< Ezekiel 10 >

1 Then looking, I saw that on the arch which was over the head of the winged ones there was seen over them what seemed like a sapphire stone, having the form of a king's seat.
Pea naʻaku mamata, pea vakai, naʻe hā mai ʻae meʻa hangē ko e maka ko e safaia mei he fakamalumalu naʻe ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he ʻulu ʻoe selupimi, pea naʻe hā mai ia hangē ko ha nofoʻa fakatuʻi.
2 And he said to the man clothed in linen, Go in between the wheels, under the winged ones, and get your two hands full of burning coals from between the winged ones and send them in a shower over the town. And he went in before my eyes.
Pea naʻe folofola ia ki he tangata naʻe kofuʻaki ʻae tupenu lelei, ʻo ne pehē, “Hū atu ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ngaahi teka, ʻi he lalo selupi, pea fakapito ʻaki ho nima ʻae malalaʻi afi mei he vahaʻa ʻoe selupimi pea fakamokulu ia ki he kolo.” Pea naʻa ne hū atu ia ʻi hoku ʻao.
3 Now the winged ones were stationed on the right side of the house when the man went in; and the inner square was full of the cloud.
Pea ko eni, naʻe hū atu ʻae tangata ʻoku tuʻu ʻae selupimi ʻi he potu toʻomataʻu ʻoe fale; pea naʻe fakafonu ʻaki ʻae ʻao ʻae lotoʻā ki loto.
4 And the glory of the Lord went up from the winged ones and came to rest over the doorstep of the house; and the house was full of the cloud and the open square was full of the shining of the Lord's glory.
Pea naʻe toki hiki hake ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova mei he selupi, pea tuʻu mei he matapā ʻoe fale: pea naʻe pito ʻae fale ʻi he ʻao, pea pito mo e lotoʻā ʻi he malama ʻoe nāunau ʻo Sihova.
5 And the sound of the wings of the winged ones was clear even in the outer square, like the voice of the Ruler of all.
Pea naʻe ongo atu ʻo aʻu ki he lotoʻā kituʻa ʻae patū ʻoe kapakau ʻoe selupimi ʻo hangē ko e leʻo ʻoe ʻOtua Māfimafi ʻoka folofola ia.
6 And when he gave orders to the man clothed in linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the winged ones, then he went in and took his place at the side of a wheel.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene fekau ki he tangata naʻe kofuʻaki ʻae tupenu lelei, ʻo pehē, Toʻo ʻae afi mei he vahaʻa ʻoe ngaahi teka mei he vahaʻa ʻoe selupimi; pea toki hū atu ia ʻo ne tuʻu ofi ki he ngaahi teka.
7 And stretching out his hand to the fire which was between the winged ones, he took some of it and went out.
Pea mafao atu ʻe he selupi ʻe taha ʻa hono nima mei he vahaʻa ʻoe selupimi ki he afi naʻe ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe selupimi, ʻo ne toʻo mei ai ʻo ne tuku ki he nima ʻo ia naʻe kofuʻaki ʻae tupenu lelei pea ne ʻave ia ʻe ia, ʻo ne ʻalu atu.
8 And I saw the form of a man's hands among the winged ones under their wings.
Pea naʻe hā mai ʻi he selupimi hangē ko e nima ʻoe tangata ʻi honau lalo kapakau:
9 And looking, I saw four wheels by the side of the winged ones, one wheel by the side of a winged one and another wheel by the side of another: and the wheels were like the colour of a beryl stone to the eye.
Pea ʻi heʻeku mamata, vakai naʻe ʻi he selupimi ʻae teka ʻe fā, ko e teka ʻe taha ʻi he selupi ʻe taha, pea ko e teka ʻe taha ʻi he selupi ʻe taha: pea ko e hā mai ʻae ngaahi teka naʻe hangē ko e lanu ʻoe maka ko e pelili.
10 In form the four of them were all the same, they seemed like a wheel inside a wheel.
Pea ko e anga ʻo ʻenau hā mai, naʻe mata tatau ʻae toko fā ko ia, ʻo hangē naʻe ʻai ki he loto teka ʻe taha ha teka ʻe taha.
11 When they were moving, they went on their four sides without turning; they went after the head in the direction in which it was looking; they went without turning.
‌ʻI heʻenau ʻalu, naʻa nau ʻalu ʻi honau tafaʻaki ʻe fā; naʻe ʻikai te nau tafoki ʻi heʻenau ʻalu, ka ko e potu ko ia naʻe hanga ki ai honau mata naʻa nau muimui ai; naʻe ʻikai te nau tafoki ʻi heʻenau ʻalu.
12 And the edges of the four wheels were full of eyes round about.
Pea ko honau sino kotoa mo honau tuʻa, mo honau nima, mo honau kapakau, pea mo e ngaahi teka, naʻe fonu takatakai ʻi he mata, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi teka naʻe ʻi he toko fā ni.
13 As for the wheels, they were named in my hearing, the circling wheels.
Pea naʻe ui ki he ngaahi teka, ka ʻoku ou fanongo, “Ke ngaue atu.”
14 And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a winged one, and the second was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
Pea naʻe taki taha maʻu ʻae mata ʻe fā: ko e ʻuluaki mata ko e mata ia ʻoe selupi, pea ko hono ua ʻoe mata, ko e mata ia ʻoe tangata, pea ko hono tolu ko e mata ʻoe laione, pea ko hono fā ko e mata ʻoe ʻikale.
15 And the winged ones went up on high: this is the living being which I saw by the river Chebar.
Pea naʻe hiki ki ʻolunga ʻae selupimi, Ko eni ia ʻae meʻa moʻui ko ia naʻaku mamata ai ʻi he veʻe vaitafe ʻo Kipa.
16 And when the winged ones went, the wheels went by their side: and when their wings were lifted to take them up from the earth, the wheels were not turned from their side.
Pea ka ʻalu ʻae selupimi, naʻe ngaue fakataha mo e ngaahi teka: pea ʻi he fakamafola ʻe he selupimi honau kapakau ke puna hake mei he fonua, naʻe ʻikai foki atu meiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi teka ko ia.
17 When they were at rest in their place, these were at rest; when they were lifted up, these went up with them: for the spirit of life was in them.
Ka nau ka tuʻumaʻu, ne tuʻumaʻu ia; pea ka hiki ki ʻolunga ʻakinautolu, naʻe hiki hake foki ia ʻe ia: he naʻe ʻi ai ʻae laumālie ʻoe meʻa moʻui.
18 Then the glory of the Lord went out from the doorstep of the house, and came to rest over the winged ones.
Pea naʻe toki mahuʻi atu ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova mei he matapā ʻoe fale ʻo tuʻu mei ʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi selupimi.
19 And the winged ones, lifting up their wings, went up from the earth before my eyes, with the wheels by their side: and they came to rest at the east doorway of the Lord's house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them on high.
Pea naʻe mafola hake ʻe he selupimi honau kapakau, ʻonau puna hake mei he kelekele ʻi hoku ʻao: pea ʻi heʻenau ʻalu atu naʻe ʻi ai pe foki ʻae ngaahi teka, pea naʻe tutuʻu kotoa pē ʻi he matapā fakahahake ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova; pea naʻe ʻi ʻolunga ʻiate kinautolu ʻae nāunau ʻoe ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.
20 This is the living being which I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and it was clear to me that they were the winged ones.
Ko eni ia ʻae meʻa moʻui ko ia naʻaku mamata ʻoku ʻafio mei ai ʻae ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he veʻe vaitafe ʻo Kipa; pea naʻaku ʻilo ko e selupimi pe ʻakinautolu.
21 Every one had four faces and every one had four wings; and hands like a man's hands were under their wings.
Naʻe taki taha maʻu ʻae mata ʻe fā, pea taki taha ʻae kapakau ʻe fā; pea hangē ko e nima ʻoe tangata ʻi honau lalo kapakau.
22 As for the form of their faces, they were the faces whose form I saw by the river Chebar; when they went, every one of them went straight forward.
Pea ko e hā mai ʻa honau mata ko e mata pe ia naʻaku mamata ai ʻi he veʻe vaitafe ʻo Kipa, ʻae anga ʻo ʻenau hā mai mo kinautolu foki: naʻe ʻalu fakahangatonu atu ʻakinautolu taki taha.
