< Ezekiel 10 >
1 Then I looked, and, behold, upon the firmament that was over the head of the cherubim, there appeared above them as it were a 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 unto the man clothed in linen, and said: 'Go in between the wheelwork, even under the cherub, and fill both thy hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and dash them against 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 Now the cherubim stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the 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 mounted up from the cherub to the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the LORD'S glory.
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 cherubim was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of God Almighty when He speaketh.
E o estrondo das asas dos cherubins se ouviu até ao átrio exterior, como a voz do Deus Todo-poderoso, quando fala.
6 And it came to pass, when He commanded the man clothed in linen, saying: 'Take fire from between the wheelwork, from between the cherubim', that he went in, and stood beside a 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 the cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubim unto the fire that was between the cherubim, and took thereof, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed in linen, who took it and went out.
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 cherubim the form 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 looked, and behold four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside one cherub, and another wheel beside another cherub; and the appearance of the wheels was as the colour of a beryl 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 for their appearance, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been within a wheel.
E, quanto ao seu aspecto, as quatro tinham uma mesma semelhança; como se estivera uma roda no meio doutra roda.
11 When they went, they went toward their four sides; they turned not as they went, but to the place whither the head looked they followed it; they turned not as they went.
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 backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels were full of eyes round about, even the wheels that they four had.
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 As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing The wheelwork.
E, quanto às rodas, a elas se lhes chamou a meus ouvidos Galgal.
14 And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of the cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and 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 cherubim mounted up — this is the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar.
E os cherubins se elevaram ao alto: estes são os mesmos animais que vi junto ao rio de Chebar.
16 And when the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also turned not from beside 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 mounted up, these mounted up with them; for the spirit of the living creature 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 off the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim.
Então saiu a glória do Senhor de sobre o umbral da casa do Senhor, e parou sobre os cherubins.
19 And the cherubim lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight when they went forth, and the wheels beside them; and they stood at the door of the east gate of the LORD'S house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
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 that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and I knew that they were cherubim.
Estes são os animais que vi debaixo do Deus de Israel, junto ao rio de Chebar, e conheci que eram cherubins.
21 Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man 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 for the likeness of their faces, they were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves; they went every one 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.
