Ezekiel 1

1 In the thirtieth year, on the fifth day of the fourth month, while I was among the exiles by the River Kebar, the heavens opened and I saw visions of God.

1 第三十年四月五日，我正在迦巴鲁河畔被掳的人当中，那时天开了，我看见了上帝的异象。

2 On the fifth day of the month—it was the fifth year of the exile of King Jehoiachin—

2 那是约雅斤王被掳第五年的四月五日，

3 the word of the LORD came directly to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the River Kebar. And there the LORD’s hand was upon him.

3 就在迦勒底人境内的迦巴鲁河畔，耶和华的话传给了布西的儿子以西结祭司，耶和华的手按在他身上。

4 I looked and saw a whirlwind coming from the north, a great cloud with fire flashing back and forth and brilliant light all around it. In the center of the fire was a gleam like amber,

4 在异象中，我看见一阵狂风从北方刮来，有一大朵云闪耀着火光，四周环绕着灿烂的光芒，火的中心像发光的金属。

5 and within it was the form of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: They had a human form,

5 火中有四个像人形的活物，

6 but each had four faces and four wings.

6 每个活物有四张脸和四个翅膀。

7 Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the hooves of a calf, gleaming like polished bronze.

7 他们的腿是直的，脚如同牛犊的蹄，都亮如磨光的铜。

8 Under their wings on their four sides they had human hands. All four living creatures had faces and wings,

8 四面的翅膀下都有人的手，四个活物都有脸和翅膀，

9 and their wings were touching one another. They did not turn as they moved; each one went straight ahead.

9 翅膀彼此相连。他们移动时不必转身，各朝前面移动。

10 The form of their faces was that of a man, and each of the four had the face of a lion on the right side, the face of an ox on the left side, and also the face of an eagle.

10 四个活物的脸是这样的：正面是人的脸，右面是狮子的脸，左面是牛的脸，后面是鹰的脸。

11 Such were their faces. Their wings were spread upward; each had two wings touching the wings of the creature on either side, and two wings covering its body.

11 他们的翅膀向上展开，每个活物的一对翅膀与两侧活物的翅膀相连，另外一对翅膀遮蔽身体。

12 Each creature went straight ahead. Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, without turning as they moved.

12 每个活物都往前直行，耶和华的灵往哪里去，他们也往哪里去，移动时不用转身。

13 In the midst of the living creatures was the appearance of glowing coals of fire, or of torches. Fire moved back and forth between the living creatures; it was bright, and lightning flashed out of it.

13 四个活物的形象如燃烧的火炭，又像火把。活物之间有火上下移动，非常明亮，从火中发出闪电。

14 The creatures were darting back and forth as quickly as flashes of lightning.

14 这些活物像闪电一样往来飞驰。

15 When I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the ground beside each creature with its four faces.

15 当我观看这些活物的时候，发现每个活物旁边的地上都有一个轮子。

16 The workmanship of the wheels looked like the gleam of beryl, and all four had the same likeness. Their workmanship looked like a wheel within a wheel.

16 四个轮子的形状和结构都一样，好像轮套轮，如同闪耀的绿宝石。

17 As they moved, they went in any of the four directions, without pivoting as they moved.

17 他们可以向四面移动，移动时轮子不必转向。

18 Their rims were high and awesome, and all four rims were full of eyes all around.

18 轮圈高而可畏，周围布满了眼睛。

19 So as the living creatures moved, the wheels moved beside them, and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose.

19 活物行走，轮子也在旁边行走；活物上升，轮子也上升。

20 Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, and the wheels would rise alongside them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

20 灵往哪里去，活物也往哪里去，轮子也跟着往哪里去，因为活物的灵在轮子里。

21 When the creatures moved, the wheels moved; when the creatures stood still, the wheels stood still; and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels rose alongside them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

21 活物行走，轮子也行走；活物站立不动，轮子也站立不动；活物上升，轮子也跟着上升，因为活物的灵在轮子里。

22 Spread out above the heads of the living creatures was the likeness of an awesome expanse, gleaming like crystal.

22 活物的头上好像铺展着茫茫的穹苍，如同顶着耀眼的水晶。

23 And under the expanse, their wings stretched out toward one another. Each one also had two wings covering its body.

23 穹苍下四个活物伸展翅膀，彼此相对，各用另两个翅膀遮蔽身体。

24 When the creatures moved, I heard the sound of their wings like the roar of many waters, like the voice of the Almighty, like the tumult of an army. When they stood still, they lowered their wings.

24 他们移动时，我听见他们翅膀发出的响声如洪涛之声，既像全能者的声音，又像军队的呐喊。活物站住的时候，便将翅膀垂下。

25 And there came a voice from above the expanse over their heads as they stood still with their wings lowered.

25 他们站立垂下翅膀时，有声音从他们头顶的穹苍之上传来。

26 Above the expanse over their heads was the likeness of a throne with the appearance of sapphire, and on the throne high above was a figure like that of a man.

26 在他们头顶的穹苍之上仿佛有蓝宝石的宝座，有一位形状像人的高坐在宝座上。

27 From what seemed to be His waist up, I saw a gleam like amber, with what looked like fire within it all around. And from what seemed to be His waist down, I saw what looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded Him.

27 我看到祂的腰部以上好像烧红发亮的金属，好像有火四面环绕。腰部以下如同火焰。祂周围有耀眼的光辉，

28 The appearance of the brilliant light all around Him was like that of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell facedown and heard a voice speaking.

28 仿佛雨天云中的彩虹。 这是耶和华荣耀的形象。我一看见，便俯伏在地，随后听见有说话的声音。
