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 [in the vision] I saw what resembled a throne made of (sapphire/[a very valuable] blue stone). It was above the thing that resembled a dome that was above the heads of the four winged creatures.
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.
Yahweh said to the man wearing the linen robe, “Go between the wheels that are under the winged creatures. Pick up as many hot coals as you can, and scatter them over the city.” And while I watched, the man wearing the linen robe left.
3 Cherubim ndị ahụ na-eguzo nʼakụkụ ndịda nke ụlọnsọ ahụ mgbe nwoke ahụ banyere. Igwe ojii jupụtakwara nʼogige ime ụlọnsọ ahụ.
The four winged creatures were standing on the south side of the temple when the man wearing the linen robe entered. Then a cloud filled the inner courtyard [of the temple area].
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.
And the (glory/dazzling light) of Yahweh rose up from above the winged creatures and went to the entrance of the temple. The cloud filled the temple, and the courtyard was full of the (glory/dazzling light) of Yahweh.
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.
The sound made by the wings of the winged creatures could be heard as far away as the courtyard outside the temple. It [very loud], like [SIM] the voice of Almighty God when he speaks.
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.
When Yahweh commanded the man wearing the linen robe to take burning coals from among those winged creatures, the man went [the courtyard] and stood beside one of the wheels.
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.
Then one of those winged creatures reached out his hand to the fire that was there among them. He picked up some of the coals and put them in the hands of the man wearing the linen robe, and that man took them and left.
8 Nʼokpuru nku ndị cherubim ahụ ka a na-ahụta ihe yiri aka mmadụ.
Under the wings of the winged creatures was something that resembled a human’s hands.
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.
Then [in the vision] I saw four wheels alongside the winged creatures. There was one wheel beside each of the winged creatures. The wheels shone like [SIM] very valuable stones.
10 Wịịlu anọ ndị ahụ yiri onwe ha. Nke ọbụla nʼime ha dịka wịịlu a rụnyere nʼetiti wịịlu ọzọ.
The wheels were all alike: Each had one wheel inside 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.
Whenever they moved, they went straight in whatever direction one of the winged creatures faced. The wheels did not turn in another direction while the winged creatures flew.
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.
Their bodies, including their backs and hands and wings, were covered with eyes. The wheels were also covered with eyes.
13 Aha m nụrụ a na-akpọ wịịlu ndị ahụ bụ, Ọgba gburugburu.
I heard someone call them ‘the whirling wheels’.
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.
Each of the winged creatures had four faces. One face was like the face of a bull, one face was like the face of a human, one face was like the face of a lion, and one face was like 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.
Then the winged creatures rose up. They were the same living creatures that I had seen alongside the Kebar River/Canal.
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.
When the winged creatures moved, the wheels moved with them. When the winged creatures spread their wings to fly over the ground, the wheels did not leave 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 the winged creatures stopped, the wheels stopped. When the winged creatures started to fly, the wheels flew with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
18 Emesịa, ebube nke Onyenwe anyị sitere na mbata ọnụ ụzọ ụlọnsọ ahụ pụọ, gaa guzo nʼelu cherubim ndị ahụ.
Then the (glory/dazzling light) left the entrance of the temple and stopped above the winged creatures.
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.
While I watched, the winged creatures spread their wings and started to fly, and the wheels went with them. They stopped at the gate on the east side of the temple area, and the (glory/dazzling light) of God, the one whom the [had worshiped], was above them.
20 Ndị a bụ ihe ndị ahụ dị ndụ, nke m hụrụ nʼokpuru Chineke Izrel nʼakụkụ osimiri Keba, amatara m na ha bụ cherubim.
Those were the [same] four living creatures that I had seen alongside the Kebar River/Canal, and I realized that they were the winged creatures.
21 Nke ọbụla nʼime ha nwere ihu anọ na nku anọ, na ihe yiri aka mmadụ nʼokpuru nku ha.
Each of them had four faces and four wings, and under their wings was what resembled a human’s hands.
22 Ihu ha yikwara ihu ihe ndị ahụ m hụrụ nʼakụkụ osimiri Keba. Nke ọbụla na-agakwa ije nʼihu ihu na-eleghị anya nʼazụ.
Their faces were the same as the faces that I had seen at the Kebar River/Canal. Each of them flew straight ahead.
