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

¹Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth [month], on the fifth of the month, as I was among the captives by the river Chebar, the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.

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

²On the fifth of the month, (it was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity,)

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

³the word of Jehovah came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of Jehovah was there upon him.

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

⁴And I looked, and behold, a stormy wind 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 look of glowing brass, out of the midst of the fire.

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

⁵Also out of the midst thereof, the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man.

⁶ولكل واحد اربع اوجه ولكل واحد اربعة اجنحة.

⁶And every one had four faces, and every one of them had four wings.

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

⁷And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot; and they sparkled as the look of burnished brass.

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

⁸And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings:

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

⁹their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward.

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

¹⁰And the likeness of their faces was the face of a man; and they four had the face of a lion on the right side; and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four had also the face of an eagle.

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

¹¹And their faces and their wings were parted above; two [wings] of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.

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

¹²And they went every one straight forward: whither the Spirit was to go, they went; they turned not when they went.

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

¹³And as for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, as the appearance of torches: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright; and out of the fire went forth lightning.

¹⁴الحيوانات راكضة وراجعة كمنظر البرق.

¹⁴And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.

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

¹⁵And I looked at the living creatures, and behold, one wheel upon the earth beside the living creatures, toward their four faces.

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

¹⁶The appearance of the wheels and their work was as the look of a chrysolite; and they four had one likeness; and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel.

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

¹⁷When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not when they went.

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

¹⁸As for their rims, they were high and dreadful; and they four had their rims full of eyes round about.

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

¹⁹And when the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.

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

²⁰Whithersoever the Spirit was to go, they went, thither would [their] spirit go; and the wheels were lifted up along with them: for the spirit of the living creature was 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.

²¹When those went, they went; and when those stood, they stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up along with them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.

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

²²And there was the likeness of an expanse over the heads of the living creature, as the look of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads 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 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.

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

²⁴And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, a tumultuous noise, as the noise of a host: when they stood, they let down their wings;

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

²⁵and there was a voice from above the expanse that was over their heads. When they stood, they let down 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 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 a likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it.

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 saw as the look of glowing brass, 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 saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness 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 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 Jehovah. And when I saw, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of one that spoke.
