< Ezekiel 10 >

1 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.
Depois olhei, e eis que no firmamento, que estava por cima da cabeça dos cherubins, apareceu sobre eles como uma pedra de safira, como o aspecto da semelhança dum trono.
2 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:
E falou ao homem vestido de linho, dizendo: vai por entre as rodas, até debaixo do cherubim, e enche os punhos de brazas acesas dentre os cherubins, e espalha-as sobre a cidade. E ele entrou à minha vista.
3 And the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in, and a cloud filled the inner court.
E os cherubins estavam ao lado direito da casa, quando entrou aquele homem; e uma nuvem encheu o átrio interior.
4 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.
Então se levantou a glória do Senhor de sobre o cherubim para o umbral da casa; e encheu-se a casa de uma nuvem, e o átrio se encheu do resplandor da glória do Senhor.
5 And the sound of the wings of the cherubims was heard even to the outward court as the voice of God Almighty speaking.
E o estrondo das asas dos cherubins se ouviu até ao átrio exterior, como a voz do Deus Todo-poderoso, quando fala.
6 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,
Sucedeu pois que, dando ele ordem ao homem vestido de linho, dizendo: Toma fogo dentre as rodas, dentre os cherubins, entrou ele, e se pôs junto às rodas.
7 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.
Então estendeu um cherubim a sua mão de entre os cherubins para o fogo que estava entre os cherubins; e o tomou, e o pôs nas mãos do que estava vestido de linho; o qual o tomou, e saiu.
8 And there appeared in the cherubims the likeness of a man’s hand under their wings.
E apareceu nos cherubins uma semelhança de mão de homem debaixo das suas asas.
9 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:
Então olhei, e eis quatro rodas junto aos cherubins, uma roda junto a um cherubim, e outra roda junto a outro cherubim; e o aspecto das rodas era como cor de pedra de turqueza.
10 And as to their appearance, all four were alike: as if a wheel were in the midst of a wheel.
E, quanto ao seu aspecto, as quatro tinham uma mesma semelhança; como se estivera uma roda no meio doutra roda.
11 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.
Andando estes, andavam estas outras pelos quatro lados deles; não se viravam quando andavam, mas para o lugar para onde olhava a cabeça para esse andavam; não se viravam quando andavam.
12 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.
E todo o seu corpo, e as suas costas, e as suas mãos, e as suas asas, e as rodas, as rodas que os quatro tinham, estavam cheias de olhos em redor.
13 And these wheels he called voluble, in my hearing.
E, quanto às rodas, a elas se lhes chamou a meus ouvidos Galgal.
14 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.
E cada um tinha quatro rostos: o rosto do primeiro era rosto de cherubim, e o rosto do segundo rosto de homem, e do terceiro era rosto de leão, e do quarto rosto de águia.
15 And the cherubims were lifted up: this is the living creature that I had seen by the river Chobar.
E os cherubins se elevaram ao alto: estes são os mesmos animais que vi junto ao rio de Chebar.
16 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.
E, andando os cherubins, andavam as rodas juntamente com eles; e, levantando os cherubins as suas asas, para se elevarem de sobre a terra, também as rodas não se separavam deles.
17 When they stood, these stood: and when they were lifted up, these were lifted up: for the spirit of life was in them.
Parando eles, paravam elas; e, elevando-se eles, elevavam-se elas, porque o espírito de vida estava nelas.
18 And the glory of the Lord went forth from the threshold of the temple: and stood over the cherubims.
Então saiu a glória do Senhor de sobre o umbral da casa do Senhor, e parou sobre os cherubins.
19 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.
E os cherubins alçaram as suas asas, e se elevaram da terra aos meus olhos, quando sairam; e as rodas os acompanhavam: e cada um parou à entrada da porta oriental da casa do Senhor; e a glória do Deus de Israel estava em cima sobre eles.
20 This is the living creature, which I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chobar: and I understood that they were cherubims.
Estes são os animais que vi debaixo do Deus de Israel, junto ao rio de Chebar, e conheci que eram cherubins.
21 Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings: and the likeness of a man’s hand was under their wings.
Cada um tinha quatro rostos e cada um quatro asas, e a semelhança de mãos de homem debaixo das suas asas.
22 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.
E a semelhança dos seus rostos era a dos rostos que eu tinha visto junto ao rio de Chebar, o aspecto deles e eles mesmos: cada um andava ao direito do seu rosto.
