Ezekiel 10

DOUAI-RHEIMS	BIBBIA TINTORI
1 And saw and behold in the firmament that was over the heads of the cherubims, there appeared over them as it were the sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.	1 E vidi ed ecco apparire nel firmamento, che era sopra il capo dei cherubini, come una pietra di zaffiro, e sopra di essa come una specie di trono.
2 And he spoke to the man, that was clothed with linen, and said: Go in between the wheels that are under the cherubims and fill thy hand with the coals of fire that are between the cherubims, and pour them out upon the city. And he went in, in my sight:	2 E disse (il Signore) all'uomo vestito di lino: « Entra in mezzo alle ruote, che sono sotto i cherubini, ed empi la tua mano di carboni accesi che sono tra i cherubini, e gettali sulla città ». E lo vidi andare.
3 And the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in, and a cloud filled the inner court.	3 E i cherubini stavano a destra della casa, quando quell'uomo andò, ed una nube riempiva l'atrio interiore.
4 And the glory of the Lord was lifted up from above the cherub to the threshold of the house: and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was filled with the brightness of the glory of the Lord.	4 E la gloria del Signore si alzò sopra i cherubini e (venne) alla soglia della casa e la casa fu invasa dalla nube, e l'atrio fu ripieno dello splendore della gloria del Signore.
5 And the sound of the wings of the cherubims was heard even to the outward court as the voice of God Almighty speaking.	5 E il rumore delle ali dei cherubini si sentiva fin dall'atrio esteriore, come la voce di Dio onnipotente quando parla.
6 And when he had commanded the man that was clothed with linen, saying: Take fire from the midst of the wheels that are between the cherubims: he went in and stood beside the wheel,	6 E avendo (il Signore) dato all'uomo vestito di lino questo ordine: « Prendi il fuoco di mezzo alle ruote che sono tra i cherubini », egli andò e si fermò presso le ruote.
7 And one cherub stretched out his arm from the midst of the cherubims to the fire that was between the cherubims: and he took, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linen: who took it and went forth.	7 E un cherubino tese la mano, in mezzo ai cherubini, al fuoco che era tra i cherubini e ne prese e lo mise nella mano di colui che era vestito di lino, il quale lo prese e partì.
8 And there appeared in the cherubims the likeness of a man's hand under their wings.	8 E apparve nei cherubini come una mano di uomo sotto le loro ali.
9 And I saw, and behold there were four wheels by the cherubims: one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was to the sight like the chrysolite stone:	9 E vidi, ed ecco quattro ruote presso i cherubini, una ruota a lato d'un cherubino, un'altra ruota a lato d'un altro cherubino, l'aspetto delle ruote era come quello della pietra crisolito,
10 And as to their appearance, all four were alike: as if a wheel were in the midst of a wheel.	10 e nell'aspetto tutte quattro eran simili, come se una ruota fosse nel mezzo di un'altra.
11 And when they went, they went by four ways: and they turned not when they went: but to the place whither they first turned, the rest also followed, and did not turn back.	11 E quando si movevano andavano dai quattro lati e non ritornavano nell'andare, ma al luogo dove s'indirizzava quella che era prima andavano le altre senza mutar direzione.
12 And their whole body, and their necks, and their hands, and their wings, and the circles were full of eyes, round about the four wheels.	12 E tutto il corpo di esse, e i colli e le mani e le ali e i cerchi eran pieni di occhi all'intorno delle quattro ruote.
13 And these wheels he called voluble, in my hearing.	13 Io sentii che queste ruote le chiamò volubili.
14 And every one had four faces: one face was the face of a cherub, and the second face, the face of a man: and in the third was the face of a lion: and in the fourth the face of an eagle.	14 (Ciascuno degli animali) aveva quattro facce: la prima faccia era faccia di cherubino; la seconda faccia era faccia di uomo; la terza faccia era faccia di leone, e la quarta faccia d'aquila.
15 And the cherubims were lifted up: this is the living creature that I had seen by the river Chobar.	15 E i cherubini si alzarono in alto: eran gli stessi animali che avevo veduti presso il fiume Cobar.
16 And when the cherubims went, the wheels also went by them: and when the cherubims lifted up their wings, to mount up from the earth, the wheels stayed not behind, but were by them.	16 Quando si movevano i cherubini, si movevano dietro ad essi anche le ruote, e quando i cherubini stendevano le loro ali per alzarsi da terra, le ruote non restavan ferme, ma andavano anch'esse dietro a loro.
17 When they stood, these stood: and when they were lifted up, these were lifted up: for the spirit of life was in them.	17 Se essi si fermavano si fermavano anch'esse e se essi si alzavano anch'esse si alzavano, avendo in sè lo spirito della vita.
18 And the glory of the Lord went forth from the threshold of the temple: and stood over the cherubims.	18 E la gloria del Signore uscì dalla soglia del tempio, e si posò sopra i cherubini.
19 And the cherubims lifting up their wings, were raised from the earth before me: and as they went out, the wheels also followed: and it stood in the entry of the east gate of the house of the Lord: and the glory of the God of Israel was over them.	19 Alla mia presenza i cherubini, stese le loro ali, si alzarono da terra, e andaron loro dietro le ruote, quando partirono, e si fermarono all'ingresso della porta orientale della casa del Signore, e sopra di essi stava la gloria del Dio d'Israele.
20 This is the living creature, which I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chobar: and I understood that they were cherubims.	20 Eran gli stessi animali da me visti sotto il Dio d'Israele presso il fiume Cobar, e capii che erano cherubini.
21 Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings: and the likeness of a man's hand was under their wings.	21 Ciascun di essi aveva quattro facce e quattro ali, e una specie di mano d'uomo sotto le ali.
22 And as to the likeness of their faces, they were the same faces which I had seen by the river Chobar, and their looks, and the impulse of every one to go straight forward.	22 L'aspetto dei loro volti era proprio dei volti da me visti presso il fiume Cobar, e come il loro aspetto, così l'impeto di ciascuno di andare in direzione della sua faccia.
