< Ezekiel 10 >
1 And I look, and lo, on the expanse that [is] above the head of the cherubs, as a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne, He hath been seen over them.
Katahi ahau ka titiro atu, nana, i te kikorangi, i runga ake i te mahunga o nga kerupima, ka kitea i runga i a ratou me te mea he kohatu hapaira, rite tonu ki te ahua o te torona ki te titiro.
2 And He speaketh unto the man clothed with linen, and saith, 'Go in unto the midst of the wheel, unto the place of the cherub, and fill thy hands with coals of fire from between the cherubs, and scatter over the city.' And he goeth in before mine eyes.
Na ka korero ia ki te tangata i te kakahu rinena, i mea ia, Tomo atu ki waenganui o nga wira e hurihuri na, ara ki raro i te kerupa, whakakiia ou ringa e rua ki nga waro ahi i waenganui i nga kerupima, ka rui ki runga ki te pa. Na haere ana ia me te titiro ano ahau.
3 And the cherubs are standing on the right side of the house, at the going in of the man, and the cloud hath filled the inner court,
Na i tu nga kerupima ki te taha ki matau o te whare, i te tomonga o taua tangata; ki tonu hoki to roto marae i te kapua.
4 and become high doth the honour of Jehovah above the cherub, over the threshold of the house, and the house is filled with the cloud, and the court hath been filled with the brightness of the honour of Jehovah.
Katahi ka kake te kororia o Ihowa i te kerupa, a ka tu i runga ake i te paepae o te whare; ki tonu iho te whare i te kapua, ki tonu hoki te marae i te kanapatanga o to Ihowa kororia.
5 And a noise of the wings of the cherubs hath been heard unto the outer court, as the voice of God — the Mighty One — in His speaking.
Na, ko te haruru o nga parirau o nga kerupima, i rangona ki te marae ra ano o waho, me te mea ko te reo o te Atua Kaha Rawa ina korero.
6 And it cometh to pass, in His commanding the man clothed with linen, saying, 'Take fire from between the wheel, from between the cherubs,' and he goeth in and standeth near the wheel,
Na, i tana whakahaunga i te tangata i te kakahu rinena, i tana meatanga, Tikina he ahi i waenganui o nga wira hurihuri, i waenganui o nga kerupima; katahi tera ka haere ki roto, ka tu ki te taha o tetahi wira.
7 that the [one] cherub putteth forth his hand from between the cherubs unto the fire that [is] between the cherubs, and lifteth up, and giveth into the hands of him who is clothed with linen, and he receiveth, and cometh forth.
Na ka totoro te ringa o te kerupa i waenganui o nga kerupima ki te ahi i waenganui o nga kerupima, hapainga ana e ia i reira, hoatu ana ki nga ringa o tera i te kakahu rinena. Na tangohia ana e tera, a puta atu ana.
8 And there appeareth in the cherubs the form of a hand of man under their wings,
I kitea ano te ahua o te ringa tangata i nga kerupima i raro i o ratou parirau.
9 and I look, and lo, four wheels near the cherubs, one wheel near the one cherub, and another wheel near the other cherub, and the appearance of the wheels [is] as the colour of a beryl stone.
A i kite ahau, na e wha nga wira i te taha o nga kerupima, kotahi te wira i te taha o te kerupa kotahi, ko tetahi wira i te taha o tetahi atu kerupa. Na, ko te ahua o nga wira koia ano kei te kara o te kohatu perira.
10 As to their appearances, one likeness [is] to them four, as it were the wheel in the midst of the wheel.
Na ki te tirohia atu aua mea, kotahi ano te ahua o ratou e wha, me te mea kotahi te wira i roto i te wira.
11 In their going, on their four sides they go; they turn not round in their going, for to the place whither the head turneth, after it they go, they turn not round in their going.
I to ratou haerenga i haere i o ratou taha e wha; kihai i tahuri i a ratou i haere ra, engari, ko te wahi i anga atu ai te matenga, whai tonu atu ratou ki reira; kihai i tahuri i a ratou i haere ra.
12 And all their flesh, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, are full of eyes round about; to them four [are] their wheels.
Na, ko to ratou tinana katoa, ko o ratou tuara, ko o ratou ringa, ko o ratou parirau, a ko nga wira hoki, kapi tonu i te kanohi a taka noa, ara nga wira i a ratou tokowha.
13 To the wheels — to them is one calling in mine ears, 'O wheel!'
Na ko nga wira ra, i karangatia i ahau ano e whakarongo ana, ko nga wira hurihuri.
14 And four faces [are] to each; the face of the one [is] the face of the cherub, and the face of the second the face of man, and of the third the face of a lion, and of the fourth the face of an eagle.
Na e wha nga mata o tetahi, o tetahi; ko te mata tuatahi he mata kerupa, ko te mata tuarua he mata tangata, ko te tuatoru he mata raiona, ko te tuawha he mata ekara.
15 And the cherubs are lifted up, it [is] the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar.
Na ka maiangi nga kerupima ki runga. Ko te mea ora tenei i kitea e ahau ki te awa, ki Kepara.
16 And in the going of the cherubs, the wheels go beside them; and in the cherubs lifting up their wings to be high above the earth, the wheels turn not round, even they, from being beside them.
Na, i te haerenga o nga kerupima, i haere ano nga wira i to ratou taha, a ka ara ake nga parirau o nga kerupima, he mea kia maiangi ake ai i te whenua, kihai aua wira i tahuri ke i to ratou taha.
17 In their standing they stand, and in their exaltation they are exalted with them: for the living spirit [is] in them.
Ka tu era, ka tu enei; ka maiangi era ki runga, ka maiangi ano enei ki runga; no te mea i roto i a ratou te wairua o te mea ora.
18 And go forth doth the honour of Jehovah from off the threshold of the house, and standeth over the cherubs,
Na kua riro atu te kororia o Ihowa i runga i te paepae o te whare, tau ana ki runga ki nga kerupima.
19 and the cherubs lift up their wings, and are lifted up from the earth before mine eyes; in their going forth, the wheels also [are] over-against them, and he standeth at the opening of the east gate of the house of Jehovah, and the honour of the God of Israel [is] over them from above.
Na ka ara nga parirau o nga kerupima, maiangi ana i te whenua, i ahau e titiro atu ana i to ratou haerenga atu, me nga wira ano i to ratou taha: a tu ana ratou i te kuwaha o te keti ki te rawhiti o te whare o Ihowa; a i runga i a ratou te korori a o te Atua o Iharaira, i te taha ki runga.
20 It [is] the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar, and I know that they are cherubs.
Ko te mea ora tenei i kitea e ahau i raro i te atua o Iharaira, i te awa, i Kepara; i mohio ano ahau he kerupima era.
21 Four faces [are] to each, and four wings to each, and the likeness of the hands of man [is] under their wings.
E wha nga mata o tenei, o tenei, e wha ano nga parirau o tenei, o tenei; i raro ano i o ratou parirau ko te ahua o te ringa tangata.
22 As to the likeness of their faces, they [are] the faces that I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves; each straight forward they go.
Na, ko te ahua o o ratou mata ko aua mata i kitea ra e ahau ki te awa, ki Kepara, o ratou ahua me ratou ano; i tika tonu atu ratou tetahi, tetahi.
