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.
I looked up and saw what looked like a throne made of lapis lazuli beyond the expanse, way above the heads of the cherubim.
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.
Speaking from there the Lord told the man in linen, “Go in between the wheels underneath the cherubim. Collect as many burning coals as you can. Carry them from among the cherubim and scatter them all over the city.” I watched as he went in.
3 Keruberne stod sønden for Templet, da Manden gik derhen, og Skyen fyldte den indre Forgård.
The cherubim were standing on the south side of the Temple when the man went in. 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.
Then the Lord's glory rose up from above the cherubim and moved to the entrance of the Temple. The cloud filled the Temple, and the brightness of the Lord's glory filled the courtyard.
5 Og Suset af Kerubernes Vinger hørtes helt ud i den ydre Forgård som Gud den Almægtiges Røst, når han taler.
The noise made by the cherubim's wings could even be heard in the outer courtyard, and sounded like the voice of God Almighty.
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
When the Lord ordered the man in linen, “Go and get some fire from in between the wheels, from among the cherubim,” the man went in and stood beside one of the wheels.
7 og rakte Hånden ind i Ilden, som brændte mellem Keruberne, og kom ud med noget deraf.
Then one of the cherubim reached out and took some of the fire among them. He handed it to the man in linen, who took it and left.
8 Under Kerubernes Vinger sås noget, der lignede en Menneskehånd;
(All the cherubim had what looked like 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.
I saw four wheels next to the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub. The wheels shone like topaz.
10 De så alle fire ens ud, og det var, som om der i hvert Hjul var et andet Hjul,
All four wheels looked the same, and had a wheel within a wheel, set crossways.
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.
The cherubim could go in any direction they faced, moving without turning.
12 Hele deres Legeme, Ryg, Hænder og Vinger og ligeledes Hjulene var fulde af Øjne rundt om; således var det med alle fire Hjul.
The whole of their bodies, including their backs, hands, and wings, were covered in eyes, as were all four wheels.
13 Og jeg hørte, at Hjulene kaldtes Galgal.
I heard the wheels being referred to as “the chariot 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 them had four faces: the first face was a cherub's face, the second a man's face, the third a lion's face, and the fourth an eagle's face.
15 Og Keruberne hævede sig i Vejret. Det var det samme levende Væsen, jeg så ved Floden Kebar.
Then the cherubim rose up in the air. They were the beings I'd seen beside the River Kebar.
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;
When the cherubim moved, the wheels moved alongside them. Even when they opened their wings to take off, the wheels stayed beside them.
17 når de standsede, standsede også de; og når de hævede sig, hævede de sig med, thi Væsenets Ånd var i dem.
When the cherubim stopped, the wheels stopped too. When they took off, the wheels did too, because the spirit of the living creatures was in them.
18 Så forlod HERRENs Herlighed Templets Tærskel og stillede sig over Keruberne.
Then the glory of the Lord left the entrance to the Temple and stopped above the cherubim.
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.
As I watched, the cherubim lifted their wings and took off, with the wheels alongside them. They stopped at the entrance of the east gate of the Lord's Temple, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.
20 Det var det samme levende Væsen, jeg så under Israels Gud ved Floden Kebar; og jeg skønnede, at det var Keruber.
These were the beings I had seen beneath the God of Israel by the River Kebar. 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 and had what looked like human hands under their wings.
22 Og deres Ansigter var ligesom de Ansigter, jeg så ved Floden Kebar. De gik alle lige ud.
Their faces looked like the faces I had seen by the River Kebar. Each of them moved directly ahead.
