< Hezekiel 10 >
1 Meda ŋku ɖi, eye mekpɔ nu si ɖi fiazikpui si wowɔ kple kpe xɔasi la wònɔ teƒe keke si nɔ kerubiawo tame.
Then looking, I saw that on the arch which was over the head of the winged ones there was seen over them what seemed like a sapphire stone, having the form of a king's seat.
2 Yehowa gblɔ na ame si do aklala biɖibiɖi ƒe awu la be, “Yi tasiaɖamfɔti siwo dzi kerubiawo le la dome. Lɔ dzoka xɔxɔ si le kerubiawo dome la ɖe wò asi me, eye nàwui ɖe du la dzi.” Menɔ ekpɔm wòge ɖe eme.
And he said to the man clothed in linen, Go in between the wheels, under the winged ones, and get your two hands full of burning coals from between the winged ones and send them in a shower over the town. And he went in before my eyes.
3 Azɔ la, kerubiawo nɔ tsitre ɖe gbedoxɔ la ƒe dziehe lɔƒo esi ame la ge ɖe eme, eye lilikpo yɔ xɔxɔnu emetɔ fũu.
Now the winged ones were stationed on the right side of the house when the man went in; and the inner square was full of the cloud.
4 Tete Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe ho tso kerubiawo tame, eye wòyi gbedoxɔ la ƒe kpui nu. Lilikpo la yɔ gbedoxɔ la fũu, eye Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe ƒe keklẽ yɔ xɔxɔnu la.
And the glory of the Lord went up from the winged ones and came to rest over the doorstep of the house; and the house was full of the cloud and the open square was full of the shining of the Lord's glory.
5 Woate ŋu ase kerubiawo ƒe aʋalaƒoƒo ƒe ɖiɖi le keke xɔxɔnu egodotɔ ke abe Mawu Ŋusẽkatãtɔ la ƒe gbe, ne eƒo nu ene.
And the sound of the wings of the winged ones was clear even in the outer square, like the voice of the Ruler of all.
6 Yehowa ɖe gbe na ame si do aklala biɖibiɖi ƒe awu la be, “Ɖe dzo tso tasiaɖamfɔtiawo dome, le kerubiawo dome.” Ŋutsu la yi ɖatsi tsitre ɖe tasiaɖamfɔtiawo dometɔ ɖeka gbɔ.
And when he gave orders to the man clothed in linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the winged ones, then he went in and took his place at the side of a wheel.
7 Tete kerubiawo dometɔ ɖeka do eƒe asi ɖa te ɖe dzo si le wo dome la ŋu. Eɖe dzo la ƒe ɖe ɖe asi na ame si do aklala biɖibiɖi ƒe awu la. Exɔe eye wodo go.
And stretching out his hand to the fire which was between the winged ones, he took some of it and went out.
8 Woate ŋu akpɔ nane si ɖi amegbetɔ ƒe asi la le kerubiawo ƒe aʋala te.
And I saw the form of a man's hands among the winged ones under their wings.
9 Meda ŋku ɖi, eye mekpɔ tasiaɖamfɔti ene le kerubiawo gbɔ, ɖeka le kerubi ɖe sia ɖe gbɔ, eye tasiaɖamfɔtiawo nɔ dzo dam abe kpe xɔasi ene.
And looking, I saw four wheels by the side of the winged ones, one wheel by the side of a winged one and another wheel by the side of another: and the wheels were like the colour of a beryl stone to the eye.
10 Wo ame eneawo katã woɖi wo nɔewo; wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe nɔ abe tasiaɖamfɔti ɖeka ko wonye ge ɖe nɔvia me ene.
In form the four of them were all the same, they seemed like a wheel inside a wheel.
11 Ne wole zɔzɔm la, woyia teƒe eneawo dometɔ ɖeka, afi si kerubi la atrɔ mo ɖo. Tasiaɖamfɔtiawo metrɔna to eme hafi dzea kerubi la yome o. Kerubi la yia afi sia afi si wòtrɔ mo ɖo, eye wometrɔna le zɔzɔme o.
When they were moving, they went on their four sides without turning; they went after the head in the direction in which it was looking; they went without turning.
12 Ŋkuwo nɔ woƒe ŋutilã ƒe akpa sia akpa, woƒe dzime, woƒe asiwo kple woƒe aʋalawo ŋu abe ale si wonɔ tasiaɖamfɔti eneawo hã ŋu ene.
And the edges of the four wheels were full of eyes round about.
13 Mese wonɔ tasiaɖamfɔtiawo yɔm be “yalifɔtiwo.”
As for the wheels, they were named in my hearing, the circling wheels.
14 Mo ene nɔ kerubiawo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe si. Moawo dometɔ ɖeka nye kerubi tɔ, evelia nye ame tɔ, etɔ̃lia nye dzata tɔ eye enelia nye hɔ̃ tɔ.
And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a winged one, and the second was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
15 Kerubiawo kɔ wo ɖokui dzi. Esiawoe nye nu gbagbe siwo mekpɔ le Kebar Tɔsisi la to.
And the winged ones went up on high: this is the living being which I saw by the river Chebar.
16 Ne kerubiawo ɖe zɔ la, tasiaɖamfɔtiawo nɔa wo xa, eye woawo hã zɔna. Ne kerubiawo keke woƒe aʋala be yewoadzo la tasiaɖamfɔtiawo meɖena ɖa le wo xa o.
And when the winged ones went, the wheels went by their side: and when their wings were lifted to take them up from the earth, the wheels were not turned from their side.
17 Ne kerubiawo tɔ la, woawo hã wotɔna, eye ne kerubiawo dzo la, woawo hã wodzona kpli wo, elabena nu gbagbeawo ƒe gbɔgbɔ nɔ wo me.
When they were at rest in their place, these were at rest; when they were lifted up, these went up with them: for the spirit of life was in them.
18 Tete Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe dzo le gbedoxɔ la ƒe kpui la tame, eye wòtɔ ɖe kerubiawo tame.
Then the glory of the Lord went out from the doorstep of the house, and came to rest over the winged ones.
19 Esi meda ŋku ɖi la, kerubiawo keke woƒe aʋalawo, dzo tso anyigba, eye esi woyina la, tasiaɖamfɔtiawo hã yi kpli wo. Wotɔ ɖe Yehowa ƒe aƒe la ƒe ɣedzeƒegbo la tame, eye Israel ƒe Mawu la ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe nɔ wo tame.
And the winged ones, lifting up their wings, went up from the earth before my eyes, with the wheels by their side: and they came to rest at the east doorway of the Lord's house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them on high.
20 Esiawoe nye nu gbagbe siwo mekpɔ le Israel ƒe Mawu la te le Kebar tɔsisi la to eye medze sii be, kerubiwo wonye.
This is the living being which I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and it was clear to me that they were the winged ones.
21 Mo ene kple aʋala ene nɔ ɖe sia ɖe si, eye nu si ɖi ame ƒe asiwo la nɔ woƒe aʋalawo te.
Every one had four faces and every one had four wings; and hands like a man's hands were under their wings.
22 Woƒe mowo nɔ abe esiwo mekpɔ le Kebar tɔsisi la to ene. Wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe yi ŋgɔ tẽe.
As for the form of their faces, they were the faces whose form I saw by the river Chebar; when they went, every one of them went straight forward.
