1 Then I looked, and see, in the expanse that was over the head of the cherubim there appeared above them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne. 2 He spoke to the man clothed in linen, and said, "Go in between the whirling wheels, even under the cherub, and fill both your hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city."
He went in as I watched. 3 Now the cherubim stood on the right side of the house when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court. 4 Yahweh’s glory mounted up from the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of Yahweh’s glory. 5 The sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.
6 It came to pass, when he commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, "Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim," that he went in and stood beside a wheel. 7 The cherub stretched out his hand from between the cherubim to the fire that was between the cherubim, and took some of it, and put it into the hands of him who was clothed in linen, who took it and went out. 8 The form of a man’s hand appeared here in the cherubim under their wings.
9 I looked, and behold, there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside one cherub, and another wheel beside another cherub. The appearance of the wheels was like a beryl stone. 10 As for their appearance, the four of them had one likeness, like a wheel within a wheel. 11 When they went, they went in their four directions. They didn’t turn as they went, but to the place where the head looked they followed it. They didn’t turn as they went. 12 Their whole body, including their backs, their hands, their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes all around, even the wheels that the four of them had. 13 As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, "the whirling wheels". 14 Every one them had four faces. The first face was the face of the cherub. The second face was the face of a man. The third face was the face of a lion. The fourth was the face of an eagle.
15 The cherubim mounted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar. 16 When the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels also didn’t turn from beside them. 17 When they stood, these stood. When they mounted up, these mounted up with them; for the spirit of the living creature was in them.
18 Yahweh’s glory went out from over the threshold of the house and stood over the cherubim. 19 The cherubim lifted up their wings and mounted up from the earth in my sight when they went out, with the wheels beside them. Then they stood at the door of the east gate of Yahweh’s house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
20 This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and I knew that they were cherubim. 21 Every one had four faces, and every one four wings. The likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings. 22 As for the likeness of their faces, they were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves. They each went straight forward.
1 我观看， 见基路伯头顶以上的穹苍， 有好像蓝宝石宝座的形状， 显现出来。
2 主对那身穿细麻布衣服的人说： "你进到基路伯以下的轮子之间那里去； 从基路伯之间， 用两手捧满火炭， 然后把它们撒在城上。"他就在我眼前进去了。
3 那人进去的时候， 基路伯站在殿的右边， 云彩充满了内院。
4 耶和华的荣耀从基路伯上面升到殿的门槛那里； 殿里充满了云彩， 院子也充满了耶和华荣耀的光辉。
5 基路伯的翅膀发出的声音在外院也可以听到， 好像全能的 神说话的声音。
6 他吩咐那身穿细麻布衣服的人说： "你要从轮子之间， 就是从基路伯之间取火。"那人就进去， 站在一个轮子的旁边。
7 有一个基路伯从众基路伯之间， 伸手到他们中间的火那里去， 取了些火， 放在那身穿细麻布衣服的人手中； 那人拿了火， 就出去了。
8 在那些基路伯的翅膀下面， 可以看见人手的形状。
9 我观看， 见众基路伯旁边有四个轮子； 每一个基路伯旁边都有一个轮子； 轮子的样子好像闪耀的水苍玉。
10 四个轮子的样子， 都是一个形状， 好像轮子套着轮子。
11 轮子可以向四方移动， 移动的时候， 不必转向； 基路伯面向哪一个方向走， 它们就跟着移动； 移动的时候， 不必转向。
12 基路伯的全身、背、手和翅膀， 以及那些轮子， 都布满了眼睛； 四个基路伯的轮子都是这样。
13 至于那些轮子， 我听见它们称为"旋转的轮子"。
14 每一个基路伯各有四个脸孔： 第一是基路伯的脸孔， 第二是人的脸孔， 第三是狮子的脸孔， 第四是鹰的脸孔。
15 后来基路伯也升起（这些就是我在迦巴鲁河边所看见的活物）。
16 基路伯移动的时候， 轮子也在他们旁边移动； 基路伯展开翅膀飞离地面的时候， 轮子也不离开他们。
17 他们站着不动， 轮子也不动； 他们升起的时候， 轮子也与他们一同上升， 因为活物的灵是在轮子里面。
18 以后， 耶和华的荣耀离开殿的门槛， 停在基路伯上面。
19 基路伯离开的时候， 他们在我眼前展开翅膀， 飞离地面， 轮子也与他们一起； 他们停在耶和华殿的东门口， 在他们上面有以色列 神的荣耀。
20 这些是我在迦巴鲁河边所看见、在以色列 神荣耀下面的活物， 我就知道他们是基路伯。
21 四个基路伯各有四个脸孔， 四个翅膀； 在翅膀下面有人手的形状。
22 至于他们脸孔的形状， 就像我从前在迦巴鲁河边所看见的一样。他们每个都是朝着脸孔的方向行走。
