Ezechiele 10

DIODATI	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 POI riguardai, ed ecco, sopra la distesa ch’era sopra il capo dei Cherubini, vi era come una pietra di zaffiro, simigliante in vista ad un trono, il quale appariva sopra loro.	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 colui che sedeva sopra il trono disse all’uomo ch’era vestito di panni lini: Entra per mezzo le ruote, di sotto a’ Cherubini, ed empiti le pugna di brace di fuoco, d’infra i Cherubini, e spargile sopra la città. Ed egli vi entrò nel mio cospetto.	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 Ed i Cherubini erano fermi dal lato destro della Casa, quando quell’uomo entrò là; e la nuvola riempiè il cortile di 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 Poi la gloria del Signore si levò d’in su i Cherubini, traendo verso la soglia della Casa; e la Casa fu ripiena della nuvola; e il cortile fu ripieno dello splendor della gloria del Signore.	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 Ed il suono dell’ali de’ Cherubini si udiva fino al cortile di fuori, simile alla voce dell’Iddio onnipotente, quando egli parla.	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 Ora, quando colui ebbe comandato all’uomo vestito di panni lini, dicendo: Prendi del fuoco di mezzo delle ruote, d’infra i Cherubini, egli venne, e si fermò presso ad una delle ruote.	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 l’uno de’ Cherubini distese la sua mano, d’infra i Cherubini, verso il fuoco, ch’era per mezzo i Cherubini, e ne prese, e lo diede nelle pugna di colui ch’era vestito di panni lini; il quale lo pigliò, ed 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 Or ne’ Cherubini appariva una figura d’una man d’uomo, sotto alle loro ali.	8 And there appeared in the cherubims the likeness of a man's hand under their wings.
9 Ed io riguardai, ed ecco quattro ruote allato a’ Cherubini, ciascuna ruota allato a ciascun Cherubino; e le ruote rassomigliavano in vista al color della pietra del grisolito.	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 quant’è alla lor sembianza, tutte e quattro erano d’una medesima sembianza; come se una ruota fosse stata in mezzo d’un’altra ruota.	10 And as to their appearance, all four were alike: as if a wheel were in the midst of a wheel.
11 Quando si movevano, si movevano tutte e quattro, ciascuna dal lato suo; e movendosi, non si volgevano qua e là; anzi là dove si volgeva il capo, esse si volgevano dietro a lui; movendosi, non si volgevano qua e là.	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 Vi era eziandio tutta la carne de’ Cherubini, e i lor dossi, e le lor mani, e le loro ali; e quant’è alle ruote, le lor quattro ruote erano piene d’occhi d’ogn’intorno.	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 fu gridato alle ruote, udente me: O ruote.	13 And these wheels he called voluble, in my hearing.
14 E ciascun Cherubino avea quattro facce; la prima faccia era faccia di Cherubino; la seconda, faccia d’uomo; la terza, faccia di leone; e la quarta, 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 i Cherubini si alzarono. Questi erano i medesimi animali, che io avea veduti presso al fiume Chebar.	15 And the cherubims were lifted up: this is the living creature that I had seen by the river Chobar.
16 E quando i Cherubini camminavano, le ruote ancora si movevano allato a loro; e quando i Cherubini alzavano le loro ali, per elevarsi da terra, le ruote ancora non si rivolgevano d’appresso 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 Quando quelli si fermavano, le ruote altresì si fermavano; quando essi si alzavano, le ruote si alzavano insieme con loro; perciocchè lo spirito degli animali era in esse.	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 Poi la gloria del Signore si partì d’in su la soglia della Casa, stando 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 i Cherubini, uscendo fuori, alzarono le loro ali, e si elevarono da terra nel mio cospetto; e le ruote si elevarono parimente con loro; e quelli si fermarono all’entrata della porta orientale, della Casa del Signore; e la gloria dell’Iddio d’Israele era al disopra di 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 Questi erano gli stessi animali, che io avea veduti sotto l’Iddio d’Israele, presso al fiume Chebar; ed io riconobbi che 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 Ciascun di loro avea quattro facce e quattro ali; ed aveano sotto alle loro ali una sembianza di mani d’uomo.	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 quant’è alla sembianza delle lor facce, erano le medesime, che io avea vedute presso al fiume Chebar; erano i medesimi aspetti di quelli anzi i Cherubini erano gli stessi; ciascuno camminava diritto davanti a sè	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.
