Ezekiel 10
1 Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubim there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
Lalu aku melihat, sungguh, di atas cakrawala yang di atas kepala kerub tampak di atas mereka sesuatu yang menyerupai takhta, yang seperti permata lazurit kelihatannya.
2 And he spoke to the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, even under the cherub, and fill your hand with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight.
Maka Ia berkata kepada orang yang berpakaian lenan itu: "Masuklah ke bawah kerub dari antara roda-rodanya dan penuhilah rangkup tanganmu dengan bara api dari tengah-tengah kerub itu dan hamburkan ke atas kota itu." Lalu aku melihat dia masuk.
3 Now the cherubim stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.
Kerub-kerub itu berdiri di sebelah selatan Bait Suci, waktu orang itu masuk ke tengah-tengah roda-rodanya; dan segumpal awan memenuhi pelataran dalam.
4 Then the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the LORD’s glory.
Dalam pada itu kemuliaan TUHAN naik dari atas kerub dan pergi ke atas ambang pintu Bait Suci, dan Bait Suci ini dipenuhi oleh awan itu dan pelatarannya penuh dengan sinar kemuliaan TUHAN.
5 And the sound of the cherubims’ wings was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaks.
Suara sayap kerub itu terdengar sampai pelataran luar seperti suara ALLAH Yang Mahakuasa, kalau Ia berfirman.
6 And it came to pass, that when he had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubim; then he went in, and stood beside the wheels.
Ia memerintahkan kepada orang yang berpakaian lenan itu: "Ambillah api dari tengah-tengah roda-rodanya, dari tengah-tengah kerub itu!" Maka yang berpakaian lenan ini pergi berdiri di samping salah satu dari roda-roda itu.
7 And one cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubim to the fire that was between the cherubim, and took thereof, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linen: who took it, and went out.
Lalu seorang kerub itu mengulurkan tangannya dari tengah kerub-kerub ke api yang ada di tengah-tengah mereka, diambilnya sedikit dan ditaruhnya di dalam tangan orang yang berpakaian lenan. Orang ini menerimanya dan pergi.
8 And there appeared in the cherubim the form of a man’s hand under their wings.
Pada kerub-kerub itu tampak yang menyerupai tangan manusia di bawah sayap mereka.
9 And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubim, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was as the color of a beryl stone.
Aku melihat, sungguh, di samping kerub-kerub itu terdapat empat roda, satu roda di samping seorang kerub, dan roda-roda ini kelihatannya seperti kilauan permata pirus.
10 And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the middle of a wheel.
Kelihatannya keempatnya adalah serupa, seolah-olah roda yang satu di tengah-tengah yang lain.
11 When they went, they went on their four sides; they turned not as they went, but to the place where the head looked they followed it; they turned not as they went.
Kalau mereka berjalan mereka dapat menuju keempat jurusan tanpa berbalik kalau berjalan; karena tempat mana yang dituju oleh yang di muka, ke situlah pergi yang lain-lain, tanpa berbalik kalau berjalan.
12 And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about, even the wheels that they four had.
Seluruh badan mereka, punggungnya, tangannya, sayapnya, dan roda-rodanya penuh dengan mata sekelilingnya, ya, roda-roda mereka berempat juga.
13 As for the wheels, it was cried to them in my hearing, O wheel.
Aku dengar bahwa roda-rodanya disebut "puting beliung".
14 And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
Masing-masing mempunyai empat muka: muka yang pertama ialah muka kerub, yang kedua ialah muka manusia, yang ketiga ialah muka singa dan yang keempat ialah muka rajawali.
15 And the cherubim were lifted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar.
Kerub-kerub itu naik ke atas. Itulah makhluk-makhluk hidup yang dahulu kulihat di tepi sungai Kebar.
16 And when the cherubim went, the wheels went by them: and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also turned not from beside them.
Kalau kerub-kerub itu berjalan, roda-roda itu juga berjalan di samping mereka; kalau kerub-kerub itu mengangkat sayapnya untuk terbang dari tanah, roda-roda itu tidak bergerak dari samping mereka.
17 When they stood, these stood; and when they were lifted up, these lifted up themselves also: for the spirit of the living creature was in them.
Kalau kerub-kerub itu berhenti, roda-roda itu berhenti, kalau kerub-kerub itu naik ke atas, roda-roda itu sama-sama naik dengan mereka; sebab roh makhluk-makhluk hidup itu ialah di dalam roda-roda itu.
18 Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim.
Lalu kemuliaan TUHAN pergi dari ambang pintu Bait Suci dan hinggap di atas kerub-kerub.
19 And the cherubim lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also were beside them, and every one stood at the door of the east gate of the LORD’s house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
Dan kerub-kerub itu mengangkat sayap mereka, dan waktu mereka pergi, aku lihat, mereka naik dari tanah dan roda-rodanya bersama-sama dengan mereka. Lalu mereka berhenti dekat pintu gerbang rumah TUHAN yang di sebelah timur, sedang kemuliaan Allah Israel berada di atas mereka.
20 This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they were the cherubim.
Itulah makhluk-makhluk hidup yang dahulu kulihat di bawah Allah Israel di tepi sungai Kebar. Dan aku mengerti, bahwa mereka adalah kerub-kerub.
21 Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.
Masing-masing mempunyai empat muka dan bagi masing-masing ada empat sayap dan di bawah sayap mereka ada yang berbentuk tangan manusia.
22 And the likeness of their faces was the same faces which I saw by the river of Chebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one straight forward.
Kelihatannya muka mereka adalah serupa dengan muka yang kulihat di tepi sungai Kebar. Masing-masing berjalan lurus ke mukanya.
