1 A nd it cometh to pass, in the thirtieth year, in the fourth, in the fifth of the month, and I in the midst of the Removed by the river Chebar, the heavens have been opened, and I see visions of God.

Na i te toru tekau o nga tau, i te wha o nga marama, i te rima o nga ra o te marama, i ahau i roto i nga whakarau o te awa, o Kepara, na ka puare nga rangi, a ka kite ahau i nga putanga Atua.

2 I n the fifth of the month -- it is the fifth year of the removal of the king Jehoiachin --

I te rima o nga ra o te marama, ara i te rima o nga tau o to Kingi Iehoiakini whakaraunga,

3 h ath the word of Jehovah certainly been unto Ezekiel son of Buzi the priest, in the land of the Chaldeans, by the river Chebar, and there is on him there a hand of Jehovah.

Ka haere tika tonu mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a Ehekiera tohunga, tama a Puti, i te whenua o nga Karari, i te taha o te awa, o Kepara; a i runga te ringa o Ihowa i a ia i reira.

4 A nd I look, and lo, a tempestuous wind is coming from the north, a great cloud, and fire catching itself, and brightness to it round about, and out of its midst as the colour of copper, out of the midst of the fire.

A ka titiro atu ahau, na, he tukauati e puta mai ana i te raki, he kapua nui, he ahi e hoki iho ana ki roto ki a ia ano, wheriko tonu i tetahi taha, a i waenganui, i rite ki te kara o te amipere, i waenganui ano i te ahi.

5 A nd out of its midst a likeness of four living creatures, and this their appearance; a likeness of man to them,

Na ka puta mai i waenganui o taua ahi ko te ahua o nga mea ora e wha. Ko to ratou ahua ano tenei; i rite ratou ki te tangata.

6 a nd four faces to each, and four wings to each of them,

Na e wha nga mata o tetahi, o tetahi o ratou, e wha nga parirau o tetahi, o tetahi.

7 a nd their feet straight feet, and the sole of their feet as a sole of a calf's foot, and they are sparkling as the colour of bright brass;

Ko o ratou waewae, he waewae tika tonu; ko te kapu ano o o ratou waewae rite tonu ki te kapu o te waewae o te kuao kua: wheriko tonu, rite tonu ki te kanapatanga o te parahi kua oti te oro.

8 a nd hands of man under their wings -- on their four sides, and their faces and their wings -- to them four;

He ringa tangata ano o ratou i raro i o ratou parirau, i o ratou taha e wha: na, ko ratou tokowha, ko o ratou mata, ko o ratou parirau, koia tenei;

9 j oining one unto another their wings, they turn not round in their going, each straight forward they go.

He mea hono o ratou parirau tetahi ki tetahi; kihai ratou i tahuri i a ratou e haere ana; i haere tika tonu atu tetahi, tetahi.

10 A s to the likeness of their faces, the face of a man, and the face of a lion, toward the right to them four, and the face of an ox on the left to them four, and the face of an eagle to them four.

Na, ko te ahua o o ratou mata, he mata tangata o ratou; he mata raiona o ratou tokowha i te taha ki matua; he mata kau o ratou tokowha i te taha ki maui; he mata ekara ano o ratou tokowha.

11 A nd their faces and their wings are separate from above, to each two joining together, and two are covering their bodies.

Na, ko o ratou mata, ko o ratou parirau he mea wehe a runga: ko o te mea kotahi e rua nga parirau e piri ana tetahi ki tetahi, e rua hei hipoki mo o ratou tinana.

12 A nd each straight forward they go, whither the spirit is to go, they go, they turn not round in their going.

I haere tika tonu atu hoki ratou tetahi, tetahi: ko te wahi hei haerenga atu mo te wairua, haere ana ratou ki reira: kihai ratou i tahuri i a ratou e haere ana.

13 A s to the likeness of the living creatures, their appearances as coals of fire -- burning as the appearance of lamps; it is going up and down between the living creatures, and brightness to the fire, and out of the fire is going forth lightning.

Na, ko te rite o aua mea ora, ko to ratou ahua, koia ano kei te ngarahu ahi i te mea e ka ana, kei te ahua ano o te rama: i haereere taua ahi i roto i aua mea ora, mura tonu, i puta mai ano he uira i roto i te ahi.

14 A nd the living creatures are running, and turning back, as the appearance of the flash.

Na ko te oma, ko te hokinga o aua mea ora, rite tonu te ahua ki to te hikonga uira.

15 A nd I see the living creatures, and lo, one wheel in the earth, near the living creatures, at its four faces.

Na i taku tirohanga ki nga mea ora, nana, ko tetahi wira i runga i te whenua, i te taha o nga mea ora, kotahi mo te mea kotahi o ona mata e wha.

16 T he appearance of the wheels and their works as the colour of beryl, and one likeness to them four, and their appearances and their works as it were the wheel in the midst of the wheel.

Ko te ahua o nga wira, me to ratou mahinga, rite tonu te kara ki to te perira: rite tonu aua wira e wha; ko to ratou ahua, ko to ratou mahinga, me te mea he wira i roto i te wira.

17 O n their four sides, in their going they go, they turn not round in their going.

I to ratou haerenga i haere i runga i o ratou taha e wha; kihai i tahuri i a ratou e haere ana.

18 A s to their rings, they are both high and fearful, and their rings full of eyes round about them four.

Na, ko o ratou awhi, tiketike rawa, he hanga whakawehi, kapi tonu ano i te kanohi o ratou awhi i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, o ratou e wha.

19 A nd in the going of the living creatures, the wheels go beside them, and in the living creatures being lifted up from off the earth, lifted up are the wheels.

Na i te haerenga o nga mea ora i haere ano nga wira i to ratou taha; a ka ara nga mea ora i runga i te whenua, ka ara ano nga wira.

20 W hither the spirit is to go, they go, thither the spirit to go, and the wheels are lifted up over-against them, for a living spirit in the wheels.

Ko te wahi hei haerenga atu mo te wairua, i haere ratou ki reira; ko reira hei haerenga mo te wairua; i ara ano nga wira ki runga i to ratou ritenga atu: no te mea i roto i nga wira te wairua o te mea ora.

21 I n their going, they go; and in their standing, they stand; and in their being lifted up from off the earth, lifted up are the wheels over-against them; for a living spirit in the wheels.

I haere era, ka haere enei; i tu era, ka tu enei; a ka ara ake era i runga i te whenua, ka ara ano nga wira i to ratou ritenga atu; no te mea kei roto te wairua o te mea ora i nga wira.

22 A nd a likeness over the heads of the living creatures of an expanse, as the colour of the fearful ice, stretched out over their heads from above.

Na i runga ake i te mahunga o te mea ora ko te ahua o te kikorangi, rite tonu te kara ki to te karaihe e wehingia ana, he mea hora atu i runga i o ratou mahunga i te taha ki runga.

23 A nd under the expanse their wings straight, one toward the other, to each are two covering on this side, and to each are two covering on that side -- their bodies.

Na, i raro i te kikorangi, ko o ratou parirau, torotika tonu, anga tonu mai tetahi ki tetahi: o te mea kotahi e rua hei hipoki i tetahi taha, o te mea kotahi ano e rua hei hipoki i tera taha o o ratou tinana.

24 A nd I hear the noise of their wings, as the noise of many waters, as the noise of the Mighty One, in their going -- the noise of tumult, as the noise of a camp, in their standing they let fall their wings.

A i a ratou e haere ana, i rongo ahau i te haruru o o ratou parirau me te mea ko te haruru o nga wai maha, me te mea ano ko te reo o te Kaha Rawa, he reo e turituri ana, ano he nge no tetahi ope: i nga wa i tu ai ratou i tukua iho o ratou parira u.

25 A nd there is a voice from above the expanse, that above their head: in their standing they let fall their wings.

I puta iho ano he reo i te kikorangi i runga i o ratou mahunga; i te mea ka tu ratou, ka tukua iho o ratou parirau.

26 A nd above the expanse that over their head, as an appearance of a sapphire stone, the likeness of a throne, and on the likeness of the throne a likeness, as the appearance of man upon it from above.

Na, i runga i te kikorangi i runga ake i o ratou mahunga ko te ahua o tetahi torona, he mea rite ki te kohatu hapaira: a i runga i te ahua o te torona ko tetahi ahua e rite ana ki to te tangata i runga i taua torona, i te taha ki runga.

27 A nd I see as the colour of copper, as the appearance of fire within it round about, from the appearance of his loins and upward, and from the appearance of his loins and downward, I have seen as the appearance of fire, and brightness to it round about.

I kite atu ano ahau me te mea no te amipere te kara, he mea rite ki te ahua o te ahi i roto a taka noa, taka noa, i te ahua o tona hope, a haere whakarunga, i te ahua ano o tona hope, a haere whakararo, i kite atu ahau me te mea ko te ahua o te ahi, a wheriko tonu te marama i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha ona.

28 A s the appearance of the bow that is in a cloud in a day of rain, so the appearance of the brightness round about.

Rite tonu ki te ahua o te kopere i te kapua i te ra ua te ahua o te wherikotanga a taka noa. Ko te ahua tena, ko te ritenga o te kororia o Ihowa. No toku kitenga, tapapa ana ahau ki raro; na, ka rongo ahau i te reo o tetahi e korero ana.
