Ezechiele 10

BIBBIA VOLGARE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
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.	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 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.	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 E li Cherubini stavano dalla parte diritta della casa, quanto entroe l'uomo, e la nuvola empì lo cammino dentro.	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 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.	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 E lo suono dell' ale de' Cherubini s' udiva di fuori del cammino, quasi come la voce dello onnipotente Dio parlante.	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 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.	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 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.	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 E appario nelli Cherubini una similitudine d'una mano d' uomo sotto le penne loro.	8 And there appeared in the cherubims the likeness of a man's hand under their wings.
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.	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 E lo loro aspetto avea similitudine d' una delle quattro, quasi come fosse una ruota nel mezzo della ruota.	10 And as to their appearance, all four were alike: as if a wheel were in the midst of a wheel.
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.	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 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.	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 E quelle ruote chiamolle volubili, udendo me.	13 And these wheels he called voluble, in my hearing.
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.	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 E li Cherubini si levarono; quello è l' animale ch' io avea veduto a lato al fiume di Cobar.	15 And the cherubims were lifted up: this is the living creature that I had seen by the river Chobar.
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.	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 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.	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 E la gloria del Signore uscìo del sogliaro del tempio, e stette sopra i Cherubini.	18 And the glory of the Lord went forth from the threshold of the temple: and stood over the cherubims.
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.	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 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.	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 Quattro (cioè quattro) volti avea cadauno (di quelli quattro animali), e quattro ale; e similitudine di mano d'uomo era sotto l'ale.	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 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.	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.
