Ezekiel 10
1 Ka sawt vaengah cherubim lu dongkah bangyai soah ngolkhoel phek te a mueimae ah minhum lung bangla amih soah lawt a tueng pah.
And I looked and saw above the expanse, above the heads of the cherubim, the likeness of a throne of sapphire.
2 Te phoeiah takhlawk pueinak aka bai hlang te a voek tih, “Cherubim kungdak kah humhae laklo ah kun laeh. Hmai dongkah hmai-alh te na kutnarhum dongah poem lamtah cherubim laklo lamloh khopuei soah haeh,” a ti nah phoeiah ka mikhmuh ah kun.
And the LORD said to the man clothed in linen, “Go inside the wheelwork beneath the cherubim. Fill your hands with burning coals from among the cherubim and scatter them over the city.” And as I watched, he went in.
3 Te vaengah cherubim rhoek te im kah bantang ah pai uh. Hlang a kun vaengah vongup khui ah cingmai bae.
Now when the man went in, the cherubim were standing on the south side of the temple, and a cloud filled the inner court.
4 Te phoeiah BOEIPA thangpomnah te cherubim so lamloh im thohkong duela pomsang hang. Te vaengah im te cingmai baetawt tih vongup ah BOEIPA kah thangpomnah a aa te bae.
Then the glory of the LORD rose from above the cherubim and stood over the threshold of the temple. The temple was filled with the cloud, and the court was filled with the brightness of the glory of the LORD.
5 Cherubim kah phae ol te vongup voel duela Tlungthang Pathen a cal vaengkah ol bangla ka yaak.
The sound of the wings of the cherubim could be heard as far as the outer court, like the voice of God Almighty when He speaks.
6 Te phoeiah takhlawk pueinak hlang te a uen tih, “Humhae laklo lamkah hmai te cherubim laklo lamloh lo lah,” a ti nah. Te dongah kun tih lengkho taengah pai.
When the LORD commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, “Take fire from within the wheelwork, from among the cherubim,” the man went in and stood beside a wheel.
7 Te vaengah cherub loh cherubim lakli lamloh a kut a thueng tih cherubim laklo kah hmai te a loh. Te phoeiah a khuen tih takhlawk pueinak kutnarhum ah a paek. Te dongah a khuen tih cet.
Then one of the cherubim reached out his hand and took some of the fire that was among them. And he put it into the hands of the man clothed in linen, who received it and went out.
8 Amih cherubim kah a phae hmuiah hlang kut bangla a muei tueng.
(The cherubim appeared to have the form of human hands under their wings.)
9 Te phoeiah cherubim kaepah lengkho pali lawt ka hmuh. Cherub pakhat taengah langkho pakhat, cherub pakhat taengah lengkho pakhat tlip om. Lengkho a mueimae tah timsuih lung kah a pang bangla om.
Then I looked and saw four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub. And the wheels gleamed like a beryl stone.
10 Amih pali te a mueimae khaw pakhat phek la om. Lengkho kah a laklung ah lengkho bangla om bal.
As for their appearance, all four had the same form, like a wheel within a wheel.
11 A caeh uh vaengah a vae pali neh cet uh tih mael uh thai pawh. A caeh ham hmuen la a lu a hooi uh tih a hnuk ah a caeh uh dongah amamih a caeh bangla hoilae tloel.
When they moved, they would go in any of the four directions, without turning as they moved. For wherever the head faced, the cherubim would go in that direction, without turning as they moved.
12 A pum tom neh a uen khaw khaw, a kut neh a phae neh a lengkho khaw, a lengkho pali kah kaepvai a mik hoeng la om.
Their entire bodies, including their backs, hands, and wings, were full of eyes all around, as were their four wheels.
13 Amih kah lengkho te kai hna ah tah, “Humhae ni,” a ti.
I heard the wheels being called “the whirling wheels.”
14 Pakhat rhip te maelhmai pali om tih pakhat kah maelhmai tah cherub maelhmai la, a pabae kah maelhmai tah hlang maelhmai la, a pathum te sathueng maelhmai neh a pali te tahatha maelhmai la om.
Each of the cherubim had four faces: the first face was that of a cherub, the second that of a man, the third that of a lion, and the fourth that of an eagle.
15 Te phoeiah cherubim rhoek te pomsang uh hang. He mulhing ni Kebar tuiva ah ka hmuh.
Then the cherubim rose upward. These were the living creatures I had seen by the River Kebar.
16 Cherubim rhoek a caeh vaengah a taengkah lengkho rhoek khaw cet van. Cherubim rhoek te a phae phuel uh tih diklai dong lamloh a pomsang vaengah a taengkah a lengkho te khaw dul pawh.
When the cherubim moved, the wheels moved beside them, and even when they spread their wings to rise from the ground, the wheels did not veer away from their side.
17 Amih khuikah mulhing mueihla te amamih neh a om dongah tih a pai vaengah tangrhoeng pai uh tih a phoh uh vaengah tangrhoeng phok uh.
When the cherubim stood still, the wheels also stood still, and when they ascended, the wheels ascended with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
18 Te vaengah BOEIPA kah thangpomnah tah im thohkong so lamloh nong tih cherubim soah pai.
Then the glory of the LORD moved away from the threshold of the temple and stood above the cherubim.
19 Te phoeiah cherubim rhoek loh a phae a phuel tih ka mikhmuh kah diklai lamloh pomsang hang. Amih bangla a voeivang kah lengkho khaw cet tih yan BOEIPA im vongka thohka pai. Te vaengah Israel Pathen kah thangpomnah he amih sokah a so duela om.
As I watched, the cherubim lifted their wings and rose up from the ground, with the wheels beside them as they went. And they stopped at the entrance of the east gate of the house of the LORD, with the glory of the God of Israel above them.
20 Kebar tuiva kah Israel Pathen hmui ah mulhing ka hmuh he cherubim la ka ming.
These were the living creatures I had seen beneath the God of Israel by the River Kebar, and I knew that they were cherubim.
21 Pakhat loh maelhmai pali, pali neh pakhat rhip phae pali a khueh tih a phae hmui te hlang kut phek la om.
Each had four faces and four wings, with what looked like human hands under their wings.
22 Kebar tuiva ah a maelhmai ka hmuh te amih maelhmai phek ni. A mueimae ah khaw amih ni. Tekah hlang te a maelhmai neh a dannah la cet.
Their faces looked like the faces I had seen by the River Kebar. Each creature went straight ahead.
