Ezekiel 10
1 Ka sawt vaengah cherubim lu dongkah bangyai soah ngolkhoel phek te a mueimae ah minhum lung bangla amih soah lawt a tueng pah.
I looked up and saw what looked like a throne made of lapis lazuli beyond the expanse, way above the heads of the cherubim.
2 Te phoeiah takhlawk pueinak aka bai hlang te a voek tih, “Cherubim kungdak kah humhae laklo ah kun laeh. Hmai dongkah hmai-alh te na kutnarhum dongah poem lamtah cherubim laklo lamloh khopuei soah haeh,” a ti nah phoeiah ka mikhmuh ah kun.
Speaking from there the Lord told the man in linen, “Go in between the wheels underneath the cherubim. Collect as many burning coals as you can. Carry them from among the cherubim and scatter them all over the city.” I watched as he went in.
3 Te vaengah cherubim rhoek te im kah bantang ah pai uh. Hlang a kun vaengah vongup khui ah cingmai bae.
The cherubim were standing on the south side of the Temple when the man went in. A cloud filled the inner court.
4 Te phoeiah BOEIPA thangpomnah te cherubim so lamloh im thohkong duela pomsang hang. Te vaengah im te cingmai baetawt tih vongup ah BOEIPA kah thangpomnah a aa te bae.
Then the Lord's glory rose up from above the cherubim and moved to the entrance of the Temple. The cloud filled the Temple, and the brightness of the Lord's glory filled the courtyard.
5 Cherubim kah phae ol te vongup voel duela Tlungthang Pathen a cal vaengkah ol bangla ka yaak.
The noise made by the cherubim's wings could even be heard in the outer courtyard, and sounded like the voice of God Almighty.
6 Te phoeiah takhlawk pueinak hlang te a uen tih, “Humhae laklo lamkah hmai te cherubim laklo lamloh lo lah,” a ti nah. Te dongah kun tih lengkho taengah pai.
When the Lord ordered the man in linen, “Go and get some fire from in between the wheels, from among the cherubim,” the man went in and stood beside one of the wheels.
7 Te vaengah cherub loh cherubim lakli lamloh a kut a thueng tih cherubim laklo kah hmai te a loh. Te phoeiah a khuen tih takhlawk pueinak kutnarhum ah a paek. Te dongah a khuen tih cet.
Then one of the cherubim reached out and took some of the fire among them. He handed it to the man in linen, who took it and left.
8 Amih cherubim kah a phae hmuiah hlang kut bangla a muei tueng.
(All the cherubim had what looked like human hands under their wings.)
9 Te phoeiah cherubim kaepah lengkho pali lawt ka hmuh. Cherub pakhat taengah langkho pakhat, cherub pakhat taengah lengkho pakhat tlip om. Lengkho a mueimae tah timsuih lung kah a pang bangla om.
I saw four wheels next to the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub. The wheels shone like topaz.
10 Amih pali te a mueimae khaw pakhat phek la om. Lengkho kah a laklung ah lengkho bangla om bal.
All four wheels looked the same, and had a wheel within a wheel, set crossways.
11 A caeh uh vaengah a vae pali neh cet uh tih mael uh thai pawh. A caeh ham hmuen la a lu a hooi uh tih a hnuk ah a caeh uh dongah amamih a caeh bangla hoilae tloel.
The cherubim could go in any direction they faced, moving without turning.
12 A pum tom neh a uen khaw khaw, a kut neh a phae neh a lengkho khaw, a lengkho pali kah kaepvai a mik hoeng la om.
The whole of their bodies, including their backs, hands, and wings, were covered in eyes, as were all four wheels.
13 Amih kah lengkho te kai hna ah tah, “Humhae ni,” a ti.
I heard the wheels being referred to as “the chariot wheels.”
14 Pakhat rhip te maelhmai pali om tih pakhat kah maelhmai tah cherub maelhmai la, a pabae kah maelhmai tah hlang maelhmai la, a pathum te sathueng maelhmai neh a pali te tahatha maelhmai la om.
Each of them had four faces: the first face was a cherub's face, the second a man's face, the third a lion's face, and the fourth an eagle's face.
15 Te phoeiah cherubim rhoek te pomsang uh hang. He mulhing ni Kebar tuiva ah ka hmuh.
Then the cherubim rose up in the air. They were the beings I'd seen beside the River Kebar.
16 Cherubim rhoek a caeh vaengah a taengkah lengkho rhoek khaw cet van. Cherubim rhoek te a phae phuel uh tih diklai dong lamloh a pomsang vaengah a taengkah a lengkho te khaw dul pawh.
When the cherubim moved, the wheels moved alongside them. Even when they opened their wings to take off, the wheels stayed beside them.
17 Amih khuikah mulhing mueihla te amamih neh a om dongah tih a pai vaengah tangrhoeng pai uh tih a phoh uh vaengah tangrhoeng phok uh.
When the cherubim stopped, the wheels stopped too. When they took off, the wheels did too, because the spirit of the living creatures was in them.
18 Te vaengah BOEIPA kah thangpomnah tah im thohkong so lamloh nong tih cherubim soah pai.
Then the glory of the Lord left the entrance to the Temple and stopped above the cherubim.
19 Te phoeiah cherubim rhoek loh a phae a phuel tih ka mikhmuh kah diklai lamloh pomsang hang. Amih bangla a voeivang kah lengkho khaw cet tih yan BOEIPA im vongka thohka pai. Te vaengah Israel Pathen kah thangpomnah he amih sokah a so duela om.
As I watched, the cherubim lifted their wings and took off, with the wheels alongside them. They stopped at the entrance of the east gate of the Lord's Temple, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.
20 Kebar tuiva kah Israel Pathen hmui ah mulhing ka hmuh he cherubim la ka ming.
These were the beings I had seen beneath the God of Israel by the River Kebar. I knew that they were cherubim.
21 Pakhat loh maelhmai pali, pali neh pakhat rhip phae pali a khueh tih a phae hmui te hlang kut phek la om.
Each had four faces and four wings and had what looked like human hands under their wings.
22 Kebar tuiva ah a maelhmai ka hmuh te amih maelhmai phek ni. A mueimae ah khaw amih ni. Tekah hlang te a maelhmai neh a dannah la cet.
Their faces looked like the faces I had seen by the River Kebar. Each of them moved directly ahead.
