Ezechiele 10

BIBBIA MARTINI	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Vidi, ed ecco nel firmamento stante sopra il capo dei Cherubini apparve sopra di essi come una pietra di zaffiro, come una specie di trono.	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 il Signore parlo all'uomo vestito di lino, e disse: Entra nel mezzo delle ruote, che sono sotto i Cherubini; e prendi quanto cape nella tua mano de' carboni accesi, che sono tra i Cherubini, e gettali sulla città. E quegli andò vedendol' io.	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 i Cherubini stavano al lato destro della casa, quando quell'uomo entrò, e una nuvola empieva l'atrio interiore.	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 la gloria del Signore fu alzata sopra i Cherubini al liminare della casa, e la casa fu ingombrata dalla nuvola, e l'atrio fu ripieno dallo 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 E il romor delle ale dei Cherubini si udiva fino all'atrio esteriore, come la voce di Dio onnipotente, che parlava.	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 avendo egli ordinato, e detto a colui, che era vestito di lino: Prendi il fuoco di mezzo alle ruote, che sono trai Cherubini: andò quegli, e si stette presso una 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 de' quattro Cherubini stese sua mano al fuoco, che era trai Cherubini, e ne prese, e poselo nella man di colui, che era vestito di lino, il quale avendolo preso, se ne andò.	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 apparve nei Cherubini una come mano di uomo sotto le loro ale:	8 And there appeared in the cherubims the likeness of a man's hand under their wings.
9 E vidi, ed ecco quattro ruote presso ai Cherubini, una ruota presso ad uno, e un'altra presso ad un altro Cherubino: e l'aspetto delle ruote era come una specie di pietra 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 Ed erano tutte quattro al vedersi di una stessa forma, come se una ruota fosse nel mezzo di un'altra.	10 And as to their appearance, all four were alike: as if a wheel were in the midst of a wheel.
11 E quando si moveano, camminavano da quattro lati, e non si volgevano altrove in andando; ma a quel luogo, a cui s'indirizzava quella, che era la prima, la seguivano anche le altre, né mutavano direzione.	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 il corpo di esse, e i colli, e le mani, e le ali, e i cerchi eran pieni di occhi all'intorno alle 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 a queste ruote sentii io, ch'ei diede il nome di volubili.	13 And these wheels he called voluble, in my hearing.
14 Ognuno degli animali avea quattro facce, la prima faccia era faccia di Cherubino, e la seconda faccia era faccia di uomo, e la terza faccia di leone, e la quarta faccia di 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 in alto: ei son gli stessi animali, che io avea veduti presso il fiume Chobar.	15 And the cherubims were lifted up: this is the living creature that I had seen by the river Chobar.
16 E mentre i Cherubini si moveano,si moveano parimente le ruote dietro ad essi, e quando i Cherubini stendevan le loro ale per alzarsi da terra, le ruote non istavan ferme, ma elle ancora andavano presso 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 Se quei posavano, elle posavano, e alzandosi quelli, si alzavano: perchè era in esse lo spirito di vita.	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 partì dal liminare del tempio, e si posò 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, stendendo le loro ale, si alzaron da terra veggente me, e al partirsi di quelli, le ruote ancor li seguirono, ed ei si fermarono all'ingresso della porta orientale della casa del Signore, e la gloria del Dio d'Israele era sopra di essi.	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 Eran gli stessi animali, ch'io vidi sotto il Dio d'Israele presso il fiume Chobar, e io conobbi, ch' erano i 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 Ognun di essi ha quattro volti, e quattro ale, e una come mano di uomo sotto di essi.	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 l'immagine de' loro volti era come quegli stessi volti, che io avea veduti presso il fiume Chobar, come pure il mirare, e muoversi ciascuno di essi con impeto secondo la direzione de' loro volti.	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.
