| 1 | Now 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. | ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ τριακοστῷ ἔτει ἐν τῷ τετάρτῳ μηνὶ πέμπτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς, καὶ ἐγὼ ἤμην ἐν μέσῳ τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας ἐπὶ τοῦ ποταμοῦ τοῦ Χοβάρ· καὶ ἠνοίχθησαν οἱ οὐρανοὶ, καὶ ἴδον ὁράσεις Θεοῦ. |
| 2 | On the fifth day of the month, the same was the fifth year of the captivity of king Joachin, | Πέμπτῃ τοῦ μηνός· τοῦτο τὸ ἔτος τὸ πέμπτον τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας τοῦ βασιλέως Ἰωακείμ· |
| 3 | The 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. | Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς Ἰεζεκιὴλ υἱὸν Βουζεὶ, τὸν ἱερέα, ἐν γῇ Χαλδαίων, ἐπὶ τοῦ ποταμοῦ τοῦ Χοβάρ· καὶ ἐγένετο ἐπʼ ἐμὲ χεὶρ Κυρίου. |
| 4 | And 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: | Καὶ ἴδον, καὶ ἰδοὺ πνεῦμα ἐξαῖρον ἤρχετο ἀπὸ Βοῤῥᾶ, καὶ νεφέλη μεγάλη ἐν αὐτῷ, καὶ φέγγος κύκλῳ αὐτοῦ καὶ πῦρ ἐξαστράπτον· καὶ ἐν τῷ μέσῳ αὐτοῦ ὡς ὅρασις ἠλέκτρου ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ πυρὸς, καὶ φέγγος ἐν αὐτῷ. |
| 5 | And in the midst thereof the likeness of four living creatures: and this was their appearance: there was the likeness of a man in them. | Καὶ ἐν τῷ μέσῳ ὡς ὁμοίωμα τεσσάρων ζῴων· καὶ αὕτη ἡ ὅρασις αὐτῶν· ὁμοίωμα ἀνθρώπου ἐπʼ αὐτοῖς. |
| 6 | Every one had four faces, and every one four wings. | Καὶ τέσσαρα πρόσωπα τῷ ἑνὶ, καὶ τέσσαρες πτέρυγες τῷ ἑνί. |
| 7 | Their 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. | Καὶ τὰ σκέλη αὐτῶν ὀρθὰ, καὶ πτερωτοὶ οἱ πόδες αὐτῶν, καὶ σπινθῆρες, ὡς ἐξαστράπτων χαλκός· καὶ ἐλαφραὶ αἱ πτέρυγες αὐτῶν. |
| 8 | And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides: and they bad faces, and wings on the four sides, | Καὶ χεὶρ ἀνθρώπου ὑποκάτωθεν τῶν πτερύγων αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὰ τέσσαρα μέρη αὐτῶν. |
| 9 | And the wings of one were joined to the wings of another. They turned not when they went: but every one went straight forward. | Καὶ τὰ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν τῶν τεσσάρων οὐκ ἐπεστρέφοντο ἐν τῷ βαδίζειν αὐτά· ἕκαστον ἀπέναντι τοῦ προσώπου αὐτῶν ἐπορεύοντο. |
| 10 | And 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. | Καὶ ὁμοίωσις τῶν προσώπων αὐτῶν, πρόσωπον ἀνθρώπου, καὶ πρόσωπον τοῦ λέοντος ἐκ δεξιῶν τοῖς τέσσαρσι, καὶ πρόσωπον μόσχου ἐξ ἀριστερῶν τοῖς τέσσαρσι, καὶ πρόσωπον ἀετοῦ τοῖς τέσσαρσι. |
| 11 | And their faces, and their wings were stretched upward: two wings of every one were joined, and two covered their bodies: | Καὶ αἱ πτέρυγες αὐτῶν ἐκτεταμέναι ἄνωθεν τοῖς τέσσαρσιν, ἑκατέρῳ δύο συνεζευγμέναι πρὸς ἀλλήλας, καὶ δύο ἐπεκάλυπτον ἐπάνω τοῦ σώματος αὐτῶν. |
| 12 | And 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. | Καὶ ἑκάτερον κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐπορεύετο· οὗ ἂν ἦν τὸ πνεῦμα πορευόμενον ἐπορεύοντο, καὶ οὐκ ἐπέστρεφον. |
| 13 | And 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. | Καὶ ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ζώων ὅρασις ὡς ἀνθράκων πυρὸς καιομένων, ὡς ὄψις λαμπάδων συστρεφομένων ἀναμέσον τῶν ζώων, καὶ φέγγος τοῦ πυρὸς, καὶ ἐκ τοῦ πυρὸς ἐξεπορεύετο ἀστραπή. |
| 14 | And the living creatures ran and returned like flashes of lightning. | — |
| 15 | Now as I beheld the living creatures, there appeared upon the earth by the living creatures one wheel with four faces. | Καὶ ἴδον, καὶ ἰδοὺ τροχὸς εἷς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἐχόμενος τῶν ζώων τοῖς τέσσαρσι. |
| 16 | And 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. | Καὶ τὸ εἶδος τῶν τροχῶν ὡς εἶδος θαρσείς· καὶ ὁμοίωμα ἓν τοῖς τέσσαρσι· καὶ τὸ ἔργον αὐτῶν ἦν καθὼς ἂν εἴη τροχὸς ἐν τροχῷ. |
| 17 | When they went, they went by their four parts: and they turned not when they went. | Ἐπὶ τὰ τέσσαρα μέρη αὐτῶν ἐπορεύοντο· οὐκ ἐπέστρεφον ἐν τῷ πορεύεσθαι αὐτὰ, |
| 18 | The 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. | οὐδʼ οἱ νῶτοι αὐτῶν· καὶ ὕψος ἦν αὐτοῖς· καὶ ἴδον αὐτὰ, καὶ οἱ νῶτοι αὐτῶν πλήρεις ὀφθαλμῶν κυκλόθεν τοῖς τέσσαρσι. |
| 19 | And 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. | Καὶ ἐν τῷ πορεύεσθαι τὰ ζῶα, ἐπορεύοντο οἱ τροχοὶ ἐχόμενοι αὐτῶν· καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐξαίρειν τὰ ζῶα ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς, ἐξῄροντο οἱ τροχοί. |
| 20 | Whithersoever 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. | Οὗ ἂν ἦν ἡ νεφέλη, ἐκεῖ τὸ πνεῦμα τοῦ πορεύεσθαι, ἐπορεύοντο οἱ τροχοὶ καὶ ἐξῄροντο σὺν αὐτοῖς, διότι πνεῦμα ζωῆς ἐν τοῖς τροχοῖς. |
| 21 | When 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. | Ἐν τῷ πορεύεσθαι αὐτὰ ἐπορεύοντο, καὶ ἐν τῷ ἑστάναι αὐτὰ εἱστήκεισαν· καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐξαίρειν αὐτὰ ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς, ἐξῄροντο σὺν αὐτοῖς, ὅτι πνεῦμα ζωῆς ἦν ἐν τοῖς τροχοῖς. |
| 22 | And 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. | Καὶ ὁμοίωμα ὑπὲρ κεφαλῆς αὐτῶς τῶν ζώων ὡσεὶ στερέωμα, ὡς ὅρασις κρυστάλλου, ἐκτεταμένον ἐπὶ τῶν πτερύγων αὐτῶν ἐπάνωθεν. |
| 23 | And 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. | Καὶ ὑποκάτωθεν τοῦ στερεώματος αἱ πτέρυγες αὐτῶν ἐκτεταμέναι, πτερυσσόμεναι ἑτέρα τῇ ἑτέρᾳ, ἑκάστῳ δύο ἐπικαλύπτουσαι τὰ σώματα αὐτῶν. |
| 24 | And 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. | Καὶ ἤκουον τὴν φωνὴν τῶν πτερύγων αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ πορεύεσθαι αὐτὰ, ὡς φωνὴν ὕδατος πολλοῦ· καὶ ἐν τῷ ἑστάναι αὐτὰ, κατέπαυον αἱ πτέρυγες αὐτῶν. |
| 25 | For when a voice came from above the firmament, that was over their heads, they stood, and let down their wings. | Καὶ ἰδοὺ φωνὴ ὑπεράνωθεν τοῦ στερεώματος τοῦ ὄντος ὑπὲρ κεφαλῆς αὐτῶν, |
| 26 | And 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. | ὡς ὅρασις λίθου σαπφείρου, ὁμοίωμα θρόνου ἐπʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺ ὁμοιώματος του θρόνου ὁμοίωμα ὡς εἶδος ἀνθρώπου ἄνωθεν. |
| 27 | And 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. | Καὶ ἴδον ὡς ὄψιν ἠλέκτρου ἀπὸ ὁράσεως ὀσφύος καὶ ἐπάνω, καὶ ἀπὸ ὁράσεως ὀσφύος καὶ ἕως κάτω ἴδον ὅρασιν πυρὸς, καὶ τὸ φέγγος αὐτοῦ κύκλῳ, |
| 28 | As the appearance of the rainbow when it is in a cloud on a rainy day: this was the appearance of the brightness round about. | ὡς ὅρασις τόξου ὅταν ᾖ ἐν τῇ νεφέλῃ ἐν ἡμέραις ὑετοῦ, οὕτως ἡ στάσις τοῦ φέγγους κυκλόθεν. |
