Ezechiele 10

BIBBIA TINTORI	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 E vidi ed ecco apparire nel firmamento, che era sopra il capo dei cherubini, come una pietra di zaffiro, e sopra di essa come una specie di 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 disse (il Signore) all'uomo vestito di lino: « Entra in mezzo alle ruote, che sono sotto i cherubini, ed empi la tua mano di carboni accesi che sono tra i cherubini, e gettali sulla città ». E lo vidi andare.	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 E i cherubini stavano a destra della casa, quando quell'uomo andò, ed una nube riempiva l'atrio interiore.	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 sopra i cherubini e (venne) alla soglia della casa e la casa fu invasa dalla nube, e l'atrio fu 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 rumore delle ali dei cherubini si sentiva fin dall'atrio esteriore, come la voce di Dio onnipotente quando parla.	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 E avendo (il Signore) dato all'uomo vestito di lino questo ordine: « Prendi il fuoco di mezzo alle ruote che sono tra i cherubini », egli andò e si fermò presso le ruote.	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 un cherubino tese la mano, in mezzo ai cherubini, al fuoco che era tra i cherubini e ne prese e lo mise nella mano di colui che era vestito di lino, il quale lo prese e partì.	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 E apparve nei cherubini come una mano di uomo sotto le loro ali.	8 And there appeared amid the cherubim the likeness of the hand of a man, under their wings.
9 E vidi, ed ecco quattro ruote presso i cherubini, una ruota a lato d'un cherubino, un'altra ruota a lato d'un altro cherubino, l'aspetto delle ruote era come quello della pietra 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 e nell'aspetto tutte quattro eran simili, come se una ruota fosse nel mezzo di un'altra.	10 And in their appearance, each one of the four were similar, as if a wheel were in the midst of a wheel.
11 E quando si movevano andavano dai quattro lati e non ritornavano nell'andare, ma al luogo dove s'indirizzava quella che era prima andavano le altre senza mutar direzione.	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 di esse, e i colli e le mani e le ali e i cerchi eran pieni di occhi all'intorno 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 Io sentii che queste ruote le chiamò volubili.	13 And in my hearing, he called these wheels: “constantly changing.”
14 (Ciascuno degli animali) aveva quattro facce: la prima faccia era faccia di cherubino; la seconda faccia era faccia di uomo; la terza faccia era faccia di leone, e la quarta faccia 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 alzarono in alto: eran gli stessi animali che avevo veduti 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 Quando si movevano i cherubini, si movevano dietro ad essi anche le ruote, e quando i cherubini stendevano le loro ali per alzarsi da terra, le ruote non restavan ferme, ma andavano anch'esse dietro a loro.	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 Se essi si fermavano si fermavano anch'esse e se essi si alzavano anch'esse si alzavano, avendo in sè lo spirito della vita.	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 uscì dalla soglia 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 above the cherubim.
19 Alla mia presenza i cherubini, stese le loro ali, si alzarono da terra, e andaron loro dietro le ruote, quando partirono, e si fermarono all'ingresso della porta orientale della casa del Signore, e sopra di essi stava la gloria del Dio d'Israele.	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 Eran gli stessi animali da me visti sotto il Dio d'Israele presso il fiume Cobar, e capii che erano 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 Ciascun di essi aveva quattro facce e quattro ali, e una specie di mano d'uomo sotto le 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 L'aspetto dei loro volti era proprio dei volti da me visti presso il fiume Cobar, e come il loro aspetto, così l'impeto di ciascuno di andare in direzione della sua faccia.	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.
