Hesekiel 10
1 Mehwɛe, na mihuu biribi te sɛ bibiri ahengua a ɛsensɛn ntrɛwmu a ɛwɔ kerubim apampam no so.
And I look, and behold, on the expanse that [is] above the head of the cherubim, as a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne, He has been seen over them.
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 speaks to the man clothed with linen and says, “Go into the midst of the wheel, to the place of the cherub, and fill your hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter over the city.” And he goes 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.
And the cherubim are standing on the right side of the house, at the going in of the man, and the cloud has 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.
and the glory of YHWH becomes high above the cherub, over the threshold of the house, and the house is filled with the cloud, and the court has been filled with the brightness of the glory of YHWH.
5 Bere a ɔrekasa no na wɔte kerubim ntaban no nnyigyei no wɔ mfikyiri fam adiwo hɔ te sɛ Otumfo Nyankopɔn nne.
And a noise of the wings of the cherubim has been heard in the outer court, as the voice of God—the Mighty One—in His speaking.
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 comes to pass, in His commanding the man clothed with linen, saying, “Take fire from between the wheel, from between the cherubim,” and he goes in and stands near 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.
that the [one] cherub puts forth his hand from between the cherubim to the fire that [is] between the cherubim, and lifts up, and gives [it] into the hands of him who is clothed with linen, and he receives, and comes forth.
8 (Na wohu biribi te sɛ onipa nsa wɔ kerubim no ntaban ase.)
And there appears in the cherubim the form of a hand of man 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 I look, and behold, four wheels near the cherubim, one wheel near one cherub, and another wheel near the other cherub, and the appearance of the wheels [is] as the color 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, [the] four had one likeness, as it were the wheel in the midst of the 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 go on their four sides; they do not turn around in their going, for to the place to where the head turns, they go after it, they do not turn around 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 all their flesh, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, are full of eyes all around—[the] wheels [the] four had.
13 Metee sɛ wɔrefrɛ nkyimii no se, “mfɛtɛ nkyimii.”
As for the wheels—they were called “Whirling Wheel” in 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 four faces [are] to each; the face of the first [is] the face of the cherub, and the face of the second [is] the face of man, and of the third the face of a lion, and of 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 are lifted up, it [is] the living creature that I saw by the river 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 in the going of the cherubim, the wheels go beside them; and in the cherubim lifting up their wings to be high above the earth, the wheels do not turn around, even they, from being 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.
In their standing they stand, and in their exaltation they are exalted with them: for [the] spirit of the living creature [is] in them.
18 Afei Awurade anuonyam no fii asɔredan no abobow ano na ekogyinaa kerubim no atifi.
And the glory of YHWH goes forth from off the threshold of the house, and stands 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 lift up their wings, and are lifted up from the earth before my eyes; in their going forth, the wheels [are] also alongside them, and he stands at the opening of the east gate of the house of YHWH, and the glory of the God of Israel [is] over them from above.
20 Eyinom ne ateasefo a na mahu wɔn wɔ Israel Nyankopɔn ase wɔ Asubɔnten Kebar ho no, na mihuu sɛ wɔyɛ kerubim.
It [is] the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar, and I know that they are cherubim.
21 Wɔn mu biara wɔ anim anan ne ntaban anan na biribi a ɛte sɛ onipa nsa wowɔ wɔn ntaban ase.
[The] four—each had four faces, and each had four wings, and the likeness of the hands of man [is] 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, they [are] the faces that I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves; they each go straight forward.
