Ezekiel 1

Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)

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. ²Ikalimang^(B) araw noon ng ikaapat na buwan ng ikalimang taon ng pagkatapon kay Haring Jehoiakin. ³Ako na isang pari at anak ni Buzi ay nasa Babilonia sa baybayin ng Ilog Kebar nang magpahayag sa akin si Yahweh.

⁴Nang 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. ⁵Sa^(C) sentro ng bagyong ito, may apat na nilalang na buháy na anyong tao. ⁶Sila'y may tig-aapat na mukha at pakpak. ⁷Tuwid ang kanilang mga binti. Ang mga paa nila'y parang paa ng guya at tila makinang na tanso. ⁸Nasa ilalim ng kanilang mga pakpak ang kanilang mga kamay na parang kamay ng tao. ⁹Magkakadikit ang kanilang mga pakpak. Hindi na sila kailangang pumihit saanman nila gustong pumunta sapagkat nakaharap sila kahit saan. ¹⁰Sa^(D) harap, mukha silang tao. Sa kanang tagiliran, mukhang leon. Sa kaliwa naman ay mukha silang toro at mukhang agila sa likuran. ¹¹Ang tig-dalawa nilang pakpak ay nakabukang pataas at magkaabot ang dulo. Ang tig-dalawa naman ay nakatakip sa kanilang katawan. ¹²Hindi na nga sila kailangang pumihit saanman nila gustong pumunta sapagkat nakaharap sila sa lahat ng dako. ¹³Sa^(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. ¹⁴Ang apat na nilalang ay nagpaparoo't paritong simbilis ng kidlat.

¹⁵Nang^(F) tingnan kong muli ang apat na nilalang, may nakita akong tig-isang gulong sa tabi nila. ¹⁶Ang mga ito ay kumikislap na parang topaz. Iisa ang ayos nila at parang ang isa'y nakapaloob sa isa. ¹⁷Ang mga ito'y hindi na kailangang ipihit saanman ito gustong pagulungin pagkat nakaharap kahit saan. ¹⁸Ang^(G) bawat gulong ay puno ng mga mata sa palibot. ¹⁹Paglakad ng apat na nilalang, kasunod ang mga gulong. Kapag sila'y tumaas, tumataas din ang mga gulong. ²⁰Saanman gumawi ang apat na nilalang ay kasunod ang apat na gulong pagkat ang apat na nilalang ang nagpapagalaw sa apat na gulong. ²¹Kaya 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.

²²Sa^(H) ulunan ng apat na nilalang, naroon ang isang bubungang tila kristal. ²³Sa ilalim nito'y magkakaabot na nakabuka ang tigalawang pakpak ng apat na nilalang, at ang tigalawa'y nakatakip sa kanilang katawan. ²⁴Nang^(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. ²⁵At 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.

²⁶Sa^(J) ibabaw ng bubungan, naroon ang tila tronong yari sa safiro at may nakaupong parang isang tao. ²⁷Mula^(K) sa baywang nito pataas ay may nagniningning na tila makinis na tanso. Sa ibaba naman ay may nakapalibot na apoy na nakakasilaw, ²⁸na 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 1

Ang Biblia (1978)

Ang apat na kerubin na pangitain ni Ezekiel.

1 Nangyari nga nang ikatatlong pung taon, sa ikaapat na buwan, nang ikalimang araw ng buwan, samantalang ako'y kasama ng mga bihag sa pangpang ng ilog Chebar, na ^(A)ang langit ay nabuksan, at ako'y nakakita ng mga ^(B)pangitain mula sa Dios.

²Nang ikalimang araw ng buwan, na siyang ikalimang taon ng ^(C)pagkabihag ng haring Joacim,

³Ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating na maliwanag kay Ezekiel na ^(D)saserdote, na anak ni Buzi, sa lupain ng mga Caldeo sa pangpang ng ilog Chebar: at ang kamay ng Panginoon, ^(E)ay sumasa kaniya.

⁴At ako'y tumingin, at, narito, ^(F)isang unos na hangin ay ^(G)lumabas na mula sa hilagaan, na isang malaking ulap, na may isang apoy na naglilikom sa sarili, at isang ningning sa palibot, at mula sa gitna niyao'y may parang metal na nagbabaga, mula sa gitna ng apoy.

⁵At mula ^(H)sa gitna niyao'y nanggaling ang kahawig ng apat na nilalang na may buhay. At ito ang kanilang anyo, Sila'y nakawangis ng isang tao;

⁶At bawa't isa ay may apat na mukha, at bawa't isa sa kanila ay may apat na pakpak.

⁷At ang kanilang mga paa ay mga matuwid na paa; at ang talampakan ng kanilang mga paa ay parang talampakan ng paa ng isang guya; at sila'y nagsisikinang ^(I)na parang kulay ng tansong binuli.

⁸At sila'y may mga kamay ng tao sa ilalim ng kanilang mga pakpak ^(J)sa kanilang apat na tagiliran; at silang apat ay may kanilang mga mukha, at may kanilang mga pakpak na ganito:

⁹Ang kanilang mga pakpak ay nagkakadaitan; sila'y ^(K)hindi nagsisipihit nang sila'y yumaon; yumaon bawa't isa sa kanila na patuloy.

¹⁰Tungkol sa anyo ng kanilang mga mukha, sila'y may mukhang tao; at silang apat ay may mukha ng leon sa kanang tagiliran; at silang apat ay may mukha ng baka sa kaliwang tagiliran; silang apat ay may mukha rin ng aguila.

¹¹At ang kanilang mga mukha at ang kanilang mga pakpak ay magkahiwalay sa itaas: dalawang pakpak ng bawa't isa ay nagkakadaitan at ang dalawa ay nagsisitakip ng kanilang mga katawan.

¹²At yumaon bawa't isa sa kanila na patuloy; ^(L)kung saan naparoroon ang espiritu, doon sila nangaparoroon; sila'y hindi nagsisipihit nang sila'y yumaon.

¹³Tungkol sa anyo ng mga nilalang na may buhay, ang kanilang katulad ay parang mga ^(M)bagang nagniningas; ^(N)parang mga sulo: ang apoy ay tumataas at bumababa sa gitna ng mga nilalang na may buhay at ang apoy ay maningas, at mula sa apoy ay may lumabas na kidlat.

¹⁴At ang mga nilalang na may buhay ay nagsitakbo at nagsibalik na parang ^(O)kislap ng kidlat.

Ang apat na gulong na pangitain ni Ezekiel.

¹⁵^(P)Samantala ngang minamasdan ko ang mga nilalang na may buhay, narito, ang isang gulong sa lupa sa siping ng mga nilalang na may buhay, sa bawa't isa ng apat na mukha ng mga yaon.

¹⁶^(Q)Ang anyo ng mga gulong at ng kanilang pagkayari ay parang kulay ng berilo: at ang apat na yaon ay may isang anyo: at ang kanilang anyo at ang kanilang pagkayari ay parang isang gulong sa loob ng isang gulong.

¹⁷Pagka yumaon, nagsisiyaon sa kanilang apat na dako: hindi nagsisipihit nang sila'y yumaon.

¹⁸Tungkol sa kanilang mga Rueda ay matataas at kakilakilabot; at itong apat ay may kanilang mga llanta na puno ng mga mata sa palibot.

¹⁹At pagka ang mga nilalang na may buhay ay nagsisiyaon, ang mga gulong ay nagsisiyaon sa siping nila; at pagka ang mga nilalang na may buhay ay nangatataas mula sa lupa, ang mga gulong ay nangatataas.

²⁰^(R)Kung saan naparoroon ang espiritu ay nangaparoroon sila; doon pinaparoonan ng espiritu; at ang mga gulong ay nangatataas sa siping nila; sapagka't ang espiritu ng nilalang na may buhay ay nasa mga gulong.

²¹Pagka ang mga yaon ay nagsisiyaon, ang mga ito'y nagsisiyaon; at pagka ang mga yaon ay nagsisitayo, ang mga ito ay nagsisitayo; at pagka ang mga yaon ay nangatataas mula sa lupa, ang mga gulong ay nangatataas sa siping nila; sapagka't ang espiritu ng nilalang na may buhay ay nasa mga gulong.

Ang kaluwalhatian na pangitain ni Ezekiel.

²²At sa ibabaw ng ulo ^(S)ng nilalang na may buhay, may kawangis ng langit, na parang kulay ng kakilakilabot na ^(T)bubog, na nakaunat sa itaas ng kanilang mga ulo.

²³At sa ilalim ng langit ay nakaunat ang kanilang mga pakpak, na ang isa ay sa gawi ng isa: bawa't isa'y may dalawa na tumatakip ng kaniyang katawan sa dakong ito, at bawa't isa'y may dalawa na tumatakip sa dakong yaon.

²⁴At ^(U)nang sila'y magsiyaon, aking narinig ang pagaspas ng kanilang mga pakpak na ^(V)parang hugong ng maraming tubig, ^(W)parang tinig ng ^(X)Makapangyarihan sa lahat, na hugong ng kagulo na gaya ng kaingay ng isang hukbo: pagka sila'y nagsisitayo, kanilang ibinababa ang kanilang mga pakpak.

²⁵At may tinig na nagmula sa itaas ng langit na nasa ibabaw ng kanilang mga ulo: pagka sila'y nagsisitayo, kanilang ibinababa ang kanilang mga pakpak.

²⁶At sa itaas ng langit ^(Y)na nasa itaas ng kanilang mga ulo ay may kawangis ng isang luklukan ^(Z)na parang anyo ng batong zafiro; at sa ibabaw ng kawangis ng luklukan ay may kawangis ng isang tao sa itaas niyaon.

²⁷At ako'y nakakita ^(AA)ng parang metal na nagbabaga, na parang anyo ng apoy sa loob niyaon, na nakikita mula sa kaniyang mga balakang na paitaas; at mula sa kaniyang mga balakang na paibaba ay nakakita ako ng parang anyo ng apoy, at may ningning sa palibot niyaon.

²⁸^(AB)Kung paano ang anyo ng bahaghari ^(AC)na nasa alapaap sa kaarawan ng ulan, gayon ang anyo ng kinang sa palibot. Ito ang anyo ng ^(AD)kaluwalhatian ng Panginoon. ^(AE)At nang aking makita, ako'y nasubasob, at aking narinig ang tinig ng isang nagsasalita.

Ezekiel 1

New International Version

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.

²On the fifth of the month—it was the fifth year of the exile of King Jehoiachin^(E)— ³the 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)

⁴I 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) ⁵and in the fire was what looked like four living creatures.^(K) In appearance their form was human,^(L) ⁶but each of them had four faces^(M) and four wings. ⁷Their legs were straight; their feet were like those of a calf and gleamed like burnished bronze.^(N) ⁸Under their wings on their four sides they had human hands.^(O) All four of them had faces and wings, ⁹and the wings of one touched the wings of another. Each one went straight ahead; they did not turn as they moved.^(P)

¹⁰Their 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) ¹¹Such 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. ¹²Each one went straight ahead. Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, without turning as they went.^(S) ¹³The 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. ¹⁴The creatures sped back and forth like flashes of lightning.^(V)

¹⁵As I looked at the living creatures,^(W) I saw a wheel^(X) on the ground beside each creature with its four faces. ¹⁶This 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. ¹⁷As 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. ¹⁸Their rims were high and awesome, and all four rims were full of eyes^(AA) all around.

¹⁹When the living creatures moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the living creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose. ²⁰Wherever 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. ²¹When 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)

²²Spread out above the heads of the living creatures was what looked something like a vault,^(AD) sparkling like crystal, and awesome. ²³Under the vault their wings were stretched out one toward the other, and each had two wings covering its body. ²⁴When 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.

²⁵Then there came a voice from above the vault over their heads as they stood with lowered wings. ²⁶Above 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) ²⁷I 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) ²⁸Like 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.

Ezekiel in Babylon

1 ^(A)In the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I was among the exiles by ^(B)the Chebar canal, ^(C)the heavens were opened, and I saw ^(D)visions of God.^[a] ²On the fifth day of the month (it was ^(E)the fifth year of ^(F)the exile of King Jehoiachin), ³the word of the Lord came to Ezekiel ^(G)the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by ^(H)the Chebar canal, and ^(I)the hand of the Lord was upon him there.

The Glory of the Lord

⁴As I looked, behold, ^(J)a stormy wind came ^(K)out of the north, and a great cloud, with ^(L)brightness around it, and fire flashing forth continually, and in the midst of the fire, ^(M)as it were gleaming metal.^[b] ⁵And from the midst of it came the likeness of ^(N)four living creatures. ^(O)And this was their appearance: they had a human likeness, ⁶^(P)but each had four faces, and each of them had four wings. ⁷Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the sole of a calf's foot. And they sparkled ^(Q)like burnished bronze. ⁸Under their wings ^(R)on their four sides ^(S)they had human hands. And the four had their faces and their wings thus: ⁹their wings touched one another. ^(T)Each one of them went straight forward, ^(U)without turning as they went. ¹⁰As for the likeness of their faces, ^(V)each had a human face. The four had the face of a lion on the right side, the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and the four had the face of an eagle. ¹¹Such were their faces. And their wings were spread out above. Each creature had two wings, each of which touched the wing of another, while ^(W)two covered their bodies. ¹²^(X)And each went straight forward. ^(Y)Wherever the spirit^[c] would go, they went, without turning as they went. ¹³As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was ^(Z)like burning coals of fire, ^(AA)like the appearance of torches moving to and fro among the living creatures. ^(AB)And the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning. ¹⁴And the living creatures ^(AC)darted to and fro, ^(AD)like the appearance of a flash of lightning.

¹⁵^(AE)Now as I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the earth beside the living creatures, one for each of the four of them.^[d] ¹⁶^(AF)As for the appearance of the wheels and their construction: their appearance was like ^(AG)the gleaming of beryl. ^(AH)And the four had the same likeness, their appearance and construction being as it were a wheel within a wheel. ¹⁷^(AI)When they went, they went ^(AJ)in any of their four directions^[e] ^(AK)without turning as they went. ¹⁸And their rims were tall and awesome, ^(AL)and the rims of all four were full of eyes all around. ¹⁹^(AM)And when the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; ^(AN)and when the living creatures rose from the earth, the wheels rose. ²⁰^(AO)Wherever the spirit wanted to go, they went, and the wheels rose along with them, ^(AP)for the spirit of the living creatures^[f] was in the wheels. ²¹^(AQ)When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; ^(AR)and when those rose from the earth, the wheels rose along with them, ^(AS)for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

²²Over the heads of the living creatures there was ^(AT)the likeness of an expanse, shining like awe-inspiring ^(AU)crystal, spread out above their heads. ²³And under the expanse their wings were ^(AV)stretched out straight, one toward another. ^(AW)And each creature had two wings covering its body. ²⁴And when they went, I heard the sound of their wings ^(AX)like the sound of many waters, like ^(AY)the sound of the ^(AZ)Almighty, a sound of tumult ^(BA)like the sound of an army. When they stood still, they let down their wings. ²⁵And there came a voice from above ^(BB)the expanse over their heads. When they stood still, they let down their wings.

²⁶And above the expanse over their heads there was ^(BC)the likeness of a throne, ^(BD)in appearance ^(BE)like sapphire;^[g] and seated above the likeness of a throne was ^(BF)a likeness with a human appearance. ²⁷And ^(BG)upward from what had the appearance of his waist I saw as it were ^(BH)gleaming metal, like the appearance of fire enclosed all around. And downward from what had the appearance of his waist I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and ^(BI)there was brightness around him.^[h] ²⁸Like the appearance of ^(BJ)the bow that is in the cloud on the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around.

Such was the appearance of the likeness of ^(BK)the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, ^(BL)I fell on my face, and I heard the voice of one speaking.
