1 Olhei, e eis que no firmamento que estava por cima da cabeça dos querubins, apareceu sobre eles uma como pedra de safira, como a aparência da semelhança de trono.

2 E falou ao homem vestido de linho, dizendo: Entra no meio das rodas giradoras até debaixo do querubim, e enche ambas as mãos de brasas de fogo, tirando-as dentre os querubins, e espalha-as sobre a cidade. Ele entrou à minha vista.

3 Ora os querubins estavam de pé ao lado direito da casa, quando entrou o homem; e a nuvem encheu o átrio interior.

4 A glória de Jeová elevou-se de cima do querubim, e pôs-se sobre a entrada da casa; a casa encheu-se da nuvem e ficou cheia do resplendor da glória de Jeová.

5 O ruído das asas dos querubins ouvia-se até o átrio exterior, como a voz de Deus Todo-poderoso, quando fala.

6 Quando Jeová deu ordem ao homem vestido de linho, dizendo: Toma fogo do meio das rodas giradoras dentre os querubins, esse homem entrou e pôs-se de pé junto a uma roda.

7 O querubim estendeu do meio dos querubins a mão para o fogo que estava entre os querubins, tomou dele e pô-lo nas mãos daquele que estava vestido de linho, o qual o tomou e saiu.

8 Apareceu nos querubins a forma da mão de homem debaixo das suas asas.

9 Olhei, e eis quatro rodas junto aos querubins, uma roda junto a um querubim, e outra roda junto a outro querubim; e a aparência das rodas era como o brilho de pedra de berilo.

10 Quanto à sua aparência, as quatro tinham uma só semelhança, como se uma roda estivesse dentro de outra roda.

11 Quando iam, iam pelos seus quatro lados; e não se voltavam quando iam, mas para o lugar para onde olhava a cabeça, para esse a seguiam; não se voltavam, quando iam.

12 Todo o corpo delas, e as suas costas, e as suas mãos, e as suas asas, e as suas rodas, as rodas que as quatro tinham, estavam cheias de olhos ao redor.

13 Quanto às rodas, a elas se lhes chamou rodas giradoras, ouvindo-o eu.

14 Cada uma das criaturas viventes tinha quatro rostos: o rosto da primeira era rosto de querubim; o rosto da segunda era rosto de homem, o terceiro rosto era rosto de leão, e o quarto rosto era rosto de águia.

15 Os querubins se elevavam. Esta é a criatura vivente que vi junto ao rio Quebar.

16 Quando os querubins iam, iam as rodas ao lado deles; e quando os querubins levantavam as suas asas para se elevarem da terra, também as rodas não se separavam do lado deles.

17 Quando aqueles paravam, estas paravam; e quando aqueles se elevavam, estas se elevavam também com eles. Pois o espírito da criatura vivente estava nelas.

18 A glória de Jeová saiu de sobre a entrada da casa, e pôs-se sobre os querubins.

19 Os querubins levantaram as suas asas, e elevaram-se da terra, quando saíram acompanhados pelas rodas ao lado deles; pararam à entrada da porta oriental da casa de Jeová, e a glória do Deus de Israel estava em cima sobre eles.

20 Esta é a criatura vivente que vi debaixo do Deus de Israel junto ao rio Quebar; e conheci que eram querubins.

21 Cada uma das criaturas viventes tinha de per si quatro rostos, e cada uma quatro asas; e a semelhança das mãos de homem estava debaixo das suas asas.

22 Quanto à semelhança dos seus rostos, eram os rostos que vi junto ao rio Quebar, as suas aparências e elas mesmas; cada um ia para adiante de si.

1 Then looking, I saw that on the arch which was over the head of the winged ones there was seen over them what seemed like a sapphire stone, having the form of a king's seat.

2 And he said to the man clothed in linen, Go in between the wheels, under the winged ones, and get your two hands full of burning coals from between the winged ones and send them in a shower over the town. And he went in before my eyes.

3 Now the winged ones were stationed on the right side of the house when the man went in; and the inner square was full of the cloud.

4 And the glory of the Lord went up from the winged ones and came to rest over the doorstep of the house; and the house was full of the cloud and the open square was full of the shining of the Lord's glory.

5 And the sound of the wings of the winged ones was clear even in the outer square, like the voice of the Ruler of all.

6 And when he gave orders to the man clothed in linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the winged ones, then he went in and took his place at the side of a wheel.

7 And stretching out his hand to the fire which was between the winged ones, he took some of it and went out.

8 And I saw the form of a man's hands among the winged ones under their wings.

9 And looking, I saw four wheels by the side of the winged ones, one wheel by the side of a winged one and another wheel by the side of another: and the wheels were like the colour of a beryl stone to the eye.

10 In form the four of them were all the same, they seemed like a wheel inside a wheel.

11 When they were moving, they went on their four sides without turning; they went after the head in the direction in which it was looking; they went without turning.

12 And the edges of the four wheels were full of eyes round about.

13 As for the wheels, they were named in my hearing, the circling wheels.

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

15 And the winged ones went up on high: this is the living being which I saw by the river Chebar.

16 And when the winged ones went, the wheels went by their side: and when their wings were lifted to take them up from the earth, the wheels were not turned from their side.

17 When they were at rest in their place, these were at rest; when they were lifted up, these went up with them: for the spirit of life was in them.

18 Then the glory of the Lord went out from the doorstep of the house, and came to rest over the winged ones.

19 And the winged ones, lifting up their wings, went up from the earth before my eyes, with the wheels by their side: and they came to rest at the east doorway of the Lord's house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them on high.

20 This is the living being which I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and it was clear to me that they were the winged ones.

21 Every one had four faces and every one had four wings; and hands like a man's hands were under their wings.

22 As for the form of their faces, they were the faces whose form I saw by the river Chebar; when they went, every one of them went straight forward.
