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.
Naghalin ang Gamhanan nga Presensya sang Dios sa Templo
1Samtang nagatan-aw ako, may nakita ako nga daw isa ka trono nga hinimo halin sa bato nga sapiro. Ara ini sa ibabaw sang tabon nga kristal sa ibabaw sang ulo sang mga kerubin. 2Nagsiling ang Ginoo sa tawo nga nagabayo sang linen, “Magkadto ka sa tunga sang mga rueda sa idalom sang mga kerubin, kag maghakop ka didto sang mga baga kag isabwag ini sa siyudad.” Kag nakita ko nga nagkadto siya.
3Ang mga kerubin nagatindog sa bagatnan dampi sang templo sang magsulod ang tawo, kag may panganod nga naglikop sa sulod nga lagwerta sang templo. 4Dayon naghalin ang gamhanan nga presensya sang Ginoo sa ibabaw sang mga kerubin kag nagsaylo sa puwertahan sang templo. Ginlikupan sang panganod ang templo, kag ang lagwerta nagsanag tungod sa gamhanan nga presensya sang Ginoo. 5Ang huni sang mga pakpak sang mga kerubin pareho sa tingog sang Makagagahom nga Dios, kag mabatian ini hasta sa guwa nga lagwerta.
6Sang ginsugo sang Ginoo ang tawo nga nagabayo sang linen nga magkuha sang baga sa tunga sang mga rueda sa idalom sang mga kerubin, nagkadto siya didto kag nagtindog sa kilid sang isa ka rueda. 7Dayon ang isa sa mga kerubin nagkuha sang baga sa kalayo kag ginbutang ini sa kamot sang tawo nga nagabayo sang linen. Gindala ini sang tawo kag nagguwa. 8Ang tagsa ka kerubin may ara sang daw kamot sang tawo sa idalom sang ila mga pakpak.
9May nakita man ako nga apat ka rueda sa kada kilid sang apat ka kerubin. Nagaidlak ini pareho sang malahalon nga bato nga krisolito, 10kag palareho ang ila hitsura. Ang kada rueda may ara pa gid sang isa ka rueda nga nagasaang, 11gani makakadto ini kag ang kerubin sa bisan diin nga direksyon nga indi na kinahanglan nga magliso pa. 12Ang bug-os nga lawas sang mga kerubin, ang ila likod, kamot, kag pakpak, puno sang mata, kag amo man ang mga rueda. 13Kag nabatian ko nga ginatawag ang ini nga mga rueda nga “nagatiyog nga mga rueda.” 14Ang kada kerubin may apat ka guya. Ang hitsura sang nahauna nga guya kerubin, ang ikaduha tawo, ang ikatatlo leon, kag ang ikaapat agila.
15Dayon nagpaibabaw ang mga kerubin. Amo ini sila ang mga buhi nga tinuga nga akon nakita sa Suba sang Kebar. 16Kon maglakat gani ang mga kerubin, nagaupod man sa ila ang mga rueda, kag kon maglupad sila, nagaupod man ang mga rueda. 17Kon magpundo gani sila, nagapundo man ang mga rueda, kag kon magpaibabaw sila, nagapaibabaw man ang mga rueda, kay ang ila espiritu ara sa mga rueda. 18Dayon ang gamhanan nga presensya sang Ginoo naghalin sa puwertahan sang templo kag nagsaylo sa ibabaw sang mga kerubin. 19Kag samtang nagatan-aw ako, naglupad ang mga kerubin, kag nag-upod man sa ila ang mga rueda. Nagpundo sila sa sidlangan dampi nga puwertahan sang templo sang Ginoo, kag ang gamhanan nga presensya sang Dios sang Israel ara sa ibabaw nila.
20Amo ato ang buhi nga mga tinuga nga nakita ko sa idalom sang Dios sang Israel didto sa Suba sang Kebar. Kag nahibaluan ko nga ang ini nga mga tinuga mga kerubin. 21Ang kada isa sa ila may apat ka guya kag apat ka pakpak, kag sa idalom sang ila pakpak may daw kamot sang tawo. 22Ang ila hitsura pareho man sang hitsura sang buhi nga mga tinuga nga nakita ko sa Suba sang Kebar. Ang kada isa nagalakat sing deretso.
