Ezekiel 10
1 Then [in the vision] I saw what resembled a throne made of (sapphire/[a very valuable] blue stone). It was above the thing that resembled a dome that was above the heads of the four winged creatures.
Nikatazama, nikaona juu ya ile nafasi iliyokuwa juu ya vichwa vya wale makerubi kulikuwa na kitu mfano wa kiti cha enzi cha yakuti samawi.
2 Yahweh said to the man wearing the linen robe, “Go between the wheels that are under the winged creatures. Pick up as many hot coals as you can, and scatter them over the city.” And while I watched, the man wearing the linen robe left.
Bwana akamwambia mtu yule aliyekuwa amevaa nguo ya kitani, “Ingia katikati ya yale Magurudumu yaliyo chini ya makerubi. Ukaijaze mikono yako makaa ya mawe ya moto kutoka katikati ya makerubi na uyatawanye juu ya mji.” Nilipokuwa nikiangalia, akaingia ndani.
3 The four winged creatures were standing on the south side of the temple when the man wearing the linen robe entered. Then a cloud filled the inner courtyard [of the temple area].
Basi wale makerubi walikuwa wamesimama upande wa kusini wa Hekalu wakati yule mtu alipoingia ndani, wingu likaujaza ule ukumbi wa ndani.
4 And the (glory/dazzling light) of Yahweh rose up from above the winged creatures and went to the entrance of the temple. The cloud filled the temple, and the courtyard was full of the (glory/dazzling light) of Yahweh.
Kisha utukufu wa Bwana ukainuka kutoka juu ya wale makerubi ukaenda kwenye kizingiti cha Hekalu. Wingu likajaza Hekalu, nao ukumbi ukajawa na mngʼao wa utukufu wa Bwana.
5 The sound made by the wings of the winged creatures could be heard as far away as the courtyard outside the temple. It [very loud], like [SIM] the voice of Almighty God when he speaks.
Sauti ya mabawa ya wale makerubi ingeweza kusikika mpaka kwenye ukumbi wa nje, kama sauti ya Mungu Mwenyezi wakati anapoongea.
6 When Yahweh commanded the man wearing the linen robe to take burning coals from among those winged creatures, the man went [the courtyard] and stood beside one of the wheels.
Bwana alipomwamuru yule mtu aliyevaa nguo za kitani akisema, “Chukua moto toka katikati ya magurudumu, kutoka katikati ya makerubi,” yule mtu aliingia ndani akasimama pembeni mwa gurudumu.
7 Then one of those winged creatures reached out his hand to the fire that was there among them. He picked up some of the coals and put them in the hands of the man wearing the linen robe, and that man took them and left.
Ndipo mmoja wa wale makerubi akanyoosha mkono wake kwenye moto uliokuwa katikati yao. Akachukua baadhi ya moto na kuutia mikononi mwa yule mtu aliyevaa mavazi ya kitani, naye akaupokea akatoka nje.
8 Under the wings of the winged creatures was something that resembled a human’s hands.
(Chini ya mabawa ya makerubi paliweza kuonekana kitu kilichofanana na mikono ya mwanadamu.)
9 Then [in the vision] I saw four wheels alongside the winged creatures. There was one wheel beside each of the winged creatures. The wheels shone like [SIM] very valuable stones.
Nikatazama, nikaona magurudumu manne kando ya makerubi, moja kando ya kila kerubi. Magurudumu hayo yalimetameta kama kito cha zabarajadi.
10 The wheels were all alike: Each had one wheel inside another wheel.
Kule kuonekana kwake, yote manne yalifanana kila gurudumu lilikuwa kama linazunguka ndani ya lingine.
11 Whenever they moved, they went straight in whatever direction one of the winged creatures faced. The wheels did not turn in another direction while the winged creatures flew.
Yalipozunguka, yalikwenda kokote katika pande nne walikoelekea wale makerubi. Magurudumu hayakugeuka wakati makerubi yalipokwenda. Makerubi walikwenda upande wowote kichwa kilikoelekea pasipo kugeuka walipokuwa wakienda.
12 Their bodies, including their backs and hands and wings, were covered with eyes. The wheels were also covered with eyes.
Miili yao yote, pamoja na migongo yao, mikono na mabawa yao yote yalikuwa yamejaa macho kabisa kama yalivyokuwa yale magurudumu yao manne.
13 I heard someone call them ‘the whirling wheels’.
Nikasikia magurudumu yakiitwa, “Magurudumu ya kisulisuli.”
14 Each of the winged creatures had four faces. One face was like the face of a bull, one face was like the face of a human, one face was like the face of a lion, and one face was like the face of an eagle.
Kila mmoja wa wale makerubi alikuwa na nyuso nne: Uso mmoja ulikuwa kama vile wa kerubi, uso wa pili ulikuwa wa mwanadamu, uso wa tatu ulikuwa wa simba na uso wa nne ulikuwa wa tai.
15 Then the winged creatures rose up. They were the same living creatures that I had seen alongside the Kebar River/Canal.
Kisha makerubi wakapaa juu. Hawa ndio wale viumbe walio hai niliowaona kando ya Mto Kebari.
16 When the winged creatures moved, the wheels moved with them. When the winged creatures spread their wings to fly over the ground, the wheels did not leave them.
Wakati makerubi walipokwenda, magurudumu yaliyoko kando yao yalikwenda na wakati makerubi walipotanda mabawa yao wapate kupaa juu kutoka ardhi, magurudumu yale hayakuondoka pembeni mwao.
17 When the winged creatures stopped, the wheels stopped. When the winged creatures started to fly, the wheels flew with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
Makerubi yaliposimama kimya, nayo pia yalitulia kimya, nao makerubi yalipoinuka juu, magurudumu nayo yaliinuka juu pamoja nao, kwa sababu roho ya vile viumbe hai ilikuwa ndani yake.
18 Then the (glory/dazzling light) left the entrance of the temple and stopped above the winged creatures.
Kisha utukufu wa Bwana ukaondoka pale kwenye kizingiti cha Hekalu na kusimama juu ya wale makerubi.
19 While I watched, the winged creatures spread their wings and started to fly, and the wheels went with them. They stopped at the gate on the east side of the temple area, and the (glory/dazzling light) of God, the one whom the [had worshiped], was above them.
Nilipokuwa nikitazama, makerubi yakatanda mabawa yao na kuinuka kutoka ardhini, nao walipokuwa wakienda, yale magurudumu yakaenda pamoja nao. Wakasimama kwenye ingilio la lango la mashariki la nyumba ya Bwana, nao utukufu wa Mungu wa Israeli ukawa juu yao.
20 Those were the [same] four living creatures that I had seen alongside the Kebar River/Canal, and I realized that they were the winged creatures.
Hawa walikuwa ndio viumbe hai niliokuwa nimewaona chini ya Mungu wa Israeli kando ya Mto Kebari, nami nikatambua ya kuwa hao walikuwa makerubi.
21 Each of them had four faces and four wings, and under their wings was what resembled a human’s hands.
Kila mmoja alikuwa na nyuso nne, mabawa manne, chini ya mabawa yao kulikuwa na kile kilichoonekana kama mikono ya mwanadamu.
22 Their faces were the same as the faces that I had seen at the Kebar River/Canal. Each of them flew straight ahead.
Nyuso zao zilifanana kama zile nilizokuwa nimeziona kando ya Mto Kebari. Kila mmoja alikwenda mbele moja kwa moja.
