Ezeekyeri 10
1 Ne ntunula, laba, ekifaananyi eky’entebe ey’obwakabaka eya safiro nga kiri waggulu w’ekibangirizi w’emitwe gya bakerubi.
Then I saw, and, behold, on the vault that was above the head of the cherubim, there appeared over them something like a sapphire stone, something similar in appearance to the likeness of a throne.
2 Mukama n’agamba omusajja ayambadde linena nti, “Genda wakati wa zinnamuziga wansi wa bakerubi, otoole amanda mu mukono gwo okuva wakati mu bakerubi, ogasaasaanye mu kibuga.” N’ayitawo nga ntunula.
And he said unto the man clothed in linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, under the cherub, and fill thy hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and throw [them] over the city. And he went in before my eyes.
3 Bakerubi baali bayimiridde ku luuyi olw’Obukiikaddyo obwa yeekaalu; omusajja bwe yayingira ekire ne kijjula mu luggya olw’omunda.
Now the cherubim were standing on the right side of the house, when the man went in: and the cloud filled the inner court.
4 Awo ekitiibwa kya Mukama ne kyambuka okuva waggulu wa bakerubi ne kidda mu mulyango gwa yeekaalu. Ekire ne kijjula mu yeekaalu, n’oluggya ne lujjula okumasamasa okw’ekitiibwa kya Mukama.
Then the glory of the Lord rose upward from the cherub, toward 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 N’okuwuuma kw’ebiwaawaatiro bya bakerubi ne kuwulikika wala mu luggya olw’ebweru, ng’eddoboozi lya Mukama ow’Eggye bwe liwulikika ng’ayogedde.
And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard as far as the outer court, like the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh.
6 Mukama bwe yalagira omusajja ayambadde linena nti, “Toola omuliro okuva mu zinnamuziga, wakati mu bakerubi,” omusajja n’ayingira n’ayimirira ku mabbali ga nnamuziga emu.
And it came to pass, when he commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubim, that he went in, and stood beside the wheel.
7 Awo omu ku bakerubi n’agolola omukono gwe eri omuliro ogwali wakati wa bakerubi, n’addira ogumu ku gwo, n’aguteeka mu ngalo ez’omusajja ayambadde linena, eyagutwala n’afuluma.
And the one cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubim unto the fire that was between the cherubim, and lifted it up, and placed it into the hands of the one clothed in linen; who took it, and went out.
8 Wansi w’ebiwaawaatiro bya bakerubi waalabika ng’awaali emikono gy’omuntu.
And there became visible on the cherubim the form of a man's hand beneath their wings.
9 Ne ndaba zinnamuziga nnya ku mabbali ga bakerubi buli nnamuziga ng’eriraanye kerubi, zinnamuziga nga ziyakaayakana ng’ejjinja erya berulo.
And I saw, and, behold, there were four wheels by the cherubim, one wheel by the one cherub, and another wheel by the other cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was like the glitter of a chrysolite stone.
10 Mu ndabika nga zifaanagana, nnamuziga emu ng’eri ng’etudde mu ginnaayo.
And as for their appearances, the whole four had one likeness, as if a wheel were in the midst of another wheel.
11 Mu kuseeseetuka, zaaseeseetukanga mu njuyi nnya bakerubi gye baatunulanga, era zinnamuziga z’omu maaso gye zaayiringitiranga, n’endala zonna gye zaayiringitiranga.
In their going, they went toward their four sides, they turned not round in their going; but to the place whither the head was turned they followed it, they turned not round in their going.
12 Omubiri gwabwe gwonna, n’emigongo gyabwe, n’emikono gyabwe, n’ebiwaawaatiro byabwe, ne zinnamuziga, nga zijjudde amaaso enjuuyi zonna.
And their whole body, and their back, and their hands, and their wings, as also the wheels, were full of eyes round about, [even] the wheels that belonged to all four of them.
13 Ne mpulira zinnamuziga nga ziyitibwa “ezeetooloola eziwulukuka.”
As for the wheels, they were called Galgal before my ears.
14 Buli emu ku zo yalina obwenyi buna: obwenyi obw’olubereberye bwali bwa kerubi, obwokubiri nga bwa musajja, obwokusatu nga bwa mpologoma, obwokuna nga bwa mpungu.
And every one had four faces: the one face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third face was the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
15 Awo bakerubi ne basituka. Bye biramu bye nalaba ku mabbali g’omugga Kebali.
And the cherubim lifted themselves up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river Kebar.
16 Bakerubi bwe baaseeseetukanga, zinnamuziga ezaali ku mabbali ne ziseeseetukira wamu nabo; bakerubi bwe baayanjuluzanga ebiwaawaatiro byabwe okusituka okuva ku ttaka, zinnamuziga nazo tezaavanga ku lusegere.
And when the cherubim went forward, the wheels went close by them; and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels also did not turn away from beside them.
17 Bakerubi bwe baayimiriranga, nazo ne ziyimirira; bakerubi bwe baasitukanga, nnamuziga ne zisitukira wamu nabo, kubanga omwoyo ow’ebiramu yali mu zo.
When those halted, these halted; and when those lifted themselves up, these lifted themselves up with them; for the spirit of the living creature was in them.
18 Awo ekitiibwa kya Mukama ne kiva ku mulyango gwa yeekaalu ne kiyimirira waggulu wa bakerubi.
And the glory of the Lord went forth from off the threshold of the house, and halted over the cherubim.
19 Ne ndaba bakerubi nga bayanjuluza ebiwaawaatiro byabwe, ne basituka okuva ku ttaka, ne zinnamuziga nazo ne zigendera ku mabbali gaabwe. Ne bayimirira awayingirirwa ku luggi olw’ebuvanjuba olwa yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’ekitiibwa kya Katonda owa Isirayiri nga kiri waggulu waabwe.
And the cherubim lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth before my eyes as they went forth, and the wheels at the same time with them, and halted at the entrance of the east gate of the house of the Lord: and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
20 Era ebyo bye biramu bye nalaba wansi wa Katonda wa Isirayiri ku mugga Kebali, olwo ne ntegeera nga bakerubi.
This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Kebar; and I understood that they were cherubim.
21 Buli omu yalina obwenyi buna n’ebiwaawaatiro bina, ne wansi w’ebiwaawaatiro byabwe nga waliyo ebyali ng’emikono gy’omuntu.
Every one had four faces apiece, and every one had four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.
22 Obwenyi bwabwe bwanfaananira nga buli bwe nalaba ku mugga Kebali. Buli omu n’atambula n’agenda mu maaso.
And the likeness of their faces was the same as the faces which I had seen by the river Kebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one in the direction of his face.
