UHezekheli 10
1 Ngasengibona, khangela-ke, emkhathini owawungaphezu kwekhanda lamakherubhi kwakulokunjengelitshe lesafire, kunjengokubonakala komfanekiso wesihlalo sobukhosi; kwabonakala phezu kwawo.
Then I looked, and see, in the expanse that was over the head of the cherubim there appeared above 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.
He spoke to the man clothed in linen, and said, “Go in between the whirling wheels, even under the cherub, and fill both your hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city.” He went in as I watched.
3 Njalo amakherubhi ayemi ngakwesokunene kwendlu, lapho lowomuntu engena; iyezi laseligcwalisa iguma elingaphakathi.
Now the cherubim 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.
The LORD’s glory mounted 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 the LORD’s glory.
5 Lomdumo wempiko zamakherubhi wezwakala kwaze kwaba segumeni elingaphandle, njengelizwi likaNkulunkulu uSomandla nxa ekhuluma.
The sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.
6 Kwasekusithi isimlayile umuntu ogqoke ilembu elicolekileyo isithi: Thatha umlilo phakathi kwamavili, phakathi kwamakherubhi; wangena, wema duze kwevili.
It came to pass, when he commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, “Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim,” that he went in and stood beside a wheel.
7 Ikherubhi laseliselulela isandla salo sisuka phakathi kwamakherubhi kuwo umlilo owawuphakathi kwamakherubhi, lawuthatha, lawubeka ezandleni zalowo owayembethe ilembu elicolekileyo; owawuthatha waphuma.
The cherub stretched out his hand from between the cherubim to the fire that was between the cherubim, and took some of it, and put it into the hands of him who was clothed in linen, who took it and went out.
8 Kwasekubonakala kiwo amakherubhi isimo sesandla somuntu ngaphansi kwempiko zawo.
The form of a man’s hand appeared here in the cherubim 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.
I looked, and behold, there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside one cherub, and another wheel beside another cherub. The appearance of the wheels was like a beryl stone.
10 Mayelana lokubonakala kwawo, womane ayelesimo sinye, njengokungathi livili eliphakathi kwevili.
As for their appearance, the four of them had one likeness, like a wheel within 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 in their four directions. They didn’t turn as they went, but to the place where the head looked they followed it. They didn’t turn as they went.
12 Lomzimba wawo wonke, lemihlane yawo, lezandla zawo, lempiko zawo, lamavili, kwakugcwele amehlo inhlangothi zonke, amavili azo zozine ezazilawo.
Their whole body, including their backs, their hands, their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes all around, even the wheels that the four of them had.
13 Mayelana lamavili, kwamenyezwa kiwo endlebeni zami ukuthi: Vili!
As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, “the whirling wheels”.
14 Njalo yilelo lalelo lalilobuso obune; ubuso bokuqala babuyibuso bekherubhi, lobuso besibili babuyibuso bomuntu, lobesithathu buyibuso besilwane, lobesine buyibuso belinqe.
Every one of them had four faces. The first face was the face of the cherub. The second face was the face of a man. The third face was the face of a lion. The fourth was the face of an eagle.
15 Amakherubhi aseziphakamisa. Lesi yisidalwa esiphilayo engasibona ngasemfuleni iKebari.
The cherubim mounted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river 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.
When the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels also didn’t turn from beside them.
17 Lapho esima, lawo ema; lalapho ephakama, lawo aphakama; ngoba umoya wezidalwa eziphilayo wawukiwo.
When they stood, these stood. When they mounted up, these mounted up with them; for the spirit of the living creature was in them.
18 Inkazimulo yeNkosi yasiphuma yasuka phezu kombundu wendlu, yema phezu kwamakherubhi.
The LORD’s glory went out from over the threshold of the house and stood over the cherubim.
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.
The cherubim lifted up their wings and mounted up from the earth in my sight when they went out, with the wheels beside them. Then they stood at the door of the east gate of the LORD’s house; and the glory of the God 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 God of Israel by the river Chebar; and I knew that they were cherubim.
21 Yilelo lalelo lalilobuso obune, lalelo lalelo lilempiko ezine; lesimo sezandla zomuntu singaphansi kwempiko zazo.
Every one had four faces, and every one four wings. 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.
As for the likeness of their faces, they were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves. They each went straight forward.
