1第三十年、第四の月の五日、私がケバル川のほとりで捕囚の民の中にいた時、天が開かれ、私は神 の幻を見た。
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その月の五日、エホヤキン王が捕囚となって第五年に、
2On the fifth day of the month, the same was the fifth year of the captivity of king Joachin,
3カルデア人の地、ケバル川のほとりで、主 の言葉がブジの子である祭司エゼキエルに臨み、そこで主の御手が彼の上にあった。
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私が見ると、見よ、北から激しい風が吹いて来た。大きな雲があり、火がひらめき、その周囲には輝きがあった。火の中心からは、輝く金属のようなものが見えた。
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その中心から、四つの生き物に似たものが現れた。その姿は人に似ていた。
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それぞれに四つの顔があり、それぞれに四つの翼があった。
6Every one had four faces, and every one four wings.
7足はまっすぐで、足の裏は子牛のひづめの裏のようであり、磨かれた青銅のように輝いていた。
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.
8四方の翼の下には、人の手があった。四つの生き物の顔と翼は、次のようであった。
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翼は互いに触れ合っていた。進む時には向きを変えず、それぞれまっすぐ前へ進んだ。
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顔の形は、四つとも人の顔を持ち、右側には獅子の顔、左側には牛の顔があり、また四つとも鷲の顔を持っていた。
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その顔はこのようであった。翼は上方に広げられ、それぞれ二つの翼が隣の生き物の翼に触れ、残りの二つで体を覆っていた。
11And their faces, and their wings were stretched upward: two wings of every one were joined, and two covered their bodies:
12それぞれまっすぐ前へ進んだ。霊が行こうとする所へ彼らも行き、進む時に向きを変えなかった。
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生き物の姿は、燃える炭火のようであり、たいまつのように見えた。火が生き物の間を行き巡り、火は明るく、その火から稲妻が出ていた。
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生き物は、稲妻がひらめくように行き来した。
14And the living creatures ran and returned like flashes of lightning.
15私が生き物を見ていると、見よ、四つの生き物のそれぞれのそばに、地の上に一つずつ車輪があった。
15Now as I beheld the living creatures, there appeared upon the earth by the living creatures one wheel with four faces.
16車輪の外観と作りは緑柱石のように輝き、四つとも同じ形をしていた。その外観と作りは、一つの車輪の中に別の車輪があるようであった。
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進む時には四方のどの方向にも進み、進む時に向きを変えなかった。
17When they went, they went by their four parts: and they turned not when they went.
18車輪の縁は高く、恐ろしいほどであり、四つの車輪の縁には周囲一面に目があった。
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生き物が進むと、車輪もそのそばを進んだ。生き物が地から上がると、車輪も上 霊ががった。
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行こうとする所へ、生き物も進んだ。霊がそこへ行こうとしたからである。車輪も彼らとともに上がった。生き物の霊が車輪の中にあったからである。
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生き物が進むと車輪も進み、生き物が止まると車輪も止まった。生き物が地から上がると、車輪も彼らとともに上がった。生き物の霊が車輪の中にあったからである。
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生き物の頭上には、恐ろしいほどに輝く水晶のような大空があり、その頭上高く広がっていた。
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大空の下で、彼らは翼を互いに向けてまっすぐ伸ばしていた。それぞれ二つの翼で体の一方を覆い、二つの翼で体の他方を覆っていた。
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彼らが進む時、私はその翼の音を聞いた。それは大水のとどろきのようであり、全能者の声のようであり、軍勢の音のような激しい響きであった。彼らは止まる時、翼を垂れた。
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彼らの頭上の大空のさらに上から声がした。彼らは止まる時、翼を垂れた。
25For when a voice came from above the firmament, that was over their heads, they stood, and let down their wings.
26その頭上の大空の上には、サファイア のように見える王座に似たものがあった。その王座に似たものの上には、人の姿に似た方が座しておられた。
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私が見ると、その腰のように見える所から上は、火に包まれた輝く金属のようであり、腰のように見える所から下は火のようであった。また、その方の周囲には輝きがあった。
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その周囲の輝きは、雨の日に雲の中に現れる虹のようであった。 これが主の栄光に似たものの姿であった。私はそれを見ると、ひれ伏した。そして、語る方の声を聞いた。
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.
