< Ezequiel 10 >
1 Al mirar, vi que en el arco del cielo que estaba sobre la cabeza de los querubines se veía sobre ellos lo que parecía una piedra de zafiro, con la forma de un trono.
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 Y dijo al hombre vestido de lino: Ve entre las ruedas, debajo de las alas, y agarra en tus dos manos de carbones ardientes entre las alas y esparcelas sobre la ciudad. Y entró ante mis ojos.
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 Ahora los alados estaban estacionados en el lado derecho del templo cuando el hombre entró; y él atrio interior estaba lleno de la nube.
And the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in, and a cloud filled the inner court.
4 Y la gloria del Señor se levantó del querubin y se detuvo en el umbral de la casa; y la casa estaba llena de la nube y él atrio abierto estaba llena del brillo de la gloria del Señor.
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 Y el sonido de las alas de los querubines era claro incluso en el atrio exterior, como la voz del Dios Todopoderoso cuando habla.
And the sound of the wings of the cherubims was heard even to the outward court as the voice of God Almighty speaking.
6 Y cuando dio órdenes al hombre vestido de lino, diciendo: Toma fuego de entre las ruedas, de entre los querubines, luego entró y tomó su lugar al lado de una rueda.
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 Y extendiendo su mano hacia el fuego que estaba entre los querubines, tomó algo y salió.
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 Y vi la forma de las manos de un hombre entre las alas debajo de sus alas.
And there appeared in the cherubims the likeness of a man’s hand under their wings.
9 Y mirando, vi cuatro ruedas al lado de los querubines, una rueda al lado de un querubín; una rueda para cada querubín; y las ruedas eran como el color de una piedra de berilo, tal vez jaspe amarillo.
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 En su forma, los cuatro eran todos iguales, parecían una rueda dentro de una rueda.
And as to their appearance, all four were alike: as if a wheel were in the midst of a wheel.
11 Cuando se estaban moviendo, iban por sus cuatro lados sin volverse; Fueron tras la cabeza en la dirección en que miraba; Fueron sin volverse.
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 Y todo su cuerpo, espaldas, manos, alas y aun los bordes de las cuatro ruedas estaban llenos de ojos alrededor.
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 En cuanto a las ruedas, alcancé a oír se les decía: torbellino.
And these wheels he called voluble, in my hearing.
14 Y cada uno tenía cuatro caras: la primera cara era la cara de un toro, y la segunda era la cara de un hombre, y la tercera la cara de un león, y la cuarta la cara de un águila.
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 Y los querubines se elevaron: este es el ser vivo que vi junto al río Quebar.
And the cherubims were lifted up: this is the living creature that I had seen by the river Chobar.
16 Y cuando los querubines se fueron, las ruedas se fueron por su lado: y cuando sus alas fueron levantadas para sacarlas de la tierra, las ruedas no se apartaban de su lado.
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 Cuando estaban descansando en su lugar, estos estaban en reposo; cuando fueron levantados, éstos subieron con ellos, porque el espíritu de vida estaba en ellos.
When they stood, these stood: and when they were lifted up, these were lifted up: for the spirit of life was in them.
18 Entonces la gloria del Señor salió por la puerta de la casa y se posó sobre los querubines.
And the glory of the Lord went forth from the threshold of the temple: and stood over the cherubims.
19 Y los querubines, levantando sus alas, subieron de la tierra delante de mis ojos, con las ruedas a su lado; y se detuvieron en la entrada este de la casa del Señor; y la gloria del Dios de Israel estaba sobre ellos en lo alto.
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 Este es el ser vivo que vi bajo el río Quebar bajo el Dios de Israel; y me quedó claro que eran los querubines.
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 Cada uno tenía cuatro caras y cada uno tenía cuatro alas; Y las manos como las de un hombre estaban debajo de sus alas.
Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings: and the likeness of a man’s hand was under their wings.
22 En cuanto a la forma de sus rostros, eran los rostros cuya forma vi por el río Quebar; cuando se fueron, cada uno avanzaba de frente.
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.
