1–BOB
Xudoning taxti
1-3 Hayotimning oʻttizinchi yilida , toʻrtinchi oyning beshinchi kunida men, Buzi oʻgʻli ruhoniy Hizqiyol , surgunda yashayotgan odamlar bilan birga Bobildagi Kavor daryosining boʻyida edim. Shunda osmon qopqasi ochildi–da, Xudodan menga vahiylar keldi. Oʻsha kuni Egamiz menga Oʻz soʻzini ayon qildi. Men Egamizning qudratini yaqqol sezib turar edim. Bu voqea shoh Yohayixin surgundaligining beshinchi yilida sodir boʻlgan edi.
4 Qarasam, shimoldan boʻron turdi. Ulkan bir bulutdan chaqmoq chaqar edi, bulut atrofi yarqirab turardi. Bulutning olovli markazi sayqallangan misday tovlanardi. 5 Oʻshaning oʻrtasida men toʻrtta jonli mavjudotni koʻrdim. Ular inson qiyofasida edi. 6 Ammo har birining toʻrtta yuzi va toʻrtta qanoti bor edi. 7 Ularning oyoqlari tekis boʻlib, buzoqning tuyoqlariga oʻxshash tuyoqlari bor edi. Tuyoqlar yaltiroq bronza kabi tovlanib turardi. 8 Qanotlari ostida odam qoʻliga oʻxshagan qoʻllari bor edi. 9 Mavjudotlar bir–biriga orqa oʻgirib turar edilar, qanotlarining uchlari bir–biriga tegib turardi. Ular har tomonga birgalikda yurardilar, yurganlarida burilmas edilar. 10 Mavjudotlarning yuzlariga kelsak, ular toʻrt xil edi: old tomonida inson yuzi, oʻng tomonida sher yuzi, chap tomonida buqa yuzi va orqa tomonida burgut yuzi bor edi. 11 Mavjudotlarning bir juft qanoti tepaga yoyilgan boʻlib, yonidagi mavjudotlarning qanotlariga tegib turardi. Qolgan bir juft qanoti esa tanasini yopib turardi. 12 Mavjudotlar toʻgʻriga qarab yurishar edi. Ruh ularni qayerga yoʻnaltirsa, ular oʻsha yoqqa borishardi, yurganda burilmas edilar. 13 Jonli mavjudotlarning koʻrinishi yonayotgan koʻmirga yoki mashʼalaga oʻxshar edi. Mavjudotlarning orasida olov aylanib yurardi. Bu olov chaqnardi, undan chaqmoq chaqib turar edi. 14 Mavjudotlarning oʻzlari ham chaqmoq tezligi bilan u yerdan–bu yerga borib kelishardi.
15 Men toʻrtta mavjudotni tomosha qilib turganimda, mavjudotlar yonidagi gʻildiraklarni koʻrdim. Har bir mavjudotning yonida bittadan gʻildirak bor edi. Gʻildiraklar yerga tegib turardi. 16 Toʻrtala gʻildirakning koʻrinishi va tuzilishi bir xil edi. Ular qimmatbaho toshday tovlanardi. Har bir gʻildirakning ichida koʻndalangiga solingan yana bittadan gʻildirak bor edi. 17 Shu sababdan gʻildiraklar harakatga kelganda, toʻrt tomonga yura olar edi, yurganda burilmasdi. 18 Gʻildiraklarning gardishlari baland va bahaybat edi. Ularning gir aylanasi koʻzlar bilan qoplangan edi. 19 Jonli mavjudotlar yurganda, yonlaridagi gʻildiraklar ham harakatga kelardi. Yerdan koʻtarilganda, gʻildiraklar ham ular bilan birga koʻtarilardi. 20-21 Mavjudotlardagi ruh gʻildiraklarda ham bor edi. Shu sababdan ruh mavjudotlarni qayerga yoʻnaltirsa, mavjudotlar oʻsha yoqqa borishardi, gʻildiraklar ham ular bilan birga harakatga kelardi. Mavjudotlar yurganda, ular ham yurar edi, toʻxtaganda toʻxtar edi, yerdan koʻtarilganda koʻtarilar edi.
22 Mavjudotlarning boshlari uzra gumbazga oʻxshash bir narsa bor edi, oʻsha narsa billurdek tovlanardi. 23 Qanotlarini yoygan mavjudotlar gumbaz ostida turar edi. Ularning qanotlari bir–biriga tegib turardi. Ikkinchi juft qanotlari esa badanlarini yopib turardi. 24 Ular qanot qoqib uchardilar. Qanot qoqqanlarida chiqqan tovushi shovullagan dengiz shovqiniday, Qodir Xudoning gumburlagan ovoziday, ulkan lashkarning shovqin–suroniday edi. Mavjudotlar toʻxtaganlarida qanotlarini yigʻib olishardi.
25 Ular toʻxtab, qanotlarini yigʻib oldilar. Shunda boshlari tepasidagi gumbaz uzra bir ovoz yangradi. 26 Gumbaz ustida zangori yoqutdan yasalgan taxtga oʻxshash bir narsa bor edi. Taxt ustida inson qiyofasidagi bir Zot oʻtirardi. 27 Oʻsha kimsaning belidan yuqori qismi sayqallangan misday yarqirardi, atrofini olov oʻragandi. Belidan pastki qismi esa otash kabi porlardi. Uning butun borligʻi nur taratib turardi. 28 Oʻsha nur yomgʻirdan keyin bulutlar orasida paydo boʻladigan kamalakdek jilvalanardi. Bu yogʻdu Egamizning ulugʻvorligini aks ettirardi.
Xudo Hizqiyolni xizmatga chaqiradi
Men buni koʻrishim bilanoq yerga muk tushdim, soʻng bir ovoz eshitdim.
1 Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month , in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God. 2 In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin’s captivity, 3 The word of the LORD came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the LORD was there upon him.
4 ¶ And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire. 5 Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man. 6 And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings. 7 And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf’s foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass. 8 And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings. 9 Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward. 10 As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle. 11 Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies. 12 And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; and they turned not when they went. 13 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning. 14 And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.
15 ¶ Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces. 16 The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel. 17 When they went, they went upon their four sides: and they turned not when they went. 18 As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round about them four. 19 And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up. 20 Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels. 21 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 over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels. 22 And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as the colour of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above. 23 And under the firmament were their wings straight, the one toward the other: every one had two, which covered on this side, and every one had two, which covered on that side, their bodies. 24 And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of an host: when they stood, they let down their wings. 25 And there was a voice from the firmament that was over their heads, when they stood, and had let down their wings.
26 ¶ And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it. 27 And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about. 28 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 the LORD. And when I saw it , I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.
