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.
Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubims there appeared over them as it were a 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 spake unto the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, even under the cherub, and fill thine hand with coals of fire from between the cherubims, and scatter them over 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.
Now the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the 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.
Then the glory of YHWH went up from the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of YHWH 's glory.
5 Bunyi kepakan sayap kerub-kerub itu terdengar sampai ke pelataran luar, seperti suara Allah Yang Mahakuasa.
And the sound of the cherubims' wings was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of El-Shaddai when he speaketh.
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 it came to pass, that when he had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubims; then he went in, and stood beside the wheels.
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 forth his hand from between the cherubims unto the fire that was between the cherubims, and took thereof, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linen: who took it, and went out.
8 Aku melihat bahwa di bawah sayap setiap kerub itu ada sesuatu yang berbentuk tangan manusia.
And there appeared in the cherubims the form 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 when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubims, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was as the colour of a beryl stone.
And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been 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.
When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not as they went, but to the place whither the head looked they followed it; they turned not as they went.
12 Seluruh tubuh mereka, punggungnya, tangannya, sayapnya dan roda-roda pun penuh dengan mata.
And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about, even the wheels that they four had.
13 Aku dengar bahwa roda-roda itu disebut "puting beliung".
As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O wheel.
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: the first face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and 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 saw by the river of Chebar.
And when the cherubims went, the wheels went by them: and when the cherubims lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also turned not from beside them.
When they stood, these stood; and when they were lifted up, these lifted up themselves also: for the spirit of the living creature was in them.
18 Lalu cahaya kemilau yang menandakan kehadiran TUHAN meninggalkan pintu masuk Rumah TUHAN dan pindah ke atas kerub-kerub itu.
Then the glory of YHWH departed from off the threshold of the house, 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 lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also were beside them, and every one stood at the door of the east gate of YHWH 's house; and the glory of the Elohim of Israel was over them above.
20 Aku teringat bahwa itulah kerub-kerub yang dahulu kulihat ada di bawah Allah Israel, di tepi Sungai Kebar.
This is the living creature that I saw under the Elohim of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they were the 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.
Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man 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 the likeness of their faces was the same faces which I saw by the river of Chebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one straight forward.
