¹[Ny nahitan'i Ezekiela ny voninahitr'i Jehovah] Ary tamin'ny andro fahadimy tamin'ny volana fahefatra tamin'ny taona fahatelo-polo, raha teo amin'ny babo teo amoron'ny ony Kebara aho, dia nisokatra ny lanitra, ka nahita fahitana avy tamin'Andriamanitra aho.

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.

²Tamin'ny andro fahadimy tamin'ny volana (taona fahadimy taorian'ny namaboana an'i Joiakina mpanjaka izany)

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

³dia tonga tamin'i Ezekiela mpisorona, zanak'i Bozy, ny tenin'i Jehovah tany amin'ny tanin'ny Kaldeana, teo amoron'ny ony Kebara; ary ny tànan'i Jehovah dia taminy teo.

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.

⁴Ary hitako fa, indro, nisy tafio-drivotra avy tany avaratra, dia rahona lehibe sy afo mifandrambondrambona, sady nisy namirapiratra manodidina azy; ary avy teo amin'ny afo dia nisy toy ny volon'ny metaly mamirapiratra.

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.

⁵Ary teo aminy koa nisy toa endriky ny zava-manan'aina efatra. Ary ny fikery azy dia hoatra ny endrik'olona.

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

⁶Ary samy nanana tarehy efatra sy elatra efatra avy izy.

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

⁷Ary mahitsy ny tongony; ary ny faladiany dia tahaka ny faladian'ny ombilahy kely; ary mamirapiratra toy ny volon'ny varahina manganohano izy.

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;

⁸Ary nisy tanan'olona teo ambanin'ny elany teo amin'ny lafiny efatra, ary samy nanana ny tarehiny sy ny elany avy izy efatra.

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

⁹Nifanendry ny elany; tsy niherika izy raha nandeha, fa samy nizotra tamin'izay hitsiny avy izy rehetra.

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

¹⁰Ary ny toetry ny tarehiny dia tahaka ny tarehin'olona; ary tamin'ny ankavanany dia samy nanana ny tarehin'ny liona izy efatra, ary tamin'ny ankaviany dia samy nanana ny tarehin'omby, ary samy nanana ny tarehin'ny voromahery koa izy efatra.

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.

¹¹Ary ny tarehiny sy ny elany dia nisaraka hatreo ambony: samy nisy roa nifanendry tamin'ny an'ny namany, ary ny roa nanarona ny tenany.

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

¹²Dia samy nizotra tamin'izay hitsiny avy izy, ka na aiza na aiza no tian'ny fanahy ho nalehany dia nalehany: tsy niherika izy raha nandeha.

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

¹³Ary tahaka ny vainafo mirehitra ny fijery ny zava-manan'aina, dia tahaka ny fijery ny fanilo; nivoivoy teny anelanelan'ny zava-manan'aina ny afo; ary namirapiratra ny afo, sady nisy helatra nivoaka avy tao aminy.

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.

¹⁴Ary ny zava-manan'aina nifanaresaka nankary nankatsy toy ny helatra mifelopeloka.

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

¹⁵Ary hitako ny zava-manan'aina, fa, indro, nisy kodia iray avy teo ambonin'ny tany, teo anilan'ny zava-manan'aina teo anoloan'ny tarehiny efatra.

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

¹⁶Ny tarehin'ny kodia sy ny rafiny dia tahaka ny volon'ny krysolita, ary nitovy endrika izy efatra, ary ny tarehiny sy ny rafiny dia toy ny kodia anatin'ny kodia.

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.

¹⁷Raha nandeha izy, dia nandeha tamin'izay hitsin'ny lafiny efatra: tsy niherika izy raha nandeha.

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

¹⁸Ary ny boriboriny manodidina azy dia avo sy mahatahotra, sady feno maso manodidina izy efatra.

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

¹⁹Ary raha nandeha ny zava-manan'aina, dia nandeha teo anilany koa ny kodia; ary raha niainga tsy nipaka tamin'ny tany ireo zava-manan'aina, dia mba niainga koa ny kodia.

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.

²⁰Na aiza na aiza no tian'ny fanahy ho naleha dia nalehan'ireo koa; fa any koa no mba tian'ny fanahy haleha, ary ny kodia dia niainga teo anilany; fa teo amin'ny kodia ny fanahin'ny zava-manan'aina.

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.

²¹Raha nandeha ireny, dia mba nandeha koa ireto; ary raha nijanona ireny, dia mba nijanona koa ireto; ary raha niainga tsy nipaka tamin'ny tany ireny, dia mba niainga teo anilany koa ny kodia; fa ny fanahin'ny zava-manan'aina dia tao amin'ny kodia.

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.

²²Ary teo ambonin'ny lohan'ny zava-manan'aina dia nisy toa endriky ny eloelo, toy ny volon'ny krystaly mahatahotra, mivelatra eo ambonin'ny lohany.

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.

²³Ary nivelatra mahitsy sady nifanendry ny elany teo ambanin'ny eloelo: samy nanan-droa avy izy rehetra, izay nanaronany ny tenany.

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.

²⁴Ary raha nandeha izy, dia nahare ny fikopakopaky ny elany aho, toy ny firohondrohon'ny rano be, dia tahaka ny feon'ny Tsitoha, dia feo toy ny fireondreon'ny miaramila mitoby;

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.

²⁵Ary nisy feo avy teo ambonin'ny eloelo izay teo ambonin'ny lohany; nony nijanona izy, dia namihina ny elany.

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

²⁶Ary teo ambonin'ny eloelo, izay teo ambonin'ny lohany, dia nisy endriky ny seza fiandrianana mitovy volo amin'ny vato safira; ary teo ambonin'ny endriky ny seza fiandrianana dia nisy hoatra ny endrik'olona.

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.

²⁷Ary nahita toy ny volon'ny metaly mamirapiratra aho, dia hoatra ny tarehin'ny afo manodidina azy; ary hatramin'ny valahany no ho miakatra ka hatramin'ny valahany no ho midina dia hitako tahaka ny afo, ka nisy namirapiratra manodidina azy.Toy ny tarehin'avana amin'ny rahona amin'ny andro nisy ranon'orana no tarehin'ny namirapiratra manodidina. Izany no fijery ny endriky ny voninahitr'i Jehovah. Ary nony nahita izany aho, dia nikarapoka nihohoka ka nandre ny feon'ny anankiray niteny.

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.

²⁸Toy ny tarehin'avana amin'ny rahona amin'ny andro nisy ranon'orana no tarehin'ny namirapiratra manodidina. Izany no fijery ny endriky ny voninahitr'i Jehovah. Ary nony nahita izany aho, dia nikarapoka nihohoka ka nandre ny feon'ny anankiray niteny.

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.
