Ezekiel 1

Biblija Hrvatski	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Godine tridesete, četvrtoga mjeseca, petoga dana, kad bijah među izgnanicima na rijeci Kebaru, otvoriše se nebesa i ja ugledah božanska viđenja.	1 In the thirtieth year, on the fifth day of the fourth month, while I was among the exiles by the river Chebar, the heavens opened, and I saw divine visions.--
2 Petoga dana istoga mjeseca – godine pete otkako odvedoše u izgnanstvo kralja Jojakima –	2 On the fifth day of the month, the fifth year, that is, of King Jehoiachin's exile,
3 riječ Jahvina dođe Ezekielu, sinu Buzijevu, svećeniku u zemlji kaldejskoj, na rijeci Kebaru. Spusti se na me ruka Jahvina.	3 the word of the LORD came to the priest Ezekiel, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar.--There the hand of the LORD came upon me.
4 Pogledah, kad ono sa sjevera udario silan vihor, velik oblak, bukteći oganj obavijen sjajem; usred njega, usred ognja, nešto nalik na sjajnu kovinu.	4 As I looked, a stormwind came from the North, a huge cloud with flashing fire (enveloped in brightness), from the midst of which (the midst of the fire) something gleamed like electrum.
5 Usred toga nešto kao četiri bića, obličjem slična čovjeku;	5 Within it were figures resembling four living creatures that looked like this: their form was human,
6 svako od njih s četiri obraza, u svakoga četiri krila.	6 but each had four faces and four wings,
7 Noge im ravne, a stopala kao u teleta; sijevahu poput glatke mjedi.	7 and their legs went straight down; the soles of their feet were round. They sparkled with a gleam like burnished bronze.
8 Ispod krila imahu na sve četiri strane ruke čovječje. I svako od njih četvero imaše svoj obraz i svoja krila.	8 Human hands were under their wings, and the wings of one touched those of another.
9 Krila im se spajahu jedno s drugim. Idući, ne okretahu se: svako se naprijed kretaše.	9 Their faces (and their wings) looked out on all their four sides; they did not turn when they moved, but each went straight forward.
10 I u sva četiri bijaše lice čovječje; u sva četiri zdesna lice lavlje; u sva četiri slijeva lice volujsko; i lice orlovsko u sva četiri.	10 Their faces were like this: each of the four had the face of a man, but on the right side was the face of a lion, and on the left side the face of an ox, and finally each had the face of an eagle.
11 Krila im bijahu gore raskriljena. Svako imaše dva krila što se spajahu i dva krila kojim tijelo pokrivahu.	11 Each had two wings spread out above so that they touched one another's, while the other two wings of each covered his body.
12 I svako iđaše samo naprijed. A iđahu onamo kamo ih je duh gonio. I ne okretahu se idući.	12 (Each went straight forward; wherever the spirit wished to go, there they went; they did not turn when they moved.)
13 A posred tih bića vidjelo se kao neko užareno ugljevlje, kao goruće zublje koje se među njima kretahu; iz ognja sijevaše i munje bljeskahu.	13 In among the living creatures something like burning coals of fire could be seen; they seemed like torches, moving to and fro among the living creatures. The fire gleamed, and from it came forth flashes of lightning.
14 Bića trčahu i opet se vraćahu poput munje.
15 Dok ja promatrah, gle: na zemlji uza svako od četiri bića po jedan točak.	15 As I looked at the living creatures, I saw wheels on the ground, one beside each of the four living creatures.
16 Točkovi bijahu slični krizolitu, sva četiri istoga oblika; oblikom i napravom bijahu kao da je jedan točak u drugome.	16 The wheels had the sparkling appearance of chrysolite, and all four of them looked the same: they were constructed as though one wheel were within another.
17 U kretanju mogli su ići u sva četiri smjera a nisu se morali okretati.	17 They could move in any of the four directions they faced, without veering as they moved.
18 Naplatnice im bijahu visoke, a kad bolje promotrih, gle, na sve strane pune očiju.	18 The four of them had rims, and I saw that their rims were full of eyes all around.
19 Kad bi bića krenula, krenuli bi s njima i točkovi; kad bi se bića s tla podigla, i točkovi se podizahu.	19 When the living creatures moved, the wheels moved with them; and when the living creatures were raised from the ground, the wheels also were raised.
20 Kuda ih je duh gonio, onuda se kretahu, a zajedno se s njima i točkovi podizali, jer duh bića bijaše u točkovima.	20 Wherever the spirit wished to go, there the wheels went, and they were raised together with the living creatures; for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
21 Pa kad su bića krenula, i točkovi bi krenuli, a kad bi se ona zaustavila, ustavljali se i točkovi; kad se ona s tla dizahu, i točkovi se s njima podizahu, jer duh bića bijaše u točkovima.
22 Nad glavama bića bijaše nešto kao svod nebeski, nalik na sjajan prozirac, uzdignut nad njihovim glavama.	22 Over the heads of the living creatures, something like a firmament could be seen, seeming like glittering crystal, stretched straight out above their heads.
23 A pod svodom raskriljena krila, jedno prema drugome: svakome po dva krila pokrivahu tijelo.	23 Beneath the firmament their wings were stretched out, one toward the other. (Each of them had two covering his body.)
24 Čuh lepet njihovih krila kao huk velikih voda, kao glas Svesilnog, kao silan vihor, kao graju u taboru. Kad bi se bića zaustavila, spustila bi krila.	24 Then I heard the sound of their wings, like the roaring of mighty waters, like the voice of the Almighty. When they moved, the sound of the tumult was like the din of an army. (And when they stood still, they lowered their wings.)
25 Sa svoda nad njihovim glavama čula se grmljavina.
26 Ispod svoda nad njihovim glavama bijaše nešto kao kamen safir, poput prijestolja: na tom kao prijestolju, gore na njemu, kao neki čovjek.	26 Above the firmament over their heads something like a throne could be seen, looking like sapphire. Upon it was seated, up above, one who had the appearance of a man.
27 I vidjeh kao sjajnu kovinu, iznutra i uokolo kao oganj; od njegovih bokova naviše i od njegovih bokova naniže nešto poput ognja i blijeska na sve strane.	27 Upward from what resembled his waist I saw what gleamed like electrum; downward from what resembled his waist I saw what looked like fire; he was surrounded with splendor.
28 Taj blijesak na sve strane bijaše poput duge što se za kišnih dana javlja u oblaku. To bijaše nešto kao slava Jahvina. Vidjeh, padoh ničice i čuh glas koji mi govoraše.ù	28 Like the bow which appears in the clouds on a rainy day was the splendor that surrounded him. Such was the vision of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. When I had seen it, I fell upon my face and heard a voice that said to me:
