Ezekiel 10

1 Then I looked, and behold, in the firmament 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.

Pea naʻaku mamata, pea vakai, naʻe hā mai ʻae meʻa hangē ko e maka ko e safaia mei he fakamalumalu naʻe ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he ʻulu ʻoe selupimi, pea naʻe hā mai ia hangē ko ha nofoʻa fakatuʻi.

2 And he spake unto the man clothed in linen, and said, Go in between the whirling [wheels], even under the cherub, and fill both thine hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight.

Pea naʻe folofola ia ki he tangata naʻe kofuʻaki ʻae tupenu lelei, ʻo ne pehē, “Hū atu ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ngaahi teka, ʻi he lalo selupi, pea fakapito ʻaki ho nima ʻae malalaʻi afi mei he vahaʻa ʻoe selupimi pea fakamokulu ia ki he kolo.” Pea naʻa ne hū atu ia ʻi hoku ʻao.

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

Pea ko eni, naʻe hū atu ʻae tangata ʻoku tuʻu ʻae selupimi ʻi he potu toʻomataʻu ʻoe fale; pea naʻe fakafonu ʻaki ʻae ʻao ʻae lotoʻā ki loto.

4 And the glory of the LORD 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 the LORD’S glory.

Pea naʻe toki hiki hake ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova mei he selupi, pea tuʻu mei he matapā ʻoe fale: pea naʻe pito ʻae fale ʻi he ʻao, pea pito mo e lotoʻā ʻi he malama ʻoe nāunau ʻo Sihova.

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

Pea naʻe ongo atu ʻo aʻu ki he lotoʻā kituʻa ʻae patū ʻoe kapakau ʻoe selupimi ʻo hangē ko e leʻo ʻoe ʻOtua Māfimafi ʻoka folofola ia.

6 And 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.

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene fekau ki he tangata naʻe kofuʻaki ʻae tupenu lelei, ʻo pehē, Toʻo ʻae afi mei he vahaʻa ʻoe ngaahi teka mei he vahaʻa ʻoe selupimi; pea toki hū atu ia ʻo ne tuʻu ofi ki he ngaahi teka.

7 And the cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubim unto the fire that was between the cherubim, and took [thereof], and put it into the hands of him that was clothed in linen, who took it and went out.

Pea mafao atu ʻe he selupi ʻe taha ʻa hono nima mei he vahaʻa ʻoe selupimi ki he afi naʻe ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe selupimi, ʻo ne toʻo mei ai ʻo ne tuku ki he nima ʻo ia naʻe kofuʻaki ʻae tupenu lelei pea ne ʻave ia ʻe ia, ʻo ne ʻalu atu.

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

Pea naʻe hā mai ʻi he selupimi hangē ko e nima ʻoe tangata ʻi honau lalo kapakau:

9 And I looked, and behold, four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside one cherub, and another wheel beside another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was as the colour of a beryl stone.

Pea ʻi heʻeku mamata, vakai naʻe ʻi he selupimi ʻae teka ʻe fā, ko e teka ʻe taha ʻi he selupi ʻe taha, pea ko e teka ʻe taha ʻi he selupi ʻe taha: pea ko e hā mai ʻae ngaahi teka naʻe hangē ko e lanu ʻoe maka ko e pelili.

10 And as for their appearance, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been within a wheel.

Pea ko e anga ʻo ʻenau hā mai, naʻe mata tatau ʻae toko fā ko ia, ʻo hangē naʻe ʻai ki he loto teka ʻe taha ha teka ʻe taha.

11 When they went, they went upon their four sides: they turned not as they went, but to the place whither the head looked they followed it; they turned not as they went.

‌ʻI heʻenau ʻalu, naʻa nau ʻalu ʻi honau tafaʻaki ʻe fā; naʻe ʻikai te nau tafoki ʻi heʻenau ʻalu, ka ko e potu ko ia naʻe hanga ki ai honau mata naʻa nau muimui ai; naʻe ʻikai te nau tafoki ʻi heʻenau ʻalu.

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.

Pea ko honau sino kotoa mo honau tuʻa, mo honau nima, mo honau kapakau, pea mo e ngaahi teka, naʻe fonu takatakai ʻi he mata, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi teka naʻe ʻi he toko fā ni.

13 As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, the whirling [wheels].

Pea naʻe ui ki he ngaahi teka, ka ʻoku ou fanongo, “Ke ngaue atu.”

14 And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of the 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.

Pea naʻe taki taha maʻu ʻae mata ʻe fā: ko e ʻuluaki mata ko e mata ia ʻoe selupi, pea ko hono ua ʻoe mata, ko e mata ia ʻoe tangata, pea ko hono tolu ko e mata ʻoe laione, pea ko hono fā ko e mata ʻoe ʻikale.

15 And the cherubim mounted up: this is the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar.

Pea naʻe hiki ki ʻolunga ʻae selupimi, Ko eni ia ʻae meʻa moʻui ko ia naʻaku mamata ai ʻi he veʻe vaitafe ʻo Kipa.

16 And 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 turned not from beside them.

Pea ka ʻalu ʻae selupimi, naʻe ngaue fakataha mo e ngaahi teka: pea ʻi he fakamafola ʻe he selupimi honau kapakau ke puna hake mei he fonua, naʻe ʻikai foki atu meiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi teka ko ia.

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

Ka nau ka tuʻumaʻu, ne tuʻumaʻu ia; pea ka hiki ki ʻolunga ʻakinautolu, naʻe hiki hake foki ia ʻe ia: he naʻe ʻi ai ʻae laumālie ʻoe meʻa moʻui.

18 And the glory of the LORD went forth from over the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim.

Pea naʻe toki mahuʻi atu ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova mei he matapā ʻoe fale ʻo tuʻu mei ʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi selupimi.

19 And the cherubim lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight when they went forth, and the wheels beside them: and they 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.

Pea naʻe mafola hake ʻe he selupimi honau kapakau, ʻonau puna hake mei he kelekele ʻi hoku ʻao: pea ʻi heʻenau ʻalu atu naʻe ʻi ai pe foki ʻae ngaahi teka, pea naʻe tutuʻu kotoa pē ʻi he matapā fakahahake ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova; pea naʻe ʻi ʻolunga ʻiate kinautolu ʻae nāunau ʻoe ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.

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.

Ko eni ia ʻae meʻa moʻui ko ia naʻaku mamata ʻoku ʻafio mei ai ʻae ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he veʻe vaitafe ʻo Kipa; pea naʻaku ʻilo ko e selupimi pe ʻakinautolu.

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.

Naʻe taki taha maʻu ʻae mata ʻe fā, pea taki taha ʻae kapakau ʻe fā; pea hangē ko e nima ʻoe tangata ʻi honau lalo kapakau.

22 And as for the likeness of their faces, they were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves; they went every one straight forward.

Pea ko e hā mai ʻa honau mata ko e mata pe ia naʻaku mamata ai ʻi he veʻe vaitafe ʻo Kipa, ʻae anga ʻo ʻenau hā mai mo kinautolu foki: naʻe ʻalu fakahangatonu atu ʻakinautolu taki taha.
