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.

Then I looked, and behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubim there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.

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 he spoke to the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, [even] under the cherub, and fill thy hand with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter [them] over the city. And he entered in my sight.

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

Now the cherubim stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the 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 went up from the cherub, [and stood] over the threshhold 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 Og Lyden af Kerubernes Vinger hørtes ud til den yderste Forgaard ligesom den almægtige Guds Røst, naar han taler.

And the sound of the cherubim's wings was heard [even] to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh.

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.

And it came to pass, [that] when he had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubim; then he went in, and stood beside the wheels.

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.

And [one] 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 that was] clothed with linen: who took [it], and went out.

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

And there appeared in the cherubim the form of a man's hand 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.

And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubim, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels [was] as the color of a beryl stone.

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

And [as for] their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of 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 went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not as they went, but to the place whither the head looked, they followed it; they turned not as they went.

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.

And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, [were] full of eyes on every side, [even] the wheels that they four had.

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

As for the wheels, it was cried to them in my hearing, O wheel.

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.

And every one had four faces: the first face [was] the face of a cherub, and the second face [was] the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.

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

And the cherubim were lifted up. This [is] the living creature that I saw by the river of 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.

And when the cherubim went, the wheels went by them: and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also turned not from beside them.

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

When they stood, [these] stood; and when they were lifted up, [these] lifted up themselves [also]: for the spirit of the living creature [was] in them.

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

Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the threshhold of the house, and stood over 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.

And the cherubim lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also [were] beside them, and [every one] 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 Dette var det levende Væsen, som jeg havde set under Israels Gud ved Floden Kebar, og jeg kendte, at det var Keruberne.

This [is] the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Kebar; and I knew that they [were] the cherubim.

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

Every one had four faces each, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man [was] 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.

And the likeness of their faces [was] the same faces which I saw by the river of Kebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one straight forward.
