¹كان في سنة الثلاثين في الشهر الرابع في الخامس من الشهر وانا بين المسبيين عند نهر خابور ان السموات انفتحت فرأيت رؤى الله.

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.

²في الخامس من الشهر وهي السنة الخامسة من سبي يوياكين الملك

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

³صار كلام الرب الى حزقيال الكاهن ابن بوزي في ارض الكلدانيين عند نهر خابور. وكانت عليه هناك يد الرب.

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.

⁴فنظرت واذا بريح عاصفة جاءت من الشمال. سحابة عظيمة ونار متواصلة وحولها لمعان ومن وسطها كمنظر النحاس اللامع من وسط النار.

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.

⁵ومن وسطها شبه اربعة حيوانات وهذا منظرها. لها شبه انسان.

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

⁶ولكل واحد اربع اوجه ولكل واحد اربعة اجنحة.

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

⁷وارجلها ارجل قائمة واقدام ارجلها كقدم رجل العجل وبارقة كمنظر النحاس المصقول.

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;

⁸وايدي انسان تحت اجنحتها على جوانبها الاربعة. ووجوهها واجنحتها لجوانبها الاربعة.

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

⁹واجنحتها متصلة الواحد باخيه. لم تدر عند سيرها. كل واحد يسير الى جهة وجهه.

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

¹⁰اما شبه وجوهها فوجه انسان ووجه اسد لليمين لاربعتها ووجه ثور من الشمال لاربعتها ووجه نسر لاربعتها.

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.

¹¹فهذه اوجهها. اما اجنحتها فمبسوطة من فوق. لكل واحد اثنان متصلان احدهما باخيه واثنان يغطيان اجسامها.

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

¹²وكل واحد كان يسير الى جهة وجهه. الى حيث تكون الروح لتسير تسير. لم تدر عند سيرها.

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

¹³اما شبه الحيوانات فمنظرها كجمر نار متقدة كمنظر مصابيح هي سالكة بين الحيوانات. وللنار لمعان ومن النار كان يخرج برق

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.

¹⁴الحيوانات راكضة وراجعة كمنظر البرق.

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

¹⁵فنظرت الحيوانات واذا بكرة واحدة على الارض بجانب الحيوانات باوجهها الاربعة.

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

¹⁶منظر البكرات وصنعتها كمنظر الزبرجد. وللاربع شكل واحد ومنظرها وصنعتها كانها كانت بكرة وسط بكرة.

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.

¹⁷لما سارت سارت على جوانبها الاربعة. لم تدر عند سيرها.

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

¹⁸اما أطرها فعالية ومخيفة. وأطرها ملآنة عيونا حواليها للاربع.

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

¹⁹فاذا سارت الحيوانات سارت البكرات بجانبها واذا ارتفعت الحيوانات عن الارض ارتفعت البكرات.

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.

²⁰الى حيث تكون الروح لتسير يسيرون الى حيث الروح لتسير والبكرات ترتفع معها. لان روح الحيوانات كانت في البكرات.

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.

²¹فاذا سارت تلك سارت هذه واذا وقفت تلك وقفت. واذا ارتفعت تلك عن الارض ارتفعت البكرات معها لان روح الحيوانات كانت في البكرات.

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.

²²وعلى رؤوس الحيوانات شبه مقبب كمنظر البلور الهائل منتشرا على رؤوسها من فوق.

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.

²³وتحت المقبب اجنحتها مستقيمة الواحد نحو اخيه. لكل واحد اثنان يغطيان من هنا ولكل واحد اثنان يغطيان من هناك اجسامها.

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.

²⁴فلما سارت سمعت صوت اجنحتها كخرير مياه كثيرة كصوت القدير صوت ضجة كصوت جيش. ولما وقفت ارخت اجنحتها.

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.

²⁵فكان صوت من فوق المقبب الذي على رؤوسها. اذا وقفت ارخت اجنحتها.

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

²⁶وفوق المقبب الذي على رؤوسها شبه عرش كمنظر حجر العقيق الازرق وعلى شبه العرش شبه كمنظر انسان عليه من فوق.

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.

²⁷ورأيت مثل منظر النحاس اللامع كمنظر نار داخله من حوله من منظر حقويه الى فوق ومن منظر حقويه الى تحت رأيت مثل منظر نار ولها لمعان من حولها

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.

²⁸كمنظر القوس التي في السحاب يوم مطر هكذا منظر اللمعان من حوله. هذا منظر شبه مجد الرب. ولما رأيته خررت على وجهي. وسمعت صوت متكلم

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.
