¹Zvino ndakatarira, ndikaona padenga rakanga riri pamusoro pemisoro yamakerubhi chinhu chakaonekwa pamusoro pawo chakaita sebwe resafire, chakanga chakafanana nechigaro choushe.

¹And I looked, and behold, 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.

²Akataura nomunhu akanga akafuka mucheka, akati, Pinda pakati pamakumbo anomonereka, imo munyasi mekerubhi, uzadze maoko ako ose namazimbe anobva pakati pamakerubhi, uakushe pamusoro peguta. Iye akapinda, ini ndichizviona.

²And he spoke unto the man clothed with linen, and said, Come in between the wheels, under the cherub, and fill the hollow of thy hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight.

³Zvino makerubhi akanga amire parutivi rworudyi rweimba, panguva yokupinda komurume uyu; gore rikazadza ruvanze rwomukati.

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

⁴Kubwinya kwaJehovha kukakwira kuchibva pakerubhi, kukamira pamusoro pechikumbaridzo cheimba, imba ikazadzwa negore, noruvanze rwakazarawo nokupenya kokubwinya kwaJehovha.

⁴And the glory of Jehovah mounted up from the cherub, [and came] over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of Jehovah's glory.

⁵Mubvumo wamapapiro amakerubhi wakanzwikwa kusvikira kuruvanze rwokunze, senzwi raMwari waMasimbaose, kana achitaura.

⁵And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty ùGod when he speaketh.

⁶Zvino akati araira murume akanga akafuka mucheka, achiti, Tora moto pakati pamakumbo anomonereka, pakati pamakerubhi, akapinda, akandomira parutivi rwerimwe gumbo.

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

⁷Kerubhi rikatambanudzira ruoko rwaro ruchibuda napakati pamakerubhi kumoto wakange uri pakati pamakerubhi, rikatorapo moto ndokuuisa muruoko rwowakanga akafuka mucheka, iye ndokuutora ndokubuda.

⁷And the cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubim unto the fire that was between the cherubim, and took and put it into the hands of him [that was] clothed with linen; who took [it], and went out.

⁸Zvino mukati mamakerubhi makaonekwa chakafanana noruoko rwomunhu pasi pamapapiro awo.

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

⁹Zvino ndakatarira, ndikaona makumbo mana engoro pamativi amakerubhi, rimwe gumbo kurutivi rwekerubhi rimwe, nerimwe gumbo kurutivi rwerimwe kerubhi; pakuonekwa kwawo makumbo akanga akaita sebwe rebheriri.

⁹And I 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 as the look of a chrysolite stone.

¹⁰Pakuonekwa kwawo ose ari mana akanga akafanana, zvakaita segumbo rimwe rengoro mukati merimwe gumbo rengoro.

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

¹¹Pakufamba kwawo akafamba kumativi awo mana; haana kutsauka pakufamba kwawo, asi kwakanga kwakatarira musoro ndiko kwaakaenda; haana kutsauka pakufamba kwawo.

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.

¹²Muviri wawo wose, nemisana yawo, namaoko awo, namapapiro awo, namakumbo engoro, zvakanga zvizere nameso kumativi ose, pamakumbo awo ose ari mana.

¹²And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels were full of eyes round about, in them four [and] their wheels.

¹³Kana ari makumbo, ndakanzwa achitumidzwa zvinomonereka.

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

¹⁴Rimwe nerimwe rakanga rine zviso zvina; chiso chokutanga chakanga chiri chiso chekerubhi, chiso chechipiri chakanga chiri chiso chomunhu, chechitatu chiso cheshumba, nechechina chiso chegondo.

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

¹⁵Zvino makerubhi ndokubhururuka achikwira; ndicho chipenyu chandakaona parwizi Kebhari.

¹⁵And the cherubim mounted up. This was the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar.

¹⁶Zvino kana makerubhi ofamba, makumbo engoro ofamba kurutivi rwawo; kana makerubhi achinge osimudza mapapiro awo achida kubhururuka achibva panyika, namakumbo awovo haana kubva kurutivi rwawo.

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

¹⁷Kana omira naiwo omirawo; kana obhururuka achikwira naiwo obhururukawo achikwira nawo; nekuti mweya wechipenyu wakange uri mukati mawo.

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.

¹⁸Ipapo kubwinya kwaJehovha kwakabuda pachikumbaridzo cheimba, ndokumira pamusoro pamakerubhi.

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

¹⁹Makerubhi ndokusimudza mapapiro awo, ndokubhururuka achibva panyika, ini ndichiaona achibuda, anamakumbo engoro pamativi awo; akamira pamukova wesuwo rokumabvazuva reimba yaJehovha; kubwinya kwaMwari waIsiraeri kwakanga kuri nechokumusoro kwawo.

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

²⁰Ndicho chipenyu chandakaona panyasi paMwari waIsiraeri parwizi rwaKebhari; ndikaziva kuti makerubhi.

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

²¹Rimwe nerimwe rakanga rine zviso zvina, nerimwe nerimwe rakanga rina mapapiro mana; pasi pamapapiro awo pakanga pane zvakafanana namaoko omunhu.

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

²²Kana zviri zviso zvavo pakuonekwa kwazvo, zvakanga zviri zviso zviya zvandakaona parwizi rwaKebhari, pakuonekwa kwazvo naizvo zvimene; rimwe nerimwe rairuramira mberi pakufamba kwaro.

²²And as for the likeness of their faces, they were the faces which I had seen by the river Chebar -- their appearance and themselves: they went every one straight before them.
