1 H addaba 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.

On the fifth day of the fourth month in the thirtieth year, while I was by the Chebar River with the Jews who had been taken away from their land, the heavens were opened and I saw God in a special way.

2 B oqor Yehooyaakiin maxaabiis ahaantiisii sannaddeedii shanaad bisha maalinteedii shanaad

(On the fifth day of the month in the fifth year that King Jehoiachin had been living in a strange land,

3 a yaa eraygii Rabbigu dalkii reer Kaldayiin ugu yimid wadaadkii Yexesqeel ina Buusii, isagoo Webi Kebaar ag jooga, oo halkaasay gacantii Rabbigu isagii ku kor saarnayd.

the Word of the Lord came to Ezekiel the religious leader, son of Buzi, in the land of the Babylonians by the Chebar River. There the hand of the Lord came upon him.)

4 O o 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.

I looked and saw a wind storm coming from the north. There was a big cloud with lightning coming from it and with a bright light around it. Inside the fire was something like shining brass,

5 O o waxaa dhexdeedii ka soo baxay wax u eg afar xayawaan. Oo muuqashadooduna sidanay ahayd: waxay lahaayeen nin ekaantiis.

and in the fire was what looked like four living beings. They looked like men,

6 O o midkood kastaaba wuxuu lahaa afar weji, oo midkood kastaaba wuxuu lahaa afar baal.

but each of them had four faces and four wings.

7 O o cagahooduna waxay ahaayeen cago toosan, oo baabacada cagahooduna waxay u ekayd weyl baabaceeda, oo waxay u dhalaalayeen sidii naxaas la safeeyey.

Their legs were straight, and their feet were like those of a calf. They shined like bright brass.

8 O o baalashooda hoostoodana waxay ku lahaayeen nin gacmihiis oo kale oo afarta dhinacba uga yaal, oo afartooduba saasay u lahaayeen wejiyadooda iyo baalashoodaba.

Under their wings on their four sides were hands like a man’s. As for the faces and wings of the four of them,

9 O o baalashooduna midba midka kaluu ku dhegganaa, oo markay socdeenna ma ay leexleexan ee midkood kastaaba hortiisuu qummaati ugu dhaqaaqay.

their wings touched one another. Their faces did not turn when they moved. Each one moved straight ahead.

10 O o 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.

As for what their faces looked like, each of the four had the face of a man, the face of a lion on the right side, the face of a bull on the left side, and the face of an eagle.

11 W ejiyadoodu 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.

Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out above. Each had two wings touching the wings of another, and two covering their bodies.

12 O o midkood kastaaba hortiisuu qummaati ugu dhaqaaqay, oo waxay tageen meel alla meeshuu ruuxu tegayoba, oo markay socdeenna ma ay leexleexan.

And each one went straight ahead. Every place where the spirit would go, they would go, without turning as they went.

13 O o 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.

Between the living beings there was something that looked like burning coals of fire, like fire lamps moving from side to side among the living beings. The fire was bright, and lightning was coming out of the fire.

14 O o xayawaankuna sidii hillaaca biriqdiisa oo kale ayay u ordeen oo u soo noqdeen.

And the living beings ran this way and that, like lightning.

15 H addaba intii aan xayawaanka fiirinayay waxaan arkay giraangir dhulka korkiisa iyo xayawaanka dhinacooda taal, oo mid kastaaba wuxuu u yiil afarta weji.

As I looked at the living beings, I saw one wheel on the earth beside each of the living beings with its four faces.

16 O o 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.

The way the wheels were made, they looked like shining chrysolite stone. All four of them looked the same. They were made to look as if one wheel were within another.

17 O o markay tageenna waxay ku socdeen afartooda dhinac, oo mana ay leexleexan markay socdeen.

When they moved, they went in one of their four ways, without turning as they went.

18 O o wareegyadooduna aad bay u dheeraayeen, waxayna ahaayeen wax aad iyo aad looga cabsado, oo afartoodaba wareegyadooda waxaa ka buuxay indho miidhan.

The wheels were so high that they caused fear. And all four of them were full of eyes all around.

19 O o markay xayawaanku socdeenba giraangiruhuna way dhinac socdeen, oo xayawaankii markii dhulka kor looga qaadayba giraangirihiina kor baa loo qaaday.

When the living beings moved, the wheels moved with them. And when the living beings rose from the earth, the wheels rose also.

20 O o meel alla meeshii ruuxu tegeyba iyaguna way tageen, oo giraangirihiina iyagay la sara keceen, waayo, ruuxii xayawaanku wuxuu ku jiray giraangirihii.

Whatever way the spirit would go, they would go that way. And the wheels rose close beside them, for the spirit of the living beings was in the wheels.

21 M arkii 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.

When the living beings moved, they moved. When the beings stood still, they stood still. And when the beings rose up from the earth, the wheels rose close beside them. For the spirit of the living beings was in the wheels.

22 X ayawaanka madaxoodana waxaa ka korreeyey cir ekaantiisa la moodo baraf aad looga cabsado oo ku dul fidsan.

Over the heads of the living beings there was something that looked like the sky. It shined like crystal and spread over their heads.

23 O o 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.

Under this covering their wings were spread out straight, one toward the other. Each one also had two wings covering their bodies on one side and on the other.

24 O o 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.

When they went, I heard the sound of their wings. They sounded like many waters, like the voice of the All-powerful. They sounded like the noise of an army camp. Whenever they stood still, they let down their wings.

25 O o cod baa ka yeedhay cirkii madaxooda ka korreeyey, oo markay istaageen baalashooda bay dejiyeen.

A voice came from above the large covering over their heads. Whenever they stood still, they let down their wings.

26 O o 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.

Above the large covering that was over their heads there was something that looked like a throne, and looked like it was made of sapphire. Sitting on the throne was what looked like a man.

27 O o 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.

Then I saw that there was something like shining brass from the center of his body and up to his head. It looked like fire all around within it. And from the center of his body and down to his feet I saw something like fire. There was a bright light shining all around Him.

28 O o 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.

This light shining around Him looked like the rainbow in the clouds on a day of rain. This was what the shining-greatness of the Lord looked like. And when I saw it, I fell on my face and heard a voice speaking.
