Ezekiel 10
1 And as I looked, beholde, in the firmament that was aboue the head of the Cherubims there appeared vpon them like vnto the similitude of a throne, as it were a saphir stone.
Nilipokuwa nikingalia mbele ya anga ambalo liliyokuwa juu ya vichwa vya kerubi; kitu kikawatokea juu yao kama rangi ya samawati mwonekano wake ulikuwa kama kiti cha enzi.
2 And he spake vnto the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in betweene the wheeles, euen vnder the Cherub, and fill thine hands with coales of fire from betweene the Cherubims, and scatter the ouer the citie. And he went in in my sight.
Kisha Yahwe akaongea na yule mtu alikuwa maevaa nguo za kitani na kusema, “Nenda kati ya magurudumu chini ya kerubi, na jaza mikono yako yote na watawanye juu ya mji.” Kisha yule mtu akaenda ndani nikiwa natazama.
3 Now the Cherubims stood vpon the right side of the house, when the man went in, and the cloude filled the inner court.
Kerubi likasimama juu ya upande wa kulia wa nyumba wakati yule mtu alipoingia, na wingu likaja a ndani ya uzio.
4 Then the glorie of the Lord went vp from the Cherub, and stoode ouer the doore of the house, and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was filled with the brightnesse of the Lordes glorie.
Utukufu wa Yahwe ukainuka kutoka kwenye kerubi na kusimama kwenye kizingiti cha nyumba. Ukaijaza nyumaba kwa wingu, na uzio ulikuwa umejaa nuru ya utukufu wa Yahwe.
5 And the sound of the Cherubims wings was heard into the vtter court, as the voyce of the Almightie God, when he speaketh.
Sauti ya mabawa ya kerubi ikasikika kwa mbali nje ya uzio, kama sauti ya Mungu mwenyezi wakati akiwa anaongea.
6 And when he had commanded the man clothed with linnen, saying, Take fire from betweene the wheeles, and from betweene ye Cherubims, then he went in and stood beside ye wheele.
Ikawa kuhusu, Mungu alipoamwamuru yule mtu aliyekuwa amevaa nguo za kitani na kusema, “Chukua moto kutoka kwenye ya kerubi,” yule mtu akaenda na kusimama karibu na gurudumu.
7 And one Cherub stretched forth his hand from betweene the Cherubims vnto the fire, that was betweene the Cherubims, and tooke thereof, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linnen: who tooke it and went out.
Kerubi akaunyoosha mkono wake kwenye kerubi kwenye moto uliokuwa miongoni mwa kerubi, na kuiacha juu na kuiweka kwenye mikono ya yule mtu aliyekuwa amevaa vazi la kitani. Yule mtu akaichukua na kurudi.
8 And there appeared in the Cherubims, the likenesse of a mans hande vnder their wings.
Nikaona juu ya kerubi kitu kama mkono wa mtu juu ya mabawa yao.
9 And when I looked vp, beholde, foure wheeles were beside the Cherubims, one wheele by one Cherub, and another wheele by another Cherub, and the appearance of the wheeles was as the colour of a Chrysolite stone.
Hivyo nikaona, na tazama! Magurudumu manne yalikuwa karibu na kerubi-gurudumu moja karibu na kila kerubi-na mwonekano wa hayo magurudumu ulikuwa kama jiwe la zabarajadi.
10 And their appearance (for they were all foure of one facion) was as if one wheele had bene in another wheele.
Mwonekano wake ulikuwa unaofanana kama wa wote wanne, kama gurudumu lililokuwa kwenye gurudumu lingine.
11 When they went foorth, they went vpon their foure sides, and they returned not as they went: but to the place whither the first went, they went after it, and they turned not as they went.
wakati walipokuwa wakitembea, walienda katika pande zote nne bila kugeuka katika kwenye njia nyingine. Badala yake, popote kichwa kilipoelekea, walilifuata. Hawakugeuka kwenye njia yeyote nyingine walipokuwa wakienda.
12 And their whole bodie, and their rings, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheeles were full of eyes round about, euen in the same foure wheeles.
Mwili wao wote-pamoja na migongo yao, mikono yao, na mabawa yao-vilikuwa vimefunikwa kwa macho, na macho kufunika magurudumu manne kuzunguka pote pia.
13 And the Cherub cryed to these wheeles in mine hearing, saying, O wheele.
Nilikuwa nasikia, magurudumu yalikuwa yakiita, “Kuzunguka.”
14 And euery beast had foure faces: the first face was the face of a Cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the thirde the face of a lyon, and the fourth the face of an Egle.
Walikuwa na nyuso nne kila moja; uso wa kwanza ulikuwa uso wa kerubi, uso wa pili ulikuwa uso wa mtu, uso wa tatu ulikuwa uso wa simba, na uso wa nne ulikuwa uso wa malaika.
15 And the Cherubims were lifted vp: this is the beast that I sawe at the riuer Chebar.
Kisha makerubi-hawa walikuwa viumbe hai nilivyokuwa nimeviona karibu na Keberi Kanali-wakainuka juu.
16 And when ye Cherubims went, the wheeles went by them: and when the Cherubims lift vp their wings to mount vp from the earth, the same wheeles also turned not from beside them.
Popote makerubi walipoenda, magurudumu yalienda karibu nao, na popote makerubi walipoinua juu mabawa yao kupaa juu kutoka kwenye nchi, magurudumu hayakugeuka. Yaliendelea kuwa karibu nao.
17 When the Cherubims stoode, they stood: and when they were lifted vp, they lifted the selues vp also: for the spirit of the beast was in them.
Wakati makerubi waliposimama, magurudumu yalisimama pia, na wakati walipoinuka juu, magurudumu yaliinuka juu pamoja nao, kwa kuwa roho wa vile viumbe hai walikuwa kwenye magurudumu.
18 Then the glorie of the Lord departed from aboue the doore of the house, and stoode vpon the Cherubims.
Kisha utukufu wa Yahwe ukaja kutoka juu ya kizingiti cha nyumba na kusimama juu ya kerubi.
19 And the Cherubims lift vp their wings, and mounted vp from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheeles also were besides them: and euery one stoode at the entrie of the gate of the Lordes House at the East side, and the glorie of the God of Israel was vpon them on hie.
Lile kerubi likaacha juu mabawa na kuinuka kutoka kwenye jicho langu wakati walipotoka nje, na yale magurudumu yakafanya vivyo hivyo karibu yao. Wakasimama upande wa mashariki kuingia kwenye nyumba ya Yahwe, na utukufu wa Mungu wa Israeili ukaja juu yao kutoka juu.
20 This is the beast that I sawe vnder the God of Israel by the riuer Chebar, and I knewe that they were the Cherubims.
Hawa walikuwa viumbe hai ambao niliokuwa nimewaona chini ya Mungu wa Israeli karibu na Kebari Kanali, hivyo nilijua kwamba walikuwa makerubi!
21 Euery one had foure faces, and euery one foure wings, and the likenesse of mans hands was vnder their wings.
Walikuwa na macho manne kila mmoja na mabawa manne, na mfanano wa nyuso zao zilikuwa na mfanano wa mikono ya mwanadamu chini ya mabawa yao,
22 And the likenesse of their faces was the selfe same faces, which I sawe by the riuer Chebar, and the appearance of the Cherubims was ye selfe same, and they went euery one straight forwarde.
na mfanano wa nyuso zao ulikuwa kama nyuso nilizokuwa nimeziona kwa maono huko Keberi Kanali, na kila mmoja wao alienda mbele.
