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.” .

¹Nangyari nga nang ikatatlong pung taon, sa ikaapat na buwan, nang ikalimang araw ng buwan, samantalang ako'y kasama ng mga bihag sa pangpang ng ilog Chebar, na ang langit ay nabuksan, at ako'y nakakita ng mga pangitain mula sa Dios.

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

²Nang ikalimang araw ng buwan, na siyang ikalimang taon ng pagkabihag ng haring Joacim,

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.

³Ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating na maliwanag kay Ezekiel na saserdote, na anak ni Buzi, sa lupain ng mga Caldeo sa pangpang ng ilog Chebar: at ang kamay ng Panginoon, ay sumasa kaniya.

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.

⁴At ako'y tumingin, at, narito, isang unos na hangin ay lumabas na mula sa hilagaan, na isang malaking ulap, na may isang apoy na naglilikom sa sarili, at isang ningning sa palibot, at mula sa gitna niyao'y may parang metal na nagbabaga, mula sa gitna ng apoy.

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

⁵At mula sa gitna niyao'y nanggaling ang kahawig ng apat na nilalang na may buhay. At ito ang kanilang anyo, Sila'y nakawangis ng isang tao;

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

⁶At bawa't isa ay may apat na mukha, at bawa't isa sa kanila ay may apat na pakpak.

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.

⁷At ang kanilang mga paa ay mga matuwid na paa; at ang talampakan ng kanilang mga paa ay parang talampakan ng paa ng isang guya; at sila'y nagsisikinang na parang kulay ng tansong binuli.

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:

⁸At sila'y may mga kamay ng tao sa ilalim ng kanilang mga pakpak sa kanilang apat na tagiliran; at silang apat ay may kanilang mga mukha, at may kanilang mga pakpak na ganito:

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

⁹Ang kanilang mga pakpak ay nagkakadaitan; sila'y hindi nagsisipihit nang sila'y yumaon; yumaon bawa't isa sa kanila na patuloy.

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.

¹⁰Tungkol sa anyo ng kanilang mga mukha, sila'y may mukhang tao; at silang apat ay may mukha ng leon sa kanang tagiliran; at silang apat ay may mukha ng baka sa kaliwang tagiliran; silang apat ay may mukha rin ng aguila.

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

¹¹At ang kanilang mga mukha at ang kanilang mga pakpak ay magkahiwalay sa itaas: dalawang pakpak ng bawa't isa ay nagkakadaitan at ang dalawa ay nagsisitakip ng kanilang mga katawan.

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

¹²At yumaon bawa't isa sa kanila na patuloy; kung saan naparoroon ang espiritu, doon sila nangaparoroon; sila'y hindi nagsisipihit nang sila'y yumaon.

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.

¹³Tungkol sa anyo ng mga nilalang na may buhay, ang kanilang katulad ay parang mga bagang nagniningas; parang mga sulo: ang apoy ay tumataas at bumababa sa gitna ng mga nilalang na may buhay at ang apoy ay maningas, at mula sa apoy ay may lumabas na kidlat.

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

¹⁴At ang mga nilalang na may buhay ay nagsitakbo at nagsibalik na parang kislap ng kidlat.

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.

¹⁵Samantala ngang minamasdan ko ang mga nilalang na may buhay, narito, ang isang gulong sa lupa sa siping ng mga nilalang na may buhay, sa bawa't isa ng apat na mukha ng mga yaon.

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.

¹⁶Ang anyo ng mga gulong at ng kanilang pagkayari ay parang kulay ng berilo: at ang apat na yaon ay may isang anyo: at ang kanilang anyo at ang kanilang pagkayari ay parang isang gulong sa loob ng isang gulong.

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

¹⁷Pagka yumaon, nagsisiyaon sa kanilang apat na dako: hindi nagsisipihit nang sila'y yumaon.

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

¹⁸Tungkol sa kanilang mga Rueda ay matataas at kakilakilabot; at itong apat ay may kanilang mga Ilanta na puno ng mga mata sa palibot.

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.

¹⁹At pagka ang mga nilalang na may buhay ay nagsisiyaon, ang mga gulong ay nagsisiyaon sa siping nila; at pagka ang mga nilalang na may buhay ay nangatataas mula sa lupa, ang mga gulong ay nangatataas.

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.

²⁰Kung saan naparoroon ang espiritu ay nangaparoroon sila; doon pinaparoonan ng espiritu; at ang mga gulong ay nangatataas sa siping nila; sapagka't ang espiritu ng nilalang na may buhay ay nasa mga gulong.

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.

²¹Pagka ang mga yaon ay nagsisiyaon, ang mga ito'y nagsisiyaon; at pagka ang mga yaon ay nagsisitayo, ang mga ito ay nagsisitayo; at pagka ang mga yaon ay nangatataas mula sa lupa, ang mga gulong ay nangatataas sa siping nila; sapagka't ang espiritu ng nilalang na may buhay ay nasa mga gulong.

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.

²²At sa ibabaw ng ulo ng nilalang na may buhay, may kawangis ng langit, na parang kulay ng kakilakilabot na bubog, na nakaunat sa itaas ng kanilang mga ulo.

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.

²³At sa ilalim ng langit ay nakaunat ang kanilang mga pakpak, na ang isa ay sa gawi ng isa: bawa't isa'y may dalawa na tumatakip ng kaniyang katawan sa dakong ito, at bawa't isa'y may dalawa na tumatakip sa dakong yaon.

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.

²⁴At nang sila'y magsiyaon, aking narinig ang pagaspas ng kanilang mga pakpak na parang hugong ng maraming tubig, parang tinig ng Makapangyarihan sa lahat, na hugong ng kagulo na gaya ng kaingay ng isang hukbo: pagka sila'y nagsisitayo, kanilang ibinababa ang kanilang mga pakpak.

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

²⁵At may tinig na nagmula sa itaas ng langit na nasa ibabaw ng kanilang mga ulo: pagka sila'y nagsisitayo, kanilang ibinababa ang kanilang mga pakpak.

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.

²⁶At sa itaas ng langit na nasa itaas ng kanilang mga ulo ay may kawangis ng isang luklukan na parang anyo ng batong zafiro; at sa ibabaw ng kawangis ng luklukan ay may kawangis ng isang tao sa itaas niyaon.

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.

²⁷At ako'y nakakita ng parang metal na nagbabaga, na parang anyo ng apoy sa loob niyaon, na nakikita mula sa kaniyang mga balakang na paitaas; at mula sa kaniyang mga balakang na paibaba ay nakakita ako ng parang anyo ng apoy, at may ningning sa palibot niyaon.

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.

²⁸Kung paano ang anyo ng bahaghari na nasa alapaap sa kaarawan ng ulan, gayon ang anyo ng kinang sa palibot. Ito ang anyo ng kaluwalhatian ng Panginoon. At nang aking makita, ako'y nasubasob, at aking narinig ang tinig ng isang nagsasalita.
