Xayawaanka Nool Iyo Ammaanta Rabbiga

Haddaba sannaddii soddonaad, bisheedii afraad, maalinteedii shanaad, anigoo maxaabiistii Webi Kebaar ag joogtay ku dhex jira ayaa samooyinkii furmeen, oo waxaan arkay wax layga tusay xagga Ilaah. Boqor Yehooyaakiin maxaabiis ahaantiisii sannaddeedii shanaad bisha maalinteedii shanaad ayaa eraygii Rabbigu dalkii reer Kaldayiin ugu yimid wadaadkii Yexesqeel ina Buusii, isagoo Webi Kebaar ag jooga, oo halkaasay gacantii Rabbigu isagii ku kor saarnayd.

Oo intaan wax fiirinayay waxaa ii muuqday dabayl duufaan ah oo xagga woqooyi ka timid, iyo daruur weyn, iyo dab iyada ku dhex jira, iyo iftiin hareereheeda ka widhwidhaya, oo dhexdeedana waxaa ku jiray wax la moodo sidii dhuxul cadaatay oo dab ka dhex dhalaalaysa. Oo waxaa dhexdeedii ka soo baxay wax u eg afar xayawaan. Oo muuqashadooduna sidanay ahayd: waxay lahaayeen nin ekaantiis. Oo midkood kastaaba wuxuu lahaa afar weji, oo midkood kastaaba wuxuu lahaa afar baal. Oo cagahooduna waxay ahaayeen cago toosan, oo baabacada cagahooduna waxay u ekayd weyl baabaceeda, oo waxay u dhalaalayeen sidii naxaas la safeeyey. Oo baalashooda hoostoodana waxay ku lahaayeen nin gacmihiis oo kale oo afarta dhinacba uga yaal, oo afartooduba saasay u lahaayeen wejiyadooda iyo baalashoodaba. Oo baalashooduna midba midka kaluu ku dhegganaa, oo markay socdeenna ma ay leexleexan ee midkood kastaaba hortiisuu qummaati ugu dhaqaaqay. 10 Oo xagga ekaanta wejiyadooduna waxay wada lahaayeen nin wejigiis, oo afartooduba dhanka midig waxay ku lahaayeen weji libaax, oo afartooduba waxay dhanka bidix ku lahaayeen weji dibi; oo weliba afartoodu waxay lahaayeen weji gorgor. 11 Wejiyadoodu saasay ahaayeen, oo baalashooduna kor bay u kala fidsanaayeen, oo midkood kastaaba laba baal ayuu midka kan kale kula dhegganaa, oo labana waxay ku daboolnaayeen jidhkooda. 12 Oo midkood kastaaba hortiisuu qummaati ugu dhaqaaqay, oo waxay tageen meel alla meeshuu ruuxu tegayoba, oo markay socdeenna ma ay leexleexan. 13 Oo xagga ekaanta xayawaanka waxay u ekaayeen dab qaxmaya dhuxulihiis iyo qoryo ololaya. Oo xayawaanka dhexdooduu hor iyo dib iska daba noqnoqonayay, oo dabkuna wuu dhalaal dheeraa, oo waxaa dabka ka soo baxayay hillaac. 14 Oo xayawaankuna sidii hillaaca biriqdiisa oo kale ayay u ordeen oo u soo noqdeen. 15 Haddaba intii aan xayawaanka fiirinayay waxaan arkay giraangir dhulka korkiisa iyo xayawaanka dhinacooda taal, oo mid kastaaba wuxuu u yiil afarta weji. 16 Oo giraangiraha waxay u ekaayeen midabka berullos oo kale, oo afartoodiiba way isu ekaayeen, oo muuqashadoodii iyo farsamadii loo sameeyeyna waxaa la mooday sidii giraangir giraangir kale ku dhex jirta. 17 Oo markay tageenna waxay ku socdeen afartooda dhinac, oo mana ay leexleexan markay socdeen. 18 Oo wareegyadooduna aad bay u dheeraayeen, waxayna ahaayeen wax aad iyo aad looga cabsado, oo afartoodaba wareegyadooda waxaa ka buuxay indho miidhan. 19 Oo markay xayawaanku socdeenba giraangiruhuna way dhinac socdeen, oo xayawaankii markii dhulka kor looga qaadayba giraangirihiina kor baa loo qaaday. 20 Oo meel alla meeshii ruuxu tegeyba iyaguna way tageen, oo giraangirihiina iyagay la sara keceen, waayo, ruuxii xayawaanku wuxuu ku jiray giraangirihii. 21 Markii kuwaasu tageen, kuwanuna way tageen, oo markii kuwaasu istaageenna, kuwanuna way istaageen, oo markii kuwaas dhulka kor looga qaadayna giraangirihiina dhinacoodaa kor loola qaaday, waayo, ruuxii xayawaanku wuxuu ku jiray giraangirihii. 22 Xayawaanka madaxoodana waxaa ka korreeyey cir ekaantiisa la moodo baraf aad looga cabsado oo ku dul fidsan. 23 Oo cirka hoostiisa ayaa baalashoodu ku toosnaayeen, oo midba kan kale xaggiisuu u sii jeeday. Oo midkood kastaaba wuxuu lahaa laba baal oo dhinacan uga daboolan iyo laba baal oo jidhkiisa dhinacaas ugu daboolan. 24 Oo markay socdeenba waxaan maqlay sanqadhii baalashooda oo la moodo sida biyo badan guuxood, iyo sida Ilaaha Qaadirka ah codkiisii, iyo buuq sanqadhiis la moodo sidii ciidan hugunkiis oo kale. Oo markay istaageenna baalashoodii bay dejiyeen. 25 Oo cod baa ka yeedhay cirkii madaxooda ka korreeyey, oo markay istaageen baalashooda bay dejiyeen. 26 Oo cirkii madaxooda ka korreeyey dushiisana waxaa ka muuqday wax carshi u eg oo ekaantiisa la moodo sidii dhagax safayr ah, oo waxaa wixii carshiga la moodo dushiisa ka muuqday wax nin u eg. 27 Oo qaarkiisa hore wuxuu iila ekaa dhuxul cadaatay oo uu dab ku jiro oo hareerihiisa ku wareegsan, oo qaarkiisa dambena wuxuu iila ekaa sidii dab oo kale, oo hareerihiisana waxaa ku wareegsanaa iftiin dhalaalaya. 28 Oo ekaantii iftiinku ku wareegsanaana waxay u ekayd qaansoroobaad maalin roobeed daruurta ku taal. Taasu waxay ahayd ekaantii ammaanta Rabbiga. Oo markaan arkay ayaan wejiga u dhacay, oo waxaan maqlay mid hadlaya codkiis.

Ezekiel’s Inaugural Vision

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.

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

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) and in the fire was what looked like four living creatures.(K) In appearance their form was human,(L) but each of them had four faces(M) and four wings. Their legs were straight; their feet were like those of a calf and gleamed like burnished bronze.(N) Under their wings on their four sides they had human hands.(O) All four of them had faces and wings, 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.
