1 Olhei e vi algo semelhante a um trono de safira sobre a abóbada que estava por cima das cabeças dos querubins.

2 O Senhor disse ao homem vestido de linho: "Vá entre as rodas por baixo dos querubins. Encha as mãos com brasas ardentes de entre os querubins e espalhe-as sobre a cidade". E, enquanto eu observava, ele foi.

3 Ora, os querubins estavam no lado sul do templo quando o homem entrou, e uma nuvem encheu o pátio interno.

4 Então a glória do Senhor levantou-se de cima dos querubins e moveu-se para a entrada do templo. A nuvem encheu o templo, e o pátio foi tomado pelo resplendor da glória do Senhor.

5 O som das asas dos querubins podia ser ouvido até no pátio externo, como a voz do Deus Todo-poderoso, quando ele fala.

6 Quando o Senhor ordenou ao homem vestido de linho: "Apanhe fogo do meio das rodas, do meio dos querubins", o homem foi e colocou-se ao lado de uma roda.

7 Então um dos querubins estendeu a mão no fogo que estava no meio deles. Apanhou algumas brasas e as colocou nas mãos do homem vestido de linho, que as recebeu e saiu.

8 ( Debaixo das asas dos querubins podia-se ver o que se parecia com mãos humanas. )

9 Olhei e vi ao lado dos querubins quatro rodas, uma ao lado de cada um dos querubins; as rodas reluziam como berilo.

10 Quanto à sua aparência, eram iguais, e cada uma parecia estar entrosada na outra.

11 Enquanto se moviam, elas iam em qualquer uma das quatro direções que tomavam os querubins; as rodas não se viravam enquanto os querubins se moviam. Eles seguiam qualquer direção à sua frente, sem se virar.

12 Seus corpos, inclusive as costas, as mãos e as asas, estavam completamente cheios de olhos, como as suas quatro rodas.

13 Ouvi que chamavam às rodas, "rodas rotatórias".

14 Cada um dos querubins tinha quatro rostos: Um rosto era o de um querubim, o segundo, de um homem, o terceiro, de um leão, e o quarto, de uma águia.

15 Então os querubins se elevaram. Eram os mesmos seres viventes que eu tinha visto junto ao rio Quebar.

16 Quando os querubins se moviam, as rodas ao lado deles se moviam; e, quando os querubins estendiam as asas para erguer-se do chão, as rodas também iam com eles.

17 Quando os querubins se mantinham imóveis, elas também ficavam imóveis; e, quando os querubins se levantavam, elas se levantavam com eles, porque o espírito dos seres viventes estava nelas.

18 Então a glória do Senhor afastou-se da entrada do templo e parou sobre os querubins.

19 Enquanto eu observava, os querubins estenderam as asas e se ergueram do chão, e as rodas foram com eles. Eles pararam à entrada da porta oriental do templo do Senhor, e a glória do Deus de Israel estava sobre eles.

20 Esses seres viventes eram os mesmos que eu vi debaixo do Deus de Israel junto ao rio Quebar, e percebi que eles eram querubins.

21 Cada um tinha quatro rostos e quatro asas, e debaixo de suas asas havia o que pareciam mãos humanas.

22 Seus rostos tinham a mesma aparência daqueles que eu tinha visto junto ao rio Quebar. Todos iam sempre para a frente.

1 Then looked I. and lo! in the expanses which was over the head of the cherubim as a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne, appeared over them.

2 Then said he unto the man clothed in linenthen said he Go in between the whirling wheels, even under the cherub, and fl both thy hands with live coals of fire from between the cherubim, and throw over the city. So he went in before mine eyes.

3 Now the cherubim were standing on the right side of the house when the man went in,and, the, cloud filled the inner court,

4 Then arose the glory of Yahweh from off the cherub, unto the threshold of the house,and the house was fled with the cloud, and the, court, was fled with the brightness of the glory of Yahweh.

5 And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard, as far as the outer court,like the voice of the Almighty GOD when he speaketh,

6 So then it came to pass when he commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim, then went he in and stood beside the wheel.

7 And the cherub put forth his hand from between the cherubim unto the fire that was between the cherubim, and took up thereof and gave into the hands of him who was clothed with linen,who took

8 Now the cherubim appeared to have. the likeness of the hand of a man, under their wings.

9 Then looked I. and lo! four wheels by the cherubimone wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub,and the appearance of the wheels was to look upon like a Tarshish stone;

10 and as for their appearance, one likeness had they our,-as might be a wheel in the midst of a wheel.

11 When they went, upon their four sides, they went, they turned not when they went, for to the place whithersoever the heads turned, after it, they went, they turned not when they went.

12 And all their flesh, and their back, and their hands and their wings, and the wheels were full of eyes round about, even their wheels which they four had

13 To the wheelsto them, was made the cry O whirling wheel! in mine ears.

14 And four faces had each one,the first face, was the face of a cherub, and, the second face, was the face of a man and the third was the face of a lion. and the fourth, was the face of an eagle.

15 Then arose the cherubim,the same, was the living one, which I had seen by the river Chebar.

16 When the cherubim went, then went the wheels beside them,and when the cherubim lifted up their wings, to arise from off the earth, the wheels themselves turned not from beside them;

17 when they stood, these stood, and when they arose, these arose with them,for the spirit of the living ones was in them.

18 And when the glory of Yahweh went forth from off the threshold of the house,and stood over the cherubim,

19 then the cherubim uplifted their wings and arose from the earth before mine eyes as they went forth, the wheels also in unison with them,and it stood at the opening of the gate of the house of Yahweh that was toward the east, with the glory of the God of Israel over them, above.

20 The same, was the living one which I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar,- then knew I that cherubim, they were.

21 Four faces severally, had each one, and four wings, had each one,and the likeness of the hands of a man, was under their wings.

22 And as for the likeness of their faces, They were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves every one straight before him, did they go.
