Ezekiel 10

1 Og jeg saa, og se paa den udstrakte Befæstning, som var over Kerubernes Hoved, var den som en Safirsten, som Skikkelsen af en Trone at se til; han viste sig over dem.

And I looked and saw above the expanse, above the heads of the cherubim, the likeness of a throne of sapphire.

2 Og han talte til den Mand, som var klædt i Linklæderne, og sagde: Gak ind imellem Hjulene, hen under Keruben, og tag dine Næver fulde af Gløder fra den Ild, som er imellem Keruberne, og strø dem over Staden; og han gik derind for mine Øjne.

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 Men Keruberne stode ved Husets højre Side, da Manden gik ind, og Skyen fyldte den inderste Forgaard.

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 Og Herrens Herlighed harvede sig op fra Keruben hen til Husets Dørtærskel; og Huset fyldtes af Skyen, og Forgaarden blev fuld af Herrens Herligheds Glans.

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 Og Lyden af Kerubernes Vinger hørtes ud til den yderste Forgaard ligesom den almægtige Guds Røst, naar han taler.

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 Og det skete, der han befalede Manden, som var klædt i Linklæderne, og sagde: Tag Ild fra den, som er imellem Hjulene, imellem Keruberne, da gik denne ind og stod ved Siden af Hjulet.

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 Og Keruben udrakte sin Haand fra Keruberne til Ilden, som var imellem Keruberne, og han tog deraf og lagde i Næverne paa ham, der var klædt i Linklæderne, og denne, tog derimod og gik ud.

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 Og der saas paa Keruberne Skikkelsen af en Menneskehaand under deres Vinger.

(The cherubim appeared to have the form of human hands under their wings.)

9 Og jeg saa, og se, der var fire Hjul ved Siden af Keruberne, eet Hjul ved den ene Kerub og eet Hjul ved den anden Kerub; og Hjulenes Udseende var som Synet af Krysolit.

Then I looked and saw four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub. And the wheels gleamed like a beryl stone.

10 Og af Udseende havde de alle fire een Skikkelse, det var, som om eet Hjul var midt i det andet.

As for their appearance, all four had the same form, like a wheel within a wheel.

11 Naar de gik, gik de imod deres fire Sider, de vendte sig ikke, naar de gik; men til det Sted, hvor det forreste vendte, derhen fulgte de efter, de vendte sig ikke, naar de gik.

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 Og hele deres Legeme og deres Rygge og deres Hænder og deres Vinger og Hjulene vare fulde af Øjne trindt omkring, paa alle de fire Hjul.

Their entire bodies, including their backs, hands, and wings, were full of eyes all around, as were their four wheels.

13 Til Hjulene, til dem blev der raabt for mine Øren: Galgal!

I heard the wheels being called “the whirling wheels.”

14 Og enhver havde fire Ansigter; Ansigtet paa den første var Kerubens Ansigt, og Ansigtet paa den anden var et Menneskes Ansigt, og det tredje var en Løves Ansigt og det fjerde en Ørns Ansigt.

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 Og Keruberne hævede sig i Vejret; dette var det levende Væsen, som jeg havde set ved Floden Kebar.

Then the cherubim rose upward. These were the living creatures I had seen by the River Kebar.

16 Og naar Keruberne gik, gik Hjulene hos dem; og naar Keruberne opløftede deres Vinger for at hæve sig fra Jorden, vendte Hjulene sig heller ikke bort fra deres Side.

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 Naar hine stode, stode disse, og naar hine hævede sig, hævede disse sig med dem; thi Livets Aand var i dem.

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 Og Herrens Herlighed gik ud fra Dørtærskelen paa Huset og stillede sig over Keruberne.

Then the glory of the LORD moved away from the threshold of the temple and stood above the cherubim.

19 Da opløftede Keruberne deres Vinger og hævede sig op fra Jorden for mine Øjne, der de gik ud, og Hjulene ved Siden af dem; og de bleve staaende ved Indgangen til den østre Port paa Herrens Hus, og Israels Guds Herlighed var oven over dem.

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 Dette var det levende Væsen, som jeg havde set under Israels Gud ved Floden Kebar, og jeg kendte, at det var Keruberne.

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 Enhver havde fire Ansigter og enhver fire Vinger, og under deres Vinger var der en Skikkelse af Menneskehænder.

Each had four faces and four wings, with what looked like human hands under their wings.

22 Og deres Ansigter vare at se til som de Ansigter, hvilke jeg havde set ved Floden Kebar, deres Skikkelser og dem selv; enhver gik lige frem for sig.

Their faces looked like the faces I had seen by the River Kebar. Each creature went straight ahead.
