Ezekiel 10

1 Og jeg skuede og se, over Hvælvingen over Kerubernes Hoveder var der noget som Safir; noget ligesom en Trone 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 Saa sagde han til Manden i det linnede Klædebon: »Gaa ind mellem Hjulene under Keruberne og tag Hænderne fulde af glødende Kul fra Rummet mellem Keruberne og strø det ud over Byen!« Og jeg saa ham gaa derhen.

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 Keruberne stod sønden for Templet, da Manden gik derhen, og Skyen fyldte den indre 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 hævede sig fra Keruberne og flyttede sig hen til Templets Tærskel; da fyldtes Templet af Skyen, og Forgaarden fyldtes 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 Suset af Kerubernes Vinger hørtes helt ud i den ydre Forgaard som Gud den Almægtiges 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 Saa bød han Manden i det linnede Klædebon: »Tag Ild fra Rummet mellem Hjulene, inde mellem Keruberne!« Og Manden stillede sig hen ved Siden af det ene Hjul

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 rakte Haanden ind i Ilden, som brændte mellem Keruberne, og kom ud med noget deraf.

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 Under Kerubernes Vinger saas noget, der lignede en Menneskehaand;

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

9 og jeg skuede, og se, der var fire Hjul ved Siden af Keruberne, eet ved hver Kerub, og Hjulene var som funklende Krysolit at se til.

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

10 De saa alle fire ens ud, og det var, som om der i hvert Hjul var et andet Hjul,

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

11 De kunde gaa til alle fire Sider de vendte sig ikke, naar de gik. Thi de gik i den Retning, den forreste vendte, og 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 Hele deres Legeme, Ryg, Hænder og Vinger og ligeledes Hjulene var fulde af Øjne rundt om; saaledes var det med alle fire Hjul.

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

13 Og jeg hørte, at Hjulene kaldtes Galgal.

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

14 Hver af dem havde fire Ansigter; det ene var et Kerubansigt, det andet et Menneskeansigt, det tredje et Løveansigt og det fjerde et Ørneansigt.

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. Det var det samme levende Væsen, jeg saa ved Floden Kebar.

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

16 Naar Keruberne gik, gik ogsaa Hjulene ved Siden af, og naar Keruberne løftede Vingerne for at hæve sig fra Jorden, vendte Hjulene sig ikke fra dem;

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 de standsede, standsede ogsaa de; og naar de hævede sig, hævede de sig med, thi Væsenets 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 Saa forlod HERRENS Herlighed Templets Tærskel 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 Og jeg saa, hvorledes Keruberne løftede Vingerne og hævede sig fra Jorden, da de gik, og Hjulene med dem; og de standsede ved Indgangen til HERRENS Hus's Østport, 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 Det var det samme levende Væsen, jeg saa under Israels Gud ved Floden Kebar; og jeg skønnede, at det var Keruber.

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 Hver af dem havde fire Ansigter og fire Vinger og noget ligesom Menneskehænder under Vingerne.

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

22 Og deres Ansigter var ligesom de Ansigter, jeg saa ved Floden Kebar. De gik alle lige ud.

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