KJV 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.

NEG ¹ La trentième année, le cinquième jour du quatrième mois, comme j'étais parmi les captifs du fleuve du Kebar, les cieux s'ouvrirent, et j'eus des visions divines.

VULC ¹ Et factum est in trigesimo anno, in quarto, in quinta mensis, cum essem in medio captivorum juxta fluvium Chobar, aperti sunt cæli, et vidi visiones Dei.

KJV ² In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity,

NEG ² Le cinquième jour du mois - c'était la cinquième année de la captivité du roi Jojakin -

VULC ² In quinta mensis, ipse est annus quintus transmigrationis regis Joachin,

KJV 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.

NEG ³ la parole de l'Eternel fut adressée à Ezéchiel, fils de Buzi, le sacrificateur, dans le pays des Chaldéens, près du fleuve du Kebar; et c'est là que la main de l'Eternel fut sur lui.

VULC ³ factum est verbum Domini ad Ezechielem filium Buzi sacerdotem, in terra Chaldæorum, secus flumen Chobar : et facta est super eum ibi manus Domini.

KJV 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.

NEG ⁴ Je regardai, et voici, il vint du septentrion un vent impétueux, une grosse nuée, et une gerbe de feu, qui répandait de tous côtés une lumière éclatante, au centre de laquelle brillait comme de l'airain poli, sortant du milieu du feu.

VULC ⁴ Et vidi, et ecce ventus turbinis veniebat ab aquilone, et nubes magna, et ignis involvens, et splendor in circuitu ejus : et de medio ejus, quasi species electri, id est, de medio ignis :

KJV 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.

NEG ⁵ Au centre encore, apparaissaient quatre animaux, dont l'aspect avait une ressemblance humaine.

VULC ⁵ et in medio ejus similitudo quatuor animalium. Et hic aspectus eorum, similitudo hominis in eis.

KJV ⁶ And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings.

NEG ⁶ Chacun d'eux avait quatre faces, et chacun avait quatre ailes.

VULC ⁶ Quatuor facies uni, et quatuor pennæ uni.

KJV 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.

NEG ⁷ Leurs pieds étaient droits, et la plante de leurs pieds était comme celle du pied d'un veau; ils étincelaient comme de l'airain poli.

VULC ⁷ Pedes eorum, pedes recti, et planta pedis eorum quasi planta pedis vituli : et scintillæ quasi aspectus æris candentis.

KJV 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.

NEG ⁸ Ils avaient des mains d'homme sous les ailes à leurs quatre côtés; et tous les quatre avaient leurs faces et leurs ailes.

VULC ⁸ Et manus hominis sub pennis eorum, in quatuor partibus : et facies et pennas per quatuor partes habebant.

KJV ⁹ Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward.

NEG ⁹ Leurs ailes étaient jointes l'une à l'autre; ils ne se tournaient point en marchant, mais chacun marchait droit devant soi.

VULC ⁹ Junctæque erant pennæ eorum alterius ad alterum : non revertebantur cum incederent, sed unumquodque ante faciem suam gradiebatur.

KJV 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.

NEG ¹⁰ Quant à la figure de leurs faces, ils avaient tous une face d'homme, tous les quatre une face de lion à droite, tous les quatre une face de bœuf à gauche, et tous les quatre une face d'aigle.

VULC ¹⁰ Similitudo autem vultus eorum, facies hominis et facies leonis a dextris ipsorum quatuor, facies autem bovis a sinistris ipsorum quatuor, et facies aquilæ desuper ipsorum quatuor.

KJV 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.

NEG ¹¹ Leurs faces et leurs ailes étaient séparées par le haut; deux de leurs ailes étaient jointes l'une à l'autre, et deux couvraient leurs corps.

VULC ¹¹ Facies eorum et pennæ eorum extentæ desuper : duæ pennæ singulorum jungebantur, et duæ tegebant corpora eorum.

KJV ¹² And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; and they turned not when they went.

NEG ¹² Chacun marchait droit devant soi; ils allaient où l'Esprit les poussait à aller, et ils ne se tournaient point dans leur marche.

VULC ¹² Et unumquodque eorum coram facie sua ambulabat : ubi erat impetus spiritus, illuc gradiebantur, nec revertebantur cum ambularent.

KJV 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.

NEG ¹³ L'aspect de ces animaux ressemblait à des charbons de feu ardents, c'était comme l'aspect des flambeaux, et ce feu circulait entre les animaux; il jetait une lumière éclatante, et il en sortait des éclairs.

VULC ¹³ Et similitudo animalium, aspectus eorum quasi carbonum ignis ardentium, et quasi aspectus lampadarum : hæc erat visio discurrens in medio animalium, splendor ignis, et de igne fulgur egrediens.

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

NEG ¹⁴ Et les animaux couraient et revenaient comme la foudre.

VULC ¹⁴ Et animalia ibant et revertebantur, in similitudinem fulguris coruscantis.

KJV ¹⁵ Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces.

NEG ¹⁵ Je regardais ces animaux; et voici, il y avait une roue sur la terre, près des animaux, devant leurs quatre faces.

VULC ¹⁵ Cumque aspicerem animalia, apparuit rota una super terram juxta animalia, habens quatuor facies.

KJV 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.

NEG ¹⁶ A leur aspect et à leur structure, ces roues semblaient être en chrysolithe, et toutes les quatre avaient la même forme; leur aspect et leur structure étaient tels que chaque roue paraissait être au milieu d'une autre roue.

VULC ¹⁶ Et aspectus rotarum et opus earum quasi visio maris : et una similitudo ipsarum quatuor : et aspectus earum et opera quasi sit rota in medio rotæ.

KJV ¹⁷ When they went, they went upon their four sides: and they turned not when they went.

NEG ¹⁷ En cheminant, elles allaient de leurs quatre côtés, et elles ne se tournaient point dans leur marche.

VULC ¹⁷ Per quatuor partes earum euntes ibant, et non revertebantur cum ambularent.

KJV ¹⁸ As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round about them four.

NEG ¹⁸ Elles avaient une circonférence et une hauteur effrayantes, et à leur circonférence les quatre roues étaient remplies d'yeux tout autour.

VULC ¹⁸ Statura quoque erat rotis, et altitudo, et horribilis aspectus : et totum corpus oculis plenum in circuitu ipsarum quatuor.

KJV 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.

NEG ¹⁹ Quand les animaux marchaient, les roues cheminaient à côté d'eux; et quand les animaux s'élevaient de terre, les roues s'élevaient aussi.

VULC ¹⁹ Cumque ambularent animalia, ambulabant pariter et rotæ juxta ea : et cum elevarentur animalia de terra, elevabantur simul et rotæ.

KJV 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.

NEG ²⁰ Ils allaient où l'Esprit les poussait à aller; et les roues s'élevaient avec eux, car l'esprit des animaux était dans les roues.

VULC ²⁰ Quocumque ibat spiritus, illuc, eunte spiritu, et rotæ pariter elevabantur sequentes eum : spiritus enim vitæ erat in rotis.

KJV 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.

NEG ²¹ Quand ils marchaient, elles marchaient; quand ils s'arrêtaient, elles s'arrêtaient; quand ils s'élevaient de terre, les roues s'élevaient avec eux, car l'esprit des animaux était dans les roues.

VULC ²¹ Cum euntibus ibant, et cum stantibus stabant : et cum elevatis a terra, pariter elevabantur et rotæ sequentes ea, quia spiritus vitæ erat in rotis.

KJV 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.

NEG ²² Au-dessus des têtes des animaux, il y avait comme un ciel de cristal resplendissant, qui s'étendait sur leurs têtes dans le haut.

VULC ²² Et similitudo super capita animalium firmamenti, quasi aspectus crystalli horribilis, et extenti super capita eorum desuper.

KJV 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.

NEG ²³ Sous ce ciel, leurs ailes étaient droites l'une contre l'autre, et ils en avaient chacun deux qui les couvraient, chacun deux qui couvraient leurs corps.

VULC ²³ Sub firmamento autem pennæ eorum rectæ alterius ad alterum : unumquodque duabus alis velabat corpus suum, et alterum similiter velabatur.

KJV 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.

NEG ²⁴ J'entendis le bruit de leurs ailes, quand ils marchaient, pareil au bruit de grosses eaux, ou à la voix du Tout-Puissant; c'était un bruit tumultueux, comme celui d'une armée; quand ils s'arrêtaient, ils laissaient tomber leurs ailes.

VULC ²⁴ Et audiebam sonum alarum, quasi sonum aquarum multarum, quasi sonum sublimis Dei : cum ambularent, quasi sonus erat multitudinis ut sonus castrorum : cumque starent, demittebantur pennæ eorum.

KJV ²⁵ And there was a voice from the firmament that was over their heads, when they stood, and had let down their wings.

NEG ²⁵ Et il se faisait un bruit qui partait du ciel étendu sur leurs têtes, lorsqu'ils s'arrêtaient et laissaient tomber leurs ailes.

VULC ²⁵ Nam cum fieret vox super firmamentum quod erat super caput eorum, stabant, et submittebant alas suas.

KJV 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.

NEG ²⁶ Au-dessus du ciel qui était sur leurs têtes, il y avait quelque chose de semblable à une pierre de saphir, en forme de trône; et sur cette forme de trône apparaissait comme une figure d'homme placé dessus en haut.

VULC ²⁶ Et super firmamentum quod erat imminens capiti eorum, quasi aspectus lapidis sapphiri similitudo throni : et super similitudinem throni similitudo quasi aspectus hominis desuper.

KJV 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.

NEG ²⁷ Je vis encore comme de l'airain poli, comme du feu, au-dedans duquel était cet homme, et qui rayonnait tout autour; depuis la forme de ses reins jusqu'en haut, et depuis la forme de ses reins jusqu'en bas, je vis comme du feu, et comme une lumière éclatante, dont il était environné.

VULC ²⁷ Et vidi quasi speciem electri, velut aspectum ignis, intrinsecus ejus per circuitum : a lumbis ejus et desuper, et a lumbis ejus usque deorsum, vidi quasi speciem ignis splendentis in circuitu,

KJV 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.

NEG ²⁸ Tel l'aspect de l'arc qui est dans la nue en un jour de pluie, ainsi était l'aspect de cette lumière éclatante, qui l'entourait: c'était une image de la gloire de l'Eternel. A cette vue, je tombai sur ma face, et j'entendis la voix de quelqu'un qui parlait.

VULC ²⁸ velut aspectum arcus cum fuerit in nube in die pluviæ. Hic erat aspectus splendoris per gyrum.
