ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ τριακοστῷ ἔτει τετάρτῳ μηνὶ πέμπτη τοῦ ¹ μηνὸς καὶ ἐγὼ ἤμην ἐν μέσῳ τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας ἐπὶ τοῦ ποταμοῦ τοῦ Κοβάρ, καὶ ἠνοίχθησαν οἱ οὐρανοί, καὶ εἶδον ὁράσεις θεοῦ.

πέμπτῃ τοῦ μηνός, τοῦτο τὸ ἔτος τὸ πέμπτον τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας τοῦ βασιλέως Ἰωακείμ, (3)καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς Ἰεζεκιὴλ υἱὸν Βουζεὶ τὸν ἱερέα ἐν γῇ Χαλδαίων ἐπὶ τοῦ ποταμοῦ τοῦ Κοβάρ.

καὶ ἐγένετο ἐπʼ ἐμέ χεὶρ Κυρίου,

καὶ ἴδον, καὶ ἰδοὺ πνεῦμα ἐξαῖρον ἤρχετο ἀπὸ βορᾶ, καὶ νεφέλη μεγάλη ἐν αὐτῷ, καὶ φέγγος κύκλῳ αὐτοῦ καὶ πῦρ ἐξαστράπτον, καὶ ἐν τῷ μέσῳ αὐτοῦ ὡς ὄρασις ἠλέκτρου ἐν μέσα τοῦ πυρὸς καὶ φέγγος ἐν αὐτῷ.

καὶ ἐν τῷ μέσῳ ὡς ὁμοίωμα τεσσάρων ζώων· καὶ αὕτη ἡ ὅρασις αὐτῶν· ὁμοίωμα ἀνθρώπου ἐπʼ αὐτοῖς.

καὶ τέσσαρα πρόσωπα τῷ ἑνί, καὶ τέσσαρες πτέρυγες τῷ ἑνί

καὶ τὰ σκέλη αὐτῶν ὀρθά, καὶ πτερωτοὶ οἱ πόδες αὐτῶν, καὶ σπινθῆρες ὡς ἐξαστράπτων χαλκός· καὶ ἐλαφραὶ αἱ πτέρυγες αὐτῶν,

καὶ χεὶρ ἀνθρώπου ὑποκάτωθεν τῶν πτερύγων αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὰ τέσσαρα μέρη αὐτῶν· καὶ τὰ πρόσωπα αὐτῶυ τῶν τεσσάρων

οὺκ ἐπεστρέφοντο ἐν τῷ βαδίζειν αὐτά, ἕκαστον ἀπέναντι τοῦ προσώπου αὐτῶν ἐπορεύοντο.

καὶ ὁμοίωσις τῶν προσώπων αὐτῶν· πρόσωπον ²⁴ ἀνθρώπου καὶ πρόσωπον λέοντος ἐκ δεξιῶυ τοῖς τέσσαρσιν, καὶ πρόσωπον μόσχου ἐξ ἀριστερῶν τοῖς τέσσαρσιν, καὶ πρόσωπον ἀετοῦ τοῖς τέσσαρσιν,

καὶ αἱ πτέρυγες αὐτῶν ἐκτεταμέναι ἄνωθεν τοῖς τέσσαρσιν, ἑκατέρῳ δύο συνεζευγμέναι πρὸς ἀλλήλας, καὶ δύο ἐπεκάλυπτον ἐπάνω τοῦ σώματος αὐτῶν.

καὶ ἑκάτερον κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐπορεύετο· οὗ ἄυ ἦν τὸ πνεῦμα πορευόμενον ἐπορεύοντο, καὶ οὐκ ἐπέστρεφον.

καὶ ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ζήων θρασις ὡς ἀνθράκων πυρὸς καιομέναον, ὡς ὄψις λαμπάδων συστρεφομένων ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ζᾠων καὶ φέγγος τοῦ πυρός, καὶ ἐκ τοῦ πυρὸς ἐξεπορεύετο ἀστραπή.

καὶ ἵδον, καὶ ἰδοὺ τροχὸς εἰς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἐχόμενος τῶν ζήων τοῖς τέσσαρσιν.

καὶ τὸ εἶδος τῶν τροχῶν ὡς εἶδος θαρσείς, καὶ ὁμοίωμα ἕν τοῖς τέσσαρσιν· καὶ τὸ ἔργον αὐτῶν ἦν καθὸς ἂν εἴη τροχὸς ἐν τροχῷ·

ἐπὶ τὰ τέσσερα μέρη αὐτῶν ἐπορεύοντο. οὐκ ἐπέστρεφον ἐν τῷ πορεύεσθαι αὐτά,

οὸδʼ οἱ νώτοι αὐτῶν, καὶ ὕψος ἤν αὐτοῖς· καὶ ἴδον αὐτά, καὶ οἱ νῶτοι αὐτῶν πλήρεις ὀφθαλμῶν κυκλόθεν τοῖς τέσσαρσιν.

καὶ ἐν τῷ πορεύεσθαι τὰ ζῷα, ἐπορεύοντο οἱ τροχοὶ ἐχόμενοι αὐτῶν· καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐξαίρειν τὰ ζῷα ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς, ἐξήροντο οἱ τροχοί.

οὖ ἂν ἦν ἡ νεφέλη, ἐκεῖ τὸ πνεῦμα ποῦ πορεύεσθαι· ἐπορεύοντο οἱ τροχοὶ καὶ ἐξήροντο σὺν αὐτοῖς, διότι πυεῦμα ζωῆς ἐν τοῖς τροχοῖς.

ἐν τῷ πορεύεσθαι αὐτὰ ἐπορεύοντο, καὶ ἐν τῷ ἑστάναι αὐτὰ ἱστήκεισαν, καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐξαίρειν αὐτὰ ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς ἐξήροντο σὺν αὐτοῖς, ὅτι πνεῖμα ζωῆς ἤν ἐν τοῖς τροχοῖς.

καὶ ὁμοίωμα ὑπέρ κεφαλῆς αὐτοῖς τῶν ζήων ὡσεὶ στερέωμα. ὁς δρφσις κρυστάλλου, ἐκτεταμένον ἐπὶ τῶν πτερύγων αὐτῶν ἐπάνωθεν·

καὶ ὑποκάτω τοῦ στερεώματος αί πτέρυγες αὐτῶν ἐκτεταμέναι, πτερυσσόμεναι ⁵⁶ ἑτέρα τῇ ἑτέρᾳ, ἑκάστῳ δύο ἐπικαλύπτουσμι τὰ σώματα ⁷ αὐτῶν.

καὶ ἤκουον τὴν φωνὴν τῶν πτερύγων αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ πορεύεσθαι αὐτὰ ὡς φωνὴν ὕδατος πολλοῦ· καὶ ἐν τῷ ἑστάναι αὐτὰ κατέπαυον αἱ πτέρυγες αὐτῶν.

καὶ ἰδοὺ φωνὴ ὑπεράνωθεν τοῦ στερεώματος τοῦ ὄντος ὑπέρ κεφαλῆς οὕτων·

ὡς ὄρασις λίθου σαπφείρου, ὁμοίωμα θρόνου ἐπʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπὶ τοῦ ὁμοιώματος τοῦ θρόνου ὁμοίωμα ὡς εἶδος ἀνθρώπου ἄνωθεν.

καὶ ἴδον ὡς ὄψιν ἠλέκτρου ἀπὸ ὁράσεως ὀσφύος καὶ ἐπάναω, καὶ ἀπὸ ὁράσεως ὀσφύος καὶ ἕως κάτω ἴδον ὡς ὄρασιν πυρός, καὶ τὸ φέγγος αὐτοῦ κύκλῳ.

ὡς ὅρασις τόξου, ὅτου ᾐ ἐν τῇ νεφέλῃ ἐν ἡμέραις ὑετοῦ, οὕτως ἡ στάσις τοῦ φέγγους κυκλόθεν.

Ezekiel Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 1 focus

Now it happened in the thirtieth year, in the fourth [month], in the fifth [day] of the month, as I was among the captives by the river Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.

In the fifth [day] of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity,

the word of Yahweh came expressly to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of Yahweh was there on him.

I looked, and, behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, a great cloud, with flashing lightning, and a brightness round about it, and out of the midst of it as it were glowing metal, out of the midst of the fire.

Out of the midst of it came the likeness of four living creatures. This was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man.

Everyone had four faces, and everyone of them had four wings.

Their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot; and they sparkled like burnished brass.

They had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings [thus]:

their wings were joined one to another; they didn't turn when they went; they went everyone straight forward.

As for the likeness of their faces, they had the face of a man; and they four had the face of a lion on the right side; and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four had also the face of an eagle.

Their faces and their wings were separate above; two [wings] of everyone were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.

They went everyone straight forward: where the spirit was to go, they went; they didn't turn when they went.

As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches: [the fire] went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.

The living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.

Now as I saw the living creatures, behold, one wheel on the earth beside the living creatures, for each of the four faces of it.

The appearance of the wheels and their work was like a beryl: and they four had one likeness; and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel within a wheel.

When they went, they went in their four directions: they didn't turn when they went.

As for their rims, they were high and dreadful; and they four had their rims full of eyes round about.

When the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.

Wherever the spirit was to go, they went; there was the spirit to go: and the wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.

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 beside them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.

Over the head of the living creature there was the likeness of an expanse, like the awesome crystal to look on, stretched forth over their heads above.

Under the expanse were their wings straight, the one toward the other: everyone had two which covered on this side, and every one had two which covered on that side, their bodies.

When they went, I heard the noise of their wings like the noise of great waters, like the voice of the Almighty, a noise of tumult like the noise of a host: when they stood, they let down their wings.

There was a voice above the expanse that was over their heads: when they stood, they let down their wings.

Above the expanse that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone; and on the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man on it above.

I saw as it were glowing metal, 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 saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness round about him.

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 Yahweh. When I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of one that spoke.
