Ang Pangitain tungkol sa Kaluwalhatian ng Diyos
1 Akong(A) si Ezekiel ay isa sa mga dinalang-bihag sa baybay ng Ilog Kebar. Noong ikalimang araw ng ikaapat na buwan ng ikatatlumpung taon, nabuksan ang langit at isang pangitain mula sa Diyos ang aking nakita. 2 Ikalimang(B) araw noon ng ikaapat na buwan ng ikalimang taon ng pagkatapon kay Haring Jehoiakin. 3 Ako na isang pari at anak ni Buzi ay nasa Babilonia sa baybayin ng Ilog Kebar nang magpahayag sa akin si Yahweh.
4 Nang ako'y tumingala, naramdaman ko ang malakas na hanging nagmumula sa hilaga at nakita ko ang makapal na ulap na naliligid ng liwanag. Tuwing kikidlat, may isang bagay na kumikislap, parang makinang na tanso. 5 Sa(C) sentro ng bagyong ito, may apat na nilalang na buháy na anyong tao. 6 Sila'y may tig-aapat na mukha at pakpak. 7 Tuwid ang kanilang mga binti. Ang mga paa nila'y parang paa ng guya at tila makinang na tanso. 8 Nasa ilalim ng kanilang mga pakpak ang kanilang mga kamay na parang kamay ng tao. 9 Magkakadikit ang kanilang mga pakpak. Hindi na sila kailangang pumihit saanman nila gustong pumunta sapagkat nakaharap sila kahit saan. 10 Sa(D) harap, mukha silang tao. Sa kanang tagiliran, mukhang leon. Sa kaliwa naman ay mukha silang toro at mukhang agila sa likuran. 11 Ang tig-dalawa nilang pakpak ay nakabukang pataas at magkaabot ang dulo. Ang tig-dalawa naman ay nakatakip sa kanilang katawan. 12 Hindi na nga sila kailangang pumihit saanman nila gustong pumunta sapagkat nakaharap sila sa lahat ng dako. 13 Sa(E) gitna nila ay may naglalagablab na apoy na parang sulo, at nagpapalipat-lipat sa apat na nilalang na buháy. Maningning ang liwanag niyon at pinagmumulan ng kidlat. 14 Ang apat na nilalang ay nagpaparoo't paritong simbilis ng kidlat.
15 Nang(F) tingnan kong muli ang apat na nilalang, may nakita akong tig-isang gulong sa tabi nila. 16 Ang mga ito ay kumikislap na parang topaz. Iisa ang ayos nila at parang ang isa'y nakapaloob sa isa. 17 Ang mga ito'y hindi na kailangang ipihit saanman ito gustong pagulungin pagkat nakaharap kahit saan. 18 Ang(G) bawat gulong ay puno ng mga mata sa palibot. 19 Paglakad ng apat na nilalang, kasunod ang mga gulong. Kapag sila'y tumaas, tumataas din ang mga gulong. 20 Saanman gumawi ang apat na nilalang ay kasunod ang apat na gulong pagkat ang apat na nilalang ang nagpapagalaw sa apat na gulong. 21 Kaya paglakad ng apat na nilalang, lakad din ang mga gulong. Pagtigil naman, tigil din sila. Pagtaas, taas din sila. Anuman ang gawin ng apat na nilalang ay ginagawa ng apat na gulong.
22 Sa(H) ulunan ng apat na nilalang, naroon ang isang bubungang tila kristal. 23 Sa ilalim nito'y magkakaabot na nakabuka ang tigalawang pakpak ng apat na nilalang, at ang tigalawa'y nakatakip sa kanilang katawan. 24 Nang(I) sila'y lumipad, parang lagaslas ng malaking baha ang dinig ko sa pagaspas ng kanilang mga pakpak; parang ugong ng tinig ng Diyos na Makapangyarihan, parang ragasa ng isang malaking hukbo. Nang sila'y tumigil, ibinabâ nila ang kanilang mga pakpak. 25 At mula sa ibabaw ng bubungan, narinig ang isang malakas na tinig. Nang tumigil nga ng paglipad ang apat na nilalang, binayaan nilang nakalaylay ang kanilang mga pakpak.
26 Sa(J) ibabaw ng bubungan, naroon ang tila tronong yari sa safiro at may nakaupong parang isang tao. 27 Mula(K) sa baywang nito pataas ay may nagniningning na tila makinis na tanso. Sa ibaba naman ay may nakapalibot na apoy na nakakasilaw, 28 na ang kulay ay parang bahaghari.
Ganyan ang katulad ng kaluwalhatian ni Yahweh. Nang makita ko ito, ako'y nagpatirapa, at may narinig akong tinig.

Ezekiel’s Inaugural Vision
1 In my thirtieth year, in the fourth month on the fifth day, while I was among the exiles(A) by the Kebar River,(B) the heavens were opened(C) and I saw visions(D) of God.
2 On the fifth of the month—it was the fifth year of the exile of King Jehoiachin(E)— 3 the word of the Lord came to Ezekiel(F) the priest, the son of Buzi, by the Kebar River in the land of the Babylonians.[a] There the hand of the Lord was on him.(G)
4 I looked, and I saw a windstorm(H) coming out of the north(I)—an immense cloud with flashing lightning and surrounded by brilliant light. The center of the fire looked like glowing metal,(J) 5 and in the fire was what looked like four living creatures.(K) In appearance their form was human,(L) 6 but each of them had four faces(M) and four wings. 7 Their legs were straight; their feet were like those of a calf and gleamed like burnished bronze.(N) 8 Under their wings on their four sides they had human hands.(O) All four of them had faces and wings, 9 and the wings of one touched the wings of another. Each one went straight ahead; they did not turn as they moved.(P)
10 Their faces looked like this: Each of the four had the face of a human being, and on the right side each had the face of a lion, and on the left the face of an ox; each also had the face of an eagle.(Q) 11 Such were their faces. They each had two wings(R) spreading out upward, each wing touching that of the creature on either side; and each had two other wings covering its body. 12 Each one went straight ahead. Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, without turning as they went.(S) 13 The appearance of the living creatures was like burning coals(T) of fire or like torches. Fire moved back and forth among the creatures; it was bright, and lightning(U) flashed out of it. 14 The creatures sped back and forth like flashes of lightning.(V)
15 As I looked at the living creatures,(W) I saw a wheel(X) on the ground beside each creature with its four faces. 16 This was the appearance and structure of the wheels: They sparkled like topaz,(Y) and all four looked alike. Each appeared to be made like a wheel intersecting a wheel. 17 As they moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the creatures faced; the wheels did not change direction(Z) as the creatures went. 18 Their rims were high and awesome, and all four rims were full of eyes(AA) all around.
19 When the living creatures moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the living creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose. 20 Wherever the spirit would go, they would go,(AB) and the wheels would rise along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. 21 When the creatures moved, they also moved; when the creatures stood still, they also stood still; and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels rose along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.(AC)
22 Spread out above the heads of the living creatures was what looked something like a vault,(AD) sparkling like crystal, and awesome. 23 Under the vault their wings were stretched out one toward the other, and each had two wings covering its body. 24 When the creatures moved, I heard the sound of their wings, like the roar of rushing(AE) waters, like the voice(AF) of the Almighty,[b] like the tumult of an army.(AG) When they stood still, they lowered their wings.
25 Then there came a voice from above the vault over their heads as they stood with lowered wings. 26 Above the vault over their heads was what looked like a throne(AH) of lapis lazuli,(AI) and high above on the throne was a figure like that of a man.(AJ) 27 I saw that from what appeared to be his waist up he looked like glowing metal, as if full of fire, and that from there down he looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded him.(AK) 28 Like the appearance of a rainbow(AL) in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him.(AM)
This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory(AN) of the Lord. When I saw it, I fell facedown,(AO) and I heard the voice of one speaking.

King James Version
1 Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
2 In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity,
3 The word of the Lord came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the Lord was there upon him.
4 And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire.
5 Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man.
6 And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings.
7 And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass.
8 And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings.
9 Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward.
10 As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle.
11 Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.
12 And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; and they turned not when they went.
13 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.
14 And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.
15 Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces.
16 The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel.
17 When they went, they went upon their four sides: and they turned not when they went.
18 As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round about them four.
19 And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.
20 Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
21 When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
22 And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as the colour of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above.
23 And under the firmament were their wings straight, the one toward the other: every one had two, which covered on this side, and every one had two, which covered on that side, their bodies.
24 And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of an host: when they stood, they let down their wings.
25 And there was a voice from the firmament that was over their heads, when they stood, and had let down their wings.
26 And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it.
27 And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about.
28 As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.
