< Ezekiel 10 >
1 And I saw, and behold, in the firmament that was over the heads of the cherubim, there appeared above them something like the sapphire stone, with the sight of the likeness of a throne.
Tango natalaki, namonaki na mapata, na likolo ya mito ya basheribe, eloko moko lokola libanga ya talo oyo babengaka safiri; mpe na likolo ya libanga yango, eloko moko ezalaki komonana lokola kiti ya bokonzi.
2 And he spoke to the man who was clothed with linen, and he said: “Enter, between the wheels that are under the cherubim, and fill your hand with the coals of fire that are between the cherubim, and pour them upon the city.” And he entered, in my sight.
Yawe alobaki na moto oyo alataki bilamba ya lino: « Leka kati na bapine oyo ezali na se ya basheribe, tondisa maboko na yo na makala ya moto oyo okozwa kati na basheribe mpe panza yango na engumba. » Mpe asalaki bongo na miso na ngai.
3 Now the cherubim were standing before the right side of the house, when the man entered. And a cloud filled the inner court.
Nzokande, basheribe bazalaki na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali ya Tempelo tango moto wana akotaki, mpe lipata moko etondisaki lopango na yango ya kati.
4 And the glory of the Lord was lifted up, from above the cherubim, to the threshold of the house. And the house was filled with the cloud. And the court was filled with the splendor of the glory of the Lord.
Nkembo ya Yawe elongwaki na likolo ya basheribe mpe ekendeki na ekotelo ya Tempelo. Tempelo etondaki na lipata, mpe lopango na yango ya kati etondaki na kongenga ya Nkembo ya Yawe.
5 And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even in the outer court, like the voice of Almighty God speaking.
Makelele ya mapapu ya basheribe ezalaki koyokana na mosika kino na lopango ya libanda ya Tempelo lokola mongongo ya Nzambe-Na-Nguya-Nyonso, tango alobaka.
6 And when he had instructed the man who was clothed with linen, saying, “Take fire from the midst of the wheels that are between the cherubim,” he entered and stood next to the wheel.
Tango Yawe apesaki mitindo na moto oyo alataki bilamba ya lino: « Kamata moto kati na bapine mpe kati na basheribe, » moto yango akotaki mpe atelemaki pembeni ya pine moko.
7 And one cherub extended his hand, from the midst of the cherubim, to the fire that was between the cherubim. And he took and gave it into the hands of the one who was clothed with linen, and he accepted it and went forth.
Bongo moko kati na basheribe asembolaki loboko na ye kino na moto oyo ezalaki na kati-kati na bango; akamataki ndambo ya makala ya moto kati na moto mpe atiaki yango kati na maboko ya moto oyo alataki bilamba ya lino. Moto yango azwaki yango mpe abimaki na libanda.
8 And there appeared amid the cherubim the likeness of the hand of a man, under their wings.
Na se ya mapapu ya basheribe, elilingi moko emonanaki lokola maboko ya moto.
9 And I saw, and behold, there were four wheels beside the cherubim. One wheel was next to one cherub, and another wheel was next to another cherub. And the appearance of the wheels was like the sight of the chrysolite stone.
Tango natalaki, namonaki bapine minei pene ya basheribe: pine moko pembeni ya sheribe moko; bongo bapine yango ezalaki kongenga lokola libanga ya Krizolite.
10 And in their appearance, each one of the four were similar, as if a wheel were in the midst of a wheel.
Bapine yango minei ezalaki ndenge moko, ezalaki komonana lokola moko kati na mosusu.
11 And when they went, they advanced in four parts. And they did not turn as they went. Instead, to the place to which they were inclined to go at first, the rest also followed, and they did not turn back.
Soki ezali kotambola, ekendaka na bangambo nyonso minei oyo elongi ya basheribe ekotala; mpe bapine yango ezalaki kotengama te soki basheribe bazali kotambola. Basheribe bazalaki kokende na bangambo nyonso oyo bilongi na bango ezalaki kotala, mpe bazalaki kobaluka na bangambo mosusu te.
12 And their entire body, with their necks and their hands and their wings and the circles, were full of eyes all around the four wheels.
Nzoto mobimba ya moko na moko kati na bango, ezala mokongo to maboko to mpe mapapu na bango, ezalaki etonda na miso, ndenge bapine na bango minei ezalaki.
13 And in my hearing, he called these wheels: “constantly changing.”
Nayokaki ete bazali kobenga bapine yango « bapine ya mopepe ya kayina. »
14 Now each one had four faces. One face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and in the third was the face of a lion, and in the fourth was the face of an eagle.
Sheribe moko na moko azalaki na bilongi minei: elongi ya liboso ezalaki lokola elongi ya sheribe, ya mibale lokola elongi ya moto, ya misato lokola elongi ya nkosi mpe ya minei lokola elongi ya mpongo.
15 And the cherubim were lifted up. This is the living creature, which I had seen beside the river Chebar.
Bongo basheribe bapumbwaki na likolo makasi. Ezalaki bikelamu ya bomoi oyo namonaki pembeni ya ebale Kebari.
16 And when the cherubim advanced, the wheels also went beside them. And when the cherubim lifted up their wings in order to be raised up from the earth, the wheels did not remain behind, but they also were beside them.
Soki basheribe bazali kotambola, bapine oyo ezalaki na mipanzi na bango ezalaki mpe kotambola. Soki bafungoli mapapu na bango mpo na kopumbwa longwa na se, bapine yango mpe ezalaki kokabwana na bango te, kasi nde ezalaki ya kokangana na mipanzi na bango.
17 When they were standing, these stood still. And when they were lifted up, these were lifted up. For the spirit of life was in them.
Soki basheribe batelemi, yango mpe ezalaki kotelema; soki bapumbwe, yango mpe ezalaki kopumbwa elongo na bango, pamba te molimo ya bikelamu ya bomoi ezalaki kati na yango.
18 And the glory of the Lord went forth from the threshold of the temple, and stood above the cherubim.
Nkembo ya Yawe elongwaki na ekotelo ya Tempelo mpe ekendeki kotelema na likolo ya basheribe.
19 And the cherubim, lifting up their wings, were raised up from the earth in my sight. And as they went away, the wheels also followed. And it stood at the entrance to the east gate of the house of the Lord. And the glory of the God of Israel was over them.
Wana nazalaki kotala, basheribe bafungolaki mapapu na bango mpe bapumbwaki longwa na se; mpe tango bazalaki kokende, bapine yango mpe ezalaki kokende elongo na bango. Batelemaki na ekotelo ya Ekuke ya ngambo ya este ya Tempelo ya Yawe, bongo nkembo ya Nzambe ya Isalaele ezalaki likolo na bango.
20 This is the living creature, which I saw under the God of Israel beside the river Chebar. And I understood that they were cherubim.
Ezalaki nde bikelamu ya bomoi oyo namonaki na se ya Nzambe ya Isalaele pembeni ya Kebari; mpe nasosolaki ete ezali basheribe.
21 Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings. And the likeness of the hand of a man was under their wings.
Moko na moko kati na bango azalaki na bilongi minei mpe mapapu minei; bongo na se ya mapapu na bango, ezalaki na elilingi moko lokola maboko ya moto.
22 And, concerning the appearance of their faces, these were the same faces that I had seen beside the river Chebar, and the gaze and force of each one of them was to go before his face.
Bilongi na bango ezalaki ndenge moko na oyo namonaki pene ya Kebari. Moko na moko azalaki kotambola kaka liboso.
