Книга пророка Иезекииля 10
1 И видех, и се, верху тверди сущия над главою Херувимов, яко камень сапфировый, подобие престола на них.
Then I saw, and, behold, on the vault that was above the head of the cherubim, there appeared over them something like a sapphire stone, something similar in appearance to 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 said unto the man clothed in linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, under the cherub, and fill thy hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and throw [them] over the city. And he went in before my eyes.
3 Херувими же стояху одесную дому, внегда вхождаше муж, и облак наполни двор внутренний.
Now the cherubim were standing on the right side of the house, when the man went in: and the 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:
Then the glory of the Lord rose upward from the cherub, toward 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 и глас крил Херувимских слышашеся даже до внешняго двора, якоже глас Бога Саддаи глаголющаго.
And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard as far as the outer court, like the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh.
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 it came to pass, when he commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubim, that 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 the one cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubim unto the fire that was between the cherubim, and lifted it up, and placed it into the hands of the one clothed in linen; who took it, and went out.
8 И видех Херувимы, и се, подобие рук человечих под крилы их.
And there became visible on the cherubim the form of a man's hand beneath 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 cherubim, one wheel by the one cherub, and another wheel by the other cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was like the glitter of a chrysolite stone.
10 и взор их подобие едино четырем, акибы было коло в колеси:
And as for their appearances, the whole four had one likeness, as if a wheel were in the midst of another 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.
In their going, they went toward their four sides, they turned not round in their going; but to the place whither the head was turned they followed it, they turned not round in their going.
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 back, and their hands, and their wings, as also the wheels, were full of eyes round about, [even] the wheels that belonged to all four of them.
13 Колесам же сим воззвася гелгель, слышащу мне.
As for the wheels, they were called Galgal before my ears.
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: the one face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third face was the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
15 И взяшася Херувими: сие есть животное, еже видех на реце Ховар.
And the cherubim lifted themselves up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river Kebar.
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 cherubim went forward, the wheels went close by them; and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels also did not turn away from beside them.
17 егда стояху тии, стояху и они, и внегда возвышахуся тии, возвышахуся и они с ними: зане дух жизни бе в них.
When those halted, these halted; and when those lifted themselves up, these lifted themselves up with them; for the spirit of the living creature was in them.
18 И изыде слава Господня от непокровения дому и взыде на Херувимы.
And the glory of the Lord went forth from off the threshold of the house, and halted over the cherubim.
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 cherubim lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth before my eyes as they went forth, and the wheels at the same time with them, and halted at the entrance of the east gate of the house of the Lord: and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
20 Сие животное есть, еже видех под Богом Израилевым на реце Ховар, и познах, яко Херувими суть.
This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Kebar; and I understood that they were cherubim.
21 Четыри лица единому, и четыри крила единому, и подобие рук человечих под крилы их.
Every one had four faces apiece, and every one had four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man 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 the likeness of their faces was the same as the faces which I had seen by the river Kebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one in the direction of his face.
