Ekitiibwa kya Mukama Kiva mu Yeekaalu
110:1 a Kub 4:2 b Kuv 24:10 c Ez 1:22Ne ntunula, laba, ekifaananyi eky’entebe ey’obwakabaka eya safiro nga kiri waggulu w’ekibangirizi w’emitwe gya bakerubi. 210:2 a Ez 9:2 b Ez 1:15 c Kub 8:5Mukama n’agamba omusajja ayambadde linena nti, “Genda wakati wa zinnamuziga wansi wa bakerubi, otoole amanda mu mukono gwo okuva wakati mu bakerubi, ogasaasaanye mu kibuga.” N’ayitawo nga ntunula.
3Bakerubi baali bayimiridde ku luuyi olw’Obukiikaddyo obwa yeekaalu; omusajja bwe yayingira ekire ne kijjula mu luggya olw’omunda. 410:4 Ez 1:28; 9:3Awo ekitiibwa kya Mukama ne kyambuka okuva waggulu wa bakerubi ne kidda mu mulyango gwa yeekaalu. Ekire ne kijjula mu yeekaalu, n’oluggya ne lujjula okumasamasa okw’ekitiibwa kya Mukama. 510:5 Yob 40:9; Ez 1:24N’okuwuuma kw’ebiwaawaatiro bya bakerubi ne kuwulikika wala mu luggya olw’ebweru, ng’eddoboozi lya Mukama ow’Eggye bwe liwulikika ng’ayogedde.
6Mukama bwe yalagira omusajja ayambadde linena nti, “Toola omuliro okuva mu zinnamuziga, wakati mu bakerubi,” omusajja n’ayingira n’ayimirira ku mabbali ga nnamuziga emu. 7Awo omu ku bakerubi n’agolola omukono gwe eri omuliro ogwali wakati wa bakerubi, n’addira ogumu ku gwo, n’aguteeka mu ngalo ez’omusajja ayambadde linena, eyagutwala n’afuluma. 810:8 Ez 1:8Wansi w’ebiwaawaatiro bya bakerubi waalabika ng’awaali emikono gy’omuntu.
910:9 Ez 1:15-16; Kub 21:20Ne ndaba zinnamuziga nnya ku mabbali ga bakerubi buli nnamuziga ng’eriraanye kerubi, zinnamuziga nga ziyakaayakana ng’ejjinja erya berulo. 10Mu ndabika nga zifaanagana, nnamuziga emu ng’eri ng’etudde mu ginnaayo. 11Mu kuseeseetuka, zaaseeseetukanga mu njuyi nnya bakerubi gye baatunulanga, era zinnamuziga z’omu maaso gye zaayiringitiranga, n’endala zonna gye zaayiringitiranga. 1210:12 a Kub 4:6-8 b Ez 1:15-21Omubiri gwabwe gwonna, n’emigongo gyabwe, n’emikono gyabwe, n’ebiwaawaatiro byabwe, ne zinnamuziga, nga zijjudde amaaso enjuuyi zonna. 13Ne mpulira zinnamuziga nga ziyitibwa “ezeetooloola eziwulukuka.” 1410:14 a 1Bk 7:36 b Ez 1:6 c Ez 1:10; Kub 4:7Buli emu ku zo yalina obwenyi buna: obwenyi obw’olubereberye bwali bwa kerubi, obwokubiri nga bwa musajja, obwokusatu nga bwa mpologoma, obwokuna nga bwa mpungu.
1510:15 Ez 1:3, 5Awo bakerubi ne basituka. Bye biramu bye nalaba ku mabbali g’omugga Kebali. 16Bakerubi bwe baaseeseetukanga, zinnamuziga ezaali ku mabbali ne ziseeseetukira wamu nabo; bakerubi bwe baayanjuluzanga ebiwaawaatiro byabwe okusituka okuva ku ttaka, zinnamuziga nazo tezaavanga ku lusegere. 1710:17 Ez 1:20-21Bakerubi bwe baayimiriranga, nazo ne ziyimirira; bakerubi bwe baasitukanga, nnamuziga ne zisitukira wamu nabo, kubanga omwoyo ow’ebiramu yali mu zo.
1810:18 Zab 18:10Awo ekitiibwa kya Mukama ne kiva ku mulyango gwa yeekaalu ne kiyimirira waggulu wa bakerubi. 1910:19 Ez 11:1, 22Ne ndaba bakerubi nga bayanjuluza ebiwaawaatiro byabwe, ne basituka okuva ku ttaka, ne zinnamuziga nazo ne zigendera ku mabbali gaabwe. Ne bayimirira awayingirirwa ku luggi olw’ebuvanjuba olwa yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’ekitiibwa kya Katonda owa Isirayiri nga kiri waggulu waabwe.
2010:20 Ez 1:1Era ebyo bye biramu bye nalaba wansi wa Katonda wa Isirayiri ku mugga Kebali, olwo ne ntegeera nga bakerubi. 2110:21 a Ez 41:18 b Ez 1:6Buli omu yalina obwenyi buna n’ebiwaawaatiro bina, ne wansi w’ebiwaawaatiro byabwe nga waliyo ebyali ng’emikono gy’omuntu. 22Obwenyi bwabwe bwanfaananira nga buli bwe nalaba ku mugga Kebali. Buli omu n’atambula n’agenda mu maaso.
The Glory of the Lord Moves Out of the Temple
1I looked up and saw something that appeared to be a throne made out of lapis lazuli. It was above the huge space that was spread out over the heads of the cherubim. 2The Lord spoke to the man who was wearing linen clothes. He said, “Go in among the wheels beneath the cherubim. Fill your hands with burning coals from the fire that is among the cherubim. Scatter the coals over the city.” As I watched, he went in.
3The cherubim were standing on the south side of the temple when the man went in. A cloud filled the inner courtyard. 4Then the glory of the Lord rose from above the cherubim. It moved to the doorway of the temple. The cloud filled the temple. And the courtyard was full of the brightness of the glory of the Lord. 5The sound the wings of the cherubim made could be heard as far away as the outer courtyard. It was like the voice of the Mighty God when he speaks.
6The Lord gave a command to the man who was dressed in linen clothes. He said, “Get some coals of fire from among the wheels. Take them from among the cherubim.” So the man went in and stood beside a wheel. 7Then one of the cherubim reached out his hand. He picked up some of the burning coals that were among the wheels. He handed them to the man who was wearing linen clothes. The man took them and left. 8I saw what looked like human hands. They were under the wings of the cherubim.
9I looked up and saw four wheels beside the cherubim. One wheel was beside each of them. The wheels gleamed like topaz. 10All four of them looked alike. Each wheel appeared to be inside another wheel at right angles. 11The wheels could go in any one of the four directions the cherubim faced. The wheels didn’t change their direction as the cherubim moved. The cherubim went in the direction their heads faced. They didn’t change their direction as they moved. 12Their whole bodies were completely covered with eyes. That included their backs, hands and wings. Their four wheels were covered with eyes too. 13I heard someone tell the wheels to start spinning around. 14Each of the cherubim had four faces. One face was the face of a cherub. The second was the face of a human being. The third was the face of a lion. And the fourth was an eagle’s face.
15The cherubim rose from the ground. They were the same living creatures I had seen by the Kebar River. 16When the cherubim moved, the wheels beside them moved. The cherubim spread their wings to rise from the ground. As they did, the wheels didn’t leave their side. 17When the cherubim stood still, the wheels also stood still. When the cherubim rose, the wheels rose along with them. That’s because the spirits of the living creatures were in the wheels.
18Then the glory of the Lord moved away from the doorway of the temple. It stopped above the cherubim. 19While I watched, they spread their wings. They rose from the ground. As they went, the wheels went along with them. They stopped at the entrance of the east gate of the Lord’s house. And the glory of the God of Israel was above them.
20These were the same living creatures I had seen by the Kebar River. I had seen them beneath the God of Israel. I realized that they were cherubim. 21Each one had four faces and four wings. Under their wings was what looked like human hands. 22Their faces looked the same as the ones I had seen by the Kebar River. Each of the cherubim went straight ahead.
