¹A stalo sa tridsiateho roku, štvrtého mesiaca, piateho dňa toho mesiaca, keď som bol medzi zajatými na rieke Chebáre, že sa otvorily nebesia, a videl som videnia Božie.

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.

²Piateho dňa toho mesiaca (a to bol piaty rok zajatia kráľa Jojachina)

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

³stalo sa zreteľne slovo Hospodinovo k Ezechielovi, synovi Búziho, kňazovi, v zemi Chaldejov, na rieke Chebáre, a bola tam nad ním ruka Hospodinova.

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.

⁴A videl som a hľa, búrlivý vietor prišiel od severa, veľký oblak a plápolajúci oheň a vôkol neho žiara dookola, a zprostred neho sa videlo čosi na pohľad ako žeravý kov, zprostred toho ohňa.

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.

⁵A zprostred neho bolo vidieť podobu štyroch živých bytostí, a toto bola ich tvárnosť: maly podobu človeka.

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

⁶Každá mala štyri tváre a každá z nich mala štyri krýdla.

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

⁷A ich nohy boly rovné, a spodok ich nôh bol ako spodok nohy teľaťa, a leskly sa na pohľad ako vyleštená meď.

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;

⁸A pod ich krýdlami bolo vidieť ruky človeka po ich štyroch stranách, a všetky štyri maly svoje tváre a svoje krýdla.

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

⁹Ich krýdla boly pospájané jedno s druhým; neobracaly sa, keď išly, každá išla smerom svojej tvári.

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

¹⁰A podoba ich tvári bola jako tvár človeka; po pravej strane maly všetky štyri tvár leva, z ľavej strany maly všetky štyri tvár vola a maly, všetky štyri, aj tvár orla.

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.

¹¹Ich tváre a ich krýdla boly oddelené shora. Každá mala dve krýdla, ktoré spájaly všetky, a dve, ktoré kryly ich telá.

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

¹²Každá išla priamo smerom svojej tvári. Kam bol obrátený Duch ísť, ta išly; neobracaly sa, keď išly.

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

¹³A podoba tých živých bytostí bola na pohľad ako žeravé uhlie; horely na pohľad ako fakle; to chodilo pomedzi tie živé bytosti, a oheň mal žiaru, a z ohňa vychádzal blesk.

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.

¹⁴A tie živé bytosti odbehávaly a zase sa navracovaly na pohľad ako blesk.

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

¹⁵A keď som hľadel na tie živé bytosti, videl som, že hľa, po jednom kolese bolo na zemi vedľa tých živých bytostí, vo štyri smery jej tvári.

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

¹⁶Kolesá a ich práca boly na pohľad ako farba taršíš, a všetky štyri maly jednu a tú istú podobu a boly na pohľad aj ich práca, jako keby bolo bývalo koleso v kolese.

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.

¹⁷Keď išly, išly na svoje štyri strany; neobracaly sa, keď išly.

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

¹⁸A čo do ich lúkotí, boly vysoké a strašné, a ich lúkote boly plné očí kolom dookola, ich všetkých štyroch.

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

¹⁹Keď išly živé bytosti, išly aj kolesá vedľa nich, a keď sa povzniesly živé bytosti od zeme, povzniesly sa aj kolesá.

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.

²⁰Kam bol obrátený Duch ísť, ta išly, ta, kam chcel ísť Duch; a kolesá povznášaly sa spolu vedľa nich, lebo duch živej bytosti bol v kolesách;

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.

²¹keď išly tamtie, išly, a keď stály, stály; a keď sa povzniesly tamtie od zeme, povzniesly sa kolesá spolu s nimi, lebo duch živej bytosti bol v kolesách.

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.

²²A nad hlavami tých živých bytostí bola podoba oblohy, na pohľad ako hrozný kryštál, roztiahnutá nad ich hlavami shora.

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.

²³A pod oblohou ich krýdla rovné, obrátené jedno k druhému. Každá mala dve, ktoré prikrývaly z jednej, a každá mala dve, ktoré prikrývaly z druhej strany ich telá.

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.

²⁴A počul som zvuk ich krýdel ako zvuk mnohých vôd, ako hlas Všemohúceho, keď išly, zvuk hukotu jako ruch tábora. Keď stály, spustily svoje krýdla.

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.

²⁵A bolo čuť hlas zponad oblohy, ktorá bola nad ich hlavou. A keď tedy stály, spustily svoje krýdla.

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

²⁶Shora nad oblohou, ktorá bola nad ich hlavou, bola podoba trónu, na pohľad ako kameň zafír a na podobe trónu bola podoba na pohľad ako človek, na ňom shora.

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.

²⁷A videl som niečo jako farbu žeravého kovu, niečo na pohľad ako oheň, čím bola obňatá dookola, od vidu jeho bedier a hore; a od vidu jeho bedier a dole som videl čosi na pohľad ako oheň, a ten na pohľad ako človek mal žiaru dookola.

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.

²⁸Na pohľad ako dúha, ktorá býva na oblaku v deň dažďa, taká bola na pohľad tá žiara dookola. To bol zjav podoby slávy Hospodinovej. A keď som to videl, padnul som na svoju tvár a počul som hlas hovoriaceho.

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.
