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.
And I saw, and behold, in the firmament that was over the heads of the cherubim, there appeared above them something like the sapphire stone, with the sight of the likeness of a throne.
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 spoke to the man who was clothed with linen, and he said: “Enter, between the wheels that are under the cherubim, and fill your hand with the coals of fire that are between the cherubim, and pour them upon the city.” And he entered, in my sight.
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 cherubim were standing before the right side of the house, when the man entered. And a cloud filled the inner court.
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 was lifted up, from above the cherubim, to the threshold of the house. And the house was filled with the cloud. And the court was filled with the splendor of the glory of the Lord.
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 cherubim was heard even in the outer court, like the voice of Almighty God speaking.
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 had instructed the man who was clothed with linen, saying, “Take fire from the midst of the wheels that are between the cherubim,” he entered and stood next to the 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 one cherub extended his hand, from the midst of the cherubim, to the fire that was between the cherubim. And he took and gave it into the hands of the one who was clothed with linen, and he accepted it and went forth.
8 Woate ŋu akpɔ nane si ɖi amegbetɔ ƒe asi la le kerubiawo ƒe aʋala te.
And there appeared amid the cherubim the likeness of the hand of a man, 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 I saw, and behold, there were four wheels beside the cherubim. One wheel was next to one cherub, and another wheel was next to another cherub. And the appearance of the wheels was like the sight of the chrysolite stone.
10 Wo ame eneawo katã woɖi wo nɔewo; wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe nɔ abe tasiaɖamfɔti ɖeka ko wonye ge ɖe nɔvia me ene.
And in their appearance, each one of the four were similar, as if a wheel were in the midst of 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.
And when they went, they advanced in four parts. And they did not turn as they went. Instead, to the place to which they were inclined to go at first, the rest also followed, and they did not turn back.
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 their entire body, with their necks and their hands and their wings and the circles, were full of eyes all around the four wheels.
13 Mese wonɔ tasiaɖamfɔtiawo yɔm be “yalifɔtiwo.”
And in my hearing, he called these wheels: “constantly changing.”
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.
Now each one had four faces. One face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and in the third was the face of a lion, and in the fourth was the face of an eagle.
15 Kerubiawo kɔ wo ɖokui dzi. Esiawoe nye nu gbagbe siwo mekpɔ le Kebar Tɔsisi la to.
And the cherubim were lifted up. This is the living creature, which I had seen beside 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 cherubim advanced, the wheels also went beside them. And when the cherubim lifted up their wings in order to be raised up from the earth, the wheels did not remain behind, but they also were beside them.
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 standing, these stood still. And when they were lifted up, these were lifted up. 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.
And the glory of the Lord went forth from the threshold of the temple, and stood above the cherubim.
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 cherubim, lifting up their wings, were raised up from the earth in my sight. And as they went away, the wheels also followed. And it stood at the entrance to the east gate of the house of the Lord. And the glory of the God of Israel was over them.
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 creature, which I saw under the God of Israel beside the river Chebar. And I understood that they were cherubim.
21 Mo ene kple aʋala ene nɔ ɖe sia ɖe si, eye nu si ɖi ame ƒe asiwo la nɔ woƒe aʋalawo te.
Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings. And the likeness of the hand of a man was under their wings.
22 Woƒe mowo nɔ abe esiwo mekpɔ le Kebar tɔsisi la to ene. Wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe yi ŋgɔ tẽe.
And, concerning the appearance of their faces, these were the same faces that I had seen beside the river Chebar, and the gaze and force of each one of them was to go before his face.
