Ezekiel 10

1 And I look, and behold, on the expanse that [is] above the head of the cherubim, as a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne, He has been seen over them.

Og jeg saa, og se paa den udstrakte Befæstning, som var over Kerubernes Hoved, var den som en Safirsten, som Skikkelsen af en Trone at se til; han viste sig over dem.

2 And He speaks to the man clothed with linen and says, “Go into the midst of the wheel, to the place of the cherub, and fill your hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter over the city.” And he goes in before my eyes.

Og han talte til den Mand, som var klædt i Linklæderne, og sagde: Gak ind imellem Hjulene, hen under Keruben, og tag dine Næver fulde af Gløder fra den Ild, som er imellem Keruberne, og strø dem over Staden; og han gik derind for mine Øjne.

3 And the cherubim are standing on the right side of the house, at the going in of the man, and the cloud has filled the inner court,

Men Keruberne stode ved Husets højre Side, da Manden gik ind, og Skyen fyldte den inderste Forgaard.

4 and the glory of YHWH becomes high above the cherub, over the threshold of the house, and the house is filled with the cloud, and the court has been filled with the brightness of the glory of YHWH.

Og Herrens Herlighed harvede sig op fra Keruben hen til Husets Dørtærskel; og Huset fyldtes af Skyen, og Forgaarden blev fuld af Herrens Herligheds Glans.

5 And a noise of the wings of the cherubim has been heard in the outer court, as the voice of God—the Mighty One—in His speaking.

Og Lyden af Kerubernes Vinger hørtes ud til den yderste Forgaard ligesom den almægtige Guds Røst, naar han taler.

6 And it comes to pass, in His commanding the man clothed with linen, saying, “Take fire from between the wheel, from between the cherubim,” and he goes in and stands near the wheel,

Og det skete, der han befalede Manden, som var klædt i Linklæderne, og sagde: Tag Ild fra den, som er imellem Hjulene, imellem Keruberne, da gik denne ind og stod ved Siden af Hjulet.

7 that the [one] cherub puts forth his hand from between the cherubim to the fire that [is] between the cherubim, and lifts up, and gives [it] into the hands of him who is clothed with linen, and he receives, and comes forth.

Og Keruben udrakte sin Haand fra Keruberne til Ilden, som var imellem Keruberne, og han tog deraf og lagde i Næverne paa ham, der var klædt i Linklæderne, og denne, tog derimod og gik ud.

8 And there appears in the cherubim the form of a hand of man under their wings,

Og der saas paa Keruberne Skikkelsen af en Menneskehaand under deres Vinger.

9 and I look, and behold, four wheels near the cherubim, one wheel near one cherub, and another wheel near the other cherub, and the appearance of the wheels [is] as the color of a beryl stone.

Og jeg saa, og se, der var fire Hjul ved Siden af Keruberne, eet Hjul ved den ene Kerub og eet Hjul ved den anden Kerub; og Hjulenes Udseende var som Synet af Krysolit.

10 And [as for] their appearances, [the] four had one likeness, as it were the wheel in the midst of the wheel.

Og af Udseende havde de alle fire een Skikkelse, det var, som om eet Hjul var midt i det andet.

11 In their going, they go on their four sides; they do not turn around in their going, for to the place to where the head turns, they go after it, they do not turn around in their going.

Naar de gik, gik de imod deres fire Sider, de vendte sig ikke, naar de gik; men til det Sted, hvor det forreste vendte, derhen fulgte de efter, de vendte sig ikke, naar de gik.

12 And all their flesh, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, are full of eyes all around—[the] wheels [the] four had.

Og hele deres Legeme og deres Rygge og deres Hænder og deres Vinger og Hjulene vare fulde af Øjne trindt omkring, paa alle de fire Hjul.

13 As for the wheels—they were called “Whirling Wheel” in my ears.

Til Hjulene, til dem blev der raabt for mine Øren: Galgal!

14 And four faces [are] to each; the face of the first [is] the face of the cherub, and the face of the second [is] the face of man, and of the third the face of a lion, and of the fourth the face of an eagle.

Og enhver havde fire Ansigter; Ansigtet paa den første var Kerubens Ansigt, og Ansigtet paa den anden var et Menneskes Ansigt, og det tredje var en Løves Ansigt og det fjerde en Ørns Ansigt.

15 And the cherubim are lifted up, it [is] the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar.

Og Keruberne hævede sig i Vejret; dette var det levende Væsen, som jeg havde set ved Floden Kebar.

16 And in the going of the cherubim, the wheels go beside them; and in the cherubim lifting up their wings to be high above the earth, the wheels do not turn around, even they, from being beside them.

Og naar Keruberne gik, gik Hjulene hos dem; og naar Keruberne opløftede deres Vinger for at hæve sig fra Jorden, vendte Hjulene sig heller ikke bort fra deres Side.

17 In their standing they stand, and in their exaltation they are exalted with them: for [the] spirit of the living creature [is] in them.

Naar hine stode, stode disse, og naar hine hævede sig, hævede disse sig med dem; thi Livets Aand var i dem.

18 And the glory of YHWH goes forth from off the threshold of the house, and stands over the cherubim,

Og Herrens Herlighed gik ud fra Dørtærskelen paa Huset og stillede sig over Keruberne.

19 and the cherubim lift up their wings, and are lifted up from the earth before my eyes; in their going forth, the wheels [are] also alongside them, and he stands at the opening of the east gate of the house of YHWH, and the glory of the God of Israel [is] over them from above.

Da opløftede Keruberne deres Vinger og hævede sig op fra Jorden for mine Øjne, der de gik ud, og Hjulene ved Siden af dem; og de bleve staaende ved Indgangen til den østre Port paa Herrens Hus, og Israels Guds Herlighed var oven over dem.

20 It [is] the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar, and I know that they are cherubim.

Dette var det levende Væsen, som jeg havde set under Israels Gud ved Floden Kebar, og jeg kendte, at det var Keruberne.

21 [The] four—each had four faces, and each had four wings, and the likeness of the hands of man [is] under their wings.

Enhver havde fire Ansigter og enhver fire Vinger, og under deres Vinger var der en Skikkelse af Menneskehænder.

22 And the likeness of their faces, they [are] the faces that I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves; they each go straight forward.

Og deres Ansigter vare at se til som de Ansigter, hvilke jeg havde set ved Floden Kebar, deres Skikkelser og dem selv; enhver gik lige frem for sig.
