Книга пророка Иезекииля 10
1 И видех, и се, верху тверди сущия над главою Херувимов, яко камень сапфировый, подобие престола на них.
And saw and behold in the firmament that was over the heads of the cherubims, there appeared over them as it were the sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
2 И рече к мужу облеченому во утварь: вниди среде колес, яже под Херувимами, и наполни горсти твоя углия огненнаго от среды Херувимов и разсыпли на град. И вниде предо мною:
And he spoke to the man, that was clothed with linen, and said: Go in between the wheels that are under the cherubims and fill thy hand with the coals of fire that are between the cherubims, and pour them out upon the city. And he went in, in my sight:
3 Херувими же стояху одесную дому, внегда вхождаше муж, и облак наполни двор внутренний.
And the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in, and a cloud filled the inner court.
4 И воздвижеся слава Господня от Херувимов в непокровение дому, и наполни дом облак, и двор наполнися сияния славы Господни:
And the glory of the Lord was lifted up from above 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 the Lord.
5 и глас крил Херувимских слышашеся даже до внешняго двора, якоже глас Бога Саддаи глаголющаго.
And the sound of the wings of the cherubims was heard even to the outward court as the voice of God Almighty speaking.
6 И бысть внегда заповедаше мужу облеченому во утварь святую, глаголя: возми огнь от среды колес, иже среде Херувимов. И вниде и ста близ колес.
And when he had commanded the man that was clothed with linen, saying: Take fire from the midst of the wheels that are between the cherubims: he went in and stood beside the wheel,
7 И простре Херувим руку свою в средину огня сущаго среде Херувимов, и взя и вдаде в руце оболченому во утварь святую, и взя и изыде.
And one cherub stretched out his arm from the midst of the cherubims to the fire that was between the cherubims: and he took, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linen: who took it and went forth.
8 И видех Херувимы, и се, подобие рук человечих под крилы их.
And there appeared in the cherubims the likeness of a man’s hand under their wings.
9 И видех, и се, четыри колеса стояху держащеся Херувимов: коло едино держашеся единаго Херувима, и коло едино держашеся другаго Херувима: взор же колес якоже взор камения анфракса:
And I saw, and behold there were four wheels by the cherubims: one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was to the sight like the chrysolite stone:
10 и взор их подобие едино четырем, акибы было коло в колеси:
And as to their appearance, all four were alike: as if a wheel were in the midst of a wheel.
11 внегда идяху, на четыри части их идяху, и не обращахуся внегда идяху: яко, на неже место аще зряше начало едино, идяху (вслед его), и не обращахуся, внегда ити им.
And when they went, they went by four ways: and they turned not when they went: but to the place whither they first turned, the rest also followed, and did not turn back.
12 Вся же телеса их и хребты их, и руце их и крила их и колеса полна очес окрест четырех колес.
And their whole body, and their necks, and their hands, and their wings, and the circles were full of eyes, round about the four wheels.
13 Колесам же сим воззвася гелгель, слышащу мне.
And these wheels he called voluble, in my hearing.
14 Четыри же лица коемуждо их: единому лице херувимле, лице же другому лице человечо, третие же лице львово и четвертое лице орлее.
And every one had four faces: one face was the face of a cherub, and the second face, the face of a man: and in the third was the face of a lion: and in the fourth the face of an eagle.
15 И взяшася Херувими: сие есть животное, еже видех на реце Ховар.
And the cherubims were lifted up: this is the living creature that I had seen by the river Chobar.
16 И егда идяху Херувими, идяху и колеса их, и сии держахуся их: и внегда воздвизаху Херувими крила своя, еже возвыситися от земли, не обращахуся колеса их, и та держахуся их:
And when the cherubims went, the wheels also went by them: and when the cherubims lifted up their wings, to mount up from the earth, the wheels stayed not behind, but were by them.
17 егда стояху тии, стояху и они, и внегда возвышахуся тии, возвышахуся и они с ними: зане дух жизни бе в них.
When they stood, these stood: and when they were lifted up, these were lifted up: for the spirit of life was in them.
18 И изыде слава Господня от непокровения дому и взыде на Херувимы.
And the glory of the Lord went forth from the threshold of the temple: and stood over the cherubims.
19 И воздвигоша Херувими крила своя и возвысишася от земли предо мною: егда изыдоша тии, и колеса держахуся их: и сташа над преддверием врат Дому Господня, яже противу востоку, и слава Господа Бога Израилева бе над ними свыше.
And the cherubims lifting up their wings, were raised from the earth before me: and as they went out, the wheels also followed: and it stood in the entry of the east gate of the house of the Lord: and the glory of the God of Israel was over them.
20 Сие животное есть, еже видех под Богом Израилевым на реце Ховар, и познах, яко Херувими суть.
This is the living creature, which I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chobar: and I understood that they were cherubims.
21 Четыри лица единому, и четыри крила единому, и подобие рук человечих под крилы их.
Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings: and the likeness of a man’s hand was under their wings.
22 И подобие лиц их: сия лица суть, яже видех под славою Бога Израилева при реце Ховар воззрение их: и сия кождо прямо лицу своему идяху.
And as to the likeness of their faces, they were the same faces which I had seen by the river Chobar, and their looks, and the impulse of every one to go straight forward.
