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;

Pea naʻaku mamata, pea vakai, naʻe hā mai ʻae meʻa hangē ko e maka ko e safaia mei he fakamalumalu naʻe ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he ʻulu ʻoe selupimi, pea naʻe hā mai ia hangē ko ha nofoʻa fakatuʻi.

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.

Pea naʻe folofola ia ki he tangata naʻe kofuʻaki ʻae tupenu lelei, ʻo ne pehē, “Hū atu ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ngaahi teka, ʻi he lalo selupi, pea fakapito ʻaki ho nima ʻae malalaʻi afi mei he vahaʻa ʻoe selupimi pea fakamokulu ia ki he kolo.” Pea naʻa ne hū atu ia ʻi hoku ʻao.

3 Now the cherubs stood upon the right side of the house when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.

Pea ko eni, naʻe hū atu ʻae tangata ʻoku tuʻu ʻae selupimi ʻi he potu toʻomataʻu ʻoe fale; pea naʻe fakafonu ʻaki ʻae ʻao ʻae lotoʻā ki loto.

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.

Pea naʻe toki hiki hake ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova mei he selupi, pea tuʻu mei he matapā ʻoe fale: pea naʻe pito ʻae fale ʻi he ʻao, pea pito mo e lotoʻā ʻi he malama ʻoe nāunau ʻo Sihova.

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.

Pea naʻe ongo atu ʻo aʻu ki he lotoʻā kituʻa ʻae patū ʻoe kapakau ʻoe selupimi ʻo hangē ko e leʻo ʻoe ʻOtua Māfimafi ʻoka folofola ia.

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.

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene fekau ki he tangata naʻe kofuʻaki ʻae tupenu lelei, ʻo pehē, Toʻo ʻae afi mei he vahaʻa ʻoe ngaahi teka mei he vahaʻa ʻoe selupimi; pea toki hū atu ia ʻo ne tuʻu ofi ki he ngaahi teka.

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.

Pea mafao atu ʻe he selupi ʻe taha ʻa hono nima mei he vahaʻa ʻoe selupimi ki he afi naʻe ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe selupimi, ʻo ne toʻo mei ai ʻo ne tuku ki he nima ʻo ia naʻe kofuʻaki ʻae tupenu lelei pea ne ʻave ia ʻe ia, ʻo ne ʻalu atu.

8 And there was seen in the cherubs the form of a man's hand under their wings.

Pea naʻe hā mai ʻi he selupimi hangē ko e nima ʻoe tangata ʻi honau lalo kapakau:

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.

Pea ʻi heʻeku mamata, vakai naʻe ʻi he selupimi ʻae teka ʻe fā, ko e teka ʻe taha ʻi he selupi ʻe taha, pea ko e teka ʻe taha ʻi he selupi ʻe taha: pea ko e hā mai ʻae ngaahi teka naʻe hangē ko e lanu ʻoe maka ko e pelili.

10 And as to their appearance, all four had one form, as if a wheel were in the midst of a wheel.

Pea ko e anga ʻo ʻenau hā mai, naʻe mata tatau ʻae toko fā ko ia, ʻo hangē naʻe ʻai ki he loto teka ʻe taha ha teka ʻe taha.

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.

‌ʻI heʻenau ʻalu, naʻa nau ʻalu ʻi honau tafaʻaki ʻe fā; naʻe ʻikai te nau tafoki ʻi heʻenau ʻalu, ka ko e potu ko ia naʻe hanga ki ai honau mata naʻa nau muimui ai; naʻe ʻikai te nau tafoki ʻi heʻenau ʻalu.

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.

Pea ko honau sino kotoa mo honau tuʻa, mo honau nima, mo honau kapakau, pea mo e ngaahi teka, naʻe fonu takatakai ʻi he mata, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi teka naʻe ʻi he toko fā ni.

13 And as to these wheels, each one of them in my hearing was called Whirlwind.

Pea naʻe ui ki he ngaahi teka, ka ʻoku ou fanongo, “Ke ngaue atu.”

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.

Pea naʻe taki taha maʻu ʻae mata ʻe fā: ko e ʻuluaki mata ko e mata ia ʻoe selupi, pea ko hono ua ʻoe mata, ko e mata ia ʻoe tangata, pea ko hono tolu ko e mata ʻoe laione, pea ko hono fā ko e mata ʻoe ʻikale.

15 And the cherubs were lifted up. They were the living creatures which I saw by the river Chebar.

Pea naʻe hiki ki ʻolunga ʻae selupimi, Ko eni ia ʻae meʻa moʻui ko ia naʻaku mamata ai ʻi he veʻe vaitafe ʻo Kipa.

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.

Pea ka ʻalu ʻae selupimi, naʻe ngaue fakataha mo e ngaahi teka: pea ʻi he fakamafola ʻe he selupimi honau kapakau ke puna hake mei he fonua, naʻe ʻikai foki atu meiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi teka ko ia.

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.

Ka nau ka tuʻumaʻu, ne tuʻumaʻu ia; pea ka hiki ki ʻolunga ʻakinautolu, naʻe hiki hake foki ia ʻe ia: he naʻe ʻi ai ʻae laumālie ʻoe meʻa moʻui.

18 Then the glory of Jehovah departed from the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubs.

Pea naʻe toki mahuʻi atu ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova mei he matapā ʻoe fale ʻo tuʻu mei ʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi selupimi.

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.

Pea naʻe mafola hake ʻe he selupimi honau kapakau, ʻonau puna hake mei he kelekele ʻi hoku ʻao: pea ʻi heʻenau ʻalu atu naʻe ʻi ai pe foki ʻae ngaahi teka, pea naʻe tutuʻu kotoa pē ʻi he matapā fakahahake ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova; pea naʻe ʻi ʻolunga ʻiate kinautolu ʻae nāunau ʻoe ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.

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.

Ko eni ia ʻae meʻa moʻui ko ia naʻaku mamata ʻoku ʻafio mei ai ʻae ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he veʻe vaitafe ʻo Kipa; pea naʻaku ʻilo ko e selupimi pe ʻakinautolu.

21 Every one had four faces, and every one four wings, and the form of a man's hand was under their wings.

Naʻe taki taha maʻu ʻae mata ʻe fā, pea taki taha ʻae kapakau ʻe fā; pea hangē ko e nima ʻoe tangata ʻi honau lalo kapakau.

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.

Pea ko e hā mai ʻa honau mata ko e mata pe ia naʻaku mamata ai ʻi he veʻe vaitafe ʻo Kipa, ʻae anga ʻo ʻenau hā mai mo kinautolu foki: naʻe ʻalu fakahangatonu atu ʻakinautolu taki taha.
