Ezekiel 10
1 Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubims there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
Et vidi, et ecce in firmamento, quod erat super caput cherubim, quasi lapis sapphirus, quasi species similitudinis solii, apparuit super ea.
2 And he spake unto the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, [even] under the cherub, and fill thine hand with coals of fire from between the cherubims, and scatter [them] over the city. And he went in in my sight.
Et dixit ad virum, qui indutus erat lineis, et ait: Ingredere in medio rotarum, quæ sunt subtus cherubim, et imple manum tuam prunis ignis, quæ sunt inter cherubim, et effunde super civitatem. Ingressusque est in conspectu meo:
3 Now the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.
cherubim autem stabant a dextris domus cum ingrederetur vir, et nubes implevit atrium interius.
4 Then the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub, [and stood] over 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.
Et elevata est gloria Domini desuper cherub ad limen domus: et repleta est domus nube, et atrium repletum est splendore gloriæ Domini.
5 And the sound of the cherubims’ wings was heard [even] to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh.
Et sonitus alarum cherubim audiebatur usque ad atrium exterius, quasi vox Dei omnipotentis loquentis.
6 And it came to pass, [that] when he had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubims; then he went in, and stood beside the wheels.
Cumque præcepisset viro, qui indutus erat lineis, dicens: Sume ignem de medio rotarum, quæ sunt inter cherubim: ingressus ille stetit iuxta rotam.
7 And [one] cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubims unto the fire that [was] between the cherubims, and took [thereof], and put [it] into the hands of [him that was] clothed with linen: who took [it], and went out.
Et extendit cherub manum de medio cherubim ad ignem, qui erat inter cherubim: et sumpsit, et dedit in manus eius, qui indutus erat lineis: qui accipiens egressus est.
8 And there appeared in the cherubims the form of a man’s hand under their wings.
Et apparuit in cherubim similitudo manus hominis subtus pennas eorum.
9 And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubims, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels [was] as the colour of a beryl stone.
et vidi, et ecce quattuor rotæ iuxta cherubim: rota una iuxta cherub unum, et rota alia iuxta cherub unum: species autem rotarum erat quasi visio lapidis chrysolithi.
10 And [as for] their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel.
et aspectus earum similitudo una quattuor: quasi sit rota in medio rotæ.
11 When they went, they went upon 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.
Cumque ambularent, in quattuor partes gradiebantur: et non revertebantur ambulantes, sed ad locum, ad quem ire declinabat quæ prima erat, sequebantur et ceteræ, nec convertebantur.
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.
Et omne corpus earum, et colla, et manus, et pennæ, et circuli plena erant oculis, in circuitu quattuor rotarum.
13 As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O wheel.
Et rotas istas vocavit volubiles, audiente me.
14 And every one had four faces: the first face [was] the face of a 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.
Quattuor autem facies habebat unum: facies una, facies cherub: et facies secunda, facies hominis: et in tertio facies leonis: et in quarto facies aquilæ.
15 And the cherubims were lifted up. This [is] the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar.
Et elevata sunt cherubim: ipsum est animal, quod videram iuxta fluvium Chobar.
16 And when the cherubims went, the wheels went by them: and when the cherubims lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also turned not from beside them.
Cumque ambularent cherubim, ibant pariter et rotæ iuxta ea: et cum elevarent cherubim alas suas ut exaltarentur de terra, non residebant rotæ, sed et ipsæ iuxta erant.
17 When they stood, [these] stood; and when they were lifted up, [these] lifted up themselves [also: ] for the spirit of the living creature [was] in them.
Stantibus illis, stabant: et cum elevatis elevabantur. spiritus enim vitæ erat in eis.
18 Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubims.
Et egressa est gloria Domini a limine templi: et stetit super cherubim.
19 And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also [were] beside them, and [every one] 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.
Et elevantia cherubim alas suas, exaltata sunt a terra coram me: et illis egredientibus, rotæ quoque subsecutæ sunt: et stetit in introitu portæ domus Domini orientalis: et gloria Dei Israel erat super ea.
20 This [is] the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they [were] the cherubims.
Ipsum est animal quod vidi subter Deum Israel iuxta fluvium Chobar: et intellexi quia cherubim essent.
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.
Quattuor vultus uni, et quattuor alæ uni: et similitudo manus hominis sub alis eorum.
22 And the likeness of their faces [was] the same faces which I saw by the river of Chebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one straight forward.
Et similitudo vultuum eorum, ipsi vultus quos videram iuxta fluvium Chobar, et intuitus eorum, et impetus singulorum ante faciem suam ingredi.
