< 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.
And I look, and lo, on the expanse that [is] above the head of the cherubs, as a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne, He hath been seen 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.
And He speaketh unto the man clothed with linen, and saith, 'Go in unto the midst of the wheel, unto the place of the cherub, and fill thy hands with coals of fire from between the cherubs, and scatter over the city.' And he goeth 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.
And the cherubs are standing on the right side of the house, at the going in of the man, and the cloud hath 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.
and become high doth the honour of Jehovah above the cherub, over the threshold of the house, and the house is filled with the cloud, and the court hath been filled with the brightness of the honour of Jehovah.
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 a noise of the wings of the cherubs hath been heard unto the outer court, as the voice of God — the Mighty One — in His speaking.
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 cometh to pass, in His commanding the man clothed with linen, saying, 'Take fire from between the wheel, from between the cherubs,' and he goeth in and standeth near 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.
that the [one] cherub putteth forth his hand from between the cherubs unto the fire that [is] between the cherubs, and lifteth up, and giveth into the hands of him who is clothed with linen, and he receiveth, and cometh forth.
8 Na se ya mapapu ya basheribe, elilingi moko emonanaki lokola maboko ya moto.
And there appeareth in the cherubs the form of a hand of 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.
and I look, and lo, four wheels near the cherubs, one wheel near the one cherub, and another wheel near the other cherub, and the appearance of the wheels [is] as the colour of a beryl stone.
10 Bapine yango minei ezalaki ndenge moko, ezalaki komonana lokola moko kati na mosusu.
As to their appearances, one likeness [is] to them four, as it were the wheel in the midst of the 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.
In their going, on their four sides they go; they turn not round in their going, for to the place whither the head turneth, after it they go, they turn not round in their going.
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 backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, are full of eyes round about; to them four [are] their wheels.
13 Nayokaki ete bazali kobenga bapine yango « bapine ya mopepe ya kayina. »
To the wheels — to them is one calling in mine ears, '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 four faces [are] to each; the face of the one [is] the face of the cherub, and the face of the second the face of man, and of the third the face of a lion, and of 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 cherubs are lifted up, it [is] the living creature that I saw 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.
And in the going of the cherubs, the wheels go beside them; and in the cherubs lifting up their wings to be high above the earth, the wheels turn not round, even they, from being 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.
In their standing they stand, and in their exaltation they are exalted with them: for the living spirit [is] in them.
18 Nkembo ya Yawe elongwaki na ekotelo ya Tempelo mpe ekendeki kotelema na likolo ya basheribe.
And go forth doth the honour of Jehovah from off the threshold of the house, and standeth over the cherubs,
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 cherubs lift up their wings, and are lifted up from the earth before mine eyes; in their going forth, the wheels also [are] over-against them, and he standeth at the opening of the east gate of the house of Jehovah, and the honour of the God of Israel [is] over them from above.
20 Ezalaki nde bikelamu ya bomoi oyo namonaki na se ya Nzambe ya Isalaele pembeni ya Kebari; mpe nasosolaki ete ezali basheribe.
It [is] the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar, and I know that they are cherubs.
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 [are] to each, and four wings to each, and the likeness of the hands of man [is] under their wings.
22 Bilongi na bango ezalaki ndenge moko na oyo namonaki pene ya Kebari. Moko na moko azalaki kotambola kaka liboso.
As to the likeness of their faces, they [are] the faces that I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves; each straight forward they go.
