حِزْقِيَال 10

١ 1 ثُمَّ نَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا عَلَى ٱلْمُقَبَّبِ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى رَأْسِ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمِ شَيْءٌ كَحَجَرِ ٱلْعَقِيقِ ٱلْأَزْرَقِ، كَمَنْظَرِ شِبْهِ عَرْشٍ.

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.

٢ 2 وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّجُلَ ٱللَّابِسَ ٱلْكَتَّانِ وَقَالَ: «ٱدْخُلْ بَيْنَ ٱلْبَكَرَاتِ تَحْتَ ٱلْكَرُوبِ وَٱمْلَأْ حَفْنَتَيْكَ جَمْرَ نَارٍ مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمِ، وَذَرِّهَا عَلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ». فَدَخَلَ قُدَّامَ عَيْنَيَّ.

And he said to the man clothed with the [long] robe, Go in between the wheels that are under the cherubs, and fill your hands with coals of fire from between the cherubs, and scatter [them] over the city. And he went in my sight.

٣ 3 وَٱلْكَرُوبِيمُ وَاقِفُونَ عَنْ يَمِينِ ٱلْبَيْتِ حِينَ دَخَلَ ٱلرَّجُلُ، وَٱلسَّحَابَةُ مَلَأَتِ ٱلدَّارَ ٱلدَّاخِلِيَّةَ.

And the cherubs stood on the right hand of the house, as the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.

٤ 4 فَٱرْتَفَعَ مَجْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَنِ ٱلْكَرُوبِ إِلَى عَتَبَةِ ٱلْبَيْتِ. فَٱمْتَلَأَ ٱلْبَيْتُ مِنَ ٱلسَّحَابَةِ، وَٱمْتَلَأَتِ ٱلدَّارُ مِنْ لَمَعَانِ مَجْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

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.

٥ 5 وَسُمِعَ صَوْتُ أَجْنِحَةِ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمِ إِلَى ٱلدَّارِ ٱلْخَارِجِيَّةِ كَصَوْتِ ٱللهِ ٱلْقَدِيرِ إِذَا تَكَلَّمَ.

And the sound of the cherubs' wings was heard as far as the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God speaking.

٦ 6 وَكَانَ لَمَّا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّجُلَ ٱللَّابِسَ ٱلْكَتَّانِ قَائِلًا: «خُذْ نَارًا مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلْبَكَرَاتِ، مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمِ» أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ وَوَقَفَ بِجَانِبِ ٱلْبَكَرَةِ.

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.

٧ 7 وَمَدَّ كَرُوبٌ يَدَهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمِ إِلَى ٱلنَّارِ ٱلَّتِي بَيْنَ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمِ، فَرَفَعَ مِنْهَا وَوَضَعَهَا فِي حَفْنَتَيِ ٱللَّابِسِ ٱلْكَتَّانِ، فَأَخَذَهَا وَخَرَجَ.

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.

٨ 8 فَظَهَرَ فِي ٱلْكَرُوبِيمِ شِبْهُ يَدِ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْ تَحْتِ أَجْنِحَتِهَا.

And I saw the cherubs [having] the likeness of men's hands under their wings.

٩ 9 وَنَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا أَرْبَعُ بَكَرَاتٍ بِجَانِبِ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمِ. بَكَرَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ بِجَانِبِ ٱلْكَرُوبِ ٱلْوَاحِدِ، وَبَكَرَةٌ أُخْرَى بِجَانِبِ ٱلْكَرُوبِ ٱلْآخَرِ. وَمَنْظَرُ ٱلْبَكَرَاتِ كَشِبْهِ حَجَرِ ٱلزَّبَرْجَدِ.

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.

١٠ 10 وَمَنْظَرُهُنَّ شَكْلٌ وَاحِدٌ لِلْأَرْبَعِ. كَأَنَّهُ كَانَ بَكْرَةٌ وَسْطِ بَكْرَةٍ.

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.

١١ 11 لَمَّا سَارَتْ، سَارَتْ عَلَى جَوَانِبِهَا ٱلْأَرْبَعَةِ. لَمْ تَدُرْ عِنْدَ سَيْرِهَا، بَلْ إِلَى ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي تَوَجَّهَ إِلَيْهِ ٱلرَّأْسُ ذَهَبَتْ وَرَاءَهُ. لَمْ تَدُرْ عِنْدَ سَيْرِهَا.

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.

١٢ 12 وَكُلُّ جِسْمِهَا وَظُهُورِهَا وَأَيْدِيهَا وَأَجْنِحَتِهَا وَٱلْبَكَرَاتِ مَلْآنَةٌ عُيُونًا حَوَالَيْهَا لِبَكَرَاتِهَا ٱلْأَرْبَعِ.

And their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about the four wheels.

١٣ 13 أَمَّا ٱلْبَكَرَاتُ فَنُودِيَ إِلَيْهَا فِي سَمَاعِي: «يَا بَكْرَةُ».

And these wheels were called Gelgel in my hearing.

١٤ 14 وَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ أَرْبَعَةُ أَوْجُهٍ: ٱلْوَجْهُ ٱلْأَوَّلُ وَجْهُ كَرُوبٍ، وَٱلْوَجْهُ ٱلثَّانِي وَجْهُ إِنْسَانٍ، وَٱلثَّالِثُ وَجْهُ أَسَدٍ، وَٱلرَّابِعُ وَجْهُ نَسْرٍ.

١٥ 15 ثُمَّ صَعِدَ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمُ. هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْحَيَوَانُ ٱلَّذِي رَأَيْتُهُ عِنْدَ نَهْرِ خَابُورَ.

And the cherubs were the same living creature which I saw by the river of Chobar.

١٦ 16 وَعِنْدَ سَيْرِ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمِ سَارَتِ ٱلْبَكَرَاتُ بِجَانِبِهَا، وَعِنْدَ رَفْعِ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمِ أَجْنِحَتَهَا لِلِٱرْتِفَاعِ عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ لَمْ تَدُرِ ٱلْبَكَرَاتُ أَيْضًا عَنْ جَانِبِهَا.

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.

١٧ 17 عِنْدَ وُقُوفِهَا وَقَفَتْ هَذِهِ، وَعِنْدَ ٱرْتِفَاعِهَا ٱرْتَفَعَتْ مَعَهَا، لِأَنَّ فِيهَا رُوحَ ٱلْحَيَوَانِ.

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.

١٨ 18 وَخَرَجَ مَجْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ مِنْ عَلَى عَتَبَةِ ٱلْبَيْتِ وَوَقَفَ عَلَى ٱلْكَرُوبِيمِ.

Then the glory of the Lord departed from the house, and went up on the cherubs.

١٩ 19 فَرَفَعَتِ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمُ أَجْنِحَتَهَا وَصَعِدَتْ عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ قُدَّامَ عَيْنَيَّ. عِنْدَ خُرُوجِهَا كَانَتِ ٱلْبَكَرَاتُ مَعَهَا، وَوَقَفَتْ عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ بَابِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلشَّرْقِيِّ، وَمَجْدُ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ فَوْقُ.

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.

٢٠ 20 هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْحَيَوَانُ ٱلَّذِي رَأَيْتُهُ تَحْتَ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ عِنْدَ نَهْرِ خَابُورَ. وَعَلِمْتُ أَنَّهَا هِيَ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمُ.

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.

٢١ 21 لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ أَرْبَعَةُ أَوْجُهٍ، وَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ أَرْبَعَةُ أَجْنِحَةٍ، وَشِبْهُ أَيْدِي إِنْسَانٍ تَحْتَ أَجْنِحَتِهَا.

Each one [had] four faces, and each one [had] eight wings; and under their wings was the likeness of men's hands.

٢٢ 22 وَشَكْلُ وُجُوهِهَا هُوَ شَكْلُ ٱلْوُجُوهِ ٱلَّتِي رَأَيْتُهَا عِنْدَ نَهْرِ خَابُورَ مَنَاظِرُهَا وَذَوَاتُهَا. كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ يَسِيرُ إِلَى جِهَةِ وَجْهِهِ.

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.
