حِزْقِيال 10

١ 1 ثُمَّ نَظَرْتُ وَإذَا عَلَى أَدِيمِ الْمُقَبَّبِ الَّذِي فَوْقَ رَأْسِ الْكَرُوبِيمِ مَا يُشْبِهُ الْعَرْشَ، وَكَأَنَّهُ مِنْ حَجَرِ الْعَقِيقِ الأَزْرَقِ.

Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubims there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.

٢ 2 وَقَالَ لِلرَّجُلِ الْمُرْتَدِي الْكَتَّانَ: «ادْخُلْ بَيْنَ الْعَجَلاتِ تَحْتَ الْكَرُوبِ وَامْلَأْ كَفَّيْكَ جَمْرَ نَارٍ مِنْ بَيْنِ الْكَرُوبِيمِ، وَذَرِّ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ». فَدَخَلَ عَلَى مَرْأَىً مِنِّي.

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

٣ 3 وَكَانَ الْكَرُوبِيمُ وَاقِفِينَ عَنْ يَمِينِ الْبَيْتِ حِينَ دَخَلَ بَيْنَ الْعَجَلاتِ، فَمَلأَتِ السَّحَابَةُ الْفِنَاءَ الدَّاخِلِيَّ.

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

٤ 4 ثُمَّ ارْتَفَعَ مَجْدُ الرَّبِّ عَنِ الْكَرُوبِ وَاسْتَقَرَّ عَلَى عَتَبَةِ الْهَيْكَلِ، فَامْتَلأَ الْهَيْكَلُ مِنَ السَّحَابَةِ، وَغَمَرَ الْفِنَاءَ لَمَعَانٌ مِنْ مَجْدِ الرَّبِّ.

Then the glory of the LORD went 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.

٥ 5 وَبَلَغَ صَوْتُ أَجْنِحَةِ الْكَرُوبِيمِ الْفِنَاءَ الْخَارِجِيَّ كَصَوْتِ اللهِ الْقَدِيرِ إِذَا تَكَلَّمَ.

And the sound of the cherubims’ wings was heard [even] to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh.

٦ 6 فَلَمَّا أَمَرَ الرَّجُلَ الْمُرْتَدِيَ الْكَتَّانَ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ نَاراً مِنْ بَيْنِ الْعَجَلاتِ مِنْ بَيْنِ الْكَرُوبِيمِ دَخَلَ الرَّجُلُ وَوَقَفَ إِزَاءَ الْعَجَلَةِ.

And it came to pass, [that] when he had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubims; then he went in, and stood beside the wheels.

٧ 7 فَمَدَّ كَرُوبٌ مِنْ بَيْنِ الْكَرُوبِيمِ يَدَهُ إِلَى النَّارِ الَّتِي كَانَتْ بَيْنَ الْكَرُوبِيمِ، وَتَنَاوَلَ مِنْهَا جَمْراً، وَوَضَعَهُ فِي كَفَيِّ الْمُرْتَدِي الْكَتَّانَ، فَأَخَذَهَا هَذَا وَخَرَجَ.

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

٨ 8 وَبَدَا أَنَّ لِلْكَرُوبِيمِ تَحْتَ أَجْنِحَتِهِمْ يَداً تُشْبِهُ يَدَ الْبَشَرِ.

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

٩ 9 وَنَظَرْتُ وَإذَا بِأَرْبَعِ عَجَلاتٍ إِزَاءَ الْكَرُوبِيمِ؛ كُلُّ عَجَلَةٍ بِجُوَارِ كَرُوبٍ. وَكَانَ مَنْظَرُ الْعَجَلاتِ كَمَنْظَرِ حَجَرِ الزَّبَرْجَدِ.

And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubims, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels [was] as the colour of a beryl stone.

١٠ 10 وَكَانَتِ الأَرْبَعُ مُتَمَاثِلَةَ الشَّكْلِ وَكَأَنَّمَا كُلُّ عَجَلَةٍ فِي وَسَطِ عَجَلَةٍ.

And [as for] their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel.

١١ 11 وَإذَا تَحَرَّكَتْ لِتَسِيرَ فَإِنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَتَّجِهُ فِي سَيْرِهَا فِي أَيِّ اتِّجَاهٍ مِنَ الاتِّجَاهَاتِ الأَرْبَعَةِ، وَفْقاً لِاتِّجَاهِ الرَّأْسِ، فَتَسِيرُ خَلْفَهُ وَلا تَحِيدُ عَنْ طَرِيقِهَا.

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.

١٢ 12 وَكَانَتْ جَوَانِبُ أَجْسَامِ الْكَائِنَاتِ وَظُهُورُهَا وَأَيْدِيهَا وَأَجْنِحَتُهَا وَالْعَجَلاتُ الَّتِي تَخُصُّهَا مَلأَى بِالْعُيُونِ.

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.

١٣ 13 وَدُعِيَتِ الْعَجَلاتُ عَلَى مَسْمَعِي بِالْعَجَلاتِ.

As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O wheel.

١٤ 14 وَكَانَ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ أَرْبَعَةُ أَوْجُهٍ: الْوَجْهُ الأَوَّلُ وَجْهُ كَرُوبٍ، وَالْوَجْهُ الثَّانِي وَجْهُ إِنْسَانٍ وَالْوَجْهُ الثَّالِثُ وَجْهُ أَسَدٍ، وَالْوَجْهُ الرَّابِعُ وَجْهُ نَسْرٍ.

And every one had four faces: the first face [was] the face of a 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.

١٥ 15 ثُمَّ ارْتَفَعَ الْكَرُوبِيمُ، فَكَانَتْ هَذِهِ هِيَ الْكَائِنَاتُ الَّتِي شَاهَدْتُهَا بِجُوَارِ نَهْرِ خَابُورَ.

And the cherubims were lifted up. This [is] the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar.

١٦ 16 وَعِنْدَمَا تَحَرَّكَ الْكَرُوبِيمُ تَحَرَّكَتِ الْعَجَلاتُ بِجُوَارِهِمْ، وَعِنْدَمَا فَرَدَ الْكَرُوبِيمُ أَجْنِحَتَهُمْ لِيُحَلِّقُوا فَوْقَ الأَرْضِ، حَلَّقَتِ الْعَجَلاتُ إِلَى جُوَارِهِمْ بِنَفْسِ الاتِّجَاهِ، وَلَمْ تَحِدْ عَنْهُمْ.

And when the cherubims went, the wheels went by them: and when the cherubims lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also turned not from beside them.

١٧ 17 فَإِنْ تَوَقَّفُوا تَوَقَّفَتْ، وَإِنْ حَلَّقُوا تُحَلِّقْ مَعَهُمْ، لأَنَّ رُوحَ الْكَائِنَاتِ الْحَيَّةِ كَانَ فِيهَا أَيْضاً.

When they stood, [these] stood; and when they were lifted up, [these] lifted up themselves [also: ] for the spirit of the living creature [was] in them.

١٨ 18 وَفَارَقَ مَجْدُ الرَّبِّ عَتَبَةَ الْهَيْكَلِ وَخَيَّمَ فَوْقَ الْكَرُوبِيمِ.

Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubims.

١٩ 19 وَعِنْدَمَا ارْتَفَعَ الْكَرُوبِيمُ فَرَدُوا أَجْنِحَتَهُمْ وَحَلَّقُوا فَوْقَ الأَرْضِ عَلَى مَرْأَى مِنِّي، وَحَلَّقَتِ الْعَجَلاتُ مَعَهُمْ، ثُمَّ تَوَقَّفُوا عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ بَوَّابَةِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ الشَّرْقِيِّ، وَمَجْدُ الرَّبِّ مَا بَرِحَ مُخَيِّماً عَلَيْهِمْ.

And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also [were] beside them, and [every one] 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.

٢٠ 20 هَذِهِ هِيَ الْكَائِنَاتُ الْحَيَّةُ الَّتِي شَاهَدْتُهَا تَحْتَ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ عِنْدَ نَهْرِ خَابُورَ. فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُمُ الْكَرُوبِيمُ.

This [is] the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they [were] the cherubims.

٢١ 21 وَكَانَ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ أَرْبَعَةُ أَوْجُهٍ وَأَرْبَعَةُ أَجْنِحَةٍ، وَتَحْتَ أَجْنِحَتِهِمْ أَيْدٍ مُمَاثِلَةٌ لأَيْدِي الْبَشَرِ.

Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man [was] under their wings.

٢٢ 22 أَمَّا أَشْكَالُ وُجُوهِهِمْ فَكَانَتْ نَفْسَ الْوُجُوهِ الَّتِي رَأَيْتُهَا عِنْدَ نَهْرِ خَابُورَ، لَا تَخْتَلِفُ عَنْهَا فِي صُوَرِهَا وَمَعَالِمِهَا، وَكُلُّ وَاحِدٍ يَتَحَرَّكُ إِلَى الأَمَامِ حَسَبَ اتِّجَاهِهِ.

And the likeness of their faces [was] the same faces which I saw by the river of Chebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one straight forward.
