Ezekieri 10
1 Ndakatarisa, ndikaona chinhu chakafanana nechigaro choushe chesafire pamusoro pedenga raiva pamusoro pemisoro yamakerubhimi.
Ine nditayangʼana ku thambo limene lili pamwamba pa mitu ya akerubi ndinangoona chinthu chooneka ngati mpando waufumu wa mwala wa safiro.
2 Jehovha akati kumurume uya akanga akapfeka mucheka wakaisvonaka, “Enda pakati pamavhiri ari munyasi mamakerubhi. Uzadze maoko ako namazimbe anopisa anobva pamakerubhi ugoaparadzira pamusoro peguta.” Iye akapinda ini ndakatarira.
Tsono Yehova anawuza munthu wovala chovala chabafuta uja kuti, “Pita pakati pa mikombero kunsi kwa akerubi. Udzaze manja ako ndi makala oyaka amene ali pakati pa akerubiwo ndipo uwawaze mu mzinda.” Iye anachita zimenezi ine ndikuona.
3 Zvino makerubhi akanga akamira parutivi rwezasi kwetemberi murume paakapinda, uye gore rakazadza ruvazhe rwomukati.
Apa akerubiwo anali atayima mbali ya kummwera kwa Nyumba ya Mulungu pamene munthuyo ankalowa. Tsono mtambo unadzaza bwalo lamʼkati.
4 Ipapo kubwinya kwaJehovha kwakakwira pamusoro pamakerubhi kukaswedera kuchikumbaridzo chetemberi. Gore rakazadza temberi, uye ruvazhe rukazadzwa nokupenya kwokubwinya kwaJehovha.
Ndipo ulemerero wa Yehova unachoka pamwamba pa akerubi ndipo unafika ku chiwundo cha Nyumba ya Mulungu. Mtambo unadzaza Nyumba ya Mulungu, ndipo kuwala kwa ulemerero wa Yehova kunadzaza bwalolo.
5 Mubvumo wamapapiro amakerubhi wainzwika kusvikira kuruvazhe rwokunze, senzwi raMwari Wamasimba Ose kana achitaura.
Phokoso la mapiko a akerubi limamveka mpaka ku bwalo lakunja, monga momwe linamvekera liwu la Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse akamayankhula.
6 Jehovha akati arayira murume akanga akapfeka mucheka wakaisvonaka, achiti, “Tora moto pakati pamavhiri, kubva pamakerubhi,” murume akapinda mukati akamira parutivi rwevhiri.
Kenaka Yehova analamula munthu wovala chovala chabafuta uja kuti, “Pala moto pakati pa mikombero, pakati pa akerubi.” Munthu uja anapitadi nakayima pa mbali pa mkombero umodzi.
7 Ipapo rimwe ramakerubhi rakatambanudzira ruoko rwaro kumoto wakanga uri pakati pawo. Akatora mumwe moto ndokuuisa mumaoko omurume akanga akapfeka mucheka wakaisvonaka, iye ndokuutora ndokuenda nawo panze.
Ndipo mmodzi wa akerubi anatambalitsa dzanja lake mpaka pa moto umene unali pakati pawo. Iye anapalako motowo ndipo anapatsa munthu wovala chovala chabafuta uja. Tsono iye anawulandira natuluka.
8 (Pasi pamapapiro amakerubhi paionekwa chinhu chainge maoko omunhu.)
Ndiye kuti kunsi kwa mapiko akerubi kumaoneka zinthu zooneka ngati manja a munthu.
9 Ndakatarisa, ndikaona parutivi rwamakerubhi mavhiri mana, rimwe vhiri parutivi rwekerubhi rimwe nerimwe, mavhiri acho aivaima kunge ibwe rekrisorite.
Ine nditayangʼanitsitsa ndinaona mikombero inayi pambali pa akerubi. Pambali pa kerubi aliyense panali mkombero umodzi; mikomberoyo inkanyezimira ngati miyala yokongola ya krizoliti.
10 Pakuonekwa kwawo, mana acho akanga akafanana; rimwe nerimwe rakanga rakaita sevhiri riri mukati merimwe vhiri.
Maonekedwe a mikombero inayi ija anali ofanana. Mkombero uliwonse umaoneka ngati mkombero wolowana ndi unzake.
11 Paaifamba aigona kuenda neimwe yenzira ina kwakanga kwakatarisa makerubhi; mavhiri haana kutsauka pakufamba kwaiita makerubhi. Makerubhi akaenda munzira ipi zvayo kwakanga kwakatarira musoro, asingatsauki pakufamba kwawo.
Poyenda akerubiwo, amapita mbali iliyonse ya mbali zinayizo kumene akerubiwo amayangʼana. Mikomberoyo simatembenuka pamene akerubiwo ankayenda. Kulikonse kumene mutu walunjika nʼkumene ankapita popanda kutembenuka.
12 Miviri yawo yose, pamwe chete nemisana yawo, maoko awo namapapiro awo, zvakanga zvakazara nameso, zvakanga zvakadarowo namavhiri awo ari mana.
Matupi awo onse, misana yawo, manja awo ndi mapiko awo zinali ndi maso okhaokha, monganso mʼmene inalili mikombero yawo inayi ija.
13 Ndakanzwa mavhiri achitumidzwa zita rokuti “mavhiri okumonereka.”
Ine ndinamva mikombero ikutchedwa kuti, “mikombero yakamvuluvulu.”
14 Kerubhi rimwe nerimwe rakanga rine zviso zvina: Chimwe chiso chakanga chiri chekerubhi, chechipiri chakanga chiri chiso chomunhu, chiso chechitatu chakanga chiri cheshumba, chiso chechina chakanga chiri chegondo.
Kerubi aliyense anali ndi nkhope zinayi. Nkhope yoyamba inali ya Kerubi, nkhope yachiwiri inali ya munthu, nkhope yachitatu inali ya mkango ndipo nkhope yachinayi inali ya chiwombankhanga.
15 Ipapo makerubhi akabhururuka achikwira kumusoro. Izvi ndizvo zvisikwa zvipenyu zvandakaona ndiri paRwizi rweKebhari.
Tsono akerubi aja anawuluka. Izi zinali zamoyo zija zimene ndinaziona ku mtsinje wa Kebara.
16 Makerubhi aiti ofamba, mavhiri aiva parutivi rwawo ofambawo; makerubhi aiti akatambanudza mapapiro awo kuti abhururuke kubva pasi, mavhiri akanga asingabvi parutivi rwawo.
Pamene akerubi ankayenda, nayonso mikombero ya mʼmbali mwawo inkayenda. Akerubiwo ankati akatambasula mapiko awo kuti auluke mikombero sinkachoka mʼmbali mwawo.
17 Kana makerubhi akamira, iwo aimirawo; uye makerubhi akabhururuka, iwo aisimuka pamwe chete nawo, nokuti mweya wezvisikwa zvipenyu wakanga uri maari.
Akerubiwo ankati akayima, mikombero inkayimanso. Ngati akerubiwo auluka, mikomberoyo inkapita nawo chifukwa mzimu wa zamoyozo ndiwo unkayendetsa mikomberoyo.
18 Ipapo kubwinya kwaJehovha kwakabva pamusoro pechikumbaridzo chetemberi kukamira pamusoro pamakerubhi.
Pamenepo ulemerero wa Yehova unachoka pa chiwundo cha Nyumba ya Mulungu ndi kukakhala pamwamba pa akerubi.
19 Ndichakatarisa izvi, makerubhi akatambanudza mapapiro awo ndokubhururuka kubva pasi, uye paaienda, mavhiri aiendawo nawo. Akandomira pamukova wesuo rokumabvazuva kweimba yaJehovha, uye kubwinya kwaMwari waIsraeri kwakanga kuri pamusoro pawo.
Ine ndikuona akerubi, anatambasula mapiko awo ndi kuwuluka. Pamene ankapita, mikombero inapita nawo pamodzi. Akerubi anakayima pa khomo la chipata cha kummawa cha Nyumba ya Yehova. Tsono ulemerero wowala wa Mulungu wa Israeli unali pamwamba pawo.
20 Izvi ndizvo zvisikwa zvipenyu zvandakanga ndaona pasi paMwari waIsraeri paRwizi rweKebhari, uye ndikaziva kuti akanga ari makerubhi.
Izi ndizo zamoyo ndinaziona pansi pa Mulungu wa Israeli ku mtsinje wa Kebara, ndipo ndinazindikira kuti anali akerubi.
21 Rimwe nerimwe rakanga rine zviso zvina namapapiro mana, uye pasi pamapapiro awo pakanga pane zvairatidzika samaoko omunhu.
Kerubi aliyense anali ndi nkhope zinayi ndi mapiko anayi, ndipo kunsi kwa mapiko awo kunali chinthu chimene chimaoneka ngati manja a munthu.
22 Zviso zvawo zvakanga zvichiratidzika sezviya zvandakanga ndamboona paRwizi rweKebhari. Chimwe nechimwe chaifamba chakananga mberi.
Nkhope zawo zinali zofanana ndi zomwe ndinaziona ku mtsinje wa Kebara. Kerubi aliyense amayenda molunjika.
