Hesekiel 10
1 Mehwɛe, na mihuu biribi te sɛ bibiri ahengua a ɛsensɛn ntrɛwmu a ɛwɔ kerubim apampam no so.
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 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 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 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 cherubim were standing 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 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 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 wings of the cherubim was heard as far as the outer court, like 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, 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 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 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 (Na wohu biribi te sɛ onipa nsa wɔ kerubim no ntaban ase.)
And there became visible on the cherubim the form of a man's hand beneath their wings.
9 Mehwɛe, na mihuu nkyimii anan a baako biara gyina kerubim nkyɛn, na nkyimii no pa yerɛw yerɛw te sɛ sikabereɛbo.
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 Sɛnea ɛte no de, na nkyimii no nyinaa sesɛ; biara wɔ nkyimii foforo hyɛ mu.
And as for their appearances, the whole four had one likeness, as if a wheel were in the midst of another 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.
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 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 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 Metee sɛ wɔrefrɛ nkyimii no se, “mfɛtɛ nkyimii.”
As for the wheels, they were called Galgal before my ears.
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 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 Afei kerubim no maa wɔn ho so. Eyinom na na wɔyɛ ateasefo a na mahu wɔn wɔ Asubɔnten Kebar ho no.
And the cherubim lifted themselves up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river Kebar.
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 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 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 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 Afei Awurade anuonyam no fii asɔredan no abobow ano na ekogyinaa kerubim no atifi.
And the glory of the Lord went forth from off the threshold of the house, and halted over the cherubim.
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 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 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 Kebar; and I understood that they were cherubim.
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 had 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 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.
