Ezekiel 10

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

Og jeg skuede og se, over Hvælvingen over Kerubernes Hoveder var der noget som Safir; noget ligesom en Trone viste sig over dem.

2 And he spoke to the man clothed in linen, and said, Go in between the whirling wheels, even under the cherub, and fill both thy hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight.

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.

3 Now the cherubim stood on the right side of the house when the man went in, and the cloud filled the inner court.

Keruberne stod sønden for Templet, da Manden gik derhen, og Skyen fyldte den indre Forgaard.

4 And the glory of Jehovah mounted up from the cherub, over the threshold of the house. And the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of Jehovah's glory.

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.

5 And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.

Og Suset af Kerubernes Vinger hørtes helt ud i den ydre Forgaard som Gud den Almægtiges Røst, naar han taler.

6 And it came to pass, when he commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim, that he went in, and stood beside a wheel.

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

7 And the cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubim to the fire that was between the cherubim, and took, and put it into the hands of him who was clothed in linen, who took it and went out.

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

8 And there appeared in the cherubim the form of a man's hand under their wings.

Under Kerubernes Vinger saas noget, der lignede en Menneskehaand;

9 And I looked, and, behold, four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside one cherub, and another wheel beside another cherub. And the appearance of the wheels was like a beryl stone.

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.

10 And as for their appearance, those four had one likeness, as if a wheel have been within a wheel.

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

11 When they went, they went in their four directions. They did not turn as they went, but to the place where the head looked they followed it. They did not turn as they went.

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.

12 And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about, even the wheels that those four had.

Hele deres Legeme, Ryg, Hænder og Vinger og ligeledes Hjulene var fulde af Øjne rundt om; saaledes var det med alle fire Hjul.

13 As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, O wheel.

Og jeg hørte, at Hjulene kaldtes Galgal.

14 And each one had four faces. The first face was the face of the cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third face the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.

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

15 And the cherubim mounted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar.

Og Keruberne hævede sig i Vejret. Det var det samme levende Væsen, jeg saa ved Floden Kebar.

16 And when the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them. And when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels also did not turn from beside them.

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;

17 When they stood, these stood, and when they mounted up, these mounted up with them, for the spirit of the living creature was in them.

naar de standsede, standsede ogsaa de; og naar de hævede sig, hævede de sig med, thi Væsenets Aand var i dem.

18 And the glory of Jehovah went forth from over the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim.

Saa forlod HERRENS Herlighed Templets Tærskel og stillede sig over Keruberne.

19 And the cherubim lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight when they went forth, and the wheels beside them. And they stood at the door of the east gate of Jehovah's house, and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.

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.

20 This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar, and I knew that they were cherubim.

Det var det samme levende Væsen, jeg saa under Israels Gud ved Floden Kebar; og jeg skønnede, at det var Keruber.

21 Each one had four faces, and each one four wings. And the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.

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

22 And as for the likeness of their faces, they were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves. They went each one straight forward.

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