< 以西結書 10 >

1 我觀望時,見在革魯賓頭上,穹蒼之上,有一塊像碧玉的石頭,看似寶座,出現在他們上邊。
Then I looked, and see, in the expanse that was over the head of the cherubim there appeared above them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
2 上主問那身穿細麻衣的人說:「你到革魯賓下邊的輪子中間,由革魯賓中間取一滿掬火炭,撒在城上。」他就在我眼前進去了。
He spoke to the man clothed in linen, and said, “Go in between the whirling wheels, even under the cherub, and fill both your hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city.” He went in as I watched.
3 當那人進去時,革魯賓站在聖殿的右邊,雲彩瀰漫了內院。
Now the cherubim stood on the right side of the house when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.
4 上主的光榮,由革魯賓之間升起,停在聖殿的門限上,聖殿內充滿了雲彩,庭院中也充滿了上主光榮的燦爛。
The LORD’s glory mounted 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.
5 革魯賓展翅的響聲達於外院,像全能的天主講話的聲音。
The sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.
6 以後他吩咐那身穿細麻衣的人說:「從輪子中間,從革魯賓中間取火罷! 」那人就前去,站在輪子旁邊。
It came to pass, when he commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, “Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim,” that he went in and stood beside a wheel.
7 一位革魯賓由革魯賓中間伸手,到革魯賓中間的火上取了火,放在那身穿細麻衣的手中;那人接過去就走了。
The cherub stretched out his hand from between the cherubim to the fire that was between the cherubim, and took some of it, and put it into the hands of him who was clothed in linen, who took it and went out.
8 我看見革魯賓在翅膀下的手好像人手。
The form of a man’s hand appeared here in the cherubim under their wings.
9 我觀望時,見革魯賓旁邊有四個輪子,每一位革魯賓旁有一個輪子,輪子的外表光澤有如橄欖玉石。
I looked, and behold, there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside one cherub, and another wheel beside another cherub. The appearance of the wheels was like a beryl stone.
10 輪子的外表,四個都有同樣的形狀,好像輪子套在輪子中。
As for their appearance, the four of them had one likeness, like a wheel within a wheel.
11 轉動時可向四面旋轉,前行時不必回轉。
When they went, they went in their four directions. They didn’t turn as they went, but to the place where the head looked they followed it. They didn’t turn as they went.
12 在他們的身體、背、手、翅膀和四個輪子上,佈滿了眼睛。
Their whole body, including their backs, their hands, their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes all around, even the wheels that the four of them had.
13 我所說的輪子名叫「加耳加耳。」
As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, “the whirling wheels”.
14 每一個革魯賓有四個形狀:第一個形狀是牛形,第二個形狀是人形,第三個形狀是獅形,第四個形狀是鷹形。
Every one of them had four faces. The first face was the face of the cherub. The second face was the face of a man. The third face was the face of a lion. The fourth was the face of an eagle.
15 以後革魯賓上升去了;這是我在革巴爾河岸所見的活物。
The cherubim mounted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar.
16 革魯賓前行時,輪子也在他們旁邊轉動;革魯賓展開翅膀,由地面升起時,輪子也不離他們左右。
When the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels also didn’t turn from beside them.
17 他們站住,輪子也停下;他們升起,輪子也同他們一起升起,因為輪子內有活物的神力。
When they stood, these stood. When they mounted up, these mounted up with them; for the spirit of the living creature was in them.
18 那時,上主的光榮離開了聖殿的門限,停在革魯賓上。
The LORD’s glory went out from over the threshold of the house and stood over the cherubim.
19 革魯賓展開翅膀,在我眼前由地面升起;當他們離去時,輪子也跟著離去。他們停在上主聖殿的東門門口時,以色列的天主的光榮就停在他們上面。
The cherubim lifted up their wings and mounted up from the earth in my sight when they went out, with the wheels beside them. Then they 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.
20 這就是我靠近革巴爾河,在以色列的天主下面所見的那些活物,現在我明白他們是革魯賓。
This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and I knew that they were cherubim.
21 每個有四樣形狀,每個有四個翅膀,在他們翅膀下有相似人的手。
Every one had four faces, and every one four wings. The likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.
22 關於他們的形像,和我靠近革巴爾河所見的形像一樣,每個朝自己的前面進行。
As for the likeness of their faces, they were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves. They each went straight forward.
