Ezekiel 10
1 Then looking, I saw that on the arch which was over the head of the winged ones there was seen over them what seemed like a sapphire stone, having the form of a king's seat.
Lalu aku memandang ke kubah yang ada di atas kepala kerub-kerub itu, dan kulihat sesuatu yang seperti takhta dari batu nilam.
2 And he said to the man clothed in linen, Go in between the wheels, under the winged ones, and get your two hands full of burning coals from between the winged ones and send them in a shower over the town. And he went in before my eyes.
Kemudian Allah berkata kepada orang yang berpakaian linen itu, "Masuklah di antara roda-roda yang ada di bawah kerub-kerub itu, dan ambillah segenggam bara api. Lalu hamburkanlah bara itu ke atas kota." Ia menurut, dan aku memperhatikannya.
3 Now the winged ones were stationed on the right side of the house when the man went in; and the inner square was full of the cloud.
Ketika ia masuk, kerub-kerub itu sedang berdiri di sebelah selatan Rumah TUHAN. Segumpal awan memenuhi pelataran dalam dan seluruh Rumah TUHAN.
4 And the glory of the Lord went up from the winged ones and came to rest over the doorstep of the house; and the house was full of the cloud and the open square was full of the shining of the Lord's glory.
Cahaya kemilau yang menandakan kehadiran TUHAN memancar dari kerub-kerub itu dan pindah ke pintu masuk Rumah TUHAN, sehingga pelatarannya menjadi terang-benderang.
5 And the sound of the wings of the winged ones was clear even in the outer square, like the voice of the Ruler of all.
Bunyi kepakan sayap kerub-kerub itu terdengar sampai ke pelataran luar, seperti suara Allah Yang Mahakuasa.
6 And when he gave orders to the man clothed in linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the winged ones, then he went in and took his place at the side of a wheel.
Setelah TUHAN menyuruh orang yang berpakaian linen itu mengambil segenggam bara api dari antara roda-roda di bawah kerub-kerub itu, orang itu masuk dan berdiri di samping salah satu dari roda-roda itu.
7 And stretching out his hand to the fire which was between the winged ones, he took some of it and went out.
Lalu salah satu dari kerub itu memasukkan tangannya ke dalam api yang ada di tengah-tengah mereka, memungut beberapa potong bara, dan memberikannya kepada orang yang berpakaian linen itu. Orang itu menerimanya lalu pergi.
8 And I saw the form of a man's hands among the winged ones under their wings.
Aku melihat bahwa di bawah sayap setiap kerub itu ada sesuatu yang berbentuk tangan manusia.
9 And looking, I saw four wheels by the side of the winged ones, one wheel by the side of a winged one and another wheel by the side of another: and the wheels were like the colour of a beryl stone to the eye.
Aku melihat juga bahwa kerub-kerub itu masing-masing mempunyai sebuah roda di sampingnya. Keempat roda itu serupa, dan berkilauan seperti permata indah. Masing-masing mempunyai satu roda lainnya yang melintang di tengah-tengahnya.
10 In form the four of them were all the same, they seemed like a wheel inside a wheel.
11 When they were moving, they went on their four sides without turning; they went after the head in the direction in which it was looking; they went without turning.
Dengan demikian kerub-kerub itu dapat menuju ke empat jurusan. Mereka dapat pergi ke mana saja mereka suka, tanpa memutar tubuhnya.
12 And the edges of the four wheels were full of eyes round about.
Seluruh tubuh mereka, punggungnya, tangannya, sayapnya dan roda-roda pun penuh dengan mata.
13 As for the wheels, they were named in my hearing, the circling wheels.
Aku dengar bahwa roda-roda itu disebut "puting beliung".
14 And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a winged one, and the second was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
Setiap kerub itu mempunyai empat wajah yang berlainan. Wajah yang pertama ialah wajah banteng, yang kedua wajah manusia, yang ketiga wajah singa, dan yang keempat wajah rajawali.
15 And the winged ones went up on high: this is the living being which I saw by the river Chebar.
Kerub-kerub itulah yang dahulu kulihat di tepi Sungai Kebar. Setiap kali kerub-kerub itu bergerak atau mengembangkan sayapnya, naik ke udara dan terbang maju atau berhenti, roda-roda itu selalu ikut, karena dikuasai oleh kerub-kerub itu.
16 And when the winged ones went, the wheels went by their side: and when their wings were lifted to take them up from the earth, the wheels were not turned from their side.
17 When they were at rest in their place, these were at rest; when they were lifted up, these went up with them: for the spirit of life was in them.
18 Then the glory of the Lord went out from the doorstep of the house, and came to rest over the winged ones.
Lalu cahaya kemilau yang menandakan kehadiran TUHAN meninggalkan pintu masuk Rumah TUHAN dan pindah ke atas kerub-kerub itu.
19 And the winged ones, lifting up their wings, went up from the earth before my eyes, with the wheels by their side: and they came to rest at the east doorway of the Lord's house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them on high.
Aku melihat kerub-kerub itu mengembangkan sayapnya dan terbang meninggalkan tanah lalu pergi, dan roda-rodanya ikut. Lalu mereka berhenti di dekat pintu gerbang Rumah TUHAN yang di sebelah timur, sedang cahaya kemilau tetap di atas mereka.
20 This is the living being which I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and it was clear to me that they were the winged ones.
Aku teringat bahwa itulah kerub-kerub yang dahulu kulihat ada di bawah Allah Israel, di tepi Sungai Kebar.
21 Every one had four faces and every one had four wings; and hands like a man's hands were under their wings.
Kerub-kerub itu masing-masing mempunyai empat wajah, dua pasang sayap, dan juga sesuatu yang seperti tangan manusia di bawah sayap-sayap itu.
22 As for the form of their faces, they were the faces whose form I saw by the river Chebar; when they went, every one of them went straight forward.
Wajah mereka serupa pula dengan wajah kerub-kerub yang kulihat di tepi Sungai Kebar. Masing-masing berjalan lurus ke depan.
