Ezekiel 10
1 Then I saw, and, behold, on the vault that was above the head of the cherubim, there appeared over them something like a sapphire stone, something similar in appearance to the likeness of a throne.
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 said unto the man clothed in linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, under the cherub, and fill thy hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and throw [them] over the city. And he went in before my eyes.
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 cherubim were standing on the right side of the house, when the man went in: and the cloud 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 glory of the Lord rose upward from the cherub, toward 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.
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 wings of the cherubim was heard as far as the outer court, like the voice of the Almighty 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 it came to pass, when he commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubim, that he went in, and stood beside the wheel.
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 the one cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubim unto the fire that was between the cherubim, and lifted it up, and placed it into the hands of the one clothed in linen; who took 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 became visible on the cherubim the form of a man's hand beneath their wings.
Nikaona juu ya kerubi kitu kama mkono wa mtu juu ya mabawa yao.
9 And I saw, and, behold, there were four wheels by the cherubim, one wheel by the one cherub, and another wheel by the other cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was like the glitter 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 as for their appearances, the whole four had one likeness, as if a wheel were in the midst of another wheel.
Mwonekano wake ulikuwa unaofanana kama wa wote wanne, kama gurudumu lililokuwa kwenye gurudumu lingine.
11 In their going, they went toward their four sides, they turned not round in their going; but to the place whither the head was turned they followed it, they turned not round in their going.
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 body, and their back, and their hands, and their wings, as also the wheels, were full of eyes round about, [even] the wheels that belonged to all four of them.
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 As for the wheels, they were called Galgal before my ears.
Nilikuwa nasikia, magurudumu yalikuwa yakiita, “Kuzunguka.”
14 And every one had four faces: the one face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third face was the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
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 cherubim lifted themselves up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river Kebar.
Kisha makerubi-hawa walikuwa viumbe hai nilivyokuwa nimeviona karibu na Keberi Kanali-wakainuka juu.
16 And when the cherubim went forward, the wheels went close by them; and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels also did not turn away 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 those halted, these halted; and when those lifted themselves up, these lifted themselves up with them; for the spirit of the living creature 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 And the glory of the Lord went forth from off the threshold of the house, and halted over the cherubim.
Kisha utukufu wa Yahwe ukaja kutoka juu ya kizingiti cha nyumba na kusimama juu ya kerubi.
19 And the cherubim lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth before my eyes as they went forth, and the wheels at the same time with them, and halted at the entrance of the east gate of the house of the Lord: and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
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 living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Kebar; and I understood that they were cherubim.
Hawa walikuwa viumbe hai ambao niliokuwa nimewaona chini ya Mungu wa Israeli karibu na Kebari Kanali, hivyo nilijua kwamba walikuwa makerubi!
21 Every one had four faces apiece, and every one had four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under 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 likeness of their faces was the same as the faces which I had seen by the river Kebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one in the direction of his face.
na mfanano wa nyuso zao ulikuwa kama nyuso nilizokuwa nimeziona kwa maono huko Keberi Kanali, na kila mmoja wao alienda mbele.
