1 O lhei e vi algo semelhante a um trono de safira sobre a abóbada que estava por cima das cabeças dos querubins.

Then 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.

2 O Senhor disse ao homem vestido de linho: “Vá entre as rodas, por baixo dos querubins. Encha as mãos com brasas ardentes apanhadas de entre os querubins e espalhe-as sobre a cidade”. E, enquanto eu observava, ele foi.

And 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.

3 O ra, os querubins estavam no lado sul do templo quando o homem entrou, e uma nuvem encheu o pátio interno.

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

4 E ntão a glória do Senhor levantou-se de cima dos querubins e moveu-se para a entrada do templo. A nuvem encheu o templo, e o pátio foi tomado pelo resplendor da glória do Senhor.

Then 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.

5 O som das asas dos querubins podia ser ouvido até no pátio externo, como a voz do Deus todo-poderoso, quando ele fala.

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

6 Q uando o Senhor ordenou ao homem vestido de linho: “Apanhe fogo do meio das rodas, do meio dos querubins”, o homem foi e colocou-se ao lado de uma roda.

And 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.

7 N o meio do fogo que estava entre os querubins um deles estendeu a mão, apanhou algumas brasas e as colocou nas mãos do homem vestido de linho, que as recebeu e saiu.

And 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.

8 ( Debaixo das asas dos querubins podia-se ver o que se parecia com mãos humanas.)

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

9 O lhei e vi ao lado dos querubins quatro rodas, uma ao lado de cada um dos querubins; as rodas reluziam como berilo.

And 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.

10 Q uanto à sua aparência, eram iguais, e cada uma parecia estar entrosada na outra.

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

11 E nquanto se moviam, elas iam em qualquer uma das quatro direções que tomavam os querubins; as rodas não se viravam enquanto os querubins se moviam. Eles seguiam qualquer direção à sua frente, sem se virar.

When 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.

12 S eus corpos, inclusive as costas, as mãos e as asas, estavam completamente cheios de olhos, como as suas quatro rodas.

And 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.

13 Q uanto às rodas, ouvi que as chamavam “giratórias”.

As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O wheel.

14 C ada um dos querubins tinha quatro rostos: Um rosto era o de um querubim, o segundo, de um homem, o terceiro, de um leão, e o quarto, de uma águia.

And 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.

15 E ntão os querubins se elevaram. Eram os mesmos seres viventes que eu tinha visto junto ao rio Quebar.

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

16 Q uando os querubins se moviam, as rodas ao lado deles se moviam; quando os querubins estendiam as asas para erguer-se do chão, as rodas também iam com eles.

And 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.

17 Q uando os querubins se mantinham imóveis, elas também ficavam; e quando os querubins se levantavam, elas se levantavam com eles, porque o espírito dos seres viventes estava nelas.

When 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.

18 E a glória do Senhor afastou-se da entrada do templo e parou sobre os querubins.

Then the glory of the Lord departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubims.

19 E nquanto eu observava, os querubins estenderam as asas e se ergueram do chão, e as rodas foram com eles. Eles pararam à entrada da porta oriental do templo do Senhor, e a glória do Deus de Israel estava sobre eles.

And 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.

20 E sses seres viventes eram os mesmos que eu tinha visto debaixo do Deus de Israel, junto ao rio Quebar, e percebi que eles eram querubins.

This 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.

21 C ada um tinha quatro rostos e quatro asas, e debaixo de suas asas havia o que parecia mãos humanas.

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

22 S eus rostos tinham a mesma aparência daqueles que eu tinha visto junto ao rio Quebar. Todos iam sempre para a frente.

And 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.
