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 in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river Chebar, the heavens were opened, and I saw 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、
2In the fifth of the month, which was the fifth year of King Jehoiachin’s captivity,
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 LORD’s word came to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the LORD’s hand was there on 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。
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 the middle of it as it were glowing metal, out of the middle of the fire.
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。
5Out of its center came the likeness of four living creatures. This was their appearance: They had the likeness of a man.
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。
6Everyone had four faces, and each one of them had 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. The sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf’s foot; and they sparkled like burnished bronze.
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。
8They had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides. The four of them had their faces and their wings like this:
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。
9Their wings were joined to one another. They didn’t turn when they went. Each 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。
10As for the likeness of their faces, they had the face of a man. The four of them had the face of a lion on the right side. 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.
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。
11Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out above. Two wings of each one touched another, 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。
12Each one went straight forward. Where the spirit was to go, they went. They didn’t turn 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。
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. The fire was bright, and lightning went out of the fire.
14生き物は、稲妻がひらめくように行き来した。
14The living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash 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 saw the living creatures, behold, there was one wheel on the earth beside the living creatures, for each of the four faces of it.
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。
16The appearance of the wheels and their work was like a beryl. The four of them had one likeness. Their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel within 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 in their four directions. They didn’t turn 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。
18As for their rims, they were high and dreadful; and the four of them had their rims full of eyes all around.
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。
19When the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them. When the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.
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。
20Wherever the spirit was to go, they went. The spirit was to go there. The wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of the living creature 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. When those stood, these stood. 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.
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。
22Over the head of the living creature there was the likeness of an expanse, like an awesome crystal to look at, 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。
23Under the expanse, their wings were straight, one toward the other. Each one had two which covered on this side, and each one had two which covered their bodies on that side.
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。
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.
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。
25There was a voice above the expanse that was over their heads. When they stood, they 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。
26Above the expanse that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone. On the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man on it above.
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。
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.
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 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 LORD’s glory. When I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of one that spoke.
