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 saw and behold in the firmament that was over the heads of the cherubims, there appeared over them as it were the sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
2 Så sagde han til Manden i det linnede Klædebon: "Gå ind mellem Hjulene under keruberne og tag Hænderne fulde af glødende Kul fra Rummet mellem Keruberne og strø det ud over Byen!" Og jeg så ham gå derhen.
And he spoke to the man, that was clothed with linen, and said: Go in between the wheels that are under the cherubims and fill thy hand with the coals of fire that are between the cherubims, and pour them out upon the city. And he went in, in my sight:
3 Keruberne stod sønden for Templet, da Manden gik derhen, og Skyen fyldte den indre Forgård.
And the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in, 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 Forgården fyldtes af HERRENs Herligheds Glalans.
And the glory of the Lord was lifted up from above the cherub to the threshold of the house: and the house 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 Forgård som Gud den Almægtiges Røst, når han taler.
And the sound of the wings of the cherubims was heard even to the outward court as the voice of God Almighty speaking.
6 Så 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
And when he had commanded the man that was clothed with linen, saying: Take fire from the midst of the wheels that are between the cherubims: he went in and stood beside the wheel,
7 og rakte Hånden ind i Ilden, som brændte mellem Keruberne, og kom ud med noget deraf.
And one cherub stretched out his arm from the midst of the cherubims to the fire that was between the cherubims: and he took, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linen: who took it and went forth.
8 Under Kerubernes Vinger sås noget, der lignede en Menneskehånd;
And there appeared in the cherubims the likeness of a man’s hand 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.
And I saw, and behold there were four wheels by the cherubims: one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was to the sight like the chrysolite stone:
10 De så alle fire ens ud, og det var, som om der i hvert Hjul var et andet Hjul,
And as to their appearance, all four were alike: as if a wheel were in the midst of a wheel.
11 De kunde gå til alle fire Sider de vendte sig ikke, når de gik. Thi de gik i den Retning, den forreste vendte, og de vendte sig ikke, når de gik.
And when they went, they went by four ways: and they turned not when they went: but to the place whither they first turned, the rest also followed, and did not turn back.
12 Hele deres Legeme, Ryg, Hænder og Vinger og ligeledes Hjulene var fulde af Øjne rundt om; således var det med alle fire Hjul.
And their whole body, and their necks, and their hands, and their wings, and the circles were full of eyes, round about the four wheels.
13 Og jeg hørte, at Hjulene kaldtes Galgal.
And these wheels he called voluble, in my hearing.
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.
And every one had four faces: one face was the face of a cherub, and the second face, the face of a man: and in the third was the face of a lion: and in the fourth the face of an eagle.
15 Og Keruberne hævede sig i Vejret. Det var det samme levende Væsen, jeg så ved Floden Kebar.
And the cherubims were lifted up: this is the living creature that I had seen by the river Chobar.
16 Når Keruberne gik, gik også Hjulene ved Siden af, og når Keruberne løftede Vingerne for at hæve sig fra Jorden, vendte Hjulene sig ikke fra dem;
And when the cherubims went, the wheels also went by them: and when the cherubims lifted up their wings, to mount up from the earth, the wheels stayed not behind, but were by them.
17 når de standsede, standsede også de; og når de hævede sig, hævede de sig med, thi Væsenets Ånd var i dem.
When they stood, these stood: and when they were lifted up, these were lifted up: for the spirit of life was in them.
18 Så forlod HERRENs Herlighed Templets Tærskel og stillede sig over Keruberne.
And the glory of the Lord went forth from the threshold of the temple: and stood over the cherubims.
19 Og jeg så, hvorledes Keruberne løftede Vingerne og hævede sig fra Jorden, da de gik, og Hjulene med dem; og de standsede ved Indgangen til HERRENs Huses Østport, og Israels Guds Herlighed var oven over dem.
And the cherubims lifting up their wings, were raised from the earth before me: and as they went out, the wheels also followed: and it stood in the entry of the east gate of the house of the Lord: and the glory of the God of Israel was over them.
20 Det var det samme levende Væsen, jeg så under Israels Gud ved Floden Kebar; og jeg skønnede, at det var Keruber.
This is the living creature, which I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chobar: and I understood that they were cherubims.
21 Hver af dem havde fire Ansigter og fire Vinger og noget ligesom Menneskehænder under Vingerne.
Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings: and the likeness of a man’s hand was under their wings.
22 Og deres Ansigter var ligesom de Ansigter, jeg så ved Floden Kebar. De gik alle lige ud.
And as to the likeness of their faces, they were the same faces which I had seen by the river Chobar, and their looks, and the impulse of every one to go straight forward.
