BIBBIA RICCIOTTICATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 - Allora vidi, ed ecco nel firmamento che stava sopra le teste dei cherubini ricomparire come una pietra di zaffiro che aveva l'aspetto della forma d'un trono.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.
2 E la voce parlò all'uomo dalle vesti di lino e gli disse: «Entra tra le ruote che sono sotto ai cherubini, e prendi una manata di carboni della brace che sta fra i cherubini e rovesciali sulla città»; e lo vidi entrare.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.
3 I cherubini si erano fermati a destra della casa, quando l'uomo entrò e una nuvola aveva riempito tutto l'atrio di dentro.3 Now the cherubim were standing before the right side of the house, when the man entered. And a cloud filled the inner court.
4 E la gloria del Signore si alzò dal disopra dei cherubini fino al limitare della casa, e la casa fu ravvolta in una nuvola e l'atrio ripieno dello splendore della gloria del Signore.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.
5 E il rombo delle ali dei cherubini si udiva fin nell'atrio di fuori, come la tonante voce del Dio onnipotente.5 And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even in the outer court, like the voice of Almighty God speaking.
6 Dato ordine dunque al personaggio dalle vesti di lino dicendo: «Prendi il fuoco d'infra le ruote che stanno tra i cherubini», quegli entrò e ristette a fianco della ruota.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.
7 E uno dei cherubini allungò fra di essi una mano alla brace che ardeva tra i cherubini, ne raccattò e la pose in mano a quello dalle vesti di lino che raccoltala uscì.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.
8 Apparve così nei cherubini la mano, somigliante a quella dell'uomo sotto alle loro ali.8 And there appeared amid the cherubim the likeness of the hand of a man, under their wings.
9 Ed ecco che rividi le quattro ruote l'una accanto a un cherubino e l'altra a lato dell'altro cherubino e così via; e l'aspetto delle ruote dava la vista come di pietra di crisolito.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.
10 L'aspetto quanto alla forma era quello stesso in tutte quattro, come una ruota entro un'altra ruota.10 And in their appearance, each one of the four were similar, as if a wheel were in the midst of a wheel.
11 Movendosi giravano sui quattro lati, e nel muoversi non si rivolgevano; ma dalla parte verso cui tendeva quella dinanzi, traevano anche le altre e non si rivolgevano;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.
12 e tutto il corpo dei cherubini, il dosso, le mani, le ali, e i cerchi delle ruote tutto era pieno d'occhi all'ingiro delle quattro ruote.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.
13 E udii io stesso che chiamò queste ruote le vorticose .13 And in my hearing, he called these wheels: “constantly changing.”
14 Avevano poi quattro fattezze diverse una per ciascuno, uno aveva le fattezze di cherubino, il secondo le fattezze d'uomo, il terzo le fattezze di leone, il quarto le fattezze d'aquila.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.
15 E i cherubini si sollevarono in alto: erano gli stessi animali che aveva veduto presso il fiume Cobar.15 And the cherubim were lifted up. This is the living creature, which I had seen beside the river Chebar.
16 E quando i cherubini si movevano, parimenti si movevano appresso a loro anche le ruote; e quando i cherubini si libravano sulle ali per sollevarsi da terra, le ruote non ristavano, ma andavano loro appresso.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.
17 Col fermarsi di quelli si fermavano e col sollevarsi di quelli si sollevavano, perchè c'era in esse lo spirito che le animava.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.
18 E la gloria del Signore si partì dal limitare del tempio e andò a posarsi sui cherubini.18 And the glory of the Lord went forth from the threshold of the temple, and stood above the cherubim.
19 E i cherubini librandosi sulle ali si sollevarono da terra davanti a me e partendo essi trassero dietro anche le ruote e si fermarono all'ingresso della porta orientale della casa del Signore e la gloria del Dio d'Israele stava sopra di essi.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.
20 Erano dunque gli animali medesimi che aveva veduto sotto il trono del Dio d'Israele presso il fiume Cobar e riconobbi che erano i cherubini,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.
21 alle quattro fattezze diverse di ciascuno, alle quattro ali, alle mani a guisa d'uomo sotto le loro ali,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.
22 alla figura delle loro fattezze, le stesse che aveva visto presso il fiume Cobar, al loro aspetto e al portamento di ciascuno nel muoversi nella propria direzione.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.
