Yehezkiel 10
1 Lalu aku memandang ke kubah yang ada di atas kepala kerub-kerub itu, dan kulihat sesuatu yang seperti takhta dari batu nilam.
And saw and behold in the firmament that was over the heads of the cherubims, there appeared over them as it were the sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
2 Kemudian Allah berkata kepada orang yang berpakaian linen itu, "Masuklah di antara roda-roda yang ada di bawah kerub-kerub itu, dan ambillah segenggam bara api. Lalu hamburkanlah bara itu ke atas kota." Ia menurut, dan aku memperhatikannya.
And he spoke to the man, that was clothed with linen, and said: Go in between the wheels that are under the cherubims and fill thy hand with the coals of fire that are between the cherubims, and pour them out upon the city. And he went in, in my sight:
3 Ketika ia masuk, kerub-kerub itu sedang berdiri di sebelah selatan Rumah TUHAN. Segumpal awan memenuhi pelataran dalam dan seluruh Rumah TUHAN.
And the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in, and a cloud filled the inner court.
4 Cahaya kemilau yang menandakan kehadiran TUHAN memancar dari kerub-kerub itu dan pindah ke pintu masuk Rumah TUHAN, sehingga pelatarannya menjadi terang-benderang.
And the glory of the Lord was lifted up from above the cherub to the threshold of the house: and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was filled with the brightness of the glory of the Lord.
5 Bunyi kepakan sayap kerub-kerub itu terdengar sampai ke pelataran luar, seperti suara Allah Yang Mahakuasa.
And the sound of the wings of the cherubims was heard even to the outward court as the voice of God Almighty speaking.
6 Setelah TUHAN menyuruh orang yang berpakaian linen itu mengambil segenggam bara api dari antara roda-roda di bawah kerub-kerub itu, orang itu masuk dan berdiri di samping salah satu dari roda-roda itu.
And when he had commanded the man that was clothed with linen, saying: Take fire from the midst of the wheels that are between the cherubims: he went in and stood beside the wheel,
7 Lalu salah satu dari kerub itu memasukkan tangannya ke dalam api yang ada di tengah-tengah mereka, memungut beberapa potong bara, dan memberikannya kepada orang yang berpakaian linen itu. Orang itu menerimanya lalu pergi.
And one cherub stretched out his arm from the midst of the cherubims to the fire that was between the cherubims: and he took, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linen: who took it and went forth.
8 Aku melihat bahwa di bawah sayap setiap kerub itu ada sesuatu yang berbentuk tangan manusia.
And there appeared in the cherubims the likeness of a man’s hand under their wings.
9 Aku melihat juga bahwa kerub-kerub itu masing-masing mempunyai sebuah roda di sampingnya. Keempat roda itu serupa, dan berkilauan seperti permata indah. Masing-masing mempunyai satu roda lainnya yang melintang di tengah-tengahnya.
And I saw, and behold there were four wheels by the cherubims: one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was to the sight like the chrysolite stone:
And as to their appearance, all four were alike: as if a wheel were in the midst of a wheel.
11 Dengan demikian kerub-kerub itu dapat menuju ke empat jurusan. Mereka dapat pergi ke mana saja mereka suka, tanpa memutar tubuhnya.
And when they went, they went by four ways: and they turned not when they went: but to the place whither they first turned, the rest also followed, and did not turn back.
12 Seluruh tubuh mereka, punggungnya, tangannya, sayapnya dan roda-roda pun penuh dengan mata.
And their whole body, and their necks, and their hands, and their wings, and the circles were full of eyes, round about the four wheels.
13 Aku dengar bahwa roda-roda itu disebut "puting beliung".
And these wheels he called voluble, in my hearing.
14 Setiap kerub itu mempunyai empat wajah yang berlainan. Wajah yang pertama ialah wajah banteng, yang kedua wajah manusia, yang ketiga wajah singa, dan yang keempat wajah rajawali.
And every one had four faces: one face was the face of a cherub, and the second face, the face of a man: and in the third was the face of a lion: and in the fourth the face of an eagle.
15 Kerub-kerub itulah yang dahulu kulihat di tepi Sungai Kebar. Setiap kali kerub-kerub itu bergerak atau mengembangkan sayapnya, naik ke udara dan terbang maju atau berhenti, roda-roda itu selalu ikut, karena dikuasai oleh kerub-kerub itu.
And the cherubims were lifted up: this is the living creature that I had seen by the river Chobar.
And when the cherubims went, the wheels also went by them: and when the cherubims lifted up their wings, to mount up from the earth, the wheels stayed not behind, but were by them.
When they stood, these stood: and when they were lifted up, these were lifted up: for the spirit of life was in them.
18 Lalu cahaya kemilau yang menandakan kehadiran TUHAN meninggalkan pintu masuk Rumah TUHAN dan pindah ke atas kerub-kerub itu.
And the glory of the Lord went forth from the threshold of the temple: and stood over the cherubims.
19 Aku melihat kerub-kerub itu mengembangkan sayapnya dan terbang meninggalkan tanah lalu pergi, dan roda-rodanya ikut. Lalu mereka berhenti di dekat pintu gerbang Rumah TUHAN yang di sebelah timur, sedang cahaya kemilau tetap di atas mereka.
And the cherubims lifting up their wings, were raised from the earth before me: and as they went out, the wheels also followed: and it stood in the entry of the east gate of the house of the Lord: and the glory of the God of Israel was over them.
20 Aku teringat bahwa itulah kerub-kerub yang dahulu kulihat ada di bawah Allah Israel, di tepi Sungai Kebar.
This is the living creature, which I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chobar: and I understood that they were cherubims.
21 Kerub-kerub itu masing-masing mempunyai empat wajah, dua pasang sayap, dan juga sesuatu yang seperti tangan manusia di bawah sayap-sayap itu.
Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings: and the likeness of a man’s hand was under their wings.
22 Wajah mereka serupa pula dengan wajah kerub-kerub yang kulihat di tepi Sungai Kebar. Masing-masing berjalan lurus ke depan.
And as to the likeness of their faces, they were the same faces which I had seen by the river Chobar, and their looks, and the impulse of every one to go straight forward.
