WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 En el año treinta, el día cinco del cuarto mes, yo estaba junto al río Quebar, entre los que habían sido llevados prisioneros. Entonces se abrieron los cielos y vi visiones de Dios.

1 Now 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, the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.

2 El quinto día del mes, en el quinto año después de que el rey Joaquín fue hecho prisionero,

2 In the fifth of the month, which was the fifth year of King Jehoiachin’s captivity,

3 el Señor me habló a mí, el sacerdote Ezequiel, hijo de Buzi, en la tierra de los caldeos, junto al río Quebar. Allí la mano del Señor estaba sobre mí.

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

4 Miré y vi un viento de tormenta que venía del norte. Una gran nube, rodeada de luz brillante, tenía llamas que se sucedían unas a otras. En su centro había algo del color del electro.

4 I looked, and behold, a stormy wind came out of the north: a great cloud, with flashing lightning, and a brightness around it, and out of the middle of it as it were glowing metal, out of the middle of the fire.

5 En el centro aparecían cuatro seres vivientes. Su aspecto era semejante al de un hombre.

5 Out of its center came the likeness of four living creatures. This was their appearance: They had the likeness of a man.

6 Cada uno tenía cuatro rostros y cuatro alas.

6 Everyone had four faces, and each one of them had four wings.

7 Sus pies eran rectos y sus plantas se parecían a las de los bueyes. Brillaban como bronce pulido.

7 Their feet were straight feet. The sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf’s foot; and they sparkled like burnished bronze.

8 Debajo de sus alas tenían manos humanas. Los cuatro tenían rostros en sus cuatro lados.

8 They had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides. The four of them had their faces and their wings like this:

9 Cada uno avanzaba en línea recta, sin volverse.

9 Their wings were joined to one another. They didn’t turn when they went. Each one went straight forward.

10 Sus rostros tenían esta forma: los cuatro tenían rostro de hombre, rostro de león a la derecha, rostro de buey a la izquierda y rostro de águila.

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

11 Sus alas estaban separadas por arriba. Dos alas de cada ser se unían a las de los otros, y dos cubrían su cuerpo.

11 Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out above. Two wings of each one touched another, and two covered their bodies.

12 Cada uno avanzaba en línea recta. Iban adonde el espíritu quería ir, sin volverse al avanzar.

12 Each one went straight forward. Where the spirit was to go, they went. They didn’t turn when they went.

13 Entre los seres vivientes había algo como brasas encendidas, como llamas que se sucedían unas a otras. El fuego brillaba y de él salían relámpagos.

13 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. The fire was bright, and lightning went out of the fire.

14 Los seres vivientes iban y venían con la rapidez de un relámpago.

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

15 Mientras miraba a los cuatro seres vivientes, vi una rueda en el suelo, junto a ellos, para los cuatro.

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

16 Las ruedas y su estructura parecían de berilo. Las cuatro tenían la misma forma y diseño: parecían una rueda dentro de otra rueda.

16 The appearance of the wheels and their work was like a beryl. The four of them had one likeness. Their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel within a wheel.

17 Las cuatro avanzaban en línea recta, sin girar hacia un lado.

17 When they went, they went in their four directions. They didn’t turn when they went.

18 Vi que tenían bordes. Los bordes de las cuatro ruedas estaban llenos de ojos alrededor.

18 As for their rims, they were high and dreadful; and the four of them had their rims full of eyes all around.

19 Cuando los seres vivientes avanzaban, las ruedas avanzaban a su lado. Cuando los seres vivientes se elevaban del suelo, las ruedas también se elevaban.

19 When the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them. When the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.

20 Iban adonde el espíritu quería ir. Las ruedas se elevaban a su lado, porque el espíritu de los seres vivientes estaba en las ruedas.

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

21 Cuando los seres vivientes avanzaban, las ruedas avanzaban; cuando se detenían, las ruedas se detenían. Cuando se elevaban del suelo, las ruedas se elevaban a su lado, porque el espíritu de los seres vivientes estaba en las ruedas.

21 When those went, these went. When those stood, these stood. 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.

22 Sobre las cabezas de los seres vivientes había algo semejante a una bóveda, con aspecto de hielo, extendida en lo alto sobre ellos.

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

23 Debajo de la bóveda, sus alas se extendían rectas, unas hacia otras. Cada ser tenía dos alas que cubrían su cuerpo de un lado y dos que lo cubrían del otro.

23 Under the expanse, their wings were straight, one toward the other. Each one had two which covered on this side, and each one had two which covered their bodies on that side.

24 Cuando avanzaban, oía el ruido de sus alas. Era como el estruendo de grandes aguas, como la voz del Todopoderoso, como el ruido de un ejército en marcha. Cuando se detenían, bajaban las alas.

24 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 an army. When they stood, they let down their wings.

25 Una voz venía de encima de la bóveda que estaba sobre sus cabezas. Cuando se detenían, bajaban las alas.

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

26 Encima de la bóveda que estaba sobre sus cabezas había algo semejante a un trono, con aspecto de piedra de zafiro. Sobre ese trono, en lo alto, había una figura semejante a un hombre sentado.

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

27 Vi algo del color del electro, con aspecto de fuego por dentro y alrededor, desde lo que parecía ser la cintura hacia arriba. Desde lo que parecía ser la cintura hacia abajo vi algo semejante al fuego. Una luz brillante lo rodeaba.

27 I saw as it were glowing metal, as the appearance of fire within it all around, from the appearance of his waist and upward; and from the appearance of his waist and downward I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness around him.

28 La luz que lo rodeaba era como el arcoíris que aparece en las nubes en un día de lluvia. Así era el aspecto de la gloria del Señor. Cuando la vi, caí rostro en tierra y oí la voz de alguien que hablaba.

28 As the appearance of the rainbow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around. This was the appearance of the likeness of Yahweh’s glory. When I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of one that spoke.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
