Hesekiel 10
1 Mehwɛeɛ, na mehunuu biribi te sɛ aboɔdemmoɔ ahennwa a ɛhoho ntrɛmu a ɛwɔ Kerubim apampam no so.
Then [in the vision] I saw what resembled a throne made of (sapphire/[a very valuable] blue stone). It was above the thing that resembled a dome that was above the heads of the four winged creatures.
2 Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ ɔbarima a ɔfira nwera no sɛ, “Kɔhyɛ ntwahonan a ɛwɔ Kerubim ase no mu. Fa egyasramma nsabuo firi Kerubim no mu na to pete kuropɔn no so.” Megu so rehwɛ no, ɔkɔhyɛɛ mu.
Yahweh said to the man wearing the linen robe, “Go between the wheels that are under the winged creatures. Pick up as many hot coals as you can, and scatter them over the city.” And while I watched, the man wearing the linen robe left.
3 Afei na Kerubim no gyinagyina asɔredan no anafoɔ fam ɛberɛ a ɔbarima no kɔhyɛnee mu no, na omununkum kɔhyɛɛ emu fam adihɔ hɔ ma.
The four winged creatures were standing on the south side of the temple when the man wearing the linen robe entered. Then a cloud filled the inner courtyard [of the temple area].
4 Na Awurade animuonyam pagyaa ne ho firii Kerubim no atifi kɔɔ asɔredan no aboboano. Omununkum no yɛɛ asɔredan no ma na Awurade animuonyam hyerɛn yɛɛ adihɔ hɔ ma.
And the (glory/dazzling light) of Yahweh rose up from above the winged creatures and went to the entrance of the temple. The cloud filled the temple, and the courtyard was full of the (glory/dazzling light) of Yahweh.
5 Kerubim ntaban no nnyegyeeɛ no, na wɔte wɔ mfikyire fam adihɔ hɔ te sɛ Otumfoɔ Onyankopɔn nne, ɛberɛ a ɔrekasa.
The sound made by the wings of the winged creatures could be heard as far away as the courtyard outside the temple. It [very loud], like [SIM] the voice of Almighty God when he speaks.
6 Ɛberɛ a Awurade hyɛɛ ɔbarima a ɔfira nwera no sɛ, “Yi egyasramma firi ntwahonan no mu, firi Kerubim no ase no,” ɔbarima no kɔɔ mu kɔgyinaa ntwahonan no baako ho.
When Yahweh commanded the man wearing the linen robe to take burning coals from among those winged creatures, the man went [the courtyard] and stood beside one of the wheels.
7 Afei, Kerubim no mu baako tenee ne nsa hyɛɛ egyasramma a ɛwɔ wɔn mu no mu. Ɔfaa mu bi de hyɛɛ ɔbarima a ɔfira nwera no nsam, na ɔno nso gyeeɛ de firii adi.
Then one of those winged creatures reached out his hand to the fire that was there among them. He picked up some of the coals and put them in the hands of the man wearing the linen robe, and that man took them and left.
8 (Na wɔhunu biribi te sɛ onipa nsa wɔ Kerubim no ntaban ase.)
Under the wings of the winged creatures was something that resembled a human’s hands.
9 Mehwɛeɛ, na mehunuu ntwahonan ɛnan a baako biara gyina Kerubim nkyɛn, na ntwahonan no pa yerɛ yerɛ te sɛ sikabereɛboɔ.
Then [in the vision] I saw four wheels alongside the winged creatures. There was one wheel beside each of the winged creatures. The wheels shone like [SIM] very valuable stones.
10 Sɛdeɛ ɛteɛ no deɛ, na ntwahonan no nyinaa sesɛ; ebiara wɔ ntwahonan foforɔ hyɛ mu.
The wheels were all alike: Each had one wheel inside another wheel.
11 Sɛ wɔnam a, wɔn nyinaa de wɔn anim kyerɛ deɛ Kerubim baako de nʼanim bɛkyerɛ. Ntwahonan no nnane wɔn ho ɛberɛ a Kerubim no nam. Kerubim no kɔ tee deɛ etire no anim kyerɛ a ɔnnane ne ho.
Whenever they moved, they went straight in whatever direction one of the winged creatures faced. The wheels did not turn in another direction while the winged creatures flew.
12 Wɔn ho nyinaa, wɔn akyi, wɔn nsa ne wɔn ntaban nyinaa, aniwa tuatua ho. Saa ara na ntwahonan ɛnan no nso teɛ.
Their bodies, including their backs and hands and wings, were covered with eyes. The wheels were also covered with eyes.
13 Metee sɛ wɔrefrɛ ntwahonan no, “kyinhyia ntwahonan.”
I heard someone call them ‘the whirling wheels’.
14 Kerubim no mu biara wɔ anim ɛnan. Anim baako te sɛ kerub, deɛ ɛtɔ so mmienu te sɛ onipa anim, deɛ ɛtɔ so mmiɛnsa te sɛ gyata anim, deɛ ɛtɔ so ɛnan te sɛ ɔkɔdeɛ anim.
Each of the winged creatures had four faces. One face was like the face of a bull, one face was like the face of a human, one face was like the face of a lion, and one face was like the face of an eagle.
15 Afei, Kerubim no pagyaa wɔn ho. Yeinom na na wɔyɛ ateasefoɔ a na mahunu wɔn wɔ Asubɔnten Kebar ho no.
Then the winged creatures rose up. They were the same living creatures that I had seen alongside the Kebar River/Canal.
16 Sɛ Kerubim no keka wɔn ho a, ntwahonan a ɛwowɔ wɔn ho no nso keka wɔn ho; na sɛ Kerubim no trɛtrɛ wɔn ntaban mu pagya wɔn ho kɔ ewiem a, ntwahonan no ka wɔn ho ara.
When the winged creatures moved, the wheels moved with them. When the winged creatures spread their wings to fly over the ground, the wheels did not leave them.
17 Sɛ Kerubim no gyinagyina dinn a, ntwahonan no nso gyinagyina dinn, na sɛ Kerubim no pagya wɔn ho a, wɔne wɔn pagya wɔn ho, ɛfiri sɛ, ateasefoɔ no honhom wɔ wɔn mu.
When the winged creatures stopped, the wheels stopped. When the winged creatures started to fly, the wheels flew with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
18 Afei, Awurade animuonyam no firii asɔredan no aboboano na ɛkɔgyinaa Kerubim no atifi.
Then the (glory/dazzling light) left the entrance of the temple and stopped above the winged creatures.
19 Merehwɛ no, Kerubim no trɛtrɛɛ wɔn ntaban mu pagyaa wɔn ho firii fam na ntwahonan no ne wɔn kɔɔeɛ. Wɔkɔgyinaa Awurade efie ɛpono a ɛwɔ apueeɛ fam no ano, na na Israel Onyankopɔn animuonyam wɔ wɔn atifi.
While I watched, the winged creatures spread their wings and started to fly, and the wheels went with them. They stopped at the gate on the east side of the temple area, and the (glory/dazzling light) of God, the one whom the [had worshiped], was above them.
20 Yeinom ne ateasefoɔ a na mahunu wɔn wɔ Israel Onyankopɔn ase wɔ Asubɔnten Kebar ho no, na medwene hunuiɛ sɛ wɔyɛ Kerubim.
Those were the [same] four living creatures that I had seen alongside the Kebar River/Canal, and I realized that they were the winged creatures.
21 Wɔn mu biara wɔ animu ɛnan ne ataban ɛnan na biribi a ɛte sɛ onipa nsa wowɔ wɔn ntaban ase.
Each of them had four faces and four wings, and under their wings was what resembled a human’s hands.
22 Wɔn nyinaa animu te sɛ deɛ na mahunu wɔ Asubɔnten Kebar ho no. Wɔn mu biara kɔ nʼanim tee.
Their faces were the same as the faces that I had seen at the Kebar River/Canal. Each of them flew straight ahead.
