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 I looked, and behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubim there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
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.
And he spoke to the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, [even] under the cherub, and fill thy hand with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter [them] over the city. And he entered in my sight.
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 stood 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 the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub, [and stood] over the threshhold 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 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 cherubim's wings was heard [even] to the outer court, as 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.
And it came to pass, [that] when he had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubim; then he went in, and stood beside the wheels.
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 [one] cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubim, to the fire that [was] between the cherubim, and took [of it], and put [it] into the hands of [him that was] clothed with linen: who took [it], and went out.
8 Na se ya mapapu ya basheribe, elilingi moko emonanaki lokola maboko ya moto.
And there appeared in the cherubim the form of a man's hand 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.
And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubim, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels [was] as the color of a beryl stone.
10 Bapine yango minei ezalaki ndenge moko, ezalaki komonana lokola moko kati na mosusu.
And [as for] their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been 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, they went upon their four sides; they turned not as they went, but to the place whither the head looked, they followed it; they turned not as 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 their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, [were] full of eyes on every side, [even] the wheels that they four had.
13 Nayokaki ete bazali kobenga bapine yango « bapine ya mopepe ya kayina. »
As for the wheels, it was cried to them in my hearing, O wheel.
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 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 Bongo basheribe bapumbwaki na likolo makasi. Ezalaki bikelamu ya bomoi oyo namonaki pembeni ya ebale Kebari.
And the cherubim were lifted up. This [is] the living creature that I saw by the river of Kebar.
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.
And when the cherubim went, the wheels went by them: and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also 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 were lifted up, [these] lifted up themselves [also]: for the spirit of the living creature [was] in them.
18 Nkembo ya Yawe elongwaki na ekotelo ya Tempelo mpe ekendeki kotelema na likolo ya basheribe.
Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the threshhold 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.
And the cherubim lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also [were] beside them, and [every one] 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 Ezalaki nde bikelamu ya bomoi oyo namonaki na se ya Nzambe ya Isalaele pembeni ya Kebari; mpe nasosolaki ete ezali basheribe.
This [is] the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Kebar; and I knew that they [were] the cherubim.
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.
Every one had four faces each, and every one four wings; 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 the likeness of their faces [was] the same faces which I saw by the river of Kebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one straight forward.
