Hesekiel 10
1 Mehwɛe, na mihuu biribi te sɛ bibiri ahengua a ɛsensɛn ntrɛwmu a ɛwɔ kerubim apampam no so.
Then I looked, and see, in the expanse that was over the head of the cherubim there appeared above 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.
He spoke to the man clothed in linen, and said, “Go in between the whirling wheels, even under the cherub, and fill both your hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city.” He went in as I watched.
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 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.
The LORD’s glory mounted 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.
The sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.
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.
It came to pass, when he commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, “Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim,” that he went in and stood beside a 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.
The cherub stretched out his hand from between the cherubim to the fire that was between the cherubim, and took some of it, and put it into the hands of him who was clothed in linen, who took it and went out.
8 (Na wohu biribi te sɛ onipa nsa wɔ kerubim no ntaban ase.)
The form of a man’s hand appeared here in the cherubim under their wings.
9 Mehwɛe, na mihuu nkyimii anan a baako biara gyina kerubim nkyɛn, na nkyimii no pa yerɛw yerɛw te sɛ sikabereɛbo.
I looked, and behold, there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside one cherub, and another wheel beside another cherub. The appearance of the wheels was like a beryl stone.
10 Sɛnea ɛte no de, na nkyimii no nyinaa sesɛ; biara wɔ nkyimii foforo hyɛ mu.
As for their appearance, the four of them had one likeness, like a wheel within 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 in their four directions. They didn’t turn as they went, but to the place where the head looked they followed it. They didn’t turn 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.
Their whole body, including their backs, their hands, their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes all around, even the wheels that the four of them had.
13 Metee sɛ wɔrefrɛ nkyimii no se, “mfɛtɛ nkyimii.”
As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, “the whirling wheels”.
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.
Every one of them had four faces. The first face was the face of the cherub. The second face was the face of a man. The third face was the face of a lion. The fourth was 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.
The cherubim mounted up. This 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.
When the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels also didn’t turn 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. When they mounted up, these mounted 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.
The LORD’s glory went out from over the threshold of the house and stood 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.
The cherubim lifted up their wings and mounted up from the earth in my sight when they went out, with the wheels beside them. Then they 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 Chebar; and I knew 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, and every one four wings. 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.
As for the likeness of their faces, they were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves. They each went straight forward.
