Ehekiera 10
1 Katahi ahau ka titiro atu, nana, i te kikorangi, i runga ake i te mahunga o nga kerupima, ka kitea i runga i a ratou me te mea he kohatu hapaira, rite tonu ki te ahua o te torona ki te titiro.
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 Na ka korero ia ki te tangata i te kakahu rinena, i mea ia, Tomo atu ki waenganui o nga wira e hurihuri na, ara ki raro i te kerupa, whakakiia ou ringa e rua ki nga waro ahi i waenganui i nga kerupima, ka rui ki runga ki te pa. Na haere ana ia me te titiro ano ahau.
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 Na i tu nga kerupima ki te taha ki matau o te whare, i te tomonga o taua tangata; ki tonu hoki to roto marae i te kapua.
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 Katahi ka kake te kororia o Ihowa i te kerupa, a ka tu i runga ake i te paepae o te whare; ki tonu iho te whare i te kapua, ki tonu hoki te marae i te kanapatanga o to Ihowa kororia.
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 Na, ko te haruru o nga parirau o nga kerupima, i rangona ki te marae ra ano o waho, me te mea ko te reo o te Atua Kaha Rawa ina korero.
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 Na, i tana whakahaunga i te tangata i te kakahu rinena, i tana meatanga, Tikina he ahi i waenganui o nga wira hurihuri, i waenganui o nga kerupima; katahi tera ka haere ki roto, ka tu ki te taha o tetahi wira.
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 Na ka totoro te ringa o te kerupa i waenganui o nga kerupima ki te ahi i waenganui o nga kerupima, hapainga ana e ia i reira, hoatu ana ki nga ringa o tera i te kakahu rinena. Na tangohia ana e tera, a puta atu ana.
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 I kitea ano te ahua o te ringa tangata i nga kerupima i raro i o ratou parirau.
Under the wings of the winged creatures was something that resembled a human’s hands.
9 A i kite ahau, na e wha nga wira i te taha o nga kerupima, kotahi te wira i te taha o te kerupa kotahi, ko tetahi wira i te taha o tetahi atu kerupa. Na, ko te ahua o nga wira koia ano kei te kara o te kohatu perira.
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 Na ki te tirohia atu aua mea, kotahi ano te ahua o ratou e wha, me te mea kotahi te wira i roto i te wira.
The wheels were all alike: Each had one wheel inside another wheel.
11 I to ratou haerenga i haere i o ratou taha e wha; kihai i tahuri i a ratou i haere ra, engari, ko te wahi i anga atu ai te matenga, whai tonu atu ratou ki reira; kihai i tahuri i a ratou i haere ra.
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 Na, ko to ratou tinana katoa, ko o ratou tuara, ko o ratou ringa, ko o ratou parirau, a ko nga wira hoki, kapi tonu i te kanohi a taka noa, ara nga wira i a ratou tokowha.
Their bodies, including their backs and hands and wings, were covered with eyes. The wheels were also covered with eyes.
13 Na ko nga wira ra, i karangatia i ahau ano e whakarongo ana, ko nga wira hurihuri.
I heard someone call them ‘the whirling wheels’.
14 Na e wha nga mata o tetahi, o tetahi; ko te mata tuatahi he mata kerupa, ko te mata tuarua he mata tangata, ko te tuatoru he mata raiona, ko te tuawha he mata ekara.
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 Na ka maiangi nga kerupima ki runga. Ko te mea ora tenei i kitea e ahau ki te awa, ki Kepara.
Then the winged creatures rose up. They were the same living creatures that I had seen alongside the Kebar River/Canal.
16 Na, i te haerenga o nga kerupima, i haere ano nga wira i to ratou taha, a ka ara ake nga parirau o nga kerupima, he mea kia maiangi ake ai i te whenua, kihai aua wira i tahuri ke i to ratou taha.
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 Ka tu era, ka tu enei; ka maiangi era ki runga, ka maiangi ano enei ki runga; no te mea i roto i a ratou te wairua o te mea ora.
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 Na kua riro atu te kororia o Ihowa i runga i te paepae o te whare, tau ana ki runga ki nga kerupima.
Then the (glory/dazzling light) left the entrance of the temple and stopped above the winged creatures.
19 Na ka ara nga parirau o nga kerupima, maiangi ana i te whenua, i ahau e titiro atu ana i to ratou haerenga atu, me nga wira ano i to ratou taha: a tu ana ratou i te kuwaha o te keti ki te rawhiti o te whare o Ihowa; a i runga i a ratou te korori a o te Atua o Iharaira, i te taha ki runga.
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 Ko te mea ora tenei i kitea e ahau i raro i te atua o Iharaira, i te awa, i Kepara; i mohio ano ahau he kerupima era.
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 E wha nga mata o tenei, o tenei, e wha ano nga parirau o tenei, o tenei; i raro ano i o ratou parirau ko te ahua o te ringa tangata.
Each of them had four faces and four wings, and under their wings was what resembled a human’s hands.
22 Na, ko te ahua o o ratou mata ko aua mata i kitea ra e ahau ki te awa, ki Kepara, o ratou ahua me ratou ano; i tika tonu atu ratou tetahi, tetahi.
Their faces were the same as the faces that I had seen at the Kebar River/Canal. Each of them flew straight ahead.
