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.
I looked up and saw what looked like a throne made of lapis lazuli beyond the expanse, way above the heads of the cherubim.
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.
Speaking from there the Lord told the man in linen, “Go in between the wheels underneath the cherubim. Collect as many burning coals as you can. Carry them from among the cherubim and scatter them all over the city.” I watched as he went in.
3 Ary ny kerobima nitsangana teo amin’ ny ankavanan’ ny trano, raha niditra ralehilahy; ary feno ilay rahona ny kianja anatiny.
The cherubim were standing on the south side of the Temple when the man went in. 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 Lord's glory rose up from above the cherubim and moved to the entrance of the Temple. The cloud filled the Temple, and the brightness of the Lord's glory filled the courtyard.
5 Ary ny fikopakopaky ny elatry ny kerobima dia re hatrany amin’ ny kianja ivelany, toy ny feon’ Andriamanitra Tsitoha, raha miteny.
The noise made by the cherubim's wings could even be heard in the outer courtyard, and sounded like the voice of God Almighty.
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 ordered the man in linen, “Go and get some fire from in between the wheels, from among the cherubim,” the man went in and stood beside one of the wheels.
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 and took some of the fire among them. He handed it to the man in linen, who took it and left.
8 Ary nisy nitarehin-tànan’ olona niseho teo ambanin’ ny elatry ny kerobima.
(All the cherubim had what looked like 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.
I saw four wheels next to the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub. The wheels shone like topaz.
10 Ary izy efatra dia nitovy tarehy, toy ny kodia anatin’ ny kodia.
All four wheels looked the same, and had a wheel within a wheel, set crossways.
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.
The cherubim could go in any direction they faced, moving without turning.
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.
The whole of their bodies, including their backs, hands, and wings, were covered in eyes, as were all four wheels.
13 Ny amin’ ny kodia dia reko nisy niantso azy hoe: Ry kodia!
I heard the wheels being referred to as “the chariot 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 them had four faces: the first face was a cherub's face, the second a man's face, the third a lion's face, and the fourth an eagle's face.
15 Ary niakatra ny kerobima. Izany dia ilay zava-manan’ aina hitako teo amoron’ ny ony Kebara ihany.
Then the cherubim rose up in the air. They were the beings I'd seen beside 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 alongside them. Even when they opened their wings to take off, the wheels stayed beside them.
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 stopped, the wheels stopped too. When they took off, the wheels did too, because the spirit of the living creatures was in them.
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 left the entrance to the Temple and stopped 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 took off, with the wheels alongside them. They stopped at the entrance of the east gate of the Lord's Temple, and the glory of the God of Israel was 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 beings I had seen beneath the God of Israel by the River Kebar. 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 and had 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 of them moved directly ahead.
