Esekiel 10
1 Og jeg så, og se, på den hvelving som var over kjerubenes hode, var det noget som syntes å være en safirsten, noget som lignet en trone; han såes over dem.
Then I looked, and lo, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubs there appeared over them as it were a sapphire-stone, in form like a throne;
2 Og han sa til den mann som var klædd i linklærne: Gå inn mellem hjulene, inn under kjerubene, og fyll dine hender med glør av dem som er mellem kjerubene, og strø dem ut over staden! Og han gikk inn mens jeg så på det.
and He spake to the man that was clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels under the cherub, and fill thy hands with coals of fire, which are between the cherubs, and scatter them over the city. And he went in before my eyes.
3 Og kjerubene stod på høire side av huset da mannen gikk inn, og skyen fylte den indre forgård.
Now the cherubs stood upon the right side of the house when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.
4 Og Herrens herlighet hevet sig op fra kjerubene og flyttet sig til husets dørtreskel, og huset fyltes av skyen, og forgården blev full av glansen fra Herrens herlighet.
And the glory of Jehovah was lifted up from the cherub to the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was filled with the brightness of the glory of Jehovah.
5 Og lyden av kjerubenes vinger hørtes helt til den ytre forgård, likesom den allmektige Guds røst når han taler.
And the sound of the wings of the cherubs was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of God, the Almighty, when he speaketh.
6 Da han nu bød mannen som var klædd i linklærne: Ta av den ild som er mellem hjulene, mellem kjerubene! - da gikk han inn og stilte sig ved siden av hjulet.
And when he commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubs, he went in and stood beside the wheels.
7 Og den ene kjerub rakte ut sin hånd fra kjerubene til ilden som var mellem kjerubene, og tok av den og la i hendene på ham som var klædd i linklærne; og han tok den og gikk ut.
And one cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubs to the fire that was between the cherubs, and took thereof, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linen, who took it, and went out.
8 Og det såes på kjerubene noget som lignet en menneskehånd, under deres vinger.
And there was seen in the cherubs the form of a man's hand under their wings.
9 Og jeg så, og se, det var fire hjul ved siden av kjerubene, ett hjul ved hver kjerub, og hjulene var å se til som krysolitt.
And when I looked, behold, four wheels were by the cherubs, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub; and the appearance of the wheels was like that of a chrysolite.
10 I utseende var de alle fire aldeles lik hverandre; det var som om det ene hjul var inne i det andre.
And as to their appearance, all four had one form, as if a wheel were in the midst of a wheel.
11 Når de gikk, gikk de til alle fire sider; de vendte sig ikke når de gikk, men til den kant som den forreste var vendt imot, dit gikk de; de vendte sig ikke når de gikk.
When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not about when they went; but to the place whither the head looked they followed it, they turned not about when they went.
12 Og hele deres legeme og deres rygger og deres hender og deres vinger og hjulene var fulle av øine rundt omkring - alle deres fire hjul.
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 which they four had.
13 Jeg hørte hjulene blev kalt hvirvel.
And as to these wheels, each one of them in my hearing was called Whirlwind.
14 Hver av dem hadde fire ansikter; den førstes ansikt var et kjerubansikt, den annens et menneskeansikt, den tredjes et løveansikt og den fjerdes et ørneansikt.
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 Og kjerubene hevet sig; det var de livsvesener jeg hadde sett ved elven Kebar.
And the cherubs were lifted up. They were the living creatures which I saw by the river Chebar.
16 Og når kjerubene gikk, gikk hjulene ved siden av dem, og når kjerubene løftet sine vinger for å heve sig op fra jorden, skilte hjulene sig ikke fra dem.
And when the cherubs went, the wheels went with them; and when the cherubs lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels turned not away from their side.
17 Når kjerubene stod, stod også de, og når kjerubene hevet sig, hevet de sig med dem; for livsvesenenes ånd var i dem.
When they stood, these stood; and when they were lifted up, these were liked up with them. For the spirit of the living creatures was in them.
18 Og Herrens herlighet flyttet sig bort fra husets dørtreskel og blev stående over kjerubene.
Then the glory of Jehovah departed from the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubs.
19 Og jeg så hvorledes kjerubene løftet sine vinger og hevet sig fra jorden da de gikk ut, og hjulene ved siden av dem; og de blev stående ved inngangen til den østre port i Herrens hus, og Israels Guds herlighet var ovenover dem.
And the cherubs lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight, as they went out, and the wheels were beside them. And they stood at the entrance of the east gate of the house of Jehovah, and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
20 Det var de livsvesener jeg hadde sett under Israels Gud ved elven Kebar, og jeg skjønte at det var kjeruber.
They were the living creatures which I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and I knew that they were the cherubs.
21 Hvert av dem hadde fire ansikter og fire vinger, og noget som lignet menneskehender, var der under deres vinger.
Every one had four faces, and every one four wings, and the form of a man's hand was under their wings.
22 Og deres ansikter var lik de ansikter jeg hadde sett ved elven Kebar; således så de ut, og således var de; hvert av dem gikk rett frem.
And as for the form of their faces, they were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves. They went every one straight forward.
