¹M'am uitat, şi iată că pe cerul care era deasupra capului heruvimilor era ceva ca o piatră de safir; deasupra lor se vedea ceva asemănător cu un chip de scaun de domnie.

¹Then I looked, and see, in the expanse that was over the head of the cherubim there appeared above them as it were a sapphire or, lapis lazuli stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.

²Şi Domnul a zis omului aceluia îmbrăcat în haine de in: ,,Vîră-te între roatele de supt heruvimi, umple-ţi mînile cu cărbunii aprinşi cari sînt între heruvimi, şi împrăştie -i peste cetate!`` Şi el s'a vîrît între roate supt ochii mei.

²He 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.

³Heruvimii stăteau în partea dreaptă a casei, cînd s -a vîrît omul acela între roate, iar norul a umplut curtea din lăuntru.

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

⁴Atunci slava Domnului s'a ridicat de pe heruvimi, şi s'a îndreptat spre pragul casei, aşa în cît Templul s'a umplut de nor, şi curtea s'a umplut de strălucirea slavei Domnului.

⁴The glory of Yahweh 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.

⁵Vîjiitul aripilor heruvimilor s'a auzit pînă la curtea de afară, ca glasul Dumnezeului Celui Atotputernic, cînd vorbeşte,

⁵The sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.

⁶Cînd a poruncit deci omului aceluia îmbrăcat în haina de in să ia foc dintre roate, dintre heruvimi, omul acesta s'a dus şi s'a aşezat lîngă roate.

⁶It 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.

⁷Atunci un heruvim a întins mîna între heruvimi spre focul care era între heruvimi; a luat foc, şi l -a pus în mînile omului aceluia îmbrăcat cu haina de in. Şi omul acesta l -a luat, şi a ieşt afară.

⁷The cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubim to the fire that was between the cherubim, and took of it, and put it into the hands of him who was clothed in linen, who took it and went out.

⁸La heruvimi se vedea ceva ca o mînă de om supt aripile lor.

⁸There appeared in the cherubim the form of a man’s hand under their wings.

⁹M'am uitat, şi iată că lîngă heruvimi erau patru roţi; o roată lîngă un heruvim şi o roată lîngă celălalt heruvim; dar roatele acestea străluceau ca o piatră de hrisolit.

⁹I looked, and behold, four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside one cherub, and another wheel beside another cherub; and the appearance of the wheels was like a beryl stone.

¹⁰După înfăţişare, toate cele patru roţi aveau acelaş chip; fiecare roată părea că este în mijlocul altei roţi.

¹⁰As for their appearance, the four of them had one likeness, like a wheel within a wheel.

¹¹Cînd mergeau, mergeau de cele patru laturi ale lor, şi nu se învîrteau în mers, ci mergeau încotro mergea capul, fără să se învîrtească în mersul lor.

¹¹When 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.

¹²Tot trupul heruvimilor, spatele lor, mînile lor şi aripile lor, erau pline de ochi, ca şi cele patru roţi dimprejur.

¹²Their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes all around, even the wheels that the four of them had.

¹³Am auzit cu urechile mele că roatele erau chemate: ,,Roate învîrtitoare.``

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

¹⁴Fiecare avea patru feţe; faţa celui dintîi era o faţă de heruvim, faţa celui de al doilea o faţă de om, a celui de al treilea o faţă de leu, şi a celui de al patrulea o faţă de vultur.

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

¹⁵Şi heruvimii s'au ridicat. Erau făpturile vii pe cari le văzusem lîngă rîul Chebar.

¹⁵The cherubim mounted up: this is the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar.

¹⁶Cînd mergeau heruvimii, mergeau şi roatele cu ei, şi cînd îşi întindeau heruvimii aripile ca să se înalţe dela pămînt, nici roatele nu se depărtau de ei.

¹⁶When 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.

¹⁷Cînd se opreau ei, se opreau şi ele, şi cînd se înălţau ei, se înălţau şi ele cu ei, căci duhul făpturilor vii era în ele.

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

¹⁸Slava Domului a plecat din pragul Templului, şi s'a aşezat pe heruvimi.

¹⁸The glory of Yahweh went forth from over the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim.

¹⁹Heruvimii şi-au întins aripile, şi s'au înălţat de pe pămînt supt ochii mei; cînd au plecat ei, au plecat şi roţile cu ei. S'au oprit la intrarea porţii casei Domnului spre răsărit; şi slava Dumnezeului lui Israel era sus deasupra lor.

¹⁹The cherubim lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight when they went forth, and the wheels beside them: and 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.

²⁰Erau făpturile vii, pe cari le văzusem supt Dumnezeul lui Israel lîngă rîul Chebar, şi am băgat de seamă că erau heruvimi.

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

²¹Fiecare avea patru feţe, fiecare avea patru aripi, şi supt aripile lor era ceva ca o mînă de om.

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

²²Dar feţele lor erau ca cele pe cari le văzusem la rîul Chebar, cu aceeaş înfăţişare: erau tot ei. Fiecare mergea drept înainte.

²²As for the likeness of their faces, they were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves; they went every one straight forward.
