Ezeekyeri 10
1 Ne ntunula, laba, ekifaananyi eky’entebe ey’obwakabaka eya safiro nga kiri waggulu w’ekibangirizi w’emitwe gya bakerubi.
And I saw, and behold, in the firmament that was over the heads of the cherubim, there appeared above them something like the sapphire stone, with the sight of the likeness of a throne.
2 Mukama n’agamba omusajja ayambadde linena nti, “Genda wakati wa zinnamuziga wansi wa bakerubi, otoole amanda mu mukono gwo okuva wakati mu bakerubi, ogasaasaanye mu kibuga.” N’ayitawo nga ntunula.
And he spoke to the man who was clothed with linen, and he said: “Enter, between the wheels that are under the cherubim, and fill your hand with the coals of fire that are between the cherubim, and pour them upon the city.” And he entered, in my sight.
3 Bakerubi baali bayimiridde ku luuyi olw’Obukiikaddyo obwa yeekaalu; omusajja bwe yayingira ekire ne kijjula mu luggya olw’omunda.
Now the cherubim were standing before the right side of the house, when the man entered. And a cloud filled the inner court.
4 Awo ekitiibwa kya Mukama ne kyambuka okuva waggulu wa bakerubi ne kidda mu mulyango gwa yeekaalu. Ekire ne kijjula mu yeekaalu, n’oluggya ne lujjula okumasamasa okw’ekitiibwa kya Mukama.
And the glory of the Lord was lifted up, from above the cherubim, to the threshold of the house. And the house was filled with the cloud. And the court was filled with the splendor of the glory of the Lord.
5 N’okuwuuma kw’ebiwaawaatiro bya bakerubi ne kuwulikika wala mu luggya olw’ebweru, ng’eddoboozi lya Mukama ow’Eggye bwe liwulikika ng’ayogedde.
And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even in the outer court, like the voice of Almighty God speaking.
6 Mukama bwe yalagira omusajja ayambadde linena nti, “Toola omuliro okuva mu zinnamuziga, wakati mu bakerubi,” omusajja n’ayingira n’ayimirira ku mabbali ga nnamuziga emu.
And when he had instructed the man who was clothed with linen, saying, “Take fire from the midst of the wheels that are between the cherubim,” he entered and stood next to the wheel.
7 Awo omu ku bakerubi n’agolola omukono gwe eri omuliro ogwali wakati wa bakerubi, n’addira ogumu ku gwo, n’aguteeka mu ngalo ez’omusajja ayambadde linena, eyagutwala n’afuluma.
And one cherub extended his hand, from the midst of the cherubim, to the fire that was between the cherubim. And he took and gave it into the hands of the one who was clothed with linen, and he accepted it and went forth.
8 Wansi w’ebiwaawaatiro bya bakerubi waalabika ng’awaali emikono gy’omuntu.
And there appeared amid the cherubim the likeness of the hand of a man, under their wings.
9 Ne ndaba zinnamuziga nnya ku mabbali ga bakerubi buli nnamuziga ng’eriraanye kerubi, zinnamuziga nga ziyakaayakana ng’ejjinja erya berulo.
And I saw, and behold, there were four wheels beside the cherubim. One wheel was next to one cherub, and another wheel was next to another cherub. And the appearance of the wheels was like the sight of the chrysolite stone.
10 Mu ndabika nga zifaanagana, nnamuziga emu ng’eri ng’etudde mu ginnaayo.
And in their appearance, each one of the four were similar, as if a wheel were in the midst of a wheel.
11 Mu kuseeseetuka, zaaseeseetukanga mu njuyi nnya bakerubi gye baatunulanga, era zinnamuziga z’omu maaso gye zaayiringitiranga, n’endala zonna gye zaayiringitiranga.
And when they went, they advanced in four parts. And they did not turn as they went. Instead, to the place to which they were inclined to go at first, the rest also followed, and they did not turn back.
12 Omubiri gwabwe gwonna, n’emigongo gyabwe, n’emikono gyabwe, n’ebiwaawaatiro byabwe, ne zinnamuziga, nga zijjudde amaaso enjuuyi zonna.
And their entire body, with their necks and their hands and their wings and the circles, were full of eyes all around the four wheels.
13 Ne mpulira zinnamuziga nga ziyitibwa “ezeetooloola eziwulukuka.”
And in my hearing, he called these wheels: “constantly changing.”
14 Buli emu ku zo yalina obwenyi buna: obwenyi obw’olubereberye bwali bwa kerubi, obwokubiri nga bwa musajja, obwokusatu nga bwa mpologoma, obwokuna nga bwa mpungu.
Now each one had four faces. One face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and in the third was the face of a lion, and in the fourth was the face of an eagle.
15 Awo bakerubi ne basituka. Bye biramu bye nalaba ku mabbali g’omugga Kebali.
And the cherubim were lifted up. This is the living creature, which I had seen beside the river Chebar.
16 Bakerubi bwe baaseeseetukanga, zinnamuziga ezaali ku mabbali ne ziseeseetukira wamu nabo; bakerubi bwe baayanjuluzanga ebiwaawaatiro byabwe okusituka okuva ku ttaka, zinnamuziga nazo tezaavanga ku lusegere.
And when the cherubim advanced, the wheels also went beside them. And when the cherubim lifted up their wings in order to be raised up from the earth, the wheels did not remain behind, but they also were beside them.
17 Bakerubi bwe baayimiriranga, nazo ne ziyimirira; bakerubi bwe baasitukanga, nnamuziga ne zisitukira wamu nabo, kubanga omwoyo ow’ebiramu yali mu zo.
When they were standing, these stood still. And when they were lifted up, these were lifted up. For the spirit of life was in them.
18 Awo ekitiibwa kya Mukama ne kiva ku mulyango gwa yeekaalu ne kiyimirira waggulu wa bakerubi.
And the glory of the Lord went forth from the threshold of the temple, and stood above the cherubim.
19 Ne ndaba bakerubi nga bayanjuluza ebiwaawaatiro byabwe, ne basituka okuva ku ttaka, ne zinnamuziga nazo ne zigendera ku mabbali gaabwe. Ne bayimirira awayingirirwa ku luggi olw’ebuvanjuba olwa yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’ekitiibwa kya Katonda owa Isirayiri nga kiri waggulu waabwe.
And the cherubim, lifting up their wings, were raised up from the earth in my sight. And as they went away, the wheels also followed. And it stood at the entrance to the east gate of the house of the Lord. And the glory of the God of Israel was over them.
20 Era ebyo bye biramu bye nalaba wansi wa Katonda wa Isirayiri ku mugga Kebali, olwo ne ntegeera nga bakerubi.
This is the living creature, which I saw under the God of Israel beside the river Chebar. And I understood that they were cherubim.
21 Buli omu yalina obwenyi buna n’ebiwaawaatiro bina, ne wansi w’ebiwaawaatiro byabwe nga waliyo ebyali ng’emikono gy’omuntu.
Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings. And the likeness of the hand of a man was under their wings.
22 Obwenyi bwabwe bwanfaananira nga buli bwe nalaba ku mugga Kebali. Buli omu n’atambula n’agenda mu maaso.
And, concerning the appearance of their faces, these were the same faces that I had seen beside the river Chebar, and the gaze and force of each one of them was to go before his face.
