Ezekiel 10

1 And I looked and saw above the expanse, above the heads of the cherubim, the likeness of a throne of sapphire.

1 ثُمَّ نَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا عَلَى ٱلْمُقَبَّبِ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى رَأْسِ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمِ شَيْءٌ كَحَجَرِ ٱلْعَقِيقِ ٱلْأَزْرَقِ، كَمَنْظَرِ شِبْهِ عَرْشٍ.

2 And the LORD said to the man clothed in linen, “Go inside the wheelwork beneath the cherubim. Fill your hands with burning coals from among the cherubim and scatter them over the city.” And as I watched, he went in.

2 وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّجُلَ ٱللَّابِسَ ٱلْكَتَّانِ وَقَالَ: «ٱدْخُلْ بَيْنَ ٱلْبَكَرَاتِ تَحْتَ ٱلْكَرُوبِ وَٱمْلَأْ حَفْنَتَيْكَ جَمْرَ نَارٍ مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمِ، وَذَرِّهَا عَلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ». فَدَخَلَ قُدَّامَ عَيْنَيَّ.

3 Now when the man went in, the cherubim were standing on the south side of the temple, and a cloud filled the inner court.

3 وَٱلْكَرُوبِيمُ وَاقِفُونَ عَنْ يَمِينِ ٱلْبَيْتِ حِينَ دَخَلَ ٱلرَّجُلُ، وَٱلسَّحَابَةُ مَلَأَتِ ٱلدَّارَ ٱلدَّاخِلِيَّةَ.

4 Then the glory of the LORD rose from above the cherubim and stood over the threshold of the temple. The temple was filled with the cloud, and the court was filled with the brightness of the glory of the LORD.

4 فَٱرْتَفَعَ مَجْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَنِ ٱلْكَرُوبِ إِلَى عَتَبَةِ ٱلْبَيْتِ. فَٱمْتَلَأَ ٱلْبَيْتُ مِنَ ٱلسَّحَابَةِ، وَٱمْتَلَأَتِ ٱلدَّارُ مِنْ لَمَعَانِ مَجْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

5 The sound of the wings of the cherubim could be heard as far as the outer court, like the voice of God Almighty when He speaks.

5 وَسُمِعَ صَوْتُ أَجْنِحَةِ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمِ إِلَى ٱلدَّارِ ٱلْخَارِجِيَّةِ كَصَوْتِ ٱللهِ ٱلْقَدِيرِ إِذَا تَكَلَّمَ.

6 When the LORD commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, “Take fire from within the wheelwork, from among the cherubim,” the man went in and stood beside a wheel.

6 وَكَانَ لَمَّا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّجُلَ ٱللَّابِسَ ٱلْكَتَّانِ قَائِلًا: «خُذْ نَارًا مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلْبَكَرَاتِ، مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمِ» أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ وَوَقَفَ بِجَانِبِ ٱلْبَكَرَةِ.

7 Then one of the cherubim reached out his hand and took some of the fire that was among them. And he put it into the hands of the man clothed in linen, who received it and went out.

7 وَمَدَّ كَرُوبٌ يَدَهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمِ إِلَى ٱلنَّارِ ٱلَّتِي بَيْنَ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمِ، فَرَفَعَ مِنْهَا وَوَضَعَهَا فِي حَفْنَتَيِ ٱللَّابِسِ ٱلْكَتَّانِ، فَأَخَذَهَا وَخَرَجَ.

8 (The cherubim appeared to have the form of human hands under their wings.)

8 فَظَهَرَ فِي ٱلْكَرُوبِيمِ شِبْهُ يَدِ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْ تَحْتِ أَجْنِحَتِهَا.

9 Then I looked and saw four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub. And the wheels gleamed like a beryl stone.

9 وَنَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا أَرْبَعُ بَكَرَاتٍ بِجَانِبِ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمِ. بَكَرَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ بِجَانِبِ ٱلْكَرُوبِ ٱلْوَاحِدِ، وَبَكَرَةٌ أُخْرَى بِجَانِبِ ٱلْكَرُوبِ ٱلْآخَرِ. وَمَنْظَرُ ٱلْبَكَرَاتِ كَشِبْهِ حَجَرِ ٱلزَّبَرْجَدِ.

10 As for their appearance, all four had the same form, like a wheel within a wheel.

10 وَمَنْظَرُهُنَّ شَكْلٌ وَاحِدٌ لِلْأَرْبَعِ. كَأَنَّهُ كَانَ بَكْرَةٌ وَسْطِ بَكْرَةٍ.

11 When they moved, they would go in any of the four directions, without turning as they moved. For wherever the head faced, the cherubim would go in that direction, without turning as they moved.

11 لَمَّا سَارَتْ، سَارَتْ عَلَى جَوَانِبِهَا ٱلْأَرْبَعَةِ. لَمْ تَدُرْ عِنْدَ سَيْرِهَا، بَلْ إِلَى ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي تَوَجَّهَ إِلَيْهِ ٱلرَّأْسُ ذَهَبَتْ وَرَاءَهُ. لَمْ تَدُرْ عِنْدَ سَيْرِهَا.

12 Their entire bodies, including their backs, hands, and wings, were full of eyes all around, as were their four wheels.

12 وَكُلُّ جِسْمِهَا وَظُهُورِهَا وَأَيْدِيهَا وَأَجْنِحَتِهَا وَٱلْبَكَرَاتِ مَلْآنَةٌ عُيُونًا حَوَالَيْهَا لِبَكَرَاتِهَا ٱلْأَرْبَعِ.

13 I heard the wheels being called “the whirling wheels.”

13 أَمَّا ٱلْبَكَرَاتُ فَنُودِيَ إِلَيْهَا فِي سَمَاعِي: «يَا بَكْرَةُ».

14 Each of the cherubim had four faces: the first face was that of a cherub, the second that of a man, the third that of a lion, and the fourth that of an eagle.

14 وَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ أَرْبَعَةُ أَوْجُهٍ: ٱلْوَجْهُ ٱلْأَوَّلُ وَجْهُ كَرُوبٍ، وَٱلْوَجْهُ ٱلثَّانِي وَجْهُ إِنْسَانٍ، وَٱلثَّالِثُ وَجْهُ أَسَدٍ، وَٱلرَّابِعُ وَجْهُ نَسْرٍ.

15 Then the cherubim rose upward. These were the living creatures I had seen by the River Kebar.

15 ثُمَّ صَعِدَ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمُ. هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْحَيَوَانُ ٱلَّذِي رَأَيْتُهُ عِنْدَ نَهْرِ خَابُورَ.

16 When the cherubim moved, the wheels moved beside them, and even when they spread their wings to rise from the ground, the wheels did not veer away from their side.

16 وَعِنْدَ سَيْرِ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمِ سَارَتِ ٱلْبَكَرَاتُ بِجَانِبِهَا، وَعِنْدَ رَفْعِ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمِ أَجْنِحَتَهَا لِلِٱرْتِفَاعِ عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ لَمْ تَدُرِ ٱلْبَكَرَاتُ أَيْضًا عَنْ جَانِبِهَا.

17 When the cherubim stood still, the wheels also stood still, and when they ascended, the wheels ascended with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

17 عِنْدَ وُقُوفِهَا وَقَفَتْ هَذِهِ، وَعِنْدَ ٱرْتِفَاعِهَا ٱرْتَفَعَتْ مَعَهَا، لِأَنَّ فِيهَا رُوحَ ٱلْحَيَوَانِ.

18 Then the glory of the LORD moved away from the threshold of the temple and stood above the cherubim.

18 وَخَرَجَ مَجْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ مِنْ عَلَى عَتَبَةِ ٱلْبَيْتِ وَوَقَفَ عَلَى ٱلْكَرُوبِيمِ.

19 As I watched, the cherubim lifted their wings and rose up from the ground, with the wheels beside them as they went. And they stopped at the entrance of the east gate of the house of the LORD, with the glory of the God of Israel above them.

19 فَرَفَعَتِ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمُ أَجْنِحَتَهَا وَصَعِدَتْ عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ قُدَّامَ عَيْنَيَّ. عِنْدَ خُرُوجِهَا كَانَتِ ٱلْبَكَرَاتُ مَعَهَا، وَوَقَفَتْ عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ بَابِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلشَّرْقِيِّ، وَمَجْدُ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ فَوْقُ.

20 These were the living creatures I had seen beneath the God of Israel by the River Kebar, and I knew that they were cherubim.

20 هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْحَيَوَانُ ٱلَّذِي رَأَيْتُهُ تَحْتَ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ عِنْدَ نَهْرِ خَابُورَ. وَعَلِمْتُ أَنَّهَا هِيَ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمُ.

21 Each had four faces and four wings, with what looked like human hands under their wings.

21 لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ أَرْبَعَةُ أَوْجُهٍ، وَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ أَرْبَعَةُ أَجْنِحَةٍ، وَشِبْهُ أَيْدِي إِنْسَانٍ تَحْتَ أَجْنِحَتِهَا.

22 Their faces looked like the faces I had seen by the River Kebar. Each creature went straight ahead.

22 وَشَكْلُ وُجُوهِهَا هُوَ شَكْلُ ٱلْوُجُوهِ ٱلَّتِي رَأَيْتُهَا عِنْدَ نَهْرِ خَابُورَ مَنَاظِرُهَا وَذَوَاتُهَا. كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ يَسِيرُ إِلَى جِهَةِ وَجْهِهِ.
