< Ezekiel 10 >

1 I looked up and saw what looked like a throne made of lapis lazuli beyond the expanse, way above the heads of the cherubim.
And I saw and there! [was] to the expanse which [was] above [the] head of the cherubim like a stone of sapphire like [the] appearance of [the] likeness of a throne it appeared above them.
2 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.
And he said to the man - clothed of the linen and he said go to between the wheel to under the cherub and fill cupped hands your coals of fire from between the cherubim and sprinkle [them] on the city and he went to eyes my.
3 The cherubim were standing on the south side of the Temple when the man went in. A cloud filled the inner court.
And the cherubim [were] standing from [the] south of the house when went he the man and the cloud it filled the court inner.
4 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.
And it rose [the] glory of Yahweh from on the cherub to [the] threshold of the house and it was filled the house the cloud and the court it was full [the] brightness of [the] glory of Yahweh.
5 The noise made by the cherubim's wings could even be heard in the outer courtyard, and sounded like the voice of God Almighty.
And [the] sound of [the] wings of the cherubim it was heard to the court outer like [the] sound of God Almighty when speaks he.
6 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.
And it was when commanded he the man clothed of the linen saying take fire from between the wheel from between the cherubim and he went and he stood beside the wheel.
7 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.
And he stretched out the cherub hand his from between the cherubim into the fire which [was] between the cherubim and he lifted up [some] and he put [it] into [the] cupped hands of [the] [man] clothed of the linen and he took [it] and he went out.
8 (All the cherubim had what looked like human hands under their wings.)
And it was seen to the cherubim [the] form of [the] hand of a human under wings their.
9 I saw four wheels next to the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub. The wheels shone like topaz.
And I saw and there! four wheels [were] beside the cherubim a wheel one beside the cherub one and a wheel one beside the cherub one and [the] appearance of the wheels [was] like [the] appearance of a stone of chrysolite.
10 All four wheels looked the same, and had a wheel within a wheel, set crossways.
And appearance their a likeness one [belonged] to [the] four of them just as it was the wheel in [the] middle of the wheel.
11 The cherubim could go in any direction they faced, moving without turning.
When moved they to [the] four sides their they moved not they turned when moved they for the place which it turned the head after it they moved not they turned when moved they.
12 The whole of their bodies, including their backs, hands, and wings, were covered in eyes, as were all four wheels.
And all body their and backs their and hands their and wings their and the wheels [were] full eyes all around [belonged] to [the] four of them wheels their.
13 I heard the wheels being referred to as “the chariot wheels.”
To the wheels to them it was called the wheel in ears my.
14 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.
And four faces [belonged] to one [the] face of the one [was] [the] face of the cherub and [the] face of the second [was the] face of a human and the third [face] [was the] face of a lion and the fourth [face] [was the] face of an eagle.
15 Then the cherubim rose up in the air. They were the beings I'd seen beside the River Kebar.
And they rose the cherubim that [was] the living creature which I had seen at [the] river of Kebar.
16 When the cherubim moved, the wheels moved alongside them. Even when they opened their wings to take off, the wheels stayed beside them.
And when moved the cherubim they moved the wheels beside them and when lifted up the cherubim wings their to rise from on the earth not they turned the wheels also they from beside them.
17 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.
When stood still they they stood still and when rose they they rose with them for [the] spirit of the living creature [was] in them.
18 Then the glory of the Lord left the entrance to the Temple and stopped above the cherubim.
And it went out [the] glory of Yahweh from at [the] threshold of the house and it stood still above the cherubim.
19 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.
And they lifted up the cherubim wings their and they rose from the earth to eyes my when went out they and the wheels [were] close by them and it stood still [the] entrance of [the] gate of [the] house of Yahweh eastern and [the] glory of [the] God of Israel [was] above them from to above.
20 These were the beings I had seen beneath the God of Israel by the River Kebar. I knew that they were cherubim.
That [was] the living creature which I had seen under [the] God of Israel at [the] river of Kebar and I knew that [were] cherubim they.
21 Each had four faces and four wings and had what looked like human hands under their wings.
Four four faces [belonged] to one and four wings [belonged] to one and [the] likeness of [the] hands of a human [were] under wings their.
22 Their faces looked like the faces I had seen by the River Kebar. Each of them moved directly ahead.
And [the] likeness of faces their they [were] the faces which I had seen at [the] river of Kebar appearance their and them each to [the] side of face its they moved.
