10 — Ezechiel

1And I 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.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.AND I saw, and behold in the firmament, that was ouer the head of the Cherubs, as it were the sapphire stone, as it were the forme of the similitude of a throne appeared ouer them.Et vidi: et ecce in firmamento quod erat super caput cherubim, quasi lapis sapphirus, quasi species similitudinis solii, apparuit super ea. 2And 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: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.And he spake to the man, that was clothed with the linnen garments, and sayd: Goe in the middes of the wheeles that are vnder the Cherubs, and fil thy hand with the coles of fyre, that are betwen the Cherubs, & powre them out vpon the citie. And he went in, in my sight:Et dixit ad virum qui indutus erat lineis, et ait: Ingredere in medio rotarum quæ sunt subtus cherubim, et imple manum tuam prunis ignis quæ sunt inter cherubim, et effunde super civitatem. Ingressusque est in conspectu meo. 3And the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in, and a cloud filled the inner court.E i Cherubini stavano al lato destro della casa, quando quell'uomo entrò, e una nuvola empieva l'atrio interiore.and the Cherubs stood on the right hand of the house, when the man went in, and a cloude filled the inner court.Cherubim autem stabant a dextris domus cum ingrederetur vir, et nubes implevit atrium interius. 4And 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.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.And the glorie of our Lord was lifted vp from aboue the Cherub to the threshold of the house: and the house was replenished with the cloude, and the court was replenished with the brightnes of the glorie of our Lord.Et elevata est gloria Domini desuper cherub ad limen domus: et repleta est domus nube, et atrium repletum est splendore gloriæ Domini.

5And the sound of the wings of the cherubims was heard even to the outward court as the voice of God Almighty speaking.E il romor delle ale dei Cherubini si udiva fino all'atrio esteriore, come la voce di Dio onnipotente, che parlava.And the sound of the winges of the Cherubs was heard euen to the vtter court, as it were the voice of God almightie speaking.Et sonitus alarum cherubim audiebatur usque ad atrium exterius, quasi vox Dei omnipotentis loquentis. 6And 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.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.And when he had commanded the man, that was clothed with the linnen garments, saying: Take fyre from the middes of the wheeles, that are betwen the Cherubs: he being gone in stood beside the wheele.Cumque præcepisset viro qui indutus erat lineis, dicens: Sume ignem de medio rotarum quæ sunt inter cherubim: ingressus ille stetit juxta rotam. 7And 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.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.And a Cherub streched out his hand from the middes of the Cherubs to the fyre, that was betwen the Cherubs: and he tooke, & gaue into his handes, that was clothed with the linnen garments: who taking it went forth.Et extendit cherub manum de medio cherubim ad ignem qui erat inter cherubim, et sumpsit, et dedit in manus ejus qui indutus erat lineis: qui accipiens egressus est. 8And there appeared in the cherubims the likeness of a man’s hand under their wings.E apparve nei Cherubini una come mano di uomo sotto le loro ale:And there appeared in the Cherubs the similitude of a mans hand vnder their winges.Et apparuit in cherubim similitudo manus hominis subtus pennas eorum. 9And 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: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:And I saw, and behold foure wheeles by the Cherubs: one wheele by one Cherub, and another wheele by one Cherub: and the forme of the wheeles was as it were the resemblance of the stone Chrysolithus:Et vidi: et ecce quatuor rotæ juxta cherubim: rota una juxta cherub unum, et rota alia juxta cherub unum: species autem rotarum erat quasi visio lapidis chrysolithi:

10And as to their appearance, all four were alike: as if a wheel were in the midst of a wheel.Ed erano tutte quattro al vedersi di una stessa forma, come se una ruota fosse nel mezzo di un'altra.and their resemblance, one similitude to the foure: as it were a wheele in the middes of a wheele.et aspectus earum similitudo una quatuor, quasi sit rota in medio rotæ. 11And 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.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.And when they walked, they went into foure partes: and they returned not walking: but to the place, wherunto, that which was first, declined, the rest also folowed, neither did they turne.Cumque ambularent, in quatuor partes gradiebantur, et non revertebantur ambulantes: sed ad locum ad quem ire declinabat quæ prima erat, sequebantur et ceteræ, nec convertebantur. 12And their whole body, and their necks, and their hands, and their wings, and the circles were full of eyes, round about the four wheels.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.And al their bodie, and neckes, and handes, and winges, and the circles were ful of eyes, in the circuite of the foure wheeles.Et omne corpus earum, et colla, et manus, et pennæ, et circuli, plena erant oculis in circuitu quatuor rotarum. 13And these wheels he called voluble, in my hearing.E a queste ruote sentii io, ch'ei diede il nome di volubili.And these wheeles he called voluble, my self hearing it.Et rotas istas vocavit volubiles, audiente me. 14And 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.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.And one had foure faces: one face, the face of a Cherub, and the second face, the face of a man: and in the third the face of a lyon: and in the fourth the face of an eagle.Quatuor autem facies habebat unum: facies una, facies cherub, et facies secunda, facies hominis: et in tertio facies leonis, et in quarto facies aquilæ. 15And the cherubims were lifted up: this is the living creature that I had seen by the river Chobar.E i Cherubini si alzarono in alto: ei son gli stessi animali, che io avea veduti presso il fiume Chobar.And the Cherubs were lifted vp: the same is the liuing creature, that I had sene by the riuer Chobar.Et elevata sunt cherubim: ipsum est animal quod videram juxta fluvium Chobar.

16And 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.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.And when the Cherubs walked, the wheeles also went together by them: and when the Cherubs lifted vp their winges, to be raysed vp from the earth, the wheeles rested not, but also were besyde them.Cumque ambularent cherubim, ibant pariter et rotæ juxta ea: et cum elevarent cherubim alas suas ut exaltarentur de terra, non residebant rotæ, sed et ipsæ juxta erant. 17When they stood, these stood: and when they were lifted up, these were lifted up: for the spirit of life was in them.Se quei posavano, elle posavano, e alzandosi quelli, si alzavano: perchè era in esse lo spirito di vita.Those standing, they stood: and with them lifted vp they were lifted vp. For the spirit of life was in them.Stantibus illis stabant, et cum elevatis elevabantur: spiritus enim vitæ erat in eis. 18And the glory of the Lord went forth from the threshold of the temple: and stood over the cherubims.E la gloria del Signore partì dal liminare del tempio, e si posò sopra i Cherubini.And the glorie of our Lord went forth from the threshold of the temple: and stood ouer the Cherubs.Et egressa est gloria Domini a limine templi, et stetit super cherubim. 19And 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.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.And the Cherubs lifting vp their winges, were exalted from the earth before me: and they going forth, the wheeles also folowed: and it stood in the entry of the east gate of the house of our Lord: and the glorie of the God of Israel was ouer them.Et elevantia cherubim alas suas, exaltata sunt a terra coram me: et illis egredientibus, rotæ quoque subsecutæ sunt: et stetit in introitu portæ domus Domini orientalis, et gloria Dei Israël erat super ea. 20This is the living creature, which I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chobar: and I understood that they were cherubims.Eran gli stessi animali, ch'io vidi sotto il Dio d'Israele presso il fiume Chobar, e io conobbi, ch'erano i Cherubini.The same is the liuing creature, which I saw vnder the God of Israel by the riuer Chobar: and I vnderstood that they were Cherubs.Ipsum est animal quod vidi subter Deum Israël juxta fluvium Chobar, et intellexi quia cherubim essent.

21Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings: and the likeness of a man’s hand was under their wings.Ognun di essi ha quattro volti, e quattro ale, e una come mano di uomo sotto di essi.Foure faces to one, and foure winges to one: and the similitude of a mans hand vnder their winges.Quatuor vultus uni, et quatuor alæ uni: et similitudo manus hominis sub alis eorum. 22And 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.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.And the similitude of their faces, the same faces, which I had seene by the riuer Chobar, and the lookes of them, and the sway of euerie one to goe before his face.Et similitudo vultuum eorum, ipsi vultus quos videram juxta fluvium Chobar, et intuitus eorum, et impetus singulorum ante faciem suam ingredi.
