< 以西結書 10 >
1 我觀看,見基路伯頭上的穹蒼之中,顯出藍寶石的形狀,彷彿寶座的形像。
Then I looked, and saw, 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 主對那穿細麻衣的人說:「你進去,在旋轉的輪內基路伯以下,從基路伯中間將火炭取滿兩手,撒在城上。」 我就見他進去。
He spoke to the man clothed in linen, and said, "Go in between the whirling wheels, even under the cherubim, 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 那人進去的時候,基路伯站在殿的右邊,雲彩充滿了內院。
Now the cherubim stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.
4 耶和華的榮耀從基路伯那裏上升,停在門檻以上;殿內滿了雲彩,院宇也被耶和華榮耀的光輝充滿。
The glory of the LORD 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 基路伯翅膀的響聲聽到外院,好像全能上帝說話的聲音。
The sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of El Shaddai when he speaks.
6 他吩咐那穿細麻衣的人說:「要從旋轉的輪內基路伯中間取火。」那人就進去站在一個輪子旁邊。
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 有一個基路伯從基路伯中伸手到基路伯中間的火那裏,取些放在那穿細麻衣的人兩手中,那人就拿出去了。
The cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubim to the fire that was between the cherubim, and took of it, and put it into the hands of him who was clothed in linen, who took it and went out.
There appeared in the cherubim the form of a man's hand under their wings.
9 我又觀看,見基路伯旁邊有四個輪子。這基路伯旁有一個輪子,那基路伯旁有一個輪子,每基路伯都是如此;輪子的顏色彷彿水蒼玉。
I looked, and look, four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub, and the appearance of the wheels was like a beryl stone.
10 至於四輪的形狀,都是一個樣式,彷彿輪中套輪。
As for their appearance, the four of them had the same likeness, like a wheel within a wheel.
11 輪行走的時候,向四方都能直行,並不掉轉。頭向何方,他們也隨向何方,行走的時候並不掉轉。
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 他們全身,連背帶手和翅膀,並輪周圍都滿了眼睛。這四個基路伯的輪子都是如此。
Their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes all around, even the wheels that the four of them had.
As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, "the whirling wheels."
14 基路伯各有四臉:第一是基路伯的臉,第二是人的臉,第三是獅子的臉,第四是鷹的臉。
Every one had four faces: the first face was the face of the cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third face the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
15 基路伯升上去了;這是我在迦巴魯河邊所見的活物。
The cherubim mounted up: this is the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar.
16 基路伯行走,輪也在旁邊行走。基路伯展開翅膀,離地上升,輪也不轉離他們旁邊。
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 那些站住,這些也站住;那些上升,這些也一同上升,因為活物的靈在輪中。
When they stood, these stood; and when they mounted up, these mounted up with them: for the spirit of the living creature was in them.
18 耶和華的榮耀從殿的門檻那裏出去,停在基路伯以上。
The glory of the LORD went forth from over the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim.
19 基路伯出去的時候,就展開翅膀,在我眼前離地上升。輪也在他們的旁邊,都停在耶和華殿的東門口。在他們以上有以色列上帝的榮耀。
The cherubim lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight when they went forth, and the wheels beside them: and 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 這是我在迦巴魯河邊所見、以色列上帝榮耀以下的活物,我就知道他們是基路伯。
These were the living creatures that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and I knew that they were cherubim.
21 各有四個臉面,四個翅膀,翅膀以下有人手的樣式。
Every one had four faces, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.
22 至於他們臉的模樣,並身體的形像,是我從前在迦巴魯河邊所看見的。他們俱各直往前行。
As for the likeness of their faces, they were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves; they went every one straight forward.
