에스겔의 첫번째 환상

[a]내가 서른 살 되던 해 4월 5일에 바빌로니아의 그발 강가에서 포로들과 함께 있 을 때 갑자기 하늘이 열려 나는 하나님이 보여 주시는 환상을 보게 되었다.

이것은 여호야긴왕이 포로로 잡혀간 지 5년째가 되던 해였다.

그 곳 그발 강가에서 부시의 아들인 제사장 나 에스겔에게 여호와께서 특별히 말씀을 주셨는데 그때 [b]나는 여호와의 손길이 내 위에 있는 것을 느꼈다.

나는 환상 중에 북쪽에서 폭풍을 몰고 오는 큰 구름을 보았다. 그 속에서 불이 번쩍번쩍하고 주위에는 찬란한 빛이 비치고 있었으며 그 불 가운데는 벌겋게 달아오른 쇠 같은 것이 보였다.

그리고 그 속에 네 생물 같은 형체가 나타나 있었다. 그 모양은 사람 같으면서도

각각 네 얼굴과 네 날개를 갖고 있었고

다리는 곧고 발은 송아지 발처럼 굽이 갈라졌으며 다리 전체가 반질반질 잘 닦은 구리처럼 빛나고 있었다.

또 그 생물들은 각각 네 개의 얼굴과 네 개의 날개 외에도 네 개의 손을 가지고 있었는데 그 손은 사면의 날개 아래에 하나씩 달려 있었다.

그리고 그들의 네 날개는 다 하나로 연결되어 있었으며 그들이 움직일 때는 돌지 않고 곧장 앞으로 나아갔다.

10 각 생물들은 모양이 다른 네 개의 얼굴을 가지고 있었으며 모두 앞은 사람의 얼굴이었고 우측은 사자의 얼굴, 좌측은 소의 얼굴, 뒤는 독수리의 얼굴이었다.

11 그리고 그 생물의 두 날개는 위로 펴져서 그 끝이 서로 연결되어 있었고 나머지 두 날개는 몸을 가리고 있었다.

12 각 생물들은 [c]사방으로 향하고 있어서 전체가 움직일 때는 돌지 않고 가고 싶은 대로 곧장 갔다.

13 그리고 그 생물들 사이에는 타오르는 숯불 같기도 하고 횃불 같기도 한 것이 이리저리 계속 움직이고 있었는데 그 불은 아주 밝고 그 속에서는 번개가 치며

14 그 생물들은 번개처럼 이리저리 빠르게 움직이고 있었다.

15 내가 그 생물들을 보니 생물들 곁에 네 개의 바퀴가 지면에 닿아 있었는데 그것은 각 생물 곁에 하나씩 있었다.

16 그 바퀴들은 보석처럼 빛나고 있었고 그 모양과 구조는 다 똑같았으며 바퀴 안에 바퀴가 들어 있는 것 같았다.

17 그것이 움직일 때에는 아무 방향이라도 원하는 대로 돌지 않고 곧장 갔으며

18 바퀴 둘레는 높고 무섭게 생겼고 돌아가면서 눈이 가득하였다.

19 그 생물들이 움직일 때 곁에 있는 바퀴도 움직이고 그 생물들이 땅에서 들릴 때 바퀴도 따라서 들렸다.

20 그 생물들은 어디든지 자기들이 원하는 곳으로 갔으며 그 생물들이 움직일 때에는 바퀴도 따라서 들렸다. [d]이것은 생물들이 그 바퀴를 조종하기 때문이었다.

21 그래서 그 생물들이 움직이거나 멈추거나 들릴 때마다 바퀴도 꼭 그대로 되었다.

22 그 생물들의 머리 위에는 수정처럼 반짝거리는 둥근 반구 같은 것이 펼쳐져 있었으며 그것은 아주 무섭게 보였다.

23 그 반구 아래에는 생물들이 두 날개를 서로를 향해 펴고 다른 두 날개로 그들의 몸을 가리고 있었다.

24 그 생물들이 움직일 때 내가 날개에서 나는 소리를 들으니 [e]폭포 소리와도 같고 전능하신 분의 음성과도 같으며 큰 군대의 함성과도 같았다. 그 생물들이 설 때에는 날개를 아래로 내렸다.

25 그러나 생물들이 멈출 때마다 그 생물들의 머리 위에 있는 반구 모양의 형체 위에서 계속 소리가 났다.

26 그 반구 위에는 청옥으로 만든 보좌 같은 것이 있고 보좌 위에는 사람 같은 형체가 있었으며

27 허리 상반신은 벌겋게 달아오른 쇠 같아서 전체가 불덩어리처럼 보였고 허리 하반신도 불 같아서 사방으로 찬란한 광채가 나고 있었다.

28 그리고 그 주위에는 비 오는 날 구름 속의 무지개처럼 빛나는 광채가 있었는데 이것은 여호와께서 나타나신 것을 보여 주는 영광의 광채였다. 나는 그것을 보고 엎드려 나에게 말씀하시는 분의 음성을 듣게 되었다.

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.

  1. Ezekiel 1:3 Or Chaldeans
  2. Ezekiel 1:24 Hebrew Shaddai

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings.

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.

And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings.

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.
