Ezekiel 10
1 Then I looked, and lo, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubs there appeared over them as it were a sapphire-stone, in form like a throne;
POI riguardai, ed ecco, sopra la distesa ch'[era] sopra il capo dei Cherubini, [vi era] come una pietra di zaffiro, simigliante in vista ad un trono, [il quale] appariva sopra loro.
2 and He spake to the man that was clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels under the cherub, and fill thy hands with coals of fire, which are between the cherubs, and scatter them over the city. And he went in before my eyes.
E [colui che sedeva sopra il trono] disse all'uomo ch'era vestito di panni lini: Entra per mezzo le ruote, di sotto a' Cherubini, ed empiti le pugna di brace di fuoco, d'infra i Cherubini, e spargi[le] sopra la città. Ed egli [vi] entrò nel mio cospetto.
3 Now the cherubs stood upon the right side of the house when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.
Ed i Cherubini erano fermi dal [lato] destro della Casa, quando quell'uomo entrò [là]; e la nuvola riempiè il cortile di dentro.
4 And the glory of Jehovah was lifted up from the cherub to the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was filled with the brightness of the glory of Jehovah.
Poi la gloria del Signore si levò d'in su i Cherubini, [traendo] verso la soglia della Casa; e la Casa fu ripiena della nuvola; e il cortile fu ripieno dello splendor della gloria del Signore.
5 And the sound of the wings of the cherubs was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of God, the Almighty, when he speaketh.
Ed il suono dell'ali de' Cherubini si udiva fino al cortile di fuori, simile alla voce dell'Iddio onnipotente, quando egli parla.
6 And when he commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubs, he went in and stood beside the wheels.
Ora, quando colui ebbe comandato all'uomo vestito di panni lini, dicendo: Prendi del fuoco di mezzo delle ruote, d'infra i Cherubini, egli venne, e si fermò presso ad una delle ruote.
7 And one cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubs to the fire that was between the cherubs, and took thereof, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linen, who took it, and went out.
E l'uno de' Cherubini distese la sua mano, d'infra i Cherubini, verso il fuoco, ch'[era] per mezzo i Cherubini, e ne prese, e [lo] diede nelle pugna di colui ch'era vestito di panni lini; il quale lo pigliò, ed uscì fuori.
8 And there was seen in the cherubs the form of a man's hand under their wings.
Or ne' Cherubini appariva una figura d'una man d'uomo, sotto alle loro ali.
9 And when I looked, behold, four wheels were by the cherubs, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub; and the appearance of the wheels was like that of a chrysolite.
Ed io riguardai, ed ecco quattro ruote allato a' Cherubini, ciascuna ruota allato a ciascun Cherubino; e le ruote rassomigliavano in vista al color della pietra del grisolito.
10 And as to their appearance, all four had one form, as if a wheel were in the midst of a wheel.
E quant'è alla lor sembianza, tutte e quattro [erano] d'una medesima sembianza; come se una ruota fosse stata in mezzo d'un' [altra] ruota.
11 When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not about when they went; but to the place whither the head looked they followed it, they turned not about when they went.
Quando si movevano, si movevano tutte e quattro, ciascuna dal lato suo; e movendosi, non si volgevano [qua e là]; anzi là dove si volgeva il capo, esse si volgevano dietro a lui; movendosi, non si volgevano [qua e là].
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 which they four had.
[Vi era] eziandio tutta la carne de' [Cherubini], e i lor dossi, e le lor mani, e le loro ali; e quant'è alle ruote, le lor quattro ruote [erano] piene d'occhi d'ogn'intorno.
13 And as to these wheels, each one of them in my hearing was called Whirlwind.
E fu gridato alle ruote, udente me: O ruote.
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.
E ciascun [Cherubino] avea quattro facce; la prima faccia [era] faccia di Cherubino; la seconda, faccia d'uomo; la terza, faccia di leone; e la quarta, faccia d'aquila.
15 And the cherubs were lifted up. They were the living creatures which I saw by the river Chebar.
E i Cherubini si alzarono. Questi [erano] i medesimi animali, che io avea veduti presso al fiume Chebar.
16 And when the cherubs went, the wheels went with them; and when the cherubs lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels turned not away from their side.
E quando i Cherubini camminavano, le ruote ancora si movevano allato a loro; e quando i Cherubini alzavano le loro ali, per elevarsi da terra, le ruote ancora non si rivolgevano d'appresso a loro.
17 When they stood, these stood; and when they were lifted up, these were liked up with them. For the spirit of the living creatures was in them.
Quando quelli si fermavano, [le ruote altresì] si fermavano; quando essi si alzavano, [le ruote] si alzavano insieme con loro; perciocchè lo spirito degli animali [era] in esse.
18 Then the glory of Jehovah departed from the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubs.
Poi la gloria del Signore si partì d'in su la soglia della Casa, stando sopra i Cherubini.
19 And the cherubs lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight, as they went out, and the wheels were beside them. And they stood at the entrance of the east gate of the house of Jehovah, and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
E i Cherubini, uscendo fuori, alzarono le loro ali, e si elevarono da terra nel mio cospetto; e le ruote [si elevarono] parimente con loro; e quelli si fermarono all'entrata della porta orientale, della Casa del Signore; e la gloria dell'Iddio d'Israele [era] al disopra di loro.
20 They were the living creatures which I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and I knew that they were the cherubs.
Questi [erano] gli stessi animali, che io avea veduti sotto l'Iddio d'Israele, presso al fiume Chebar; ed io riconobbi che [erano] Cherubini.
21 Every one had four faces, and every one four wings, and the form of a man's hand was under their wings.
Ciascun [di loro] avea quattro facce e quattro ali; ed aveano sotto alle loro ali una sembianza di mani d'uomo.
22 And as for the form 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 quant'è alla sembianza delle lor facce, [erano] le medesime, che io avea vedute presso al fiume Chebar; [erano] i medesimi aspetti di quelli anzi [i Cherubini erano] gli stessi; ciascuno camminava diritto davanti a sè.
