Hesekiel 10
1 Mehwɛe, na mihuu biribi te sɛ bibiri ahengua a ɛsensɛn ntrɛwmu a ɛwɔ kerubim apampam no so.
THEN I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubims there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
2 Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ ɔbarima a ofura nwera no se, “Kɔhyɛ nkyimii a ɛwɔ kerubim ase no mu. Fi kerubim no mu fa nnyansramma hyɛ wo nsa ma na tow pete kuropɔn no so.” Migu so rehwɛ no, ɔkɔhyɛɛ mu.
And he spake unto the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, even under the cherub, and fill thine hand with coals of fire from between the cherubims, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight.
3 Afei na kerubim no gyinagyina asɔredan no anafo fam bere a ɔbarima no kɔhyɛn mu no, na omununkum kɔhyɛɛ fam adiwo hɔ mu ma.
Now the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.
4 Na Awurade anuonyam maa ne ho so fii kerubim no atifi kɔɔ asɔredan no abobow ano. Omununkum no yɛɛ asɔredan no ma, na Awurade anuonyam hyerɛn yɛɛ adiwo hɔ ma.
Then the glory of the Lord went up from the cherub, and stood over 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 Bere a ɔrekasa no na wɔte kerubim ntaban no nnyigyei no wɔ mfikyiri fam adiwo hɔ te sɛ Otumfo Nyankopɔn nne.
And the sound of the cherubims’ wings was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh.
6 Bere a Awurade hyɛɛ ɔbarima a ofura nwera no se, “Yi nnyansramma fi nkyimii no mu, fi kerubim no ase no,” ɔbarima no kɔɔ mu kogyinaa nkyimii no baako ho.
And it came to pass, that when he had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubims; then he went in, and stood beside the wheels.
7 Afei kerubim no mu baako teɛɛ ne nsa hyɛɛ nnyansramma a ɛwɔ wɔn mu no mu. Ɔfaa mu bi de hyɛɛ ɔbarima a ofura nwera no nsam, na ɔno nso gye de fii adi.
And one cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubims unto the fire that was between the cherubims, and took thereof, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linen: who took it, and went out.
8 (Na wohu biribi te sɛ onipa nsa wɔ kerubim no ntaban ase.)
And there appeared in the cherubims the form of a man’s hand under their wings.
9 Mehwɛe, na mihuu nkyimii anan a baako biara gyina kerubim nkyɛn, na nkyimii no pa yerɛw yerɛw te sɛ sikabereɛbo.
And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubims, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was as the colour of a beryl stone.
10 Sɛnea ɛte no de, na nkyimii no nyinaa sesɛ; biara wɔ nkyimii foforo hyɛ mu.
And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel.
11 Sɛ wɔnam a, wɔn nyinaa de wɔn anim kyerɛ nea kerubim baako de nʼanim bɛkyerɛ no; nkyimii no nnan wɔn ho bere a kerubim no nam. Kerubim no kɔ tee wɔ nea eti no anim kyerɛ a ɔnnan ne ho.
When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not as they went, but to the place whither the head looked they followed it; they turned not as they went.
12 Aniwa tuatua wɔn ho nyinaa, wɔn akyi, wɔn nsa ne wɔn ntaban ho nyinaa. Saa ara na nkyimii anan no nso te.
And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about, even the wheels that they four had.
13 Metee sɛ wɔrefrɛ nkyimii no se, “mfɛtɛ nkyimii.”
As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O wheel.
14 Kerubim no mu biara wɔ anim anan. Anim baako te sɛ kerub, nea ɛto so abien te sɛ onipa anim, nea ɛto so abiɛsa te sɛ gyata anim, nea ɛto so anan te sɛ ɔkɔre anim.
And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
15 Afei kerubim no maa wɔn ho so. Eyinom na na wɔyɛ ateasefo a na mahu wɔn wɔ Asubɔnten Kebar ho no.
And the cherubims were lifted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar.
16 Sɛ kerubim no keka wɔn ho a, nkyimii a ɛwowɔ wɔn ho no nso keka wɔn ho; na sɛ kerubim no trɛtrɛw wɔn ntaban mu ma wɔn ho so kɔ wim a, nkyimii no ka wɔn ho ara.
And when the cherubims went, the wheels went by them: and when the cherubims lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also turned not from beside them.
17 Sɛ kerubim no gyinagyina dinn a, nkyimii no nso gyinagyina dinn, na sɛ kerubim no ma wɔn ho so a wɔne wɔn ma wɔn ho so, efisɛ honhom wɔ ateasefo no mu.
When they stood, these stood; and when they were lifted up, these lifted up themselves also: for the spirit of the living creature was in them.
18 Afei Awurade anuonyam no fii asɔredan no abobow ano na ekogyinaa kerubim no atifi.
Then the glory of the Lord departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubims.
19 Merehwɛ no, kerubim no trɛtrɛw wɔn ntaban mu maa wɔn ho so fii fam na nkyimii no ne wɔn kɔe. Wokogyinaa Awurade fi pon a ɛwɔ apuei fam no ano, na na Israel Nyankopɔn anuonyam wɔ wɔn atifi.
And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also were beside them, and every one stood at the door of the east gate of the Lord’s house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
20 Eyinom ne ateasefo a na mahu wɔn wɔ Israel Nyankopɔn ase wɔ Asubɔnten Kebar ho no, na mihuu sɛ wɔyɛ kerubim.
This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they were the cherubims.
21 Wɔn mu biara wɔ anim anan ne ntaban anan na biribi a ɛte sɛ onipa nsa wowɔ wɔn ntaban ase.
Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.
22 Wɔn nyinaa anim te sɛ nea na mahu wɔ Asubɔnten Kebar ho no. Wɔn mu biara kɔ nʼanim tee.
And the likeness of their faces was the same faces which I saw by the river of Chebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one straight forward.
