Yehezkiel 1

¹Pada tahun ketiga puluh, dalam bulan yang keempat, pada tanggal lima bulan itu, ketika aku bersama-sama dengan para buangan berada di tepi sungai Kebar, terbukalah langit dan aku melihat penglihatan-penglihatan tentang Allah.

¹In the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I was among the exiles by the Chebar canal, the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.

²Pada tanggal lima bulan itu, yaitu tahun kelima sesudah raja Yoyakhin dibuang,

²On the fifth day of the month (it was the fifth year of the exile of King Jehoiachin),

³datanglah firman TUHAN kepada imam Yehezkiel, anak Busi, di negeri orang Kasdim di tepi sungai Kebar, dan di sana kekuasaan TUHAN meliputi dia.

³the word of the LORD came to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the Chebar canal, and the hand of the LORD was upon him there.

⁴Lalu aku melihat, sungguh, angin badai bertiup dari utara, dan membawa segumpal awan yang besar dengan api yang berkilat-kilat dan awan itu dikelilingi oleh sinar; di dalam, di tengah-tengah api itu kelihatan seperti suasa mengkilat.

⁴As I looked, behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, and a great cloud, with brightness around it, and fire flashing forth continually, and in the midst of the fire, as it were gleaming metal.

⁵Dan di tengah-tengah itu juga ada yang menyerupai empat makhluk hidup dan beginilah kelihatannya mereka: mereka menyerupai manusia,

⁵And from the midst of it came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had a human likeness,

⁶tetapi masing-masing mempunyai empat muka dan pada masing-masing ada pula empat sayap.

⁶but each had four faces, and each of them had four wings.

⁷Kaki mereka adalah lurus dan telapak kaki mereka seperti kuku anak lembu; kaki-kaki ini mengkilap seperti tembaga yang baru digosok.

⁷Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the sole of a calf's foot. And they sparkled like burnished bronze.

⁸Pada keempat sisi mereka di bawah sayap-sayapnya tampak tangan manusia. Mengenai muka dan sayap mereka berempat adalah begini:

⁸Under their wings on their four sides they had human hands. And the four had their faces and their wings thus:

⁹mereka saling menyentuh dengan sayapnya; mereka tidak berbalik kalau berjalan, masing-masing berjalan lurus ke depan.

⁹their wings touched one another. Each one of them went straight forward, without turning as they went.

¹⁰Muka mereka kelihatan begini: Keempatnya mempunyai muka manusia di depan, muka singa di sebelah kanan, muka lembu di sebelah kiri, dan muka rajawali di belakang.

¹⁰As for the likeness of their faces, each had a human face. The four had the face of a lion on the right side, the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and the four had the face of an eagle.

¹¹Sayap-sayap mereka dikembangkan ke atas; mereka saling menyentuh dengan sepasang sayapnya dan sepasang sayap yang lain menutupi badan mereka.

¹¹Such were their faces. And their wings were spread out above. Each creature had two wings, each of which touched the wing of another, while two covered their bodies.

¹²Masing-masing berjalan lurus ke depan; ke arah mana roh itu hendak pergi, ke sanalah mereka pergi, mereka tidak berbalik kalau berjalan.

¹²And each went straight forward. Wherever the spirit would go, they went, without turning as they went.

¹³Di tengah makhluk-makhluk hidup itu kelihatan seperti bara api yang menyala, seperti suluh, yang bergerak kian ke mari di antara makhluk-makhluk hidup itu, dan api itu bersinar sedang dari api itu kilat sabung-menyabung.

¹³As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches moving to and fro among the living creatures. And the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.

¹⁴Makhluk-makhluk hidup itu terbang ke sana ke mari seperti kilat.

¹⁴And the living creatures darted to and fro, like the appearance of a flash of lightning.

¹⁵Aku melihat, sungguh, di atas tanah di samping masing-masing dari keempat makhluk-makhluk hidup itu ada sebuah roda.

¹⁵Now as I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the earth beside the living creatures, one for each of the four of them.

¹⁶Rupa roda-roda itu seperti kilauan permata pirus dan keempatnya adalah serupa; buatannya seolah-olah roda yang satu di tengah-tengah yang lain.

¹⁶As for the appearance of the wheels and their construction: their appearance was like the gleaming of beryl. And the four had the same likeness, their appearance and construction being as it were a wheel within a wheel.

¹⁷Kalau mereka berjalan mereka dapat menuju keempat jurusan; mereka tidak berbalik kalau berjalan.

¹⁷When they went, they went in any of their four directions without turning as they went.

¹⁸Mereka mempunyai lingkar dan aku melihat, bahwa sekeliling lingkar yang empat itu penuh dengan mata.

¹⁸And their rims were tall and awesome, and the rims of all four were full of eyes all around.

¹⁹Kalau makhluk-makhluk hidup itu berjalan, roda-roda itu juga berjalan di samping mereka; dan kalau makhluk-makhluk hidup itu terangkat dari atas tanah, roda-roda itu turut terangkat.

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

²⁰Ke arah mana roh itu hendak pergi, ke sanalah mereka pergi, dan roda-rodanya sama-sama terangkat dengan mereka, sebab roh makhluk-makhluk hidup itu berada di dalam roda-rodanya.

²⁰Wherever the spirit wanted to go, they went, and the wheels rose along with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

²¹Kalau makhluk-makhluk hidup itu berjalan, roda-roda itu berjalan; kalau mereka berhenti, roda-roda itu berhenti; dan kalau mereka terangkat dari tanah, roda-roda itu sama-sama terangkat dengan mereka; sebab roh makhluk-makhluk hidup itu berada di dalam roda-rodanya.

²¹When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those rose from the earth, the wheels rose along with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

²²Di atas kepala makhluk-makhluk hidup itu ada yang menyerupai cakrawala, yang kelihatan seperti hablur es yang mendahsyatkan, terbentang di atas kepala mereka.

²²Over the heads of the living creatures there was the likeness of an expanse, shining like awe-inspiring crystal, spread out above their heads.

²³Dan di bawah cakrawala itu sayap mereka dikembangkan lurus, yang satu menyinggung yang lain; dan masing-masing mempunyai sepasang sayap yang menutupi badan mereka.

²³And under the expanse their wings were stretched out straight, one toward another. And each creature had two wings covering its body.

²⁴Kalau mereka berjalan, aku mendengar suara sayapnya seperti suara air terjun yang menderu, seperti suara Yang Mahakuasa, seperti keributan laskar yang besar; kalau mereka berhenti, sayapnya dibiarkan terkulai.

²⁴And when they went, I heard the sound of their wings like the sound of many waters, like the sound of the Almighty, a sound of tumult like the sound of an army. When they stood still, they let down their wings.

²⁵Maka kedengaranlah suara dari atas cakrawala yang ada di atas kepala mereka; kalau mereka berhenti, sayapnya dibiarkan terkulai.

²⁵And there came a voice from above the expanse over their heads. When they stood still, they let down their wings.

²⁶Di atas cakrawala yang ada di atas kepala mereka ada menyerupai takhta yang kelihatannya seperti permata lazurit; dan di atas yang menyerupai takhta itu ada yang kelihatan seperti rupa manusia.

²⁶And above the expanse over their heads there was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like sapphire; and seated above the likeness of a throne was a likeness with a human appearance.

²⁷Dari yang menyerupai pinggangnya sampai ke atas aku lihat seperti suasa mengkilat dan seperti api yang ditudungi sekelilingnya; dan dari yang menyerupai pinggangnya sampai ke bawah aku lihat seperti api yang dikelilingi sinar.

²⁷And upward from what had the appearance of his waist I saw as it were gleaming metal, like the appearance of fire enclosed all around. And downward from what had the appearance of his waist I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness around him.

²⁸Seperti busur pelangi, yang terlihat pada musim hujan di awan-awan, demikianlah kelihatan sinar yang mengelilinginya. Begitulah kelihatan gambar kemuliaan TUHAN. Tatkala aku melihatnya aku sembah sujud, lalu kudengar suara Dia yang berfirman.

²⁸Like the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud on the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around.Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard the voice of one speaking.
