1 Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubims there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne. 2 And he spake unto the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, even under the cherub, and fill thine hand with coals of fire from between the cherubims, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight. 3 Now the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court. 4 Then the glory of the LORD went 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 the LORD’s glory. 5 And the sound of the cherubims’ wings was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh. 6 And it came to pass, that when he had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubims; then he went in, and stood beside the wheels. 7 And one cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubims unto the fire that was between the cherubims, and took thereof, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linen: who took it, and went out.
8 And there appeared in the cherubims the form of a man’s hand under their wings. 9 And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubims, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was as the colour of a beryl stone. 10 And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel. 11 When 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. 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 they four had. 13 As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O wheel. 14 And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle. 15 And the cherubims were lifted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar. 16 And when the cherubims went, the wheels went by them: and when the cherubims lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also turned not from beside them. 17 When they stood, these stood; and when they were lifted up, these lifted up themselves also: for the spirit of the living creature was in them. 18 Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubims. 19 And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also were beside them, and every one stood at the door of the east gate of the LORD’s house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above. 20 This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they were the cherubims. 21 Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings. 22 And the likeness of their faces was the same faces which I saw by the river of Chebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one straight forward.
1 我观看, 见基路伯头顶以上的穹苍, 有好像蓝宝石宝座的形状, 显现出来。
2 主对那身穿细麻布衣服的人说: "你进到基路伯以下的轮子之间那里去; 从基路伯之间, 用两手捧满火炭, 然后把它们撒在城上。"他就在我眼前进去了。
3 那人进去的时候, 基路伯站在殿的右边, 云彩充满了内院。
4 耶和华的荣耀从基路伯上面升到殿的门槛那里; 殿里充满了云彩, 院子也充满了耶和华荣耀的光辉。
5 基路伯的翅膀发出的声音在外院也可以听到, 好像全能的 神说话的声音。
6 他吩咐那身穿细麻布衣服的人说: "你要从轮子之间, 就是从基路伯之间取火。"那人就进去, 站在一个轮子的旁边。
7 有一个基路伯从众基路伯之间, 伸手到他们中间的火那里去, 取了些火, 放在那身穿细麻布衣服的人手中; 那人拿了火, 就出去了。
8 在那些基路伯的翅膀下面, 可以看见人手的形状。
9 我观看, 见众基路伯旁边有四个轮子; 每一个基路伯旁边都有一个轮子; 轮子的样子好像闪耀的水苍玉。
10 四个轮子的样子, 都是一个形状, 好像轮子套着轮子。
11 轮子可以向四方移动, 移动的时候, 不必转向; 基路伯面向哪一个方向走, 它们就跟着移动; 移动的时候, 不必转向。
12 基路伯的全身、背、手和翅膀, 以及那些轮子, 都布满了眼睛; 四个基路伯的轮子都是这样。
13 至于那些轮子, 我听见它们称为"旋转的轮子"。
14 每一个基路伯各有四个脸孔: 第一是基路伯的脸孔, 第二是人的脸孔, 第三是狮子的脸孔, 第四是鹰的脸孔。
15 后来基路伯也升起(这些就是我在迦巴鲁河边所看见的活物)。
16 基路伯移动的时候, 轮子也在他们旁边移动; 基路伯展开翅膀飞离地面的时候, 轮子也不离开他们。
17 他们站着不动, 轮子也不动; 他们升起的时候, 轮子也与他们一同上升, 因为活物的灵是在轮子里面。
18 以后, 耶和华的荣耀离开殿的门槛, 停在基路伯上面。
19 基路伯离开的时候, 他们在我眼前展开翅膀, 飞离地面, 轮子也与他们一起; 他们停在耶和华殿的东门口, 在他们上面有以色列 神的荣耀。
20 这些是我在迦巴鲁河边所看见、在以色列 神荣耀下面的活物, 我就知道他们是基路伯。
21 四个基路伯各有四个脸孔, 四个翅膀; 在翅膀下面有人手的形状。
22 至于他们脸孔的形状, 就像我从前在迦巴鲁河边所看见的一样。他们每个都是朝着脸孔的方向行走。
