Hiezechielis Prophetæ 10
1 et vidi et ecce in firmamento quod erat super caput cherubin quasi lapis sapphyrus quasi species similitudinis solii apparuit super ea
Then I looked, and, behold, over the firmament that was above the head of the cherubs [there was] a likeness of a throne over them, as a sapphire stone.
2 et dixit ad virum qui indutus erat lineis et ait ingredere in medio rotarum quae sunt subtus cherub et imple manum tuam prunis ignis quae sunt inter cherubin et effunde super civitatem ingressusque est in conspectu meo
And he said to the man clothed with the [long] robe, Go in between the wheels that are under the cherubs, and fill thine hands with coals of fire from between the cherubs, and scatter [them] over the city. And he went in my sight.
3 cherubin autem stabant a dextris domus cum ingrederetur vir et nubes implevit atrium interius
And the cherubs stood on the right hand of the house, as the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.
4 et elevata est gloria Domini desuper cherub ad limen domus et repleta est domus nube et atrium repletum est splendore gloriae Domini
Then the glory of the Lord departed from the cherubs to the porch of the house; and the cloud filled the house, and the court was filled with the brightness of the glory of the Lord.
5 et sonitus alarum cherubin audiebatur usque ad atrium exterius quasi vox Dei omnipotentis loquentis
And the sound of the cherubs' wings was heard as far as the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God speaking.
6 cumque praecepisset viro qui indutus erat lineis dicens sume ignem de medio rotarum quae sunt inter cherubin ingressus ille stetit iuxta rotam
And it came to pass, when he gave a charge to the man clothed with the sacred robe, saying, Take fire from between the wheels from between the cherubs, that he went in, and stood near the wheels.
7 et extendit cherub manum de medio cherubin ad ignem qui erat inter cherubin et sumpsit et dedit in manus eius qui indutus erat lineis qui accipiens egressus est
And he stretched forth his hand into the midst of the fire that was between the cherubs, and took [thereof], and put [it] into the hands of the man clothed with the sacred robe: and he took [it], and went out.
8 et apparuit in cherubin similitudo manus hominis subtus pinnas eorum
And I saw the cherubs [having] the likeness of men's hands under their wings.
9 et vidi et ecce quattuor rotae iuxta cherubin rota una iuxta cherub unum et rota alia iuxta cherub unum species autem erat rotarum quasi visio lapidis chrysoliti
And I saw, and behold, four wheels stood by the cherubs, one wheel by each cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was as the appearance of a carbuncle stone.
10 et aspectus earum similitudo una quattuor quasi sit rota in medio rotae
And [as for] their appearance, [there was] one likeness to the four, as if there should be a wheel in the midst of a wheel.
11 cumque ambularent in quattuor partes gradiebantur non revertebantur ambulantes sed ad locum ad quem ire declinabat quae prima erat sequebantur et ceterae nec convertebantur
When they went, they went on their four sides; they turned not when they went, for whichever way the first head looked, they went; and they turned not as they went.
12 et omne corpus earum et colla et manus et pinnae et circuli plena erant oculis in circuitu quattuor rotarum
And their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about the four wheels.
13 et rotas istas vocavit volubiles audiente me
And these wheels were called Gelgel in my hearing.
14 quattuor autem facies habebat unum facies una facies cherub et facies secunda facies hominis et in tertio facies leonis et in quarto facies aquilae
15 et elevata sunt cherubin ipsum est animal quod videram iuxta flumen Chobar
And the cherubs were the same living creature which I saw by the river of Chobar.
16 cumque ambularent cherubin ibant pariter et rotae iuxta ea et cum levarent cherubin alas suas ut exaltarentur de terra non residebant rotae sed et ipsae iuxta erant
And when the cherubs went, the wheels went, and they were close to them: and when the cherubs lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, their wheels turned not.
17 stantibus illis stabant et cum elevatis elevabantur spiritus enim vitae erat in eis
When they stood, [the wheels] stood; and when they mounted up, [the wheels] mounted up with them: because the spirit of life was in them.
18 et egressa est gloria Domini a limine templi et stetit super cherubin
Then the glory of the Lord departed from the house, and went up on the cherubs.
19 et elevantia cherubin alas suas exaltata sunt a terra coram me et illis egredientibus rotae quoque subsecutae sunt et stetit in introitu portae domus Domini orientalis et gloria Dei Israhel erat super ea
And the cherubs lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went forth, the wheels were also beside them, and they stood at the entrance of the front gate of the house of the Lord; and the glory of the God of Israel was upon them above.
20 ipsum est animal quod vidi subter Deum Israhel iuxta fluvium Chobar et intellexi quia cherubin essent
This is the living creature which I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chobar; and I knew that they were cherubs.
21 quattuor per quattuor vultus uni et quattuor alae uni et similitudo manus hominis sub alis eorum
Each one [had] four faces, and each one [had] eight wings; and under their wings was the likeness of men's hands.
22 et similitudo vultuum eorum ipsi vultus quos videram iuxta fluvium Chobar et intuitus eorum et impetus singulorum ante faciem suam ingredi
And [as for] the likeness of their faces, these are the [same] faces which I saw under the glory of the God of Israel by the river of Chobar: and they went each straight forward.
