Ezekiel 10

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	BIBBIA VOLGARE
1 And I saw, and behold, in the firmament that was over the heads of the cherubim, there appeared above them something like the sapphire stone, with the sight of the likeness of a throne.	1 E vidi, ed ecco nel firmamento, ch' era sopra lo capo del Cherubino, sì come una pietra di zaffiro; e appario sopra lei sì come una specie di similitudine della sua celestiale gloria.
2 And he spoke to the man who was clothed with linen, and he said: “Enter, between the wheels that are under the cherubim, and fill your hand with the coals of fire that are between the cherubim, and pour them upon the city.” And he entered, in my sight.	2 E disse all'uomo ch' era vestito di lino: entra nel mezzo delle ruote, le quali sono sotto ai Cherubini, ed empi le tue mani de' carboni di fuoco, i quali sono tra' Cherubini, e spargi sopra alla città. Ed entrò nel mio conspetto.
3 Now the cherubim were standing before the right side of the house, when the man entered. And a cloud filled the inner court.	3 E li Cherubini stavano dalla parte diritta della casa, quanto entroe l'uomo, e la nuvola empì lo cammino dentro.
4 And the glory of the Lord was lifted up, from above the cherubim, to the threshold of the house. And the house was filled with the cloud. And the court was filled with the splendor of the glory of the Lord.	4 E levossi la gloria di Dio sopra i Cherubini al sogliare della casa; e la casa fu piena di nuvola, e lo cammino anche fu pieno della gloria di Dio.
5 And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even in the outer court, like the voice of Almighty God speaking.	5 E lo suono dell' ale de' Cherubini s' udiva di fuori del cammino, quasi come la voce dello onnipotente Dio parlante.
6 And when he had instructed the man who was clothed with linen, saying, “Take fire from the midst of the wheels that are between the cherubim,” he entered and stood next to the wheel.	6 E quando ebbe comandato all' uomo ch' era vestito di lino, dicendoli: piglia lo fuoco del mezzo delle ruote, che sono tra' Cherubini; entratovi colui stette a lato alla ruota.
7 And one cherub extended his hand, from the midst of the cherubim, to the fire that was between the cherubim. And he took and gave it into the hands of the one who was clothed with linen, and he accepted it and went forth.	7 E uno Cherubino distese la sua mano, del mezzo de' Cherubini, al fuoco ch' era entro a' Cherubini; e tolselo, e diedelo nelle mani di colui ch' era vestito di lino; lo quale togliendo uscì fuori.
8 And there appeared amid the cherubim the likeness of the hand of a man, under their wings.	8 E appario nelli Cherubini una similitudine d'una mano d' uomo sotto le penne loro.
9 And I saw, and behold, there were four wheels beside the cherubim. One wheel was next to one cherub, and another wheel was next to another cherub. And the appearance of the wheels was like the sight of the chrysolite stone.	9 E io vidi, ed ecco quattro ruote erano a lato a' Cherubini; e una ruota era a lato a uno Cherubino, e l'altra a lato all' altro; e la specie delle ruote era come una similitudine d'una pietra che si chiama crisolito.
10 And in their appearance, each one of the four were similar, as if a wheel were in the midst of a wheel.	10 E lo loro aspetto avea similitudine d' una delle quattro, quasi come fosse una ruota nel mezzo della ruota.
11 And when they went, they advanced in four parts. And they did not turn as they went. Instead, to the place to which they were inclined to go at first, the rest also followed, and they did not turn back.	11 E quando andavano, in quattro parti andavano, e quelli che andavano non ritornavano; ma allo luogo, al quale quella ch' era prima declinava per andare, le altre seguitavano, e non ritornavano.
12 And their entire body, with their necks and their hands and their wings and the circles, were full of eyes all around the four wheels.	12 E tutto lo loro corpo, lo collo e le mani e le penne e' cerchielli tutti erano pieni d' occhi, nel circuito delle quattro ruote.
13 And in my hearing, he called these wheels: “constantly changing.”	13 E quelle ruote chiamolle volubili, udendo me.
14 Now each one had four faces. One face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and in the third was the face of a lion, and in the fourth was the face of an eagle.	14 E aveano quattro facce; una faccia era faccia di Cherubino; e la seconda, faccia d'uomo; e nello terzo, faccia di leone; e nel quarto, faccia d'aquila.
15 And the cherubim were lifted up. This is the living creature, which I had seen beside the river Chebar.	15 E li Cherubini si levarono; quello è l' animale ch' io avea veduto a lato al fiume di Cobar.
16 And when the cherubim advanced, the wheels also went beside them. And when the cherubim lifted up their wings in order to be raised up from the earth, the wheels did not remain behind, but they also were beside them.	16 Quando andavano li Cherubini, e le ruote andavano a lato a loro; e quando levavano li Cherubini l'ale per levarsi di terra, le ruote non istavano, ma incontinente erano a lato a loro.
17 When they were standing, these stood still. And when they were lifted up, these were lifted up. For the spirit of life was in them.	17 E quando loro istavano, e quelle istavano; e quando si levavano, e quelle anche si levavano; però che lo spirito della vita era in loro.
18 And the glory of the Lord went forth from the threshold of the temple, and stood above the cherubim.	18 E la gloria del Signore uscìo del sogliaro del tempio, e stette sopra i Cherubini.
19 And the cherubim, lifting up their wings, were raised up from the earth in my sight. And as they went away, the wheels also followed. And it stood at the entrance to the east gate of the house of the Lord. And the glory of the God of Israel was over them.	19 E levando i Cherubini l'ale, si alzarono da terra innanzi a me; e uscendo loro fuori, e le ruote seguitarono; e istette nello introito della porta orientale della casa di Dio, e la gloria di Dio d'Israel era sopra loro.
20 This is the living creature, which I saw under the God of Israel beside the river Chebar. And I understood that they were cherubim.	20 Quello è l'animale ch' io vidi sotto allo Iddio d' Israel a lato al fiume (che si chiama) Cobar; e intesi ch' erano Cherubini.
21 Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings. And the likeness of the hand of a man was under their wings.	21 Quattro (cioè quattro) volti avea cadauno (di quelli quattro animali), e quattro ale; e similitudine di mano d'uomo era sotto l'ale.
22 And, concerning the appearance of their faces, these were the same faces that I had seen beside the river Chebar, and the gaze and force of each one of them was to go before his face.	22 E la similitudine delli loro volti erano quasi com'e' volti che avea veduti a lato al fiume (che si chiama) Cobar, e lo loro guardare e lo impeto di ciascuno (vidi) entrare inanzi alla faccia sua.
