1 T hen I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubims there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.

Katahi ahau ka titiro atu, nana, i te kikorangi, i runga ake i te mahunga o nga kerupima, ka kitea i runga i a ratou me te mea he kohatu hapaira, rite tonu ki te ahua o te torona ki te titiro.

2 A nd he spake unto the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, even under the cherub, and fill thine hand with coals of fire from between the cherubims, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight.

Na ka korero ia ki te tangata i te kakahu rinena, i mea ia, Tomo atu ki waenganui o nga wira e hurihuri na, ara ki raro i te kerupa, whakakiia ou ringa e rua ki nga waro ahi i waenganui i nga kerupima, ka rui ki runga ki te pa. Na haere ana ia me te titiro ano ahau.

3 N ow the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.

Na i tu nga kerupima ki te taha ki matau o te whare, i te tomonga o taua tangata; ki tonu hoki to roto marae i te kapua.

4 T hen the glory of the Lord went up from the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the Lord’s glory.

Katahi ka kake te kororia o Ihowa i te kerupa, a ka tu i runga ake i te paepae o te whare; ki tonu iho te whare i te kapua, ki tonu hoki te marae i te kanapatanga o to Ihowa kororia.

5 A nd the sound of the cherubims’ wings was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh.

Na, ko te haruru o nga parirau o nga kerupima, i rangona ki te marae ra ano o waho, me te mea ko te reo o te Atua Kaha Rawa ina korero.

6 A nd it came to pass, that when he had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubims; then he went in, and stood beside the wheels.

Na, i tana whakahaunga i te tangata i te kakahu rinena, i tana meatanga, Tikina he ahi i waenganui o nga wira hurihuri, i waenganui o nga kerupima; katahi tera ka haere ki roto, ka tu ki te taha o tetahi wira.

7 A nd one cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubims unto the fire that was between the cherubims, and took thereof, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linen: who took it, and went out.

Na ka totoro te ringa o te kerupa i waenganui o nga kerupima ki te ahi i waenganui o nga kerupima, hapainga ana e ia i reira, hoatu ana ki nga ringa o tera i te kakahu rinena. Na tangohia ana e tera, a puta atu ana.

8 A nd there appeared in the cherubims the form of a man’s hand under their wings.

I kitea ano te ahua o te ringa tangata i nga kerupima i raro i o ratou parirau.

9 A nd when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubims, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was as the colour of a beryl stone.

A i kite ahau, na e wha nga wira i te taha o nga kerupima, kotahi te wira i te taha o te kerupa kotahi, ko tetahi wira i te taha o tetahi atu kerupa. Na, ko te ahua o nga wira koia ano kei te kara o te kohatu perira.

10 A nd as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel.

Na ki te tirohia atu aua mea, kotahi ano te ahua o ratou e wha, me te mea kotahi te wira i roto i te wira.

11 W hen they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not as they went, but to the place whither the head looked they followed it; they turned not as they went.

I to ratou haerenga i haere i o ratou taha e wha; kihai i tahuri i a ratou i haere ra, engari, ko te wahi i anga atu ai te matenga, whai tonu atu ratou ki reira; kihai i tahuri i a ratou i haere ra.

12 A nd their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about, even the wheels that they four had.

Na, ko to ratou tinana katoa, ko o ratou tuara, ko o ratou ringa, ko o ratou parirau, a ko nga wira hoki, kapi tonu i te kanohi a taka noa, ara nga wira i a ratou tokowha.

13 A s for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O wheel.

Na ko nga wira ra, i karangatia i ahau ano e whakarongo ana, ko nga wira hurihuri.

14 A nd every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.

Na e wha nga mata o tetahi, o tetahi; ko te mata tuatahi he mata kerupa, ko te mata tuarua he mata tangata, ko te tuatoru he mata raiona, ko te tuawha he mata ekara.

15 A nd the cherubims were lifted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar.

Na ka maiangi nga kerupima ki runga. Ko te mea ora tenei i kitea e ahau ki te awa, ki Kepara.

16 A nd when the cherubims went, the wheels went by them: and when the cherubims lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also turned not from beside them.

Na, i te haerenga o nga kerupima, i haere ano nga wira i to ratou taha, a ka ara ake nga parirau o nga kerupima, he mea kia maiangi ake ai i te whenua, kihai aua wira i tahuri ke i to ratou taha.

17 W hen they stood, these stood; and when they were lifted up, these lifted up themselves also: for the spirit of the living creature was in them.

Ka tu era, ka tu enei; ka maiangi era ki runga, ka maiangi ano enei ki runga; no te mea i roto i a ratou te wairua o te mea ora.

18 T hen the glory of the Lord departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubims.

Na kua riro atu te kororia o Ihowa i runga i te paepae o te whare, tau ana ki runga ki nga kerupima.

19 A nd the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also were beside them, and every one stood at the door of the east gate of the Lord’s house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.

Na ka ara nga parirau o nga kerupima, maiangi ana i te whenua, i ahau e titiro atu ana i to ratou haerenga atu, me nga wira ano i to ratou taha: a tu ana ratou i te kuwaha o te keti ki te rawhiti o te whare o Ihowa; a i runga i a ratou te korori a o te Atua o Iharaira, i te taha ki runga.

20 T his is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they were the cherubims.

Ko te mea ora tenei i kitea e ahau i raro i te atua o Iharaira, i te awa, i Kepara; i mohio ano ahau he kerupima era.

21 E very one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.

E wha nga mata o tenei, o tenei, e wha ano nga parirau o tenei, o tenei; i raro ano i o ratou parirau ko te ahua o te ringa tangata.

22 A nd the likeness of their faces was the same faces which I saw by the river of Chebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one straight forward.

Na, ko te ahua o o ratou mata ko aua mata i kitea ra e ahau ki te awa, ki Kepara, o ratou ahua me ratou ano; i tika tonu atu ratou tetahi, tetahi.
