< Izikiel 10 >
1 Mgbe ahụ, elere m anya hụ ocheeze ọma e ji nkume safaia wuo ka ọ pụtara ihe na mbara eluigwe, nʼelu ebe ahụ isi cherubim ndị ahụ dị.
Then I saw, and, behold, on the vault that was above the head of the cherubim, there appeared over them something like a sapphire stone, something similar in appearance to the likeness of a throne.
2 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị sịrị nwoke ahụ yi uwe akwa ọcha, “Baa nʼetiti ụkwụ ụgbọala ahụ dị nʼokpuru cherubim ndị ahụ. Site nʼetiti cherubim ndị ahụ kpojuo icheku ọkụ nke na-ere ere nʼaka gị, fesachaa ha nʼime obodo ahụ niile.” Ọ bara nʼime ka m nʼele ya anya.
And he said unto the man clothed in linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, under the cherub, and fill thy hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and throw [them] over the city. And he went in before my eyes.
3 Cherubim ndị ahụ na-eguzo nʼakụkụ ndịda nke ụlọnsọ ahụ mgbe nwoke ahụ banyere. Igwe ojii jupụtakwara nʼogige ime ụlọnsọ ahụ.
Now the cherubim were standing on the right side of the house, when the man went in: and the cloud filled the inner court.
4 Mgbe ahụ, ebube Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼelu cherubim bilie, bịa guzo nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọnsọ ahụ. Ụlọnsọ ahụ jupụtakwara nʼigwe ojii, ihe nke ebube Onyenwe anyị jupụtakwara nʼogige ụlọnsọ ahụ.
Then the glory of the Lord rose upward from the cherub, toward 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.
5 Ụzụ nke nku cherubim ndị ahụ na-eme dịkwa ka olu Chineke Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile. A na-anụkwa ụzụ nku ndị ahụ nʼogige ụlọnsọ ahụ dị nʼezi.
And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard as far as the outer court, like the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh.
6 Mgbe Onyenwe anyị nyere nwoke ahụ yi uwe ezi akwa ọcha iwu, sị, “Gaa nʼetiti cherubim ahụ gụta ụfọdụ icheku ọkụ dị nʼetiti wịịlu ụgbọala ahụ,” nwoke ahụ banyere guzo nʼakụkụ otu wịịlu ahụ.
And it came to pass, when he commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubim, that he went in, and stood beside the wheel.
7 Mgbe ahụ, otu nʼime ndị cherubim ahụ setịpụrụ aka ya nʼebe ọkụ ahụ dị nʼetiti ha. Ọ gụtara ụfọdụ icheku ọkụ tinye nʼaka nwoke ahụ yi uwe akwa ọcha onye weere ya pụọ.
And the one cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubim unto the fire that was between the cherubim, and lifted it up, and placed it into the hands of the one clothed in linen; who took it, and went out.
8 Nʼokpuru nku ndị cherubim ahụ ka a na-ahụta ihe yiri aka mmadụ.
And there became visible on the cherubim the form of a man's hand beneath their wings.
9 Elere m anya hụ wịịlu anọ, nke dị nʼakụkụ cherubim ndị ahụ. Cherubim ọbụla nwere otu wịịlu nʼakụkụ ya. Wịịlu ndị a niile na-egbu maramara dịka nkume beril.
And I saw, and, behold, there were four wheels by the cherubim, one wheel by the one cherub, and another wheel by the other cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was like the glitter of a chrysolite stone.
10 Wịịlu anọ ndị ahụ yiri onwe ha. Nke ọbụla nʼime ha dịka wịịlu a rụnyere nʼetiti wịịlu ọzọ.
And as for their appearances, the whole four had one likeness, as if a wheel were in the midst of another wheel.
11 Mgbe ha na-aga, ha niile na-eche ihu nʼakụkụ ọbụla nke cherubim ndị ahụ chere ihu. Wịịlu ndị a adịghị echigharị echigharị mgbe cherubim ndị a na-agagharị. Kama ebe isi cherubim ndị ahụ chere ihu ka wịịlu ndị ahụ na-aga. Ha adịghị elekwa anya nʼazụ dịka ha na-aga.
In their going, they went toward their four sides, they turned not round in their going; but to the place whither the head was turned they followed it, they turned not round in their going.
12 Gburugburu ha, nʼanụ ahụ ha niile, ma nʼazụ ha, ma nʼaka ha, ma na nku ha, ma na wịịlu ndị ahụ, ihe jupụtara ha bụ anya. Anya dị nʼakụkụ ha niile.
And their whole body, and their back, and their hands, and their wings, as also the wheels, were full of eyes round about, [even] the wheels that belonged to all four of them.
13 Aha m nụrụ a na-akpọ wịịlu ndị ahụ bụ, Ọgba gburugburu.
As for the wheels, they were called Galgal before my ears.
14 Nke ọbụla nʼime cherubim ndị a nwere ihu anọ. Ihu nke mbụ dịka ihu cherub. Nke abụọ dịka ihu mmadụ; nke atọ dịka ihu ọdụm, ma nke anọ dịka ihu ugo.
And every one had four faces: the one face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third face was the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
15 Mgbe ahụ, Cherubim ndị ahụ buliri onwe ha elu. Ndị a bụ ihe ndị ahụ dị ndụ nke m hụrụ na mbụ nʼakụkụ osimiri Keba.
And the cherubim lifted themselves up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river Kebar.
16 Mgbe cherubim ndị ahụ na-aga, wịịlu ndị ahụ dị nʼakụkụ ha na-eso ha na-aga. Mgbe ha na-achili nku ha i si nʼala bulie onwe ha elu, wịịlu ha na-anọgidekwa nʼakụkụ ha.
And when the cherubim went forward, the wheels went close by them; and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels also did not turn away from beside them.
17 Mgbe cherubim ndị ahụ guzoro nʼotu ebe, wịịlu ahụ na-eguzokwa. Mgbe ha na-ebuli onwe ha elu, wịịlu ndị ahụ na-ebulikwa onwe ha elu, nʼihi na mmụọ nke ihe ahụ dị ndụ dị nʼime ha.
When those halted, these halted; and when those lifted themselves up, these lifted themselves up with them; for the spirit of the living creature was in them.
18 Emesịa, ebube nke Onyenwe anyị sitere na mbata ọnụ ụzọ ụlọnsọ ahụ pụọ, gaa guzo nʼelu cherubim ndị ahụ.
And the glory of the Lord went forth from off the threshold of the house, and halted over the cherubim.
19 Mgbe m nọ na-ele anya, cherubim ahụ gbasapụrụ nku ha felie, wịịlu ha niile dịkwa nʼakụkụ ha. Ha guzoro na mbata ọnụ ụzọ nke dị nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ nke ụlọ Onyenwe anyị, na ebube nke Chineke nke Izrel dịkwa nʼelu ha.
And the cherubim lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth before my eyes as they went forth, and the wheels at the same time with them, and halted at the entrance of the east gate of the house of the Lord: and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
20 Ndị a bụ ihe ndị ahụ dị ndụ, nke m hụrụ nʼokpuru Chineke Izrel nʼakụkụ osimiri Keba, amatara m na ha bụ cherubim.
This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Kebar; and I understood that they were cherubim.
21 Nke ọbụla nʼime ha nwere ihu anọ na nku anọ, na ihe yiri aka mmadụ nʼokpuru nku ha.
Every one had four faces apiece, and every one had four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.
22 Ihu ha yikwara ihu ihe ndị ahụ m hụrụ nʼakụkụ osimiri Keba. Nke ọbụla na-agakwa ije nʼihu ihu na-eleghị anya nʼazụ.
And the likeness of their faces was the same as the faces which I had seen by the river Kebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one in the direction of his face.
