< Izikiel 10 >

1 Mgbe ahụ, elere m anya hụ ocheeze ọma e ji nkume safaia wuo ka ọ pụtara ihe na mbara eluigwe, nʼelu ebe ahụ isi cherubim ndị ahụ dị.
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.
2 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị sịrị nwoke ahụ yi uwe akwa ọcha, “Baa nʼetiti ụkwụ ụgbọala ahụ dị nʼokpuru cherubim ndị ahụ. Site nʼetiti cherubim ndị ahụ kpojuo icheku ọkụ nke na-ere ere nʼaka gị, fesachaa ha nʼime obodo ahụ niile.” Ọ bara nʼime ka m nʼele ya anya.
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.
3 Cherubim ndị ahụ na-eguzo nʼakụkụ ndịda nke ụlọnsọ ahụ mgbe nwoke ahụ banyere. Igwe ojii jupụtakwara nʼogige ime ụlọnsọ ahụ.
Now the cherubim stood on the right side of the house when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.
4 Mgbe ahụ, ebube Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼelu cherubim bilie, bịa guzo nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọnsọ ahụ. Ụlọnsọ ahụ jupụtakwara nʼigwe ojii, ihe nke ebube Onyenwe anyị jupụtakwara nʼogige ụlọnsọ ahụ.
The LORD’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 the LORD’s glory.
5 Ụzụ nke nku cherubim ndị ahụ na-eme dịkwa ka olu Chineke Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile. A na-anụkwa ụzụ nku ndị ahụ nʼogige ụlọnsọ ahụ dị nʼezi.
The sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.
6 Mgbe Onyenwe anyị nyere nwoke ahụ yi uwe ezi akwa ọcha iwu, sị, “Gaa nʼetiti cherubim ahụ gụta ụfọdụ icheku ọkụ dị nʼetiti wịịlu ụgbọala ahụ,” nwoke ahụ banyere guzo nʼakụkụ otu wịịlu ahụ.
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.
7 Mgbe ahụ, otu nʼime ndị cherubim ahụ setịpụrụ aka ya nʼebe ọkụ ahụ dị nʼetiti ha. Ọ gụtara ụfọdụ icheku ọkụ tinye nʼaka nwoke ahụ yi uwe akwa ọcha onye weere ya pụọ.
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.
8 Nʼokpuru nku ndị cherubim ahụ ka a na-ahụta ihe yiri aka mmadụ.
The form of a man’s hand appeared here in the cherubim under their wings.
9 Elere m anya hụ wịịlu anọ, nke dị nʼakụkụ cherubim ndị ahụ. Cherubim ọbụla nwere otu wịịlu nʼakụkụ ya. Wịịlu ndị a niile na-egbu maramara dịka nkume beril.
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.
10 Wịịlu anọ ndị ahụ yiri onwe ha. Nke ọbụla nʼime ha dịka wịịlu a rụnyere nʼetiti wịịlu ọzọ.
As for their appearance, the four of them had one likeness, like a wheel within a wheel.
11 Mgbe ha na-aga, ha niile na-eche ihu nʼakụkụ ọbụla nke cherubim ndị ahụ chere ihu. Wịịlu ndị a adịghị echigharị echigharị mgbe cherubim ndị a na-agagharị. Kama ebe isi cherubim ndị ahụ chere ihu ka wịịlu ndị ahụ na-aga. Ha adịghị elekwa anya nʼazụ dịka ha na-aga.
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.
12 Gburugburu ha, nʼanụ ahụ ha niile, ma nʼazụ ha, ma nʼaka ha, ma na nku ha, ma na wịịlu ndị ahụ, ihe jupụtara ha bụ anya. Anya dị nʼakụkụ ha niile.
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.
13 Aha m nụrụ a na-akpọ wịịlu ndị ahụ bụ, Ọgba gburugburu.
As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, “the whirling wheels”.
14 Nke ọbụla nʼime cherubim ndị a nwere ihu anọ. Ihu nke mbụ dịka ihu cherub. Nke abụọ dịka ihu mmadụ; nke atọ dịka ihu ọdụm, ma nke anọ dịka ihu ugo.
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.
15 Mgbe ahụ, Cherubim ndị ahụ buliri onwe ha elu. Ndị a bụ ihe ndị ahụ dị ndụ nke m hụrụ na mbụ nʼakụkụ osimiri Keba.
The cherubim mounted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar.
16 Mgbe cherubim ndị ahụ na-aga, wịịlu ndị ahụ dị nʼakụkụ ha na-eso ha na-aga. Mgbe ha na-achili nku ha i si nʼala bulie onwe ha elu, wịịlu ha na-anọgidekwa nʼakụkụ ha.
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.
17 Mgbe cherubim ndị ahụ guzoro nʼotu ebe, wịịlu ahụ na-eguzokwa. Mgbe ha na-ebuli onwe ha elu, wịịlu ndị ahụ na-ebulikwa onwe ha elu, nʼihi na mmụọ nke ihe ahụ dị ndụ dị nʼime ha.
When they stood, these stood. When they mounted up, these mounted up with them; for the spirit of the living creature was in them.
18 Emesịa, ebube nke Onyenwe anyị sitere na mbata ọnụ ụzọ ụlọnsọ ahụ pụọ, gaa guzo nʼelu cherubim ndị ahụ.
The LORD’s glory went out from over the threshold of the house and stood over the cherubim.
19 Mgbe m nọ na-ele anya, cherubim ahụ gbasapụrụ nku ha felie, wịịlu ha niile dịkwa nʼakụkụ ha. Ha guzoro na mbata ọnụ ụzọ nke dị nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ nke ụlọ Onyenwe anyị, na ebube nke Chineke nke Izrel dịkwa nʼelu ha.
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 the LORD’s house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
20 Ndị a bụ ihe ndị ahụ dị ndụ, nke m hụrụ nʼokpuru Chineke Izrel nʼakụkụ osimiri Keba, amatara m na ha bụ cherubim.
This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and I knew that they were cherubim.
21 Nke ọbụla nʼime ha nwere ihu anọ na nku anọ, na ihe yiri aka mmadụ nʼokpuru nku ha.
Every one had four faces, and every one four wings. The likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.
22 Ihu ha yikwara ihu ihe ndị ahụ m hụrụ nʼakụkụ osimiri Keba. Nke ọbụla na-agakwa ije nʼihu ihu na-eleghị anya nʼazụ.
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.
