エゼキエル書 10

1 時にわたしは見ていたが、見よ、ケルビムの頭の上の大空に、サファイヤのようなものが王座の形をして、その上に現れた。

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.

2 彼は亜麻布を着たその人に言われた、「ケルビムの下の回る車の間にはいり、ケルビムの間から炭火をとってあなたの手に満たし、これを町中にまき散らせ」。そして彼はわたしの目の前ではいった。

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.

3 この人がはいった時、ケルビムは宮の南側に立っていた。また雲はその内庭を満たしていた。

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.

4 主の栄光はケルビムの上から宮の敷居の上にあがり、宮は雲で満ち、庭は主の栄光の輝きで満たされた。

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.

5 時にケルビムの翼の音が大能の神が語られる声のように外庭にまで聞えた。

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.

6 彼が亜麻布を着ている人に、「回る車の間、ケルビムの間から火を取れ」。と命じた時、その人ははいって、輪のかたわらに立った。

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.

7 ひとりのケルブはその手をケルビムの間から伸べて、ケルビムの間にある火を取り、亜麻布を着た人の手に置いた。すると彼はこれを取って出て行った。

And stretching out his hand to the fire which was between the winged ones, he took some of it and went out.

8 ケルビムはその翼の下に人の手のような形のものを持っているように見えた。

And I saw the form of a man's hands among the winged ones under their wings.

9 わたしが見ていると、見よ、ケルビムのかたわらに四つの輪があり、一つの輪はひとりのケルブのかたわらに、他の輪は他のケルブのかたわらにあった。輪のさまは、光る貴かんらん石のようであった。

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.

10 そのさまは四つとも同じ形で、あたかも輪の中に輪があるようであった。

In form the four of them were all the same, they seemed like a wheel inside a wheel.

11 その行く時は四方のどこへでも行く。その行く時は回らない。ただ先頭の輪の向くところに従い、その行く時は回ることをしない。

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.

12 その輪縁、その輻、および輪には、まわりに目が満ちていた。―その輪は四つともこれを持っていた。

And the edges of the four wheels were full of eyes round about.

13 その輪はわたしの聞いている所で、「回る輪」と呼ばれた。

As for the wheels, they were named in my hearing, the circling wheels.

14 そのおのおのには四つの顔があった。第一の顔はケルブの顔、第二の顔は人の顔、第三はししの顔、第四はわしの顔であった。

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.

15 その時ケルビムはのぼった。これがケバル川でわたしが見た生きものである。

And the winged ones went up on high: this is the living being which I saw by the river Chebar.

16 ケルビムの行く時、輪もそのかたわらに行き、ケルビムが翼をあげて地から飛びあがる時は、輪もそのかたわらを離れない。

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.

17 その立ちどまる時は、輪も立ちどまり、そののぼる時は、輪も共にのぼる。生きものの霊がその中にあるからである。

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.

18 時に主の栄光が宮の敷居から出て行って、ケルビムの上に立った。

Then the glory of the Lord went out from the doorstep of the house, and came to rest over the winged ones.

19 するとケルビムは翼をあげて、わたしの目の前で、地からのぼった。その出て行く時、輪もまたこれと共にあり、主の宮の東の門の入口の所へ行って止まった。イスラエルの神の栄光がその上にあった。

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.

20 これがすなわちわたしがケバル川のほとりで、イスラエルの神の下に見たかの生きものである。わたしはそれがケルビムであることを知っていた。

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.

21 これにはおのおの四つの顔があり、おのおの四つの翼があり、また人の手のようなものがその翼の下にあった。

Every one had four faces and every one had four wings; and hands like a man's hands were under their wings.

22 その顔の形は、ケバル川のほとりでわたしが見たそのままの顔である。おのおのその前の方にまっすぐに行った。

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.
