Ezekiel 10

1 Then I looked, and see, in the expanse that was over the head of the cherubim there appeared above them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.

١ ثُمَّ نَظَرْتُ وَإذَا عَلَى أَدِيمِ الْمُقَبَّبِ الَّذِي فَوْقَ رَأْسِ الْكَرُوبِيمِ مَا يُشْبِهُ الْعَرْشَ، وَكَأَنَّهُ مِنْ حَجَرِ الْعَقِيقِ الأَزْرَقِ.

2 He spoke to the man clothed in linen, and said, “Go in between the whirling wheels, even under the cherub, and fill both your hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city.” He went in as I watched.

٢ وَقَالَ لِلرَّجُلِ الْمُرْتَدِي الْكَتَّانَ: «ادْخُلْ بَيْنَ الْعَجَلاتِ تَحْتَ الْكَرُوبِ وَامْلَأْ كَفَّيْكَ جَمْرَ نَارٍ مِنْ بَيْنِ الْكَرُوبِيمِ، وَذَرِّ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ». فَدَخَلَ عَلَى مَرْأَىً مِنِّي.

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

٣ وَكَانَ الْكَرُوبِيمُ وَاقِفِينَ عَنْ يَمِينِ الْبَيْتِ حِينَ دَخَلَ بَيْنَ الْعَجَلاتِ، فَمَلأَتِ السَّحَابَةُ الْفِنَاءَ الدَّاخِلِيَّ.

4 The LORD’s glory mounted up from the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the LORD’s glory.

٤ ثُمَّ ارْتَفَعَ مَجْدُ الرَّبِّ عَنِ الْكَرُوبِ وَاسْتَقَرَّ عَلَى عَتَبَةِ الْهَيْكَلِ، فَامْتَلأَ الْهَيْكَلُ مِنَ السَّحَابَةِ، وَغَمَرَ الْفِنَاءَ لَمَعَانٌ مِنْ مَجْدِ الرَّبِّ.

5 The sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.

٥ وَبَلَغَ صَوْتُ أَجْنِحَةِ الْكَرُوبِيمِ الْفِنَاءَ الْخَارِجِيَّ كَصَوْتِ اللهِ الْقَدِيرِ إِذَا تَكَلَّمَ.

6 It came to pass, when he commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, “Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim,” that he went in and stood beside a wheel.

٦ فَلَمَّا أَمَرَ الرَّجُلَ الْمُرْتَدِيَ الْكَتَّانَ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ نَاراً مِنْ بَيْنِ الْعَجَلاتِ مِنْ بَيْنِ الْكَرُوبِيمِ دَخَلَ الرَّجُلُ وَوَقَفَ إِزَاءَ الْعَجَلَةِ.

7 The cherub stretched out his hand from between the cherubim to the fire that was between the cherubim, and took some of it, and put it into the hands of him who was clothed in linen, who took it and went out.

٧ فَمَدَّ كَرُوبٌ مِنْ بَيْنِ الْكَرُوبِيمِ يَدَهُ إِلَى النَّارِ الَّتِي كَانَتْ بَيْنَ الْكَرُوبِيمِ، وَتَنَاوَلَ مِنْهَا جَمْراً، وَوَضَعَهُ فِي كَفَيِّ الْمُرْتَدِي الْكَتَّانَ، فَأَخَذَهَا هَذَا وَخَرَجَ.

8 The form of a man’s hand appeared here in the cherubim under their wings.

٨ وَبَدَا أَنَّ لِلْكَرُوبِيمِ تَحْتَ أَجْنِحَتِهِمْ يَداً تُشْبِهُ يَدَ الْبَشَرِ.

9 I looked, and behold, there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside one cherub, and another wheel beside another cherub. The appearance of the wheels was like a beryl stone.

٩ وَنَظَرْتُ وَإذَا بِأَرْبَعِ عَجَلاتٍ إِزَاءَ الْكَرُوبِيمِ؛ كُلُّ عَجَلَةٍ بِجُوَارِ كَرُوبٍ. وَكَانَ مَنْظَرُ الْعَجَلاتِ كَمَنْظَرِ حَجَرِ الزَّبَرْجَدِ.

10 As for their appearance, the four of them had one likeness, like a wheel within a wheel.

١٠ وَكَانَتِ الأَرْبَعُ مُتَمَاثِلَةَ الشَّكْلِ وَكَأَنَّمَا كُلُّ عَجَلَةٍ فِي وَسَطِ عَجَلَةٍ.

11 When they went, they went in their four directions. They didn’t turn as they went, but to the place where the head looked they followed it. They didn’t turn as they went.

١١ وَإذَا تَحَرَّكَتْ لِتَسِيرَ فَإِنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَتَّجِهُ فِي سَيْرِهَا فِي أَيِّ اتِّجَاهٍ مِنَ الاتِّجَاهَاتِ الأَرْبَعَةِ، وَفْقاً لِاتِّجَاهِ الرَّأْسِ، فَتَسِيرُ خَلْفَهُ وَلا تَحِيدُ عَنْ طَرِيقِهَا.

12 Their whole body, including their backs, their hands, their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes all around, even the wheels that the four of them had.

١٢ وَكَانَتْ جَوَانِبُ أَجْسَامِ الْكَائِنَاتِ وَظُهُورُهَا وَأَيْدِيهَا وَأَجْنِحَتُهَا وَالْعَجَلاتُ الَّتِي تَخُصُّهَا مَلأَى بِالْعُيُونِ.

13 As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, “the whirling wheels”.

١٣ وَدُعِيَتِ الْعَجَلاتُ عَلَى مَسْمَعِي بِالْعَجَلاتِ.

14 Every one of them had four faces. The first face was the face of the cherub. The second face was the face of a man. The third face was the face of a lion. The fourth was the face of an eagle.

١٤ وَكَانَ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ أَرْبَعَةُ أَوْجُهٍ: الْوَجْهُ الأَوَّلُ وَجْهُ كَرُوبٍ، وَالْوَجْهُ الثَّانِي وَجْهُ إِنْسَانٍ وَالْوَجْهُ الثَّالِثُ وَجْهُ أَسَدٍ، وَالْوَجْهُ الرَّابِعُ وَجْهُ نَسْرٍ.

15 The cherubim mounted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar.

١٥ ثُمَّ ارْتَفَعَ الْكَرُوبِيمُ، فَكَانَتْ هَذِهِ هِيَ الْكَائِنَاتُ الَّتِي شَاهَدْتُهَا بِجُوَارِ نَهْرِ خَابُورَ.

16 When the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels also didn’t turn from beside them.

١٦ وَعِنْدَمَا تَحَرَّكَ الْكَرُوبِيمُ تَحَرَّكَتِ الْعَجَلاتُ بِجُوَارِهِمْ، وَعِنْدَمَا فَرَدَ الْكَرُوبِيمُ أَجْنِحَتَهُمْ لِيُحَلِّقُوا فَوْقَ الأَرْضِ، حَلَّقَتِ الْعَجَلاتُ إِلَى جُوَارِهِمْ بِنَفْسِ الاتِّجَاهِ، وَلَمْ تَحِدْ عَنْهُمْ.

17 When they stood, these stood. When they mounted up, these mounted up with them; for the spirit of the living creature was in them.

١٧ فَإِنْ تَوَقَّفُوا تَوَقَّفَتْ، وَإِنْ حَلَّقُوا تُحَلِّقْ مَعَهُمْ، لأَنَّ رُوحَ الْكَائِنَاتِ الْحَيَّةِ كَانَ فِيهَا أَيْضاً.

18 The LORD’s glory went out from over the threshold of the house and stood over the cherubim.

١٨ وَفَارَقَ مَجْدُ الرَّبِّ عَتَبَةَ الْهَيْكَلِ وَخَيَّمَ فَوْقَ الْكَرُوبِيمِ.

19 The cherubim lifted up their wings and mounted up from the earth in my sight when they went out, with the wheels beside them. Then they stood at the door of the east gate of the LORD’s house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.

١٩ وَعِنْدَمَا ارْتَفَعَ الْكَرُوبِيمُ فَرَدُوا أَجْنِحَتَهُمْ وَحَلَّقُوا فَوْقَ الأَرْضِ عَلَى مَرْأَى مِنِّي، وَحَلَّقَتِ الْعَجَلاتُ مَعَهُمْ، ثُمَّ تَوَقَّفُوا عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ بَوَّابَةِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ الشَّرْقِيِّ، وَمَجْدُ الرَّبِّ مَا بَرِحَ مُخَيِّماً عَلَيْهِمْ.

20 This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and I knew that they were cherubim.

٢٠ هَذِهِ هِيَ الْكَائِنَاتُ الْحَيَّةُ الَّتِي شَاهَدْتُهَا تَحْتَ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ عِنْدَ نَهْرِ خَابُورَ. فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُمُ الْكَرُوبِيمُ.

21 Every one had four faces, and every one four wings. The likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.

٢١ وَكَانَ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ أَرْبَعَةُ أَوْجُهٍ وَأَرْبَعَةُ أَجْنِحَةٍ، وَتَحْتَ أَجْنِحَتِهِمْ أَيْدٍ مُمَاثِلَةٌ لأَيْدِي الْبَشَرِ.

22 As for the likeness of their faces, they were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves. They each went straight forward.

٢٢ أَمَّا أَشْكَالُ وُجُوهِهِمْ فَكَانَتْ نَفْسَ الْوُجُوهِ الَّتِي رَأَيْتُهَا عِنْدَ نَهْرِ خَابُورَ، لَا تَخْتَلِفُ عَنْهَا فِي صُوَرِهَا وَمَعَالِمِهَا، وَكُلُّ وَاحِدٍ يَتَحَرَّكُ إِلَى الأَمَامِ حَسَبَ اتِّجَاهِهِ.
