< Ezekieli 10 >
1 Nikatazama, nikaona juu ya ile nafasi iliyokuwa juu ya vichwa vya wale makerubi kulikuwa na kitu mfano wa kiti cha enzi cha yakuti samawi.
And I saw and there! [was] to the expanse which [was] above [the] head of the cherubim like a stone of sapphire like [the] appearance of [the] likeness of a throne it appeared above them.
2 Bwana akamwambia mtu yule aliyekuwa amevaa nguo ya kitani, “Ingia katikati ya yale Magurudumu yaliyo chini ya makerubi. Ukaijaze mikono yako makaa ya mawe ya moto kutoka katikati ya makerubi na uyatawanye juu ya mji.” Nilipokuwa nikiangalia, akaingia ndani.
And he said to the man - clothed of the linen and he said go to between the wheel to under the cherub and fill cupped hands your coals of fire from between the cherubim and sprinkle [them] on the city and he went to eyes my.
3 Basi wale makerubi walikuwa wamesimama upande wa kusini wa Hekalu wakati yule mtu alipoingia ndani, wingu likaujaza ule ukumbi wa ndani.
And the cherubim [were] standing from [the] south of the house when went he the man and the cloud it filled the court inner.
4 Kisha utukufu wa Bwana ukainuka kutoka juu ya wale makerubi ukaenda kwenye kizingiti cha Hekalu. Wingu likajaza Hekalu, nao ukumbi ukajawa na mngʼao wa utukufu wa Bwana.
And it rose [the] glory of Yahweh from on the cherub to [the] threshold of the house and it was filled the house the cloud and the court it was full [the] brightness of [the] glory of Yahweh.
5 Sauti ya mabawa ya wale makerubi ingeweza kusikika mpaka kwenye ukumbi wa nje, kama sauti ya Mungu Mwenyezi wakati anapoongea.
And [the] sound of [the] wings of the cherubim it was heard to the court outer like [the] sound of God Almighty when speaks he.
6 Bwana alipomwamuru yule mtu aliyevaa nguo za kitani akisema, “Chukua moto toka katikati ya magurudumu, kutoka katikati ya makerubi,” yule mtu aliingia ndani akasimama pembeni mwa gurudumu.
And it was when commanded he the man clothed of the linen saying take fire from between the wheel from between the cherubim and he went and he stood beside the wheel.
7 Ndipo mmoja wa wale makerubi akanyoosha mkono wake kwenye moto uliokuwa katikati yao. Akachukua baadhi ya moto na kuutia mikononi mwa yule mtu aliyevaa mavazi ya kitani, naye akaupokea akatoka nje.
And he stretched out the cherub hand his from between the cherubim into the fire which [was] between the cherubim and he lifted up [some] and he put [it] into [the] cupped hands of [the] [man] clothed of the linen and he took [it] and he went out.
8 (Chini ya mabawa ya makerubi paliweza kuonekana kitu kilichofanana na mikono ya mwanadamu.)
And it was seen to the cherubim [the] form of [the] hand of a human under wings their.
9 Nikatazama, nikaona magurudumu manne kando ya makerubi, moja kando ya kila kerubi. Magurudumu hayo yalimetameta kama kito cha zabarajadi.
And I saw and there! four wheels [were] beside the cherubim a wheel one beside the cherub one and a wheel one beside the cherub one and [the] appearance of the wheels [was] like [the] appearance of a stone of chrysolite.
10 Kule kuonekana kwake, yote manne yalifanana kila gurudumu lilikuwa kama linazunguka ndani ya lingine.
And appearance their a likeness one [belonged] to [the] four of them just as it was the wheel in [the] middle of the wheel.
11 Yalipozunguka, yalikwenda kokote katika pande nne walikoelekea wale makerubi. Magurudumu hayakugeuka wakati makerubi yalipokwenda. Makerubi walikwenda upande wowote kichwa kilikoelekea pasipo kugeuka walipokuwa wakienda.
When moved they to [the] four sides their they moved not they turned when moved they for the place which it turned the head after it they moved not they turned when moved they.
12 Miili yao yote, pamoja na migongo yao, mikono na mabawa yao yote yalikuwa yamejaa macho kabisa kama yalivyokuwa yale magurudumu yao manne.
And all body their and backs their and hands their and wings their and the wheels [were] full eyes all around [belonged] to [the] four of them wheels their.
13 Nikasikia magurudumu yakiitwa, “Magurudumu ya kisulisuli.”
To the wheels to them it was called the wheel in ears my.
14 Kila mmoja wa wale makerubi alikuwa na nyuso nne: Uso mmoja ulikuwa kama vile wa kerubi, uso wa pili ulikuwa wa mwanadamu, uso wa tatu ulikuwa wa simba na uso wa nne ulikuwa wa tai.
And four faces [belonged] to one [the] face of the one [was] [the] face of the cherub and [the] face of the second [was the] face of a human and the third [face] [was the] face of a lion and the fourth [face] [was the] face of an eagle.
15 Kisha makerubi wakapaa juu. Hawa ndio wale viumbe walio hai niliowaona kando ya Mto Kebari.
And they rose the cherubim that [was] the living creature which I had seen at [the] river of Kebar.
16 Wakati makerubi walipokwenda, magurudumu yaliyoko kando yao yalikwenda na wakati makerubi walipotanda mabawa yao wapate kupaa juu kutoka ardhi, magurudumu yale hayakuondoka pembeni mwao.
And when moved the cherubim they moved the wheels beside them and when lifted up the cherubim wings their to rise from on the earth not they turned the wheels also they from beside them.
17 Makerubi yaliposimama kimya, nayo pia yalitulia kimya, nao makerubi yalipoinuka juu, magurudumu nayo yaliinuka juu pamoja nao, kwa sababu roho ya vile viumbe hai ilikuwa ndani yake.
When stood still they they stood still and when rose they they rose with them for [the] spirit of the living creature [was] in them.
18 Kisha utukufu wa Bwana ukaondoka pale kwenye kizingiti cha Hekalu na kusimama juu ya wale makerubi.
And it went out [the] glory of Yahweh from at [the] threshold of the house and it stood still above the cherubim.
19 Nilipokuwa nikitazama, makerubi yakatanda mabawa yao na kuinuka kutoka ardhini, nao walipokuwa wakienda, yale magurudumu yakaenda pamoja nao. Wakasimama kwenye ingilio la lango la mashariki la nyumba ya Bwana, nao utukufu wa Mungu wa Israeli ukawa juu yao.
And they lifted up the cherubim wings their and they rose from the earth to eyes my when went out they and the wheels [were] close by them and it stood still [the] entrance of [the] gate of [the] house of Yahweh eastern and [the] glory of [the] God of Israel [was] above them from to above.
20 Hawa walikuwa ndio viumbe hai niliokuwa nimewaona chini ya Mungu wa Israeli kando ya Mto Kebari, nami nikatambua ya kuwa hao walikuwa makerubi.
That [was] the living creature which I had seen under [the] God of Israel at [the] river of Kebar and I knew that [were] cherubim they.
21 Kila mmoja alikuwa na nyuso nne, mabawa manne, chini ya mabawa yao kulikuwa na kile kilichoonekana kama mikono ya mwanadamu.
Four four faces [belonged] to one and four wings [belonged] to one and [the] likeness of [the] hands of a human [were] under wings their.
22 Nyuso zao zilifanana kama zile nilizokuwa nimeziona kando ya Mto Kebari. Kila mmoja alikwenda mbele moja kwa moja.
And [the] likeness of faces their they [were] the faces which I had seen at [the] river of Kebar appearance their and them each to [the] side of face its they moved.
