Ezekieli 10
1 Tango natalaki, namonaki na mapata, na likolo ya mito ya basheribe, eloko moko lokola libanga ya talo oyo babengaka safiri; mpe na likolo ya libanga yango, eloko moko ezalaki komonana lokola kiti ya bokonzi.
Then looked I and lo! in the expanse which was over the head of the cherubim as a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne, appeared over them.
2 Yawe alobaki na moto oyo alataki bilamba ya lino: « Leka kati na bapine oyo ezali na se ya basheribe, tondisa maboko na yo na makala ya moto oyo okozwa kati na basheribe mpe panza yango na engumba. » Mpe asalaki bongo na miso na ngai.
Then said he unto the man clothed in linen—then said he Go in between the whirling wheels, even under the cherub, and fill both thy hands with live coals of fire from between the cherubim, and throw over the city. So he went in before mine eyes.
3 Nzokande, basheribe bazalaki na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali ya Tempelo tango moto wana akotaki, mpe lipata moko etondisaki lopango na yango ya kati.
Now the cherubim were standing on the right side of the house when the man went in, —and, the, cloud filled the inner court,
4 Nkembo ya Yawe elongwaki na likolo ya basheribe mpe ekendeki na ekotelo ya Tempelo. Tempelo etondaki na lipata, mpe lopango na yango ya kati etondaki na kongenga ya Nkembo ya Yawe.
Then arose the glory of Yahweh from off the cherub, unto 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 Yahweh.
5 Makelele ya mapapu ya basheribe ezalaki koyokana na mosika kino na lopango ya libanda ya Tempelo lokola mongongo ya Nzambe-Na-Nguya-Nyonso, tango alobaka.
And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard, as far as the outer court, —like the voice of the Almighty GOD when he speaketh,
6 Tango Yawe apesaki mitindo na moto oyo alataki bilamba ya lino: « Kamata moto kati na bapine mpe kati na basheribe, » moto yango akotaki mpe atelemaki pembeni ya pine moko.
So then it came to pass— when he commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim, then went he in and stood beside the wheel.
7 Bongo moko kati na basheribe asembolaki loboko na ye kino na moto oyo ezalaki na kati-kati na bango; akamataki ndambo ya makala ya moto kati na moto mpe atiaki yango kati na maboko ya moto oyo alataki bilamba ya lino. Moto yango azwaki yango mpe abimaki na libanda.
And the cherub put forth his hand from between the cherubim unto the fire that was between the cherubim, and took up thereof and gave into the hands of him who was clothed with linen, —who took [it] and went forth,
8 Na se ya mapapu ya basheribe, elilingi moko emonanaki lokola maboko ya moto.
Now the cherubim appeared to have. the likeness of the hand of a man, under their wings.
9 Tango natalaki, namonaki bapine minei pene ya basheribe: pine moko pembeni ya sheribe moko; bongo bapine yango ezalaki kongenga lokola libanga ya Krizolite.
Then looked I. and lo! four wheels by the cherubim—one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub, —and the appearance of the wheels was to look upon like a Tarshish stone;
10 Bapine yango minei ezalaki ndenge moko, ezalaki komonana lokola moko kati na mosusu.
and as for their appearance, one likeness, had they four, -as might be a wheel in the midst of a wheel.
11 Soki ezali kotambola, ekendaka na bangambo nyonso minei oyo elongi ya basheribe ekotala; mpe bapine yango ezalaki kotengama te soki basheribe bazali kotambola. Basheribe bazalaki kokende na bangambo nyonso oyo bilongi na bango ezalaki kotala, mpe bazalaki kobaluka na bangambo mosusu te.
When they went, upon their four sides, they went, they turned not when they went, for to the place whithersoever the head turned, after it, they went, they turned not when they went.
12 Nzoto mobimba ya moko na moko kati na bango, ezala mokongo to maboko to mpe mapapu na bango, ezalaki etonda na miso, ndenge bapine na bango minei ezalaki.
And all their flesh, and their back, and their hands and their wings, and the wheels were full of eyes round about, even their wheels which they four had
13 Nayokaki ete bazali kobenga bapine yango « bapine ya mopepe ya kayina. »
To the wheels—to them, was made the cry— O whirling wheel! in mine ears.
14 Sheribe moko na moko azalaki na bilongi minei: elongi ya liboso ezalaki lokola elongi ya sheribe, ya mibale lokola elongi ya moto, ya misato lokola elongi ya nkosi mpe ya minei lokola elongi ya mpongo.
And four faces had each one, —the first face, was the face of a cherub, and, the second face, was the face of a man and the third was the face of a lion. and the fourth, was the face of an eagle.
15 Bongo basheribe bapumbwaki na likolo makasi. Ezalaki bikelamu ya bomoi oyo namonaki pembeni ya ebale Kebari.
Then arose the cherubim, —the same, was the living one, which I had seen by the river Chebar.
16 Soki basheribe bazali kotambola, bapine oyo ezalaki na mipanzi na bango ezalaki mpe kotambola. Soki bafungoli mapapu na bango mpo na kopumbwa longwa na se, bapine yango mpe ezalaki kokabwana na bango te, kasi nde ezalaki ya kokangana na mipanzi na bango.
When the cherubim went, then went the wheels beside them, —and when the cherubim lifted up their wings, to arise from off the earth, the wheels themselves turned not from beside them;
17 Soki basheribe batelemi, yango mpe ezalaki kotelema; soki bapumbwe, yango mpe ezalaki kopumbwa elongo na bango, pamba te molimo ya bikelamu ya bomoi ezalaki kati na yango.
when they stood, these stood, and when they arose, these arose with them, —for, the spirit of the living one, was in them.
18 Nkembo ya Yawe elongwaki na ekotelo ya Tempelo mpe ekendeki kotelema na likolo ya basheribe.
And when the glory of Yahweh went forth from off the threshold of the house, —and stood over the cherubim,
19 Wana nazalaki kotala, basheribe bafungolaki mapapu na bango mpe bapumbwaki longwa na se; mpe tango bazalaki kokende, bapine yango mpe ezalaki kokende elongo na bango. Batelemaki na ekotelo ya Ekuke ya ngambo ya este ya Tempelo ya Yawe, bongo nkembo ya Nzambe ya Isalaele ezalaki likolo na bango.
then the cherubim uplifted their wings and arose from the earth before mine eyes as they went forth, the wheels also in unison with them, —and it stood at the opening of the gate of the house of Yahweh that was toward the east, with the glory of the God of Israel over them, above.
20 Ezalaki nde bikelamu ya bomoi oyo namonaki na se ya Nzambe ya Isalaele pembeni ya Kebari; mpe nasosolaki ete ezali basheribe.
The same, was the living one which I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar, - then knew I that cherubim, they were.
21 Moko na moko kati na bango azalaki na bilongi minei mpe mapapu minei; bongo na se ya mapapu na bango, ezalaki na elilingi moko lokola maboko ya moto.
Four faces severally, had each one, and four wings, had each one, —and the likeness of the hands of a man, was under their wings.
22 Bilongi na bango ezalaki ndenge moko na oyo namonaki pene ya Kebari. Moko na moko azalaki kotambola kaka liboso.
And as for the likeness of their faces, They were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves— every one straight before him, did they go.
