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 lo, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubs there appeared over them as it were a sapphire-stone, in form like 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。
and He spake to the man that was clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels under the cherub, and fill thy hands with coals of fire, which are between the cherubs, and scatter them over the city. And he went in before my eyes.
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 cherubs stood upon 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。
And the glory of Jehovah was lifted up from 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 Jehovah.
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。
And the sound of the wings of the cherubs was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of God, the Almighty, when he speaketh.
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。
And when he commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubs, he went in and stood beside the wheels.
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。
And one cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubs to the fire that was between the cherubs, and took thereof, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with 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。
And there was seen in the cherubs the form of a man's hand 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。
And when I looked, behold, four wheels were by the cherubs, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub; and the appearance of the wheels was like that of a chrysolite.
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。
And as to their appearance, all four had one form, as if a wheel were in the midst of 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 upon their four sides; they turned not about when they went; but to the place whither the head looked they followed it, they turned not about when 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。
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 which they four 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。
And as to these wheels, each one of them in my hearing was called Whirlwind.
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。
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 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。
And the cherubs were lifted up. They were the living creatures which 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。
And when the cherubs went, the wheels went with them; and when the cherubs lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels turned not away from their side.
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; and when they were lifted up, these were liked up with them. For the spirit of the living creatures 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。
Then the glory of Jehovah departed from the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubs.
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。
And the cherubs lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight, as they went out, and the wheels were beside them. And they stood at the entrance of the east gate of the house of Jehovah, 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。
They were the living creatures which I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and I knew that they were the cherubs.
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, and the form of a man's hand 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。
And as for the form of their faces, they were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves. They went every one straight forward.
