Ezeekyeri 10
1 Ne ntunula, laba, ekifaananyi eky’entebe ey’obwakabaka eya safiro nga kiri waggulu w’ekibangirizi w’emitwe gya bakerubi.
Then [in the vision] I saw what resembled a throne made of (sapphire/[a very valuable] blue stone). It was above the thing that resembled a dome that was above the heads of the four winged creatures.
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.
Yahweh said to the man wearing the linen robe, “Go between the wheels that are under the winged creatures. Pick up as many hot coals as you can, and scatter them over the city.” And while I watched, the man wearing the linen robe left.
3 Bakerubi baali bayimiridde ku luuyi olw’Obukiikaddyo obwa yeekaalu; omusajja bwe yayingira ekire ne kijjula mu luggya olw’omunda.
The four winged creatures were standing on the south side of the temple when the man wearing the linen robe entered. Then a cloud filled the inner courtyard [of the temple area].
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/dazzling light) of Yahweh rose up from above the winged creatures and went to the entrance of the temple. The cloud filled the temple, and the courtyard was full of the (glory/dazzling light) of Yahweh.
5 N’okuwuuma kw’ebiwaawaatiro bya bakerubi ne kuwulikika wala mu luggya olw’ebweru, ng’eddoboozi lya Mukama ow’Eggye bwe liwulikika ng’ayogedde.
The sound made by the wings of the winged creatures could be heard as far away as the courtyard outside the temple. It [very loud], like [SIM] the voice of Almighty God when he speaks.
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.
When Yahweh commanded the man wearing the linen robe to take burning coals from among those winged creatures, the man went [the courtyard] and stood beside one of the wheels.
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.
Then one of those winged creatures reached out his hand to the fire that was there among them. He picked up some of the coals and put them in the hands of the man wearing the linen robe, and that man took them and left.
8 Wansi w’ebiwaawaatiro bya bakerubi waalabika ng’awaali emikono gy’omuntu.
Under the wings of the winged creatures was something that resembled a human’s hands.
9 Ne ndaba zinnamuziga nnya ku mabbali ga bakerubi buli nnamuziga ng’eriraanye kerubi, zinnamuziga nga ziyakaayakana ng’ejjinja erya berulo.
Then [in the vision] I saw four wheels alongside the winged creatures. There was one wheel beside each of the winged creatures. The wheels shone like [SIM] very valuable stones.
10 Mu ndabika nga zifaanagana, nnamuziga emu ng’eri ng’etudde mu ginnaayo.
The wheels were all alike: Each had one wheel inside another wheel.
11 Mu kuseeseetuka, zaaseeseetukanga mu njuyi nnya bakerubi gye baatunulanga, era zinnamuziga z’omu maaso gye zaayiringitiranga, n’endala zonna gye zaayiringitiranga.
Whenever they moved, they went straight in whatever direction one of the winged creatures faced. The wheels did not turn in another direction while the winged creatures flew.
12 Omubiri gwabwe gwonna, n’emigongo gyabwe, n’emikono gyabwe, n’ebiwaawaatiro byabwe, ne zinnamuziga, nga zijjudde amaaso enjuuyi zonna.
Their bodies, including their backs and hands and wings, were covered with eyes. The wheels were also covered with eyes.
13 Ne mpulira zinnamuziga nga ziyitibwa “ezeetooloola eziwulukuka.”
I heard someone call them ‘the whirling wheels’.
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.
Each of the winged creatures had four faces. One face was like the face of a bull, one face was like the face of a human, one face was like the face of a lion, and one face was like the face of an eagle.
15 Awo bakerubi ne basituka. Bye biramu bye nalaba ku mabbali g’omugga Kebali.
Then the winged creatures rose up. They were the same living creatures that I had seen alongside the Kebar River/Canal.
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.
When the winged creatures moved, the wheels moved with them. When the winged creatures spread their wings to fly over the ground, the wheels did not leave them.
17 Bakerubi bwe baayimiriranga, nazo ne ziyimirira; bakerubi bwe baasitukanga, nnamuziga ne zisitukira wamu nabo, kubanga omwoyo ow’ebiramu yali mu zo.
When the winged creatures stopped, the wheels stopped. When the winged creatures started to fly, the wheels flew with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
18 Awo ekitiibwa kya Mukama ne kiva ku mulyango gwa yeekaalu ne kiyimirira waggulu wa bakerubi.
Then the (glory/dazzling light) left the entrance of the temple and stopped above the winged creatures.
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.
While I watched, the winged creatures spread their wings and started to fly, and the wheels went with them. They stopped at the gate on the east side of the temple area, and the (glory/dazzling light) of God, the one whom the [had worshiped], was above them.
20 Era ebyo bye biramu bye nalaba wansi wa Katonda wa Isirayiri ku mugga Kebali, olwo ne ntegeera nga bakerubi.
Those were the [same] four living creatures that I had seen alongside the Kebar River/Canal, and I realized that they were the winged creatures.
21 Buli omu yalina obwenyi buna n’ebiwaawaatiro bina, ne wansi w’ebiwaawaatiro byabwe nga waliyo ebyali ng’emikono gy’omuntu.
Each of them had four faces and four wings, and under their wings was what resembled a human’s hands.
22 Obwenyi bwabwe bwanfaananira nga buli bwe nalaba ku mugga Kebali. Buli omu n’atambula n’agenda mu maaso.
Their faces were the same as the faces that I had seen at the Kebar River/Canal. Each of them flew straight ahead.
