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

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 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 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 وَبَلَغَ صَوْتُ أَجْنِحَةِ الْكَرُوبِيمِ الْفِنَاءَ الْخَارِجِيَّ كَصَوْتِ اللهِ الْقَدِيرِ 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 فَلَمَّا أَمَرَ الرَّجُلَ الْمُرْتَدِيَ الْكَتَّانَ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ نَاراً مِنْ بَيْنِ الْعَجَلاتِ مِنْ بَيْنِ الْكَرُوبِيمِ دَخَلَ الرَّجُلُ وَوَقَفَ إِزَاءَ الْعَجَلَةِ.

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 فَمَدَّ كَرُوبٌ مِنْ بَيْنِ الْكَرُوبِيمِ يَدَهُ إِلَى النَّارِ الَّتِي كَانَتْ بَيْنَ الْكَرُوبِيمِ، وَتَنَاوَلَ مِنْهَا جَمْراً، وَوَضَعَهُ فِي كَفَيِّ الْمُرْتَدِي الْكَتَّانَ، فَأَخَذَهَا هَذَا 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 وَبَدَا أَنَّ لِلْكَرُوبِيمِ تَحْتَ أَجْنِحَتِهِمْ يَداً تُشْبِهُ يَدَ الْبَشَرِ.

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

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

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 وَكَانَتِ الأَرْبَعُ مُتَمَاثِلَةَ الشَّكْلِ وَكَأَنَّمَا كُلُّ عَجَلَةٍ فِي وَسَطِ عَجَلَةٍ.

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

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

١٣ 13 وَدُعِيَتِ الْعَجَلاتُ عَلَى مَسْمَعِي بِالْعَجَلاتِ.

And these wheels were called Gelgel in my hearing.

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

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

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

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

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 وَفَارَقَ مَجْدُ الرَّبِّ عَتَبَةَ الْهَيْكَلِ وَخَيَّمَ فَوْقَ الْكَرُوبِيمِ.

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

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

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

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

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 [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.
