¹'Kolmekümnendal aastal, neljanda kuu viiendal päeval, kui ma olin vangide seas Kebari jõe ääres, sündis, et taevad avanesid ja ma nägin Jumala nägemusi.'

¹Now it happened in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth of the month, as I was among the captives by the river Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “Elohim.” .

²Kuu viiendal päeval, kuningas Joojakini vangiviimise viiendal aastal

²In the fifth of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin’s captivity,

³tuli Issanda sõna preester Hesekielile, Buusi pojale, kaldealaste maal Kebari jõe ääres; ja Issanda käsi tuli seal tema peale.

³the word of Yahweh “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations. came expressly to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of Yahweh was there on him.

⁴'Ja ma vaatasin, ja ennäe, põhja poolt tuli marutuul suure pilve ja lõõmava tulega. Ja pilve ümber oli kuma, ja keskelt, tule keskelt, paistis otsekui hiilgav metall.

⁴I looked, and behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, a great cloud, with flashing lightning, and a brightness around it, and out of its midst as it were glowing metal, out of the midst of the fire.

⁵Ja keset seda paistis midagi, mis koosnes neljast olevusest. Nende välimus oli niisugune: nad olid inimese sarnased,

⁵Out of its midst came the likeness of four living creatures. This was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man.

⁶aga igaühel oli neli nägu ja igaühel oli neli tiiba.

⁶Everyone had four faces, and each one of them had four wings.

⁷Nende jalad olid sirged ja nende labajalad olid nagu vasika sõrad. Ja nad hiilgasid nagu läikiv vask.

⁷Their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf’s foot; and they sparkled like burnished brass.

⁸Neil olid inimese käed tiibade all, neljas küljes; ja neil neljal olid oma näod ja oma tiivad.

⁸They had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and the four of them had their faces and their wings thus:

⁹Nende tiivad puudutasid üksteist. Liikudes nad ei pöördunud, igaüks läks otse edasi.

⁹their wings were joined one to another; they didn’t turn when they went; each one went straight forward.

¹⁰Ja nende näod olid niisugused: esiküljel inimese nägu, neliku paremal küljel lõvi nägu, neliku vasakul küljel härja nägu ja neliku tagaküljel kotka nägu.

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

¹¹Niisugused olid nende näod. Ja nende tiivad olid laiali laotatud ülespoole; igaühel oli kaks tiiba vastastikuseks puudutamiseks ja kaks tiiba katsid nende ihu.

¹¹Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out above. Two wings of each one touched another, and two covered their bodies.

¹²Nad liikusid igaüks otse edasi: kuhu vaim iganes tahtis minna, sinna nad läksid, liikudes nad ei pöördunud.

¹²Each one went straight forward: where the spirit was to go, they went; they didn’t turn when they went.

¹³Ja olevuste vahel oli näha otsekui tuliseid süsi, mis põlesid tõrvikute sarnaselt, liikudes olevuste vahel sinna-tänna; ja tulel oli kuma ning tulest tuli välja välk.

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

¹⁴Ja olevused jooksid sinna-tänna, otsekui lööks välku.

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

¹⁵Siis ma vaatasin olevusi, ja ennäe, olevuste kõrval, igas neljas esiküljes, oli maas üks ratas.

¹⁵Now as I saw the living creatures, behold, one wheel on the earth beside the living creatures, for each of the four faces of it.

¹⁶Rataste välimus ja nende tegumood: need helkisid nagu krüsoliit ja kõigil neljal oli ühesugune kuju. Need olid välimuselt ja tegumoelt, nagu oleks ratas olnud ratta sees.

¹⁶The appearance of the wheels and their work was like a beryl: and the four of them had one likeness; and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel within a wheel.

¹⁷Liikudes nad läksid neljas eri suunas, liikudes nad ei pöördunud.

¹⁷When they went, they went in their four directions: they didn’t turn when they went.

¹⁸Ja nende rattapöiad olid kõrged ning kohutavad; ja sel nelikul olid rattapöiad ümberringi täis silmi.

¹⁸As for their rims, they were high and dreadful; and the four of them had their rims full of eyes all around.

¹⁹Ja kui olevused liikusid, siis liikusid rattad nende kõrval; ja kui olevused tõusid maast üles, siis tõusid üles ka rattad.

¹⁹When 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.

²⁰Kuhu vaim iganes läks, sinna läksid needki, sinna, kuhu vaim tahtis minna. Rattad tõusid üles samuti kui nemad, sest rattais oli olevuste vaim.

²⁰Wherever the spirit was to go, they went; there was the spirit to go: and the wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.

²¹Kui olevused liikusid, siis liikusid nemadki, ja kui need seisid, siis seisid nemadki; kui olevused tõusid maast üles, siis tõusid selsamal kombel ka rattad, sest rattais oli olevuste vaim.

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 beside them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.

²²Ja olevuste peade kohal oli midagi taevalaotuse taolist, kohutav nagu jää, mis oli välja laotatud ülal nende peade kohal.

²²Over the head of the living creature there was the likeness of an expanse, like the awesome crystal to look on, stretched forth over their heads above.

²³Ja laotuse all olid nende tiivad üksteise poole välja sirutatud; igaühel oli kaks tiiba oma keha katmiseks.

²³Under the expanse were their wings straight, the one toward the other: each one had two which covered on this side, and every one had two which covered on that side, their bodies.

²⁴Kui nad liikusid, siis ma kuulsin nende tiibade kahinat otsekui suurte vete kohinat, otsekui Kõigevägevama häält, müristamise kaja - otsekui sõjaleeri kära. Kui nad seisid, siis nad lasksid oma tiivad longu.

²⁴When they went, I heard the noise of their wings like the noise of great waters, like the voice of the Almighty, a noise of tumult like the noise of an army: when they stood, they let down their wings.

²⁵Ja hääl kuuldus taevalaotuse pealt, mis oli nende peade kohal; kui nad seisid, siis nad lasksid oma tiivad longu.

²⁵There was a voice above the expanse that was over their heads: when they stood, they let down their wings.

²⁶Ja nende peade kohal oleva taevalaotuse peal oli midagi, mis paistis safiirikividena, midagi aujärje sarnast. Ja selle aujärje sarnase peal, ülal selle peal, oli keegi, kes oli välimuselt inimese sarnane.

²⁶Above the expanse that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire or, lapis lazuli stone; and on the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man on it above.

²⁷Ja ma nägin otsekui hiilgavat metalli, pealtnäha nagu tuld, millel oli kuma ümber, ülalpool sellest, mis paistis olevat ta niuded; allpool sellest, mis paistis olevat ta niuded, nägin ma pealtnäha nagu tuld ja sellel oli kuma ümber.

²⁷I saw as it were glowing metal, as the appearance of fire within it all around, from the appearance of his waist and upward; and from the appearance of his waist and downward I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness around him.

²⁸Otsekui vikerkaare paiste, mis vihmapäeval on pilvis, oli kuma paiste ümberringi. See oli Issanda auhiilguse ilmutuse paiste! Ja kui ma seda nägin, siis ma langesin silmili maha ja kuulsin häält, mis kõneles.

²⁸As the appearance of the rainbow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around. This 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 of one that spoke.
