1 And I looked, and there in the expanse that was above the head of the cherubim, there appeared something like a sapphire stone, having the appearance of the likeness of a throne.

2 Then He spoke to the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in among the wheels, under the cherub, fill your hands with coals of fire from among the cherubim, and scatter them over the city. And he went in before my 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 the glory of Jehovah went up from the cherub, and paused over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the glory of Jehovah.

5 And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even in the outer court, like the voice of Almighty God when He speaks.

6 And it happened, when He had commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, Take fire from among the wheels, from among the cherubim, that he went in and stood beside the wheels.

7 And the cherub stretched out his hand from among the cherubim to the fire that was among the cherubim, and took some of it and put it into the hands of the man clothed with linen, who took it and went out.

8 And under the cherubim’s wings appeared the form of a man’s hand.

9 And when I looked, behold, four wheels were beside the cherubim, one wheel beside one cherub and another wheel beside each other cherub; and the appearance of the wheels was as the color of a beryl stone.

10 As for their appearance, all four had one likeness; as it were, a wheel in the middle of a wheel.

11 When they went, they went toward any of their four directions; they did not turn aside when they went, but followed in the direction the head was facing. They did not turn aside as they went.

12 And their whole body, with their back, their hands, their wings, and the wheels that the four had, were full of eyes all around.

13 As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, Rolling Wheel.

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

15 And the cherubim were lifted up. This was the living creature that I saw by the River Chebar.

16 And when the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels themselves did not turn from beside them.

17 When they stood still, these stood still; and when they rose up, these rose up; for the spirit of the living creature was in them.

18 Then the glory of Jehovah departed from the threshold of the house and stood over the cherubim.

19 And the cherubim lifted their wings and mounted up from the earth before my eyes. When they went out, the wheels were beside them; and they stood at the door of the east gate of the house of Jehovah, and the glory of the God of Israel was over them from above.

20 This is the living creature I saw under the God of Israel by the River Chebar, and I knew that they were cherubim.

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

22 And the likeness of their faces was the same as the faces which I had seen by the River Chebar, their appearance, even theirs. They each went straight forward.

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.
