Ezekiela 10
1 Ary hitako fa, indro, teo ambonin’ ny eloelo izay teo ambonin’ ny lohan’ ny kerobima dia nisy tahaka ny vato safira; tahaka ny endriky ny seza fiandrianana no fijery azy; ary Jehovah niseho teo amboniny.
And I looked and saw above the expanse, above the heads of the cherubim, the likeness of a throne of sapphire.
2 Ary niteny tamin-dralehilahy nitafy rongony fotsy Izy nanao hoe: Midìra eo anelanelan’ ny kodia, dia eo ambanin’ ny kerobima, ary fenoy vain’ afo avy eo anelanelan’ ny kerobima ny tananao roa, ka afafazo amin’ ny tanàna izany. Dia niditra teo imasoko izy.
And the LORD said to the man clothed in linen, “Go inside the wheelwork beneath the cherubim. Fill your hands with burning coals from among the cherubim and scatter them over the city.” And as I watched, he went in.
3 Ary ny kerobima nitsangana teo amin’ ny ankavanan’ ny trano, raha niditra ralehilahy; ary feno ilay rahona ny kianja anatiny.
Now when the man went in, the cherubim were standing on the south side of the temple, and a cloud filled the inner court.
4 Dia niakatra niala teo amin’ ny kerobima ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah ho eo amin’ ny tokonam-baravaran’ ny trano; ary feno ilay rahona ny trano, ary ny kianja dia feno ny famirapiratan’ ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah.
Then the glory of the LORD rose from above the cherubim and stood over the threshold of the temple. The temple was filled with the cloud, and the court was filled with the brightness of the glory of the LORD.
5 Ary ny fikopakopaky ny elatry ny kerobima dia re hatrany amin’ ny kianja ivelany, toy ny feon’ Andriamanitra Tsitoha, raha miteny.
The sound of the wings of the cherubim could be heard as far as the outer court, like the voice of God Almighty when He speaks.
6 Ary rehefa nodidiany ralehilahy nitafy rongony fotsy, nataony hoe: Manalà afo avy eo analenelan’ ny kodia, eo anelanelan’ ny kerobima, dia niditra izy ka nitsangana teo anilan’ ny kodia.
When the LORD commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, “Take fire from within the wheelwork, from among the cherubim,” the man went in and stood beside a wheel.
7 Ary ny kerobima anankiray naninjitra ny tànany avy teo anelanelan’ ny kerobima, tamin’ ny afo Izay teo anelanelan’ ny kerobima, dia nangalany ka nataony teny amin’ ny tànan-droan’ ilay nitafy rongony fotsy; ary rehefa nandray izany ralehilahy, dia nivoaka.
Then one of the cherubim reached out his hand and took some of the fire that was among them. And he put it into the hands of the man clothed in linen, who received it and went out.
8 Ary nisy nitarehin-tànan’ olona niseho teo ambanin’ ny elatry ny kerobima.
(The cherubim appeared to have the form of human hands under their wings.)
9 Ary hitako fa, indreo, nisy kodia efatra teo anilan’ ny kerobima, dia kodia iray avy teo anilan’ ny isan-kerobima; ary ny tarehin’ ny kodia dia toy ny volon’ ny vato krysolita.
Then I looked and saw four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub. And the wheels gleamed like a beryl stone.
10 Ary izy efatra dia nitovy tarehy, toy ny kodia anatin’ ny kodia.
As for their appearance, all four had the same form, like a wheel within a wheel.
11 Raha nandeha izy, dia nandeha tamin’ ny hitsin’ ny lafiny efatra; tsy niherika izy raha nandeha, fa tamin’ ny hitsin’ izay natrehin’ ny lohany ihany no nalehany; tsy niherika izy raha nandeha.
When they moved, they would go in any of the four directions, without turning as they moved. For wherever the head faced, the cherubim would go in that direction, without turning as they moved.
12 Ary feno maso manodidina ny tenany rehetra sy ny lamosiny sy ny tànany sy ny elany mbamin’ ny kodia; izy efatra dia samy nisy kodia avokoa.
Their entire bodies, including their backs, hands, and wings, were full of eyes all around, as were their four wheels.
13 Ny amin’ ny kodia dia reko nisy niantso azy hoe: Ry kodia!
I heard the wheels being called “the whirling wheels.”
14 Ary samy nanana tarehy efatra avy izy: ny tarehin’ ny voalohany dia nitarehin-kerobima, ary ny tarehin’ ny faharoa dia nitarehin’ olona, ary ny fahatelo nitarehin-diona, ary ny fahefatra nitarehim-boromahery.
Each of the cherubim had four faces: the first face was that of a cherub, the second that of a man, the third that of a lion, and the fourth that of an eagle.
15 Ary niakatra ny kerobima. Izany dia ilay zava-manan’ aina hitako teo amoron’ ny ony Kebara ihany.
Then the cherubim rose upward. These were the living creatures I had seen by the River Kebar.
16 Ary raha nandeha ny kerobima, dia mba nandeha teo anilany koa ny kodia; ary raha nasandratry ny kerobima ny elany hiainga tsy hipaka amin’ ny tany, dia tsy nisaraka taminy koa ny kodia.
When the cherubim moved, the wheels moved beside them, and even when they spread their wings to rise from the ground, the wheels did not veer away from their side.
17 Raha nijanona izy, dia mba nijanona koa ireo, ary raha niainga izy, dia mba niainga koa ireo: fa ny fanahin’ ny zava-manan’ aina no tao aminy.
When the cherubim stood still, the wheels also stood still, and when they ascended, the wheels ascended with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
18 Dia niala avy teo ambonin’ ny tokonambaravaran’ ny trano ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah ka nijanona teo ambonin’ ny kerobima.
Then the glory of the LORD moved away from the threshold of the temple and stood above the cherubim.
19 Ary nasandratry ny kerobima ny elany, ka niainga tsy nipaka tamin’ ny tany teo imasoko izy, raha nivoaka, ary teo anilany ny kodia ary samy nijanona teo anoloan’ ny vavahady atsinanana amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah izy ireo; ary ny voninahitr’ Andriamanitry ny Isiraely no teo amboniny.
As I watched, the cherubim lifted their wings and rose up from the ground, with the wheels beside them as they went. And they stopped at the entrance of the east gate of the house of the LORD, with the glory of the God of Israel above them.
20 Izany dia ilay zava-manan’ aina hitako teo ambanin’ Andriamanitry ny Isiraely teo amoron’ ny ony Kebara; ary fantatro fa kerobima ireo.
These were the living creatures I had seen beneath the God of Israel by the River Kebar, and I knew that they were cherubim.
21 Samy nanana tarehy efatra avy izy, sady samy nanana elatra efatra avy koa; ary nisy nitarehin-tànan’ olona teo ambanin’ ny elany.
Each had four faces and four wings, with what looked like human hands under their wings.
22 Ary ny endriky ny tarehiny dia nitovy tamin’ ilay efa hitako teo amoron’ ny ony Kebara ihany, dia ny endriny sy ny tenany; ary ny hitsin’ ny tavany no nalehany.
Their faces looked like the faces I had seen by the River Kebar. Each creature went straight ahead.
