エゼキエル書 10
1 時にわたしは見ていたが、見よ、ケルビムの頭の上の大空に、サファイヤのようなものが王座の形をして、その上に現れた。
Then I looked, and see, in the expanse that was over the head of the cherubim there appeared above them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
2 彼は亜麻布を着たその人に言われた、「ケルビムの下の回る車の間にはいり、ケルビムの間から炭火をとってあなたの手に満たし、これを町中にまき散らせ」。そして彼はわたしの目の前ではいった。
He spoke to the man clothed in linen, and said, “Go in between the whirling wheels, even under the cherub, and fill both your hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city.” He went in as I watched.
3 この人がはいった時、ケルビムは宮の南側に立っていた。また雲はその内庭を満たしていた。
Now the cherubim stood on the right side of the house when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.
4 主の栄光はケルビムの上から宮の敷居の上にあがり、宮は雲で満ち、庭は主の栄光の輝きで満たされた。
The LORD’s glory mounted 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 the LORD’s glory.
5 時にケルビムの翼の音が大能の神が語られる声のように外庭にまで聞えた。
The sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.
6 彼が亜麻布を着ている人に、「回る車の間、ケルビムの間から火を取れ」。と命じた時、その人ははいって、輪のかたわらに立った。
It came to pass, when he commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, “Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim,” that he went in and stood beside a wheel.
7 ひとりのケルブはその手をケルビムの間から伸べて、ケルビムの間にある火を取り、亜麻布を着た人の手に置いた。すると彼はこれを取って出て行った。
The cherub stretched out his hand from between the cherubim to the fire that was between the cherubim, and took some of it, and put it into the hands of him who was clothed in linen, who took it and went out.
8 ケルビムはその翼の下に人の手のような形のものを持っているように見えた。
The form of a man’s hand appeared here in the cherubim under their wings.
9 わたしが見ていると、見よ、ケルビムのかたわらに四つの輪があり、一つの輪はひとりのケルブのかたわらに、他の輪は他のケルブのかたわらにあった。輪のさまは、光る貴かんらん石のようであった。
I looked, and behold, there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside one cherub, and another wheel beside another cherub. The appearance of the wheels was like a beryl stone.
10 そのさまは四つとも同じ形で、あたかも輪の中に輪があるようであった。
As for their appearance, the four of them had one likeness, like a wheel within a wheel.
11 その行く時は四方のどこへでも行く。その行く時は回らない。ただ先頭の輪の向くところに従い、その行く時は回ることをしない。
When they went, they went in their four directions. They did not turn as they went, but to the place where the head looked they followed it. They did not turn as they went.
12 その輪縁、その輻、および輪には、まわりに目が満ちていた。―その輪は四つともこれを持っていた。
Their whole body, including their backs, their hands, their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes all around, even the wheels that the four of them had.
13 その輪はわたしの聞いている所で、「回る輪」と呼ばれた。
As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, “the whirling wheels”.
14 そのおのおのには四つの顔があった。第一の顔はケルブの顔、第二の顔は人の顔、第三はししの顔、第四はわしの顔であった。
Every one of them had four faces. The first face was the face of the cherub. The second face was the face of a man. The third face was the face of a lion. The fourth was the face of an eagle.
15 その時ケルビムはのぼった。これがケバル川でわたしが見た生きものである。
The cherubim mounted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar.
16 ケルビムの行く時、輪もそのかたわらに行き、ケルビムが翼をあげて地から飛びあがる時は、輪もそのかたわらを離れない。
When the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels also did not turn from beside them.
17 その立ちどまる時は、輪も立ちどまり、そののぼる時は、輪も共にのぼる。生きものの霊がその中にあるからである。
When they stood, these stood. When they mounted up, these mounted up with them; for the spirit of the living creature was in them.
18 時に主の栄光が宮の敷居から出て行って、ケルビムの上に立った。
The LORD’s glory went out from over the threshold of the house and stood over the cherubim.
19 するとケルビムは翼をあげて、わたしの目の前で、地からのぼった。その出て行く時、輪もまたこれと共にあり、主の宮の東の門の入口の所へ行って止まった。イスラエルの神の栄光がその上にあった。
The cherubim lifted up their wings and mounted up from the earth in my sight when they went out, with the wheels beside them. Then they stood at the door of the east gate of the LORD’s house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
20 これがすなわちわたしがケバル川のほとりで、イスラエルの神の下に見たかの生きものである。わたしはそれがケルビムであることを知っていた。
This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and I knew that they were cherubim.
21 これにはおのおの四つの顔があり、おのおの四つの翼があり、また人の手のようなものがその翼の下にあった。
Every one had four faces, and every one four wings. The likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.
22 その顔の形は、ケバル川のほとりでわたしが見たそのままの顔である。おのおのその前の方にまっすぐに行った。
As for the likeness of their faces, they were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves. They each went straight forward.
