Hiezechielis Prophetæ 10
1 et vidi et ecce in firmamento quod erat super caput cherubin quasi lapis sapphyrus quasi species similitudinis solii apparuit super ea
And as I looked, beholde, in the firmament that was aboue the head of the Cherubims there appeared vpon them like vnto the similitude of a throne, as it were a saphir stone.
2 et dixit ad virum qui indutus erat lineis et ait ingredere in medio rotarum quae sunt subtus cherub et imple manum tuam prunis ignis quae sunt inter cherubin et effunde super civitatem ingressusque est in conspectu meo
And he spake vnto the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in betweene the wheeles, euen vnder the Cherub, and fill thine hands with coales of fire from betweene the Cherubims, and scatter the ouer the citie. And he went in in my sight.
3 cherubin autem stabant a dextris domus cum ingrederetur vir et nubes implevit atrium interius
Now the Cherubims stood vpon the right side of the house, when the man went in, and the cloude filled the inner court.
4 et elevata est gloria Domini desuper cherub ad limen domus et repleta est domus nube et atrium repletum est splendore gloriae Domini
Then the glorie of the Lord went vp from the Cherub, and stoode ouer the doore of the house, and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was filled with the brightnesse of the Lordes glorie.
5 et sonitus alarum cherubin audiebatur usque ad atrium exterius quasi vox Dei omnipotentis loquentis
And the sound of the Cherubims wings was heard into the vtter court, as the voyce of the Almightie God, when he speaketh.
6 cumque praecepisset viro qui indutus erat lineis dicens sume ignem de medio rotarum quae sunt inter cherubin ingressus ille stetit iuxta rotam
And when he had commanded the man clothed with linnen, saying, Take fire from betweene the wheeles, and from betweene ye Cherubims, then he went in and stood beside ye wheele.
7 et extendit cherub manum de medio cherubin ad ignem qui erat inter cherubin et sumpsit et dedit in manus eius qui indutus erat lineis qui accipiens egressus est
And one Cherub stretched forth his hand from betweene the Cherubims vnto the fire, that was betweene the Cherubims, and tooke thereof, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linnen: who tooke it and went out.
8 et apparuit in cherubin similitudo manus hominis subtus pinnas eorum
And there appeared in the Cherubims, the likenesse of a mans hande vnder their wings.
9 et vidi et ecce quattuor rotae iuxta cherubin rota una iuxta cherub unum et rota alia iuxta cherub unum species autem erat rotarum quasi visio lapidis chrysoliti
And when I looked vp, beholde, foure wheeles were beside the Cherubims, one wheele by one Cherub, and another wheele by another Cherub, and the appearance of the wheeles was as the colour of a Chrysolite stone.
10 et aspectus earum similitudo una quattuor quasi sit rota in medio rotae
And their appearance (for they were all foure of one facion) was as if one wheele had bene in another wheele.
11 cumque ambularent in quattuor partes gradiebantur non revertebantur ambulantes sed ad locum ad quem ire declinabat quae prima erat sequebantur et ceterae nec convertebantur
When they went foorth, they went vpon their foure sides, and they returned not as they went: but to the place whither the first went, they went after it, and they turned not as they went.
12 et omne corpus earum et colla et manus et pinnae et circuli plena erant oculis in circuitu quattuor rotarum
And their whole bodie, and their rings, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheeles were full of eyes round about, euen in the same foure wheeles.
13 et rotas istas vocavit volubiles audiente me
And the Cherub cryed to these wheeles in mine hearing, saying, O wheele.
14 quattuor autem facies habebat unum facies una facies cherub et facies secunda facies hominis et in tertio facies leonis et in quarto facies aquilae
And euery beast had foure faces: the first face was the face of a Cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the thirde the face of a lyon, and the fourth the face of an Egle.
15 et elevata sunt cherubin ipsum est animal quod videram iuxta flumen Chobar
And the Cherubims were lifted vp: this is the beast that I sawe at the riuer Chebar.
16 cumque ambularent cherubin ibant pariter et rotae iuxta ea et cum levarent cherubin alas suas ut exaltarentur de terra non residebant rotae sed et ipsae iuxta erant
And when ye Cherubims went, the wheeles went by them: and when the Cherubims lift vp their wings to mount vp from the earth, the same wheeles also turned not from beside them.
17 stantibus illis stabant et cum elevatis elevabantur spiritus enim vitae erat in eis
When the Cherubims stoode, they stood: and when they were lifted vp, they lifted the selues vp also: for the spirit of the beast was in them.
18 et egressa est gloria Domini a limine templi et stetit super cherubin
Then the glorie of the Lord departed from aboue the doore of the house, and stoode vpon the Cherubims.
19 et elevantia cherubin alas suas exaltata sunt a terra coram me et illis egredientibus rotae quoque subsecutae sunt et stetit in introitu portae domus Domini orientalis et gloria Dei Israhel erat super ea
And the Cherubims lift vp their wings, and mounted vp from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheeles also were besides them: and euery one stoode at the entrie of the gate of the Lordes House at the East side, and the glorie of the God of Israel was vpon them on hie.
20 ipsum est animal quod vidi subter Deum Israhel iuxta fluvium Chobar et intellexi quia cherubin essent
This is the beast that I sawe vnder the God of Israel by the riuer Chebar, and I knewe that they were the Cherubims.
21 quattuor per quattuor vultus uni et quattuor alae uni et similitudo manus hominis sub alis eorum
Euery one had foure faces, and euery one foure wings, and the likenesse of mans hands was vnder their wings.
22 et similitudo vultuum eorum ipsi vultus quos videram iuxta fluvium Chobar et intuitus eorum et impetus singulorum ante faciem suam ingredi
And the likenesse of their faces was the selfe same faces, which I sawe by the riuer Chebar, and the appearance of the Cherubims was ye selfe same, and they went euery one straight forwarde.
