Ezekiel 10
1 Then looked I and lo! in the expanse which was over the head of the cherubim as a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne, appeared over them.
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 Then said he unto the man clothed in linen—then said he Go in between the whirling wheels, even under the cherub, and fill both thy hands with live coals of fire from between the cherubim, and throw over the city. So he went in before mine 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 arose the glory of Yahweh from off the cherub, unto 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 Yahweh.
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 So then it came to pass— when he commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim, then went he 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 cherub put forth his hand from between the cherubim unto the fire that was between the cherubim, and took up thereof and gave into the hands of him who was clothed with linen, —who took [it] and went forth,
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 Now the cherubim appeared to have. the likeness of the hand of a man, under their wings.
Nikaona juu ya kerubi kitu kama mkono wa mtu juu ya mabawa yao.
9 Then looked I. and lo! four wheels by the cherubim—one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub, —and the appearance of the wheels was to look upon like a Tarshish 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 appearance, one likeness, had they four, -as might be a wheel in the midst of a wheel.
Mwonekano wake ulikuwa unaofanana kama wa wote wanne, kama gurudumu lililokuwa kwenye gurudumu lingine.
11 When they went, upon their four sides, they went, they turned not when they went, for to the place whithersoever the head turned, after it, they went, they turned not when they went.
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 all their flesh, and their back, and their hands and their wings, and the wheels were full of eyes round about, even their wheels which they four had
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 To the wheels—to them, was made the cry— O whirling wheel! in mine ears.
Nilikuwa nasikia, magurudumu yalikuwa yakiita, “Kuzunguka.”
14 And four faces had each one, —the first face, was the face of a cherub, and, the second face, was the face of a man and the third was the face of a lion. and the fourth, was 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 Then arose the cherubim, —the same, was the living one, which I had seen by the river Chebar.
Kisha makerubi-hawa walikuwa viumbe hai nilivyokuwa nimeviona karibu na Keberi Kanali-wakainuka juu.
16 When the cherubim went, then went the wheels beside them, —and when the cherubim lifted up their wings, to arise from off the earth, the wheels themselves turned not 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 they stood, these stood, and when they arose, these arose with them, —for, the spirit of the living one, 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 when the glory of Yahweh went forth from off the threshold of the house, —and stood over the cherubim,
Kisha utukufu wa Yahwe ukaja kutoka juu ya kizingiti cha nyumba na kusimama juu ya kerubi.
19 then the cherubim uplifted their wings and arose from the earth before mine eyes as they went forth, the wheels also in unison with them, —and it stood at the opening of the gate of the house of Yahweh that was toward the east, with the glory of the God of Israel 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 The same, was the living one which I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar, - then knew I that cherubim, they were.
Hawa walikuwa viumbe hai ambao niliokuwa nimewaona chini ya Mungu wa Israeli karibu na Kebari Kanali, hivyo nilijua kwamba walikuwa makerubi!
21 Four faces severally, had each one, and four wings, had each one, —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 as for the likeness of their faces, They were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves— every one straight before him, did they go.
na mfanano wa nyuso zao ulikuwa kama nyuso nilizokuwa nimeziona kwa maono huko Keberi Kanali, na kila mmoja wao alienda mbele.
