Ezekiel 10
1 Ka khet naah, Cherubimnawk ih lu ranuiah Sapphire thlung baktiah kamdueng, Angraeng tangkhang to ka hnuk.
And I looked and saw above the expanse, above the heads of the cherubim, the likeness of a throne of sapphire.
2 Anih mah puu ngan khukbuen hoiah kamthoep kami khaeah, Cherubim tlim ah kaom, rel khoknawk salakah caeh ah, Cherubimnawk salak ih thlung hmai kamngaeh to na ban kakoi ah phrom ah loe, vangpui nuiah haeh ah, tiah a naa. Thuih ih lok baktiah kacaeh anih to ka hnuk.
And the LORD said to the man clothed in linen, “Go inside the wheelwork beneath the cherubim. Fill your hands with burning coals from among the cherubim and scatter them over the city.” And as I watched, he went in.
3 To kami a thungah akun naah, Cherubimnawk loe impui hma bantang bangah angdoet o; to naah imthung longhma to tamai mah ayaw khoep.
Now when the man went in, the cherubim were standing on the south side of the temple, and a cloud filled the inner court.
4 Angraeng lensawkhaih loe Cherub khae hoiah angthawk tahang moe, im pui hma thok ranuiah angdoet; tamai mah im pui to ayaw khoep, longhma loe Angraeng lensawkhaih hoiah koi.
Then the glory of the LORD rose from above the cherubim and stood over the threshold of the temple. The temple was filled with the cloud, and the court was filled with the brightness of the glory of the LORD.
5 Cherubimnawk ih pakhraeh tuenh loe longhma hoiah angthaih, thacak Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktiah oh.
The sound of the wings of the cherubim could be heard as far as the outer court, like the voice of God Almighty when He speaks.
6 Angraeng mah puu ngan khukbuen hoiah amthoep kami khaeah, Cherubimnawk salakah kaom, rel khoknawk salak ih hmai to la ah, tiah a naa; to naah to kami to caeh moe, rel khoknawk taengah angdoet.
When the LORD commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, “Take fire from within the wheelwork, from among the cherubim,” the man went in and stood beside a wheel.
7 Cherubim maeto loe ban payangh moe, Cerubimnawk salak ih hmai to lak pacoengah, puu ngan khukbuen hoiah amthoep kami ih ban ah koeng pae; to kami mah hmai to lak moe, caeh.
Then one of the cherubim reached out his hand and took some of the fire that was among them. And he put it into the hands of the man clothed in linen, who received it and went out.
8 Cherubimnawk ih pakhraeh tlim ah kamtueng kami ban to ka hnuk.
(The cherubim appeared to have the form of human hands under their wings.)
9 Ka khet naah, Cherubimnawk taengah rel khok palito ka hnuk, Cherubim maeto mah rel khok maeto tawnh o boih, to rel khoknawk ih rong loe beryl thlung baktiah ampha.
Then I looked and saw four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub. And the wheels gleamed like a beryl stone.
10 Rel khok palito ih krang amtuenghaih dan loe anghmong boih, rel khok maeto a thungah akhok maeto oh let.
As for their appearance, all four had the same form, like a wheel within a wheel.
11 Nihcae caeh o naah, rel khok anghaehaih hmabang ah kangvan ah caeh o boih; a caeh o naah ahnuk ahma angqoi o ai, mikhmai anghaehaih bangah ni a caeh o, a caeh o naah naa bangah doeh angqoi o ai.
When they moved, they would go in any of the four directions, without turning as they moved. For wherever the head faced, the cherubim would go in that direction, without turning as they moved.
12 Rel khok palito hoi nihcae ih takpum boih, ahnuk bang, bannawk, pakhraehnawk hoi rel khoknawk taeng boih ah mik to oh.
Their entire bodies, including their backs, hands, and wings, were full of eyes all around, as were their four wheels.
13 To ih rel khoknawk hanah, Aw Rel khok, tiah kawk o ih lok to ka thaih.
I heard the wheels being called “the whirling wheels.”
14 Cherubim maeto mah mikhmai palito tawnh o boih; hmaloe koek loe cherub mikhmai baktiah oh, hnetto haih loe kami mikhmai baktiah oh, thumto haih loe kaipui mikhmai baktiah oh, palito haih loe tahmu mikhmai baktiah oh.
Each of the cherubim had four faces: the first face was that of a cherub, the second that of a man, the third that of a lion, and the fourth that of an eagle.
15 Cherubimnawk loe ranui bangah angtoeng o tahang. Khebar vapui taengah hae baktih hinghaih katawn sak ih hmuennawk to ka hnuk.
Then the cherubim rose upward. These were the living creatures I had seen by the River Kebar.
16 Cherubimnawk caeh o naah, ataeng ih rel khoknawk doeh angthuih o toeng; Cherubimnawk long hoi ranui bang angtoeng o tahang hanah pakhraeh a boh o naah, rel khoknawk doeh nihcae khae hoi amkhraeng o ving ai.
When the cherubim moved, the wheels moved beside them, and even when they spread their wings to rise from the ground, the wheels did not veer away from their side.
17 Cherubimnawk anghak o naah, rel khoknawk doeh anghak o toeng; cherubimnawk angtoeng o tahang naah, sak ih hinghaih katawn hmuennawk ih pakhra nihcae thungah oh pongah, rel khoknawk doeh angtoeng o tahang toeng.
When the cherubim stood still, the wheels also stood still, and when they ascended, the wheels ascended with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
18 To naah Angraeng lensawkhaih mah im pui hma to tacawt taak moe, cherubimnawk nuiah angdoet.
Then the glory of the LORD moved away from the threshold of the temple and stood above the cherubim.
19 Ka hma roe ah, cherubimnawk mah pakhraeh to boh o moe, long hoiah angtoengh o tahang; a caeh o naah rel khoknawk doeh nihcae taengah caeh o toeng; kami boih Angraeng im pui ni angzae bang ih khongkha thok taengah angdoet o, nihcae nuiah Israel Sithaw lensawkhaih to oh.
As I watched, the cherubim lifted their wings and rose up from the ground, with the wheels beside them as they went. And they stopped at the entrance of the east gate of the house of the LORD, with the glory of the God of Israel above them.
20 Hae baktih hmuennawk loe Khebar vapui taengah Israel Sithaw tlim ah ka hnuk ih sak ih hinghaih katawn hmuennawk ah oh o, nihcae loe cherubim ni, tiah ka panoek.
These were the living creatures I had seen beneath the God of Israel by the River Kebar, and I knew that they were cherubim.
21 Nihcae loe mikhmai palito hoi pakhraeh palito tawnh o boih; nihcae pakhraeh tlim ih kamtueng hmuen loe kami maeto ih ban baktiah oh.
Each had four faces and four wings, with what looked like human hands under their wings.
22 Nihcae mikhmai loe Khebar vapui taengah ka hnuk ih mikhmainawk hoi anghmong phaek, nihcae amtuenghaih dan hoiah doeh anghmong; nihcae loe katoengah hmabang ah caeh o poe.
Their faces looked like the faces I had seen by the River Kebar. Each creature went straight ahead.
