Yehezkiel 10
1 Lalu aku melihat, sungguh, di atas cakrawala yang di atas kepala kerub tampak di atas mereka sesuatu yang menyerupai takhta, yang seperti permata lazurit kelihatannya.
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 Maka Ia berkata kepada orang yang berpakaian lenan itu: "Masuklah ke bawah kerub dari antara roda-rodanya dan penuhilah rangkup tanganmu dengan bara api dari tengah-tengah kerub itu dan hamburkan ke atas kota itu." Lalu aku melihat dia masuk.
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 Kerub-kerub itu berdiri di sebelah selatan Bait Suci, waktu orang itu masuk ke tengah-tengah roda-rodanya; dan segumpal awan memenuhi pelataran dalam.
And the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in, and a cloud filled the inner court.
4 Dalam pada itu kemuliaan TUHAN naik dari atas kerub dan pergi ke atas ambang pintu Bait Suci, dan Bait Suci ini dipenuhi oleh awan itu dan pelatarannya penuh dengan sinar kemuliaan TUHAN.
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 Suara sayap kerub itu terdengar sampai pelataran luar seperti suara ALLAH Yang Mahakuasa, kalau Ia berfirman.
And the sound of the wings of the cherubims was heard even to the outward court as the voice of God Almighty speaking.
6 Ia memerintahkan kepada orang yang berpakaian lenan itu: "Ambillah api dari tengah-tengah roda-rodanya, dari tengah-tengah kerub itu!" Maka yang berpakaian lenan ini pergi 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 seorang kerub itu mengulurkan tangannya dari tengah kerub-kerub ke api yang ada di tengah-tengah mereka, diambilnya sedikit dan ditaruhnya di dalam tangan orang yang berpakaian lenan. Orang ini menerimanya dan 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 Pada kerub-kerub itu tampak yang menyerupai tangan manusia di bawah sayap mereka.
And there appeared in the cherubims the likeness of a man’s hand under their wings.
9 Aku melihat, sungguh, di samping kerub-kerub itu terdapat empat roda, satu roda di samping seorang kerub, dan roda-roda ini kelihatannya seperti kilauan permata pirus.
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:
10 Kelihatannya keempatnya adalah serupa, seolah-olah roda yang satu di tengah-tengah yang lain.
And as to their appearance, all four were alike: as if a wheel were in the midst of a wheel.
11 Kalau mereka berjalan mereka dapat menuju keempat jurusan tanpa berbalik kalau berjalan; karena tempat mana yang dituju oleh yang di muka, ke situlah pergi yang lain-lain, tanpa berbalik kalau berjalan.
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 badan mereka, punggungnya, tangannya, sayapnya, dan roda-rodanya penuh dengan mata sekelilingnya, ya, roda-roda mereka berempat juga.
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-rodanya disebut "puting beliung".
And these wheels he called voluble, in my hearing.
14 Masing-masing mempunyai empat muka: muka yang pertama ialah muka kerub, yang kedua ialah muka manusia, yang ketiga ialah muka singa dan yang keempat ialah muka 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 itu naik ke atas. Itulah makhluk-makhluk hidup yang dahulu kulihat di tepi sungai Kebar.
And the cherubims were lifted up: this is the living creature that I had seen by the river Chobar.
16 Kalau kerub-kerub itu berjalan, roda-roda itu juga berjalan di samping mereka; kalau kerub-kerub itu mengangkat sayapnya untuk terbang dari tanah, roda-roda itu tidak bergerak dari samping mereka.
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.
17 Kalau kerub-kerub itu berhenti, roda-roda itu berhenti, kalau kerub-kerub itu naik ke atas, roda-roda itu sama-sama naik dengan mereka; sebab roh makhluk-makhluk hidup itu ialah di dalam roda-roda itu.
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 kemuliaan TUHAN pergi dari ambang pintu Bait Suci dan hinggap di atas kerub-kerub.
And the glory of the Lord went forth from the threshold of the temple: and stood over the cherubims.
19 Dan kerub-kerub itu mengangkat sayap mereka, dan waktu mereka pergi, aku lihat, mereka naik dari tanah dan roda-rodanya bersama-sama dengan mereka. Lalu mereka berhenti dekat pintu gerbang rumah TUHAN yang di sebelah timur, sedang kemuliaan Allah Israel berada 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 Itulah makhluk-makhluk hidup yang dahulu kulihat di bawah Allah Israel di tepi sungai Kebar. Dan aku mengerti, bahwa mereka adalah kerub-kerub.
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 Masing-masing mempunyai empat muka dan bagi masing-masing ada empat sayap dan di bawah sayap mereka ada yang berbentuk tangan manusia.
Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings: and the likeness of a man’s hand was under their wings.
22 Kelihatannya muka mereka adalah serupa dengan muka yang kulihat di tepi sungai Kebar. Masing-masing berjalan lurus ke mukanya.
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.
