αυτων.
25And there was a voice from the firmament that was over their heads, when they stood, and had let down their wings.
25Και εγινετο φωνη ανωθεν εκ του στερεωματος του υπερ την κεφαλην αυτων· οτε ισταντο, κατεβιβαζον τας πτερυγας αυτων.
26And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it.
26[] Υπερανωθεν δε του στερεωματος του υπερ την κεφαλην αυτων εφαινετο ομοιωμα θρονου, ως θεα λιθου σαπφειρου· και επι του ομοιωματος του θρονου ομοιωμα ως θεα ανθρωπου καθημενου επ' αυτον ανωθεν.
27And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about.
27Και ειδον ως οψιν ηλεκτρου, ως θεαν πυρος εν αυτω κυκλω, απο της θεας της οσφυος αυτου και επανω· και απο της θεας της οσφυος αυτου και κατω ειδον ως θεαν πυρος, και ειχε λαμψιν κυκλω.
28As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.
28Ως η θεα του τοξου, του γινομενον εν τη νεφελη εν ημερα βροχης, ουτως ητο η θεα της λαμψεως κυκλω. Αυτη ητο η θεα του ομοιωματος της δοξης του Κυριου. Και οτε ειδον, επεσον επι προσωπον μου και ηκουσα φωνην λαλουντος.
