1 Depois olhei, e eis que no firmamento, que estava por cima da cabeça dos querubins, apareceu sobre eles uma como pedra de safira, semelhante a forma de um trono.

2 E falou ao homem vestido de linho, dizendo: Vai por entre as rodas, até debaixo do querubim, e enche as tuas mãos de brasas acesas dentre os querubins e espalha-as sobre a cidade. E ele entrou à minha vista.

3 E os querubins estavam ao lado direito da casa, quando entrou aquele homem; e uma nuvem encheu o átrio interior.

4 Então se levantou a glória do Senhor de sobre o querubim indo para a entrada da casa; e encheu-se a casa de uma nuvem, e o átrio se encheu do resplendor da glória do Senhor.

5 E o ruído das asas dos querubins se ouviu até ao átrio exterior, como a voz do Deus Todo-Poderoso, quando fala.

6 Sucedeu, pois, que, dando ele ordem ao homem vestido de linho, dizendo: Toma fogo dentre as rodas, dentre os querubins, entrou ele, e parou junto às rodas.

7 Então estendeu um querubim a sua mão dentre os querubins para o fogo que estava entre os querubins; e tomou dele, e o pôs nas mãos do que estava vestido de linho; o qual o tomou, e saiu.

8 E apareceu nos querubins uma semelhança de mão de homem debaixo das suas asas.

9 Então olhei, e eis quatro rodas junto aos querubins, uma roda junto a um querubim, e outra roda junto a outro querubim; e o aspecto das rodas era como a cor da pedra de berilo.

10 E, quanto ao seu aspecto, as quatro tinham uma mesma semelhança; como se estivesse uma roda no meio de outra roda.

11 Andando estes, andavam para os quatro lados deles; não se viravam quando andavam, mas para o lugar para onde olhava a cabeça, para esse seguiam; não se viravam quando andavam.

12 E todo o seu corpo, as suas costas, as suas mãos, as suas asas e as rodas, as rodas que os quatro tinham, estavam cheias de olhos ao redor.

13 E, quanto às rodas, ouvindo eu, se lhes gritava: Roda!

14 E cada um tinha quatro rostos; o rosto do primeiro era rosto de querubim, e o rosto do segundo, rosto de homem, e do terceiro era rosto de leão, e do quarto, rosto de águia.

15 E os querubins se elevaram ao alto; estes são os mesmos seres viventes que vi junto ao rio Quebar.

16 E, andando os querubins, andavam as rodas juntamente com eles; e, levantando os querubins as suas asas, para se elevarem de sobre a terra, também as rodas não se separavam deles.

17 Parando eles, paravam elas; e, elevando-se eles elevavam-se elas, porque o espírito do ser vivente estava nelas.

18 Então saiu a glória do Senhor de sobre a entrada da casa, e parou sobre os querubins.

19 E os querubins alçaram as suas asas, e se elevaram da terra aos meus olhos, quando saíram; e as rodas os acompanhavam; e cada um parou à entrada da porta oriental da casa do Senhor; e a glória do Deus de Israel estava em cima, sobre eles.

20 Estes são os seres viventes que vi debaixo do Deus de Israel, junto ao rio Quebar, e conheci que eram querubins.

21 Cada um tinha quatro rostos e cada um quatro asas, e a semelhança de mãos de homem debaixo das suas asas.

22 E a semelhança dos seus rostos era a dos rostos que eu tinha visto junto ao rio Quebar, o aspecto deles, e eles mesmos; cada um andava para diante do seu rosto.

1 Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament 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.

2 And he spoke to the man clothed in linen, and said, Go in between the whirling [wheels], even under the cherub, and fill both thy hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in

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

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

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

6 And it 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.

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

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

9 And 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 like a beryl stone.

10 And as for their appearance, those four had one likeness, as if a wheel have been within a wheel.

11 When they went, they went in their four directions. They did not turn as they went, but to the place where the head looked they followed it. They did not turn as they went.

12 And 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 those four had.

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

14 And each 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.

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

16 And when 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 did not turn from beside them.

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

18 And the glory of LORD went forth from over the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim.

19 And the 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 LORD's house, and the glory of the God of Israel was

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

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

22 And as for the likeness of their faces, they were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves. They went each one straight forward.
