Ezekiel 10

NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Then, in vision I saw that above the solid surface over the heads of the winged creatures there wasabove them something like sapphire, which seemed to be like a throne.	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.
2 He then said to the man dressed in linen, 'Go in between the wheels below the winged creatures; takea handful of burning coal from between the winged creatures and scatter it over the city.' He went in as Iwatched.	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:
3 The winged creatures were on the right of the Temple as the man went in, and the cloud fil ed theinner court.	3 And the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in, and a cloud filled the inner court.
4 The glory of Yahweh rose from above the winged creatures, towards the threshold of the Temple; theTemple was fil ed by the cloud and the court was full of the brightness of the glory of Yahweh.	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.
5 The noise of the winged creatures' wings could be heard even in the outer court, like the voice of GodAlmighty when he speaks.	5 And the sound of the wings of the cherubims was heard even to the outward court as the voice of God Almighty speaking.
6 When he had given the order to the man dressed in linen, 'Take the fire from between the wheels,between the winged creatures,' the man went in and stood by one of the wheels.	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,
7 One of the winged creatures then reached his hand out towards the fire between the wingedcreatures, took some of it and put it into the hands of the man dressed in linen, who took it and came out again.	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.
8 There appeared to be what looked like a human hand under the winged creatures' wings.	8 And there appeared in the cherubims the likeness of a man's hand under their wings.
9 And I looked, and there were four wheels beside the winged creatures, one wheel beside each wingedcreature, and the appearance of the wheels was like the sparkle of chrysolite.	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:
10 In appearance, al four looked alike, as though each wheel had another wheel inside it.	10 And as to their appearance, all four were alike: as if a wheel were in the midst of a wheel.
11 In whichever of the four directions they moved, they did not need to turn as they moved, butwhichever way the head was facing there they fol owed; they did not turn as they moved,	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.
12 and their entire bodies, their backs, their hands, their wings, as wel as the wheels, had eyes al theway round (the wheels of al four).	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.
13 In my hearing, these wheels were called 'galgal'.	13 And these wheels he called voluble, in my hearing.
14 Each had four faces; the first was a winged creature's face, the second a human face, the third alion's face and the fourth an eagle's face.	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.
15 The winged creatures rose; this was the being I had seen by the River Chebar.	15 And the cherubims were lifted up: this is the living creature that I had seen by the river Chobar.
16 When the winged creatures moved, the wheels moved beside them; and when the winged creaturesraised their wings to leave the ground, the wheels did not turn beside them.	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.
17 When the former halted the latter halted; when the former rose, the latter rose with them, since theyshared the same living spirit.	17 When they stood, these stood: and when they were lifted up, these were lifted up: for the spirit of life was in them.
18 The glory of Yahweh then came out over the Temple threshold and paused over the wingedcreatures.	18 And the glory of the Lord went forth from the threshold of the temple: and stood over the cherubims.
19 These raised their wings and rose from the ground as I watched, and the wheels were beside them.They paused at the entrance to the east gate of the Temple of Yahweh, with the glory of the God of Israel over them, above.	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.
20 This was the winged creature I had seen beneath the God of Israel by the River Chebar; I knew thatthey were winged creatures.	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.
21 Each had four faces and four wings and what seemed to be human hands under their wings.	21 Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings: and the likeness of a man's hand was under their wings.
22 Their faces were like those I had seen by the River Chebar. Each one moved straight forward.	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.
