< UHezekheli 10 >

1 Ngasengibona, khangela-ke, emkhathini owawungaphezu kwekhanda lamakherubhi kwakulokunjengelitshe lesafire, kunjengokubonakala komfanekiso wesihlalo sobukhosi; kwabonakala phezu kwawo.
Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubims there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
2 Wasekhuluma emuntwini ogqoke ilembu elicolekileyo, wathi: Ngena ngaphakathi kwamavili, ngaphansi kwekherubhi, ugcwalise intende zezandla zakho ngamalahle omlilo avela phakathi kwamakherubhi, uwahlakaze phezu komuzi. Wasengena phambi kwamehlo ami.
And he spake unto the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, even under the cherub, and fill thine hand with coals of fire from between the cherubims, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight.
3 Njalo amakherubhi ayemi ngakwesokunene kwendlu, lapho lowomuntu engena; iyezi laseligcwalisa iguma elingaphakathi.
Now the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.
4 Inkazimulo yeNkosi yasiphakama isuka phezu kwekherubhi, phezu kombundu wendlu; indlu yasigcwaliswa liyezi, leguma lagcwala ukukhanya kwenkazimulo yeNkosi.
Then the glory of YHWH went up from the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of YHWH 's glory.
5 Lomdumo wempiko zamakherubhi wezwakala kwaze kwaba segumeni elingaphandle, njengelizwi likaNkulunkulu uSomandla nxa ekhuluma.
And the sound of the cherubims' wings was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of El-Shaddai when he speaketh.
6 Kwasekusithi isimlayile umuntu ogqoke ilembu elicolekileyo isithi: Thatha umlilo phakathi kwamavili, phakathi kwamakherubhi; wangena, wema duze kwevili.
And it came to pass, that when he had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubims; then he went in, and stood beside the wheels.
7 Ikherubhi laseliselulela isandla salo sisuka phakathi kwamakherubhi kuwo umlilo owawuphakathi kwamakherubhi, lawuthatha, lawubeka ezandleni zalowo owayembethe ilembu elicolekileyo; owawuthatha waphuma.
And one cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubims unto the fire that was between the cherubims, and took thereof, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linen: who took it, and went out.
8 Kwasekubonakala kiwo amakherubhi isimo sesandla somuntu ngaphansi kwempiko zawo.
And there appeared in the cherubims the form of a man's hand under their wings.
9 Ngasengibona, khangela-ke amavili amane eceleni kwamakherubhi, ivili elilodwa eceleni kwelinye ikherubhi, levili elilodwa eceleni kwelinye ikherubhi; lokubonakala kwamavili kwakunjengombala welitshe lebherule.
And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubims, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was as the colour of a beryl stone.
10 Mayelana lokubonakala kwawo, womane ayelesimo sinye, njengokungathi livili eliphakathi kwevili.
And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel.
11 Ekuhambeni kwawo, ahamba ngenhlangothi zawo zozine, awaphendukanga ekuhambeni kwawo, kodwa indawo lapho ikhanda elalikhangele khona, ayilandela, awaphendukanga ekuhambeni kwawo.
When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not as they went, but to the place whither the head looked they followed it; they turned not as they went.
12 Lomzimba wawo wonke, lemihlane yawo, lezandla zawo, lempiko zawo, lamavili, kwakugcwele amehlo inhlangothi zonke, amavili azo zozine ezazilawo.
And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about, even the wheels that they four had.
13 Mayelana lamavili, kwamenyezwa kiwo endlebeni zami ukuthi: Vili!
As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O wheel.
14 Njalo yilelo lalelo lalilobuso obune; ubuso bokuqala babuyibuso bekherubhi, lobuso besibili babuyibuso bomuntu, lobesithathu buyibuso besilwane, lobesine buyibuso belinqe.
And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
15 Amakherubhi aseziphakamisa. Lesi yisidalwa esiphilayo engasibona ngasemfuleni iKebari.
And the cherubims were lifted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar.
16 Kwathi lapho amakherubhi ehamba, amavili ahamba eceleni kwawo; lalapho amakherubhi ephakamisa impiko zawo ukuze enyuke asuke emhlabeni, lawomavili kawaphendukanga esuka eceleni lawo futhi.
And when the cherubims went, the wheels went by them: and when the cherubims lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also turned not from beside them.
17 Lapho esima, lawo ema; lalapho ephakama, lawo aphakama; ngoba umoya wezidalwa eziphilayo wawukiwo.
When they stood, these stood; and when they were lifted up, these lifted up themselves also: for the spirit of the living creature was in them.
18 Inkazimulo yeNkosi yasiphuma yasuka phezu kombundu wendlu, yema phezu kwamakherubhi.
Then the glory of YHWH departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubims.
19 Amakherubhi asephakamisa impiko zawo, enyuka esuka emhlabeni phambi kwamehlo ami, lapho ephuma, lamavili lawo ayemaqondana lawo; njalo yilelo lalelo lema emnyango wesango elingasempumalanga kwendlu yeNkosi; lenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli yayiphezu kwawo ngaphezulu.
And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also were beside them, and every one stood at the door of the east gate of YHWH 's house; and the glory of the Elohim of Israel was over them above.
20 Lesi yisidalwa esiphilayo engasibona ngaphansi kukaNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli ngasemfuleni iKebari; ngasengisazi ukuthi ngamakherubhi.
This is the living creature that I saw under the Elohim of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they were the cherubims.
21 Yilelo lalelo lalilobuso obune, lalelo lalelo lilempiko ezine; lesimo sezandla zomuntu singaphansi kwempiko zazo.
Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.
22 Lesimo sobuso bawo sasiyibuso engabubona ngasemfuleni iKebari, ukubonakala kwawo, lawo ngokwawo. Ahamba, yilelo lalelo ngaphambi kobuso balo.
And the likeness of their faces was the same faces which I saw by the river of Chebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one straight forward.
