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.
As I looked toward the dome that was over the heads of the cherubim; something appeared above them like a sapphire with 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.
Then Yahweh spoke to the man dressed in linen and said, “Go between the wheels underneath the cherubim, and fill both your hands with fiery coals from between the cherubim and scatter them over the city.” Then the man went in as I watched.
3 Ketika ia masuk, kerub-kerub itu sedang berdiri di sebelah selatan Rumah TUHAN. Segumpal awan memenuhi pelataran dalam dan seluruh Rumah TUHAN.
The cherubim stood on the right side of the house when the man went in, and a cloud filled the inner courtyard.
4 Cahaya kemilau yang menandakan kehadiran TUHAN memancar dari kerub-kerub itu dan pindah ke pintu masuk Rumah TUHAN, sehingga pelatarannya menjadi terang-benderang.
The glory of Yahweh rose up from the cherubim and stood over the threshold of the house. It filled the house with the cloud, and the courtyard was full of the brightness of Yahweh's glory.
5 Bunyi kepakan sayap kerub-kerub itu terdengar sampai ke pelataran luar, seperti suara Allah Yang Mahakuasa.
The sound of the cherubim's wings was heard as far as the outer courtyard, like the voice of God Almighty 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.
It came about, when God commanded the man dressed in linen and said, “Take fire from between the wheels that are between the cherubim,” the man went in and stood beside a 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.
A cherub reached out his hand between the cherubim to the fire that was among the cherubim, and lifted it up and placed it into the hands of the one dressed in linen. The man took it and went back out.
8 Aku melihat bahwa di bawah sayap setiap kerub itu ada sesuatu yang berbentuk tangan manusia.
I saw on the cherubim something like 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.
So I looked, and behold! Four wheels were beside the cherubim—one wheel beside each cherub—and the appearance of the wheels was like a beryl stone.
Their appearance was the same likeness for all four of them, like a wheel intersecting another 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 moved, they went in any of their four directions, without turning as they went; but whatever direction the head faced, they followed after it without turning as they went.
12 Seluruh tubuh mereka, punggungnya, tangannya, sayapnya dan roda-roda pun penuh dengan mata.
Their whole body—including their backs, their hands, and their wings—was covered with eyes, and eyes covered the four wheels all around also.
13 Aku dengar bahwa roda-roda itu disebut "puting beliung".
As I listened, the wheels were called, “Whirling.”
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.
They had four faces each; the first face was the face of a cherub, the second face was the face of a man, 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.
Then the cherubim—these were the living creatures that I had seen by the Kebar Canal—rose up.
Whenever the cherubim moved, the wheels would go beside them, and whenever the cherubim lifted up their wings to rise up from the earth, the wheels did not turn. They still stayed beside them.
When the cherubim stood still, the wheels stood still, and when they rose up, the wheels rose up with them, for the spirit of the living creature 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 of Yahweh went out from over the threshold of the house and stood over the cherubim.
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.
The cherubim lifted up their wings and rose from the earth in my sight when they went out, and the wheels did the same beside them. They stood at the eastern entrance to Yahweh's house, and the glory of the God of Israel came upon them from above.
20 Aku teringat bahwa itulah kerub-kerub yang dahulu kulihat ada di bawah Allah Israel, di tepi Sungai Kebar.
These were the living creatures that I had seen below the God of Israel by the Kebar Canal, so I knew that they were cherubim!
21 Kerub-kerub itu masing-masing mempunyai empat wajah, dua pasang sayap, dan juga sesuatu yang seperti tangan manusia di bawah sayap-sayap itu.
They had four faces each and four wings each, and the likeness of human hands 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 like the faces that I had seen in the vision at the Kebar Canal, and each of them went straight ahead.
