以西結書 1
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1當三十年四 月 初五 日 ， 以西結 在 迦巴魯河 邊被擄的人中，天就開了，得見上帝的異象。
1Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, when I was in the midst of the captives by the river Chobar, the heavens were opened, and I saw the visions of God.
2正是 約雅斤 王被擄去第五年四月初五日，
2On the fifth day of the month, the same was the fifth year of the captivity of king Joachin,
3在 迦勒底 人之地、 迦巴魯河 邊，耶和華的話特特臨到 布西 的兒子祭司 以西結 ；耶和華的靈降在他身上。
3The word of the Lord came to Ezechiel the priest the son of Bud in the land of the Chaldeans, by the river Chobar: and the hand of the Lord was there upon him.
4我觀看，見狂風從北方颳來，隨着有一朵包括閃爍火的大雲，周圍有光輝；從其中的火內發出好像光耀的精金；
4And I saw, and behold a whirlwind came out of the north: and a great cloud, and a fire infolding it, and brightness was about it: and out of the midst thereof, that is, out of the midst of the fire, as it were the resemblance of amber:
5又從其中顯出四個活物的形像來。他們的形狀是這樣：有人的形像，
5And in the midst thereof the likeness of four living creatures: and this was their appearance: there was the likeness of a man in them.
6各有四個臉面，四個翅膀。
6Every one had four faces, and every one four wings.
7他們的腿是直的，腳掌好像牛犢之蹄，都燦爛如光明的銅。
7Their feet were straight feet, and the sole of their foot was like the sole of a calf’s foot, and they sparkled like the appearance of glowing brass.
8在四面的翅膀以下有人的手。這四個活物的臉和翅膀乃是這樣：
8And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides: and they bad faces, and wings on the four sides,
9翅膀彼此相接，行走並不轉身，俱各直往前行。
9And the wings of one were joined to the wings of another. They turned not when they went: but every one went straight forward.
10至於臉的形像： 前面 各有人的臉，右面各有獅子的臉，左面各有牛的臉， 後面 各有鷹的臉。
10And as for the likeness of their faces: there was the face of a man, and the face of a lion on the right side of all the four: and the face of an ox, on the left side of all the four: and the face of an eagle over all the four.
11各展開上邊的兩個翅膀相接，各以 下邊的 兩個 翅膀 遮體。
11And their faces, and their wings were stretched upward: two wings of every one were joined, and two covered their bodies:
12他們俱各直往前行。靈往哪裏去，他們就往那裏去，行走並不轉身。
12And every one of them went straight forward: whither the impulse of the spirit was to go, thither they went: and they turned not when they went.
13至於四活物的形像，就如燒着火炭的形狀，又如火把的形狀。 火 在四活物中間上去下來，這火有光輝，從火中發出閃電。
13And as for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like that of burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps. This was the vision running to and fro in the midst of the living creatures, a bright fire, and lightning going forth from the fire.
14這活物往來奔走，好像電光一閃。
14And the living creatures ran and returned like flashes of lightning.
15我正觀看活物的時候，見活物的臉旁各有一輪在地上。
15Now as I beheld the living creatures, there appeared upon the earth by the living creatures one wheel with four faces.
16輪的形狀和顏色好像水蒼玉。四輪都是一個樣式，形狀和作法好像輪中套輪。
16And the appearance of the wheels, and the work of them was like the appearance of the sea: and the four had all one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the midst of a wheel.
17輪行走的時候，向四方都能直行，並不掉轉。
17When they went, they went by their four parts: and they turned not when they went.
18至於輪輞，高而可畏；四個輪輞周圍滿有眼睛。
18The wheels had also a size, and a height, and a dreadful appearance: and the whole body was full of eyes round about all the four.
19活物行走，輪也在旁邊行走；活物從地上升，輪也都上升。
19And when the living creatures went, the wheels also went together by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels also were lifted up with them.
20靈往哪裏去，活物就往那裏去；活物上升，輪也在活物旁邊上升，因為活物的靈在輪中。
20Whithersoever the spirit went, thither as the spirit went the wheels also were lifted up withal, and followed it: for the spirit of life was in the wheels.
21那些行走，這些也行走；那些站住，這些也站住；那些從地上升，輪也在旁邊上升，因為活物的靈在輪中。
21When those went these went, and when those stood these stood, and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels also were lifted up together, and followed them: for the spirit of life was in the wheels.
22活物的頭以上有穹蒼的形像，看着像可畏的水晶，鋪張在活物的頭以上。
22And over the heads of the living creatures was the likeness of the firmament, as the appearance of crystal terrible to behold, and stretched out over their heads above.
23穹蒼以下，活物的翅膀直張，彼此相對；每活物有兩個翅膀遮體。
23And under the firmament were their wings straight, the one toward the other, every one with two wings covered his body, and the other was covered in like manner.
24活物行走的時候，我聽見翅膀的響聲，像大水的聲音，像全能者的聲音，也像軍隊鬨嚷的聲音。活物站住的時候，便將翅膀垂下。
24And I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of many waters, as it were the voice of the most high God: when they walked, it was like the voice of a multitude, like the noise of an army, and when they stood, their wings were let down.
25在他們頭以上的穹蒼之上有聲音。他們站住的時候，便將翅膀垂下。
25For when a voice came from above the firmament, that was over their heads, they stood, and let down their wings.
26在他們頭以上的穹蒼之上有寶座的形像，彷彿藍寶石；在寶座形像以上有彷彿人的形狀。
26And above the firmament that was over their heads, was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of the sapphire stone, and upon the likeness of the throne, was a likeness as of the appearance of a man above upon it.
27我見從他腰以上有彷彿光耀的精金，周圍都有火的形狀，又見從他腰以下有彷彿火的形狀，周圍也有光輝。
27And I saw as it were the resemblance of amber as the appearance of fire within it round about: from his loins and upward, and from his loins downward, I saw as it were the resemblance of fire shining round about.
28下雨的日子，雲中虹的形狀怎樣，周圍光輝的形狀也是怎樣。 這就是耶和華榮耀的形像。我一看見就俯伏在地，又聽見一位說話的聲音。
28As the appearance of the rainbow when it is in a cloud on a rainy day: this was the appearance of the brightness round about.
