¹Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubims there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.

¹[Fahitana ny amin'ny handoroana an'i Jerosalema, sy ny hialan'ny voninahitr'i Jehovah aminy] Ary hitako fa, indro, teo ambonin'ny eloelo izay teo ambonin'ny lohan'ny kerobima dia nisy tahaka ny vato safira; tahaka ny endriky ny seza fiandrianana no fijery azy; ary Jehovah niseho teo amboniny. [Heb. Izy]

²And he spake unto the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, even under the cherub, and fill thine hand with coals of fire from between the cherubims, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight.

²Ary niteny tamin-dralehilahy nitafy rongony fotsy Izy nanao hoe: Midira eo anelanelan'ny kodia, dia eo ambanin'ny kerobima, ary fenoy vain'afo avy eo anelanelan'ny kerobima ny tananao roa, ka afafazo amin'ny tanàna izany. Dia niditra teo imasoko izy.

³Now the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.

³Ary ny kerobima nitsangana teo amin'ny ankavanan'ny trano, raha niditra ralehilahy; ary feno ilay rahona ny kianja anatiny.

⁴Then the glory of the LORD went 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 the LORD's glory.

⁴Dia niakatra niala teo amin'ny kerobima ny voninahitr'i Jehovah ho eo amin'ny tokonam-baravaran'ny trano; ary feno ilay rahona ny trano, ary ny kianja dia feno ny famirapiratan'ny voninahitr'i Jehovah.

⁵And the sound of the cherubims' wings was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh.

⁵Ary ny fikopakopaky ny elatry ny kerobima dia re hatrany amin'ny kianja ivelany, toy ny feon'Andriamanitra Tsitoha, raha miteny.

⁶And it came to pass, that when he had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubims; then he went in, and stood beside the wheels.

⁶Ary rehefa nodidiany ralehilahy nitafy rongony fotsy, nataony hoe: Manalà afo avy eo analenelan'ny kodia, eo anelanelan'ny kerobima, dia niditra izy ka nitsangana teo anilan'ny kodia.

⁷And one cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubims unto the fire that was between the cherubims, and took thereof, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linen: who took it, and went out.

⁷Ary ny kerobima anankiray naninjitra ny tànany avy teo anelanelan'ny kerobima, tamin'ny afo Izay teo anelanelan'ny kerobima, dia nangalany ka nataony teny amin'ny tànan-droan'ilay nitafy rongony fotsy; ary rehefa nandray izany ralehilahy, dia nivoaka.

⁸And there appeared in the cherubims the form of a man's hand under their wings.

⁸Ary nisy nitarehin-tànan'olona niseho teo ambanin'ny elatry ny kerobima.

⁹And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubims, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was as the colour of a beryl stone.

⁹Ary hitako fa, indreo, nisy kodia efatra teo anilan'ny kerobima, dia kodia iray avy teo anilan'ny isan-kerobima; ary ny tarehin'ny kodia dia toy ny volon'ny vato krysolita.

¹⁰And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel.

¹⁰Ary izy efatra dia nitovy tarehy, toy ny kodia anatin'ny kodia.

¹¹When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not as they went, but to the place whither the head looked they followed it; they turned not as they went.

¹¹Raha nandeha izy, dia nandeha tamin'ny hitsin'ny lafiny efatra; tsy niherika izy raha nandeha, fa tamin'ny hitsin'izay natrehin'ny lohany ihany no nalehany; tsy niherika izy raha nandeha.

¹²And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about, even the wheels that they four had.

¹²Ary feno maso manodidina ny tenany rehetra sy ny lamosiny sy ny tànany sy ny elany mbamin'ny kodia; izy efatra dia samy nisy kodia avokoa.[Heb. nofony]

¹³As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O wheel.

¹³Ny amin'ny kodia dia reko nisy niantso azy hoe: Ry kodia![Na: Mikodiadiava!]

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

¹⁴Ary samy nanana tarehy efatra avy izy: ny tarehin'ny voalohany dia nitarehin-kerobima, ary ny tarehin'ny faharoa dia nitarehin'olona, ary ny fahatelo nitarehin-diona, ary ny fahefatra nitarehim-boromahery.

¹⁵And the cherubims were lifted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar.

¹⁵Ary niakatra ny kerobima. Izany dia ilay zava-manan'aina hitako teo amoron'ny ony Kebara ihany.

¹⁶And when the cherubims went, the wheels went by them: and when the cherubims lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also turned not from beside them.

¹⁶Ary raha nandeha ny kerobima, dia mba nandeha teo anilany koa ny kodia; ary raha nasandratry ny kerobima ny elany hiainga tsy hipaka amin'ny tany, dia tsy nisaraka taminy koa ny kodia.

¹⁷When they stood, these stood; and when they were lifted up, these lifted up themselves also: for the spirit of the living creature was in them.

¹⁷Raha nijanona izy, dia mba nijanona koa ireo, ary raha niainga izy, dia mba niainga koa ireo: fa ny fanahin'ny zava-manan'aina no tao aminy.

¹⁸Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubims.

¹⁸Dia niala avy teo ambonin'ny tokonambaravaran'ny trano ny voninahitr'i Jehovah ka nijanona teo ambonin'ny kerobima.

¹⁹And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also were beside them, and every one stood at the door of the east gate of the LORD's house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.

¹⁹Ary nasandratry ny kerobima ny elany, ka niainga tsy nipaka tamin'ny tany teo imasoko izy, raha nivoaka, ary teo anilany ny kodia ary samy nijanona teo anoloan'ny vavahady atsinanana amin'ny tranon'i Jehovah izy ireo; ary ny voninahitr'Andriamanitry ny Isiraely no teo amboniny.

²⁰This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they were the cherubims.

²⁰Izany dia ilay zava-manan'aina hitako teo ambanin'Andriamanitry ny Isiraely teo amoron'ny ony Kebara; ary fantatro fa kerobima ireo.

²¹Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.

²¹Samy nanana tarehy efatra avy izy, sady samy nanana elatra efatra avy koa; ary nisy nitarehin-tànan'olona teo ambanin'ny elany.Ary ny endriky ny tarehiny dia nitovy tamin'ilay efa hitako teo amoron'ny ony Kebara ihany, dia ny endriny sy ny tenany; ary ny hitsin'ny tavany no nalehany.

²²And the likeness of their faces was the same faces which I saw by the river of Chebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one straight forward.

²²Ary ny endriky ny tarehiny dia nitovy tamin'ilay efa hitako teo amoron'ny ony Kebara ihany, dia ny endriny sy ny tenany; ary ny hitsin'ny tavany no nalehany.
