Ezekiel 10

1 Then I looked, and see, in the expanse that was over the head of the cherubim there appeared above them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.

١ ثُمَّ نَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا عَلَى ٱلْمُقَبَّبِ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى رَأْسِ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمِ شَيْءٌ كَحَجَرِ ٱلْعَقِيقِ ٱلْأَزْرَقِ، كَمَنْظَرِ شِبْهِ عَرْشٍ.

2 He spoke to the man clothed in linen, and said, “Go in between the whirling wheels, even under the cherub, and fill both your hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city.” He went in as I watched.

٢ وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّجُلَ ٱللَّابِسَ ٱلْكَتَّانِ وَقَالَ: «ٱدْخُلْ بَيْنَ ٱلْبَكَرَاتِ تَحْتَ ٱلْكَرُوبِ وَٱمْلَأْ حَفْنَتَيْكَ جَمْرَ نَارٍ مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمِ، وَذَرِّهَا عَلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ». فَدَخَلَ قُدَّامَ عَيْنَيَّ.

3 Now the cherubim stood on the right side of the house when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.

٣ وَٱلْكَرُوبِيمُ وَاقِفُونَ عَنْ يَمِينِ ٱلْبَيْتِ حِينَ دَخَلَ ٱلرَّجُلُ، وَٱلسَّحَابَةُ مَلَأَتِ ٱلدَّارَ ٱلدَّاخِلِيَّةَ.

4 Yahweh’s glory mounted 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 Yahweh’s glory.

٤ فَٱرْتَفَعَ مَجْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَنِ ٱلْكَرُوبِ إِلَى عَتَبَةِ ٱلْبَيْتِ. فَٱمْتَلَأَ ٱلْبَيْتُ مِنَ ٱلسَّحَابَةِ، وَٱمْتَلَأَتِ ٱلدَّارُ مِنْ لَمَعَانِ مَجْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

5 The sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.

٥ وَسُمِعَ صَوْتُ أَجْنِحَةِ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمِ إِلَى ٱلدَّارِ ٱلْخَارِجِيَّةِ كَصَوْتِ ٱللهِ ٱلْقَدِيرِ إِذَا تَكَلَّمَ.

6 It came to pass, when he commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, “Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim,” that he went in and stood beside a wheel.

٦ وَكَانَ لَمَّا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّجُلَ ٱللَّابِسَ ٱلْكَتَّانِ قَائِلًا: «خُذْ نَارًا مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلْبَكَرَاتِ، مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمِ» أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ وَوَقَفَ بِجَانِبِ ٱلْبَكَرَةِ.

7 The cherub stretched out his hand from between the cherubim to the fire that was between the cherubim, and took some of it, and put it into the hands of him who was clothed in linen, who took it and went out.

٧ وَمَدَّ كَرُوبٌ يَدَهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمِ إِلَى ٱلنَّارِ ٱلَّتِي بَيْنَ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمِ، فَرَفَعَ مِنْهَا وَوَضَعَهَا فِي حَفْنَتَيِ ٱللَّابِسِ ٱلْكَتَّانِ، فَأَخَذَهَا وَخَرَجَ.

8 The form of a man’s hand appeared here in the cherubim under their wings.

٨ فَظَهَرَ فِي ٱلْكَرُوبِيمِ شِبْهُ يَدِ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْ تَحْتِ أَجْنِحَتِهَا.

9 I looked, and behold, there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside one cherub, and another wheel beside another cherub. The appearance of the wheels was like a beryl stone.

٩ وَنَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا أَرْبَعُ بَكَرَاتٍ بِجَانِبِ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمِ. بَكَرَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ بِجَانِبِ ٱلْكَرُوبِ ٱلْوَاحِدِ، وَبَكَرَةٌ أُخْرَى بِجَانِبِ ٱلْكَرُوبِ ٱلْآخَرِ. وَمَنْظَرُ ٱلْبَكَرَاتِ كَشِبْهِ حَجَرِ ٱلزَّبَرْجَدِ.

10 As for their appearance, the four of them had one likeness, like a wheel within a wheel.

١٠ وَمَنْظَرُهُنَّ شَكْلٌ وَاحِدٌ لِلْأَرْبَعِ. كَأَنَّهُ كَانَ بَكْرَةٌ وَسْطِ بَكْرَةٍ.

11 When they went, they went in their four directions. They didn’t turn as they went, but to the place where the head looked they followed it. They didn’t turn as they went.

١١ لَمَّا سَارَتْ، سَارَتْ عَلَى جَوَانِبِهَا ٱلْأَرْبَعَةِ. لَمْ تَدُرْ عِنْدَ سَيْرِهَا، بَلْ إِلَى ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي تَوَجَّهَ إِلَيْهِ ٱلرَّأْسُ ذَهَبَتْ وَرَاءَهُ. لَمْ تَدُرْ عِنْدَ سَيْرِهَا.

12 Their whole body, including their backs, their hands, their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes all around, even the wheels that the four of them had.

١٢ وَكُلُّ جِسْمِهَا وَظُهُورِهَا وَأَيْدِيهَا وَأَجْنِحَتِهَا وَٱلْبَكَرَاتِ مَلْآنَةٌ عُيُونًا حَوَالَيْهَا لِبَكَرَاتِهَا ٱلْأَرْبَعِ.

13 As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, “the whirling wheels”.

١٣ أَمَّا ٱلْبَكَرَاتُ فَنُودِيَ إِلَيْهَا فِي سَمَاعِي: «يَا بَكْرَةُ».

14 Every one of them had four faces. The first face was the face of the cherub. The second face was the face of a man. The third face was the face of a lion. The fourth was the face of an eagle.

١٤ وَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ أَرْبَعَةُ أَوْجُهٍ: ٱلْوَجْهُ ٱلْأَوَّلُ وَجْهُ كَرُوبٍ، وَٱلْوَجْهُ ٱلثَّانِي وَجْهُ إِنْسَانٍ، وَٱلثَّالِثُ وَجْهُ أَسَدٍ، وَٱلرَّابِعُ وَجْهُ نَسْرٍ.

15 The cherubim mounted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar.

١٥ ثُمَّ صَعِدَ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمُ. هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْحَيَوَانُ ٱلَّذِي رَأَيْتُهُ عِنْدَ نَهْرِ خَابُورَ.

16 When the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels also didn’t turn from beside them.

١٦ وَعِنْدَ سَيْرِ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمِ سَارَتِ ٱلْبَكَرَاتُ بِجَانِبِهَا، وَعِنْدَ رَفْعِ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمِ أَجْنِحَتَهَا لِلِٱرْتِفَاعِ عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ لَمْ تَدُرِ ٱلْبَكَرَاتُ أَيْضًا عَنْ جَانِبِهَا.

17 When they stood, these stood. When they mounted up, these mounted up with them; for the spirit of the living creature was in them.

١٧ عِنْدَ وُقُوفِهَا وَقَفَتْ هَذِهِ، وَعِنْدَ ٱرْتِفَاعِهَا ٱرْتَفَعَتْ مَعَهَا، لِأَنَّ فِيهَا رُوحَ ٱلْحَيَوَانِ.

18 Yahweh’s glory went out from over the threshold of the house and stood over the cherubim.

١٨ وَخَرَجَ مَجْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ مِنْ عَلَى عَتَبَةِ ٱلْبَيْتِ وَوَقَفَ عَلَى ٱلْكَرُوبِيمِ.

19 The cherubim lifted up their wings and mounted up from the earth in my sight when they went out, with the wheels beside them. Then they stood at the door of the east gate of Yahweh’s house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.

١٩ فَرَفَعَتِ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمُ أَجْنِحَتَهَا وَصَعِدَتْ عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ قُدَّامَ عَيْنَيَّ. عِنْدَ خُرُوجِهَا كَانَتِ ٱلْبَكَرَاتُ مَعَهَا، وَوَقَفَتْ عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ بَابِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلشَّرْقِيِّ، وَمَجْدُ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ فَوْقُ.

20 This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and I knew that they were cherubim.

٢٠ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْحَيَوَانُ ٱلَّذِي رَأَيْتُهُ تَحْتَ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ عِنْدَ نَهْرِ خَابُورَ. وَعَلِمْتُ أَنَّهَا هِيَ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمُ.

21 Every one had four faces, and every one four wings. The likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.

٢١ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ أَرْبَعَةُ أَوْجُهٍ، وَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ أَرْبَعَةُ أَجْنِحَةٍ، وَشِبْهُ أَيْدِي إِنْسَانٍ تَحْتَ أَجْنِحَتِهَا.

22 As for the likeness of their faces, they were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves. They each went straight forward.

٢٢ وَشَكْلُ وُجُوهِهَا هُوَ شَكْلُ ٱلْوُجُوهِ ٱلَّتِي رَأَيْتُهَا عِنْدَ نَهْرِ خَابُورَ مَنَاظِرُهَا وَذَوَاتُهَا. كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ يَسِيرُ إِلَى جِهَةِ وَجْهِهِ.
