< Hesekiel 10 >
1 Mehwɛeɛ, na mehunuu biribi te sɛ aboɔdemmoɔ ahennwa a ɛhoho ntrɛmu a ɛwɔ Kerubim apampam no so.
Then I looked, and behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubim 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 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.
And he spoke to the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, [even] under the cherub, and fill thy hand with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter [them] over the city. And he entered in my sight.
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.
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 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.
Then the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub, [and stood] over the threshhold 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 Kerubim ntaban no nnyegyeeɛ no, na wɔte wɔ mfikyire fam adihɔ hɔ te sɛ Otumfoɔ Onyankopɔn nne, ɛberɛ a ɔrekasa.
And the sound of the cherubim's wings was heard [even] to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh.
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.
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 cherubim; then he went in, and stood beside 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.
And [one] cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubim, to the fire that [was] between the cherubim, and took [of it], and put [it] into the hands of [him that was] clothed with linen: who took [it], and went out.
8 (Na wɔhunu biribi te sɛ onipa nsa wɔ Kerubim no ntaban ase.)
And there appeared in the cherubim the form of a man's hand under their wings.
9 Mehwɛeɛ, na mehunuu ntwahonan ɛnan a baako biara gyina Kerubim nkyɛn, na ntwahonan no pa yerɛ yerɛ te sɛ sikabereɛboɔ.
And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubim, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels [was] as the color of a beryl stone.
10 Sɛdeɛ ɛteɛ no deɛ, na ntwahonan no nyinaa sesɛ; ebiara wɔ ntwahonan foforɔ 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 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.
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 Wɔn ho nyinaa, wɔn akyi, wɔn nsa ne wɔn ntaban nyinaa, aniwa tuatua ho. Saa ara na ntwahonan ɛnan no nso teɛ.
And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, [were] full of eyes on every side, [even] the wheels that they four had.
13 Metee sɛ wɔrefrɛ ntwahonan no, “kyinhyia ntwahonan.”
As for the wheels, it was cried to them in my hearing, O wheel.
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.
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 pagyaa wɔn ho. Yeinom na na wɔyɛ ateasefoɔ a na mahunu wɔn wɔ Asubɔnten Kebar ho no.
And the cherubim were lifted up. This [is] the living creature that I saw by the river of Kebar.
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.
And when the cherubim went, the wheels went by them: and when the cherubim 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, 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 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 animuonyam no firii asɔredan no aboboano na ɛkɔgyinaa Kerubim no atifi.
Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the threshhold of the house, and stood over the cherubim.
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.
And the cherubim 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 Yeinom ne ateasefoɔ a na mahunu wɔn wɔ Israel Onyankopɔn ase wɔ Asubɔnten Kebar ho no, na medwene hunuiɛ sɛ wɔyɛ Kerubim.
This [is] the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Kebar; and I knew that they [were] the cherubim.
21 Wɔn mu biara wɔ animu ɛnan ne ataban ɛnan na biribi a ɛte sɛ onipa nsa wowɔ wɔn ntaban ase.
Every one had four faces each, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man [was] under their wings.
22 Wɔn nyinaa animu te sɛ deɛ na mahunu 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 Kebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one straight forward.
