Ezequiel 10

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Olhei. Na abóbada estendida acima da cabeça dos querubins, havia como que uma pedra de safira, uma espécie de trono, que aparecia sobre eles.	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 {O Senhor} disse então ao homem vestido de linho: Passa no meio das rodas, debaixo do querubim; enche a mão de carvões ardentes que tomarás entre os querubins, e espalha essas brasas sobre a cidade. E ele se foi sob as minhas vistas.	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 Quando o homem acabou de fazer isso, estavam os querubins à direita do templo, e a nuvem enchia o átrio interior.	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 A glória do Senhor elevou-se acima dos querubins até a soleira do templo, e enquanto o esplendor da glória do Senhor enchia o átrio, a nuvem invadia o templo.	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 O ruflar das asas dos querubins fazia-se ouvir até no pátio exterior, e assemelhava-se à voz do Deus onipotente quando fala.	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 Apenas havia ordenado ao homem de linho tomar o fogo no intervalo das rodas, entre os querubins, este veio postar-se junto de uma roda,	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 {um dos} querubins estendeu a mão para o fogo que se encontrava em meio dos querubins. Daí ele retirou brasas, que colocou na mão do homem vestido de linho, o qual as tomou, e saiu.	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 Notei que os querubins pareciam ter mãos humanas sob as asas.	8 And there appeared amid the cherubim the likeness of the hand of a man, under their wings.
9 Eu olhei ainda. Havia ao lado dos querubins quatro rodas, uma junto a cada um deles. Possuíam o clarão da gema de Társis.	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 Todas as quatro pareciam ter a mesma forma, e cada uma parecia estar no meio da outra.	10 And in their appearance, each one of the four were similar, as if a wheel were in the midst of a wheel.
11 Deslocando-se nas quatro direções, avançavam sem se voltarem, porque iam sempre na direção tomada pela que ia à frente, sem se voltar em seu movimento.	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 Todo o seu corpo, suas costas, suas mãos e suas asas, assim como as rodas, achavam-se guarnecidas de olhos em derredor: cada um dos quatro possuía uma roda.	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 Ouvi que se dava a essas rodas o nome de turbilhão.	13 And in my hearing, he called these wheels: “constantly changing.”
14 Cada um {dos querubins} tinha quatro faces: o primeiro, a de um querubim; o segundo, um aspecto humano; o terceiro, o de um touro, e o quarto o de uma águia.	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 Os querubins se elevaram {eram os seres vivos que eu tinha visto às margens do Cobar}.	15 And the cherubim were lifted up. This is the living creature, which I had seen beside the river Chebar.
16 Quando os querubins se deslocavam, as rodas se deslocavam com eles; quando desdobravam as asas para elevar-se da terra, as rodas não se desprendiam deles.	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 Quando paravam, as rodas paravam; se se elevavam no espaço, elas de igual modo se elevavam, porque o espírito desses seres vivos estava {também} nelas.	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 De repente, a glória do Senhor deixou a soleira do templo e pousou sobre os querubins.	18 And the glory of the Lord went forth from the threshold of the temple, and stood above the cherubim.
19 Estes desdobraram as asas, e eu os vi alçarem-se da terra com as rodas ao lado, para partirem. Eles pararam à entrada da porta oriental do templo, dominados pela glória do Senhor.	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 Estavam lá os seres vivos que eu tinha visto debaixo do Deus de Israel, às margens do Cobar, e reconheci os querubins:	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 cada um tinha quatro figuras e quatro asas, e sob as asas algo parecido com mãos humanas.	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 Suas figuras assemelhavam-se àquelas que eu tinha visto às margens do Cobar. Cada um deles ia para a frente diante de si.	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.
