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 [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 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.
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 Ketika ia masuk, kerub-kerub itu sedang berdiri di sebelah selatan Rumah TUHAN. Segumpal awan memenuhi pelataran dalam dan seluruh Rumah TUHAN.
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 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/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 Bunyi kepakan sayap kerub-kerub itu terdengar sampai ke pelataran luar, seperti suara Allah Yang Mahakuasa.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Aku melihat bahwa di bawah sayap setiap kerub itu ada sesuatu yang berbentuk tangan manusia.
Under the wings of the winged creatures was something that resembled a human’s hands.
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.
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.
The wheels were all alike: Each had one wheel inside another wheel.
11 Dengan demikian kerub-kerub itu dapat menuju ke empat jurusan. Mereka dapat pergi ke mana saja mereka suka, tanpa memutar tubuhnya.
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 Seluruh tubuh mereka, punggungnya, tangannya, sayapnya dan roda-roda pun penuh dengan mata.
Their bodies, including their backs and hands and wings, were covered with eyes. The wheels were also covered with eyes.
13 Aku dengar bahwa roda-roda itu disebut "puting beliung".
I heard someone call them ‘the whirling wheels’.
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.
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 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.
Then the winged creatures rose up. They were the same living creatures that I had seen alongside the Kebar River/Canal.
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.
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 Lalu cahaya kemilau yang menandakan kehadiran TUHAN meninggalkan pintu masuk Rumah TUHAN dan pindah ke atas kerub-kerub itu.
Then the (glory/dazzling light) left the entrance of the temple and stopped above the winged creatures.
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.
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 Aku teringat bahwa itulah kerub-kerub yang dahulu kulihat ada di bawah Allah Israel, di tepi Sungai Kebar.
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 Kerub-kerub itu masing-masing mempunyai empat wajah, dua pasang sayap, dan juga sesuatu yang seperti tangan manusia di bawah sayap-sayap itu.
Each of them had four faces and four wings, and under their wings was what resembled a human’s hands.
22 Wajah mereka serupa pula dengan wajah kerub-kerub yang kulihat di tepi Sungai Kebar. Masing-masing berjalan lurus ke depan.
Their faces were the same as the faces that I had seen at the Kebar River/Canal. Each of them flew straight ahead.
