Καὶ ἴδον, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐπάνω τοῦ στερεώματος τοῦ ὑπέρ κεφαλῆς τῶν χερουβεὶμ ὡς λίθος σαπφείρου ὁμοίωμα θρόνου ἐπʼ αὐτῶν.

καὶ ¹³ εἶπεν πρὸς τὸν ἄνδρα τὸν ἐνδεδυκότα τὴν στολὴν Εἴσελθε εἰς τὸ μέσον τῶν τροχῶν τῶν ὑποκάτω τῶν χερουβείν, καὶ πλῆσον τὰς δράκας σου ανθρακων πυρὸς ἐκ μέσου τῶν χερουβεὶν καὶ διασκόρπισον ἐπὶ τὴν πόλιν. καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ἐνώπιόν μου.

καὶ τὰ χερουβεὶν ἱστήκει ἐκ δεξιῶν τοῦ οἴκου ἐν τῷ εἰσπορεύεσθαι τὸν ἄνδρα, καὶ ἡ νεφέλη ἔπλησεν τὴν άὐλὴν τὴν ἐσωτέραν.

καὶ ἀπῆρεν ἡ δόξα Κυρίου ἀπὸ τῶν χερουβεὶν εἰς τὸ αἴθριον τοῦ οἴκου, καὶ ἐνέπλησεν τὸν οἶκον ἡ νεφέλη, καὶ ἡ αὐλὴ ἐπλήσθη τοῦ φέγγους τῆς δόξης Κυρίου.

καὶ φωνὴ τῶν πτερύγων τῶν χερουβεὶν ἠκούετο ἕως τῆς αὐλῆς τῆς ἐξωτέρας ὡς φωνὴ θεοῦ Σαδδαὶ λαλοῦντος.

καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἐντέλλεσθαι αὐτὸν τῷ ἀνδρὶ τῷ ἐνδεδυκότι τὴν στολὴν τὴν ἁγίαν λέγων Λάβε πῦρ ἐκ μέσου τῶν τροχῶν ἐκ μέσου τῶν χερουβείν, καὶ εἰσῆλθεν καὶ ἔστη ἐχόμενος τῶν τροχῶν.

καὶ ἐξέτεινεν τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ εἰς μέσον τοῦ πυρὸς τοῦ ὄντος ἐν μέσῳ τῶν χερουβείν, καὶ ἔλαβεν καὶ ἔδωκεν εἰς τὰς χεῖρας τοῦ ἐνδεδυκότος τὴν στολὴν τὴν ἁγίαν, καὶ ἔλαβεν καὶ ἐξῆλθεν.

καὶ ἴδον τὰ χερουβείν, ὁμοίωμα χειρῶν ἀνθρώπων ὑποκάτωθεν τῶν πτερύγων αὐτῶν.

καὶ ἴδον, καὶ ἰδοὺ τροχοὶ τέσσαρες ἱστήκεισαν ἐχόμενοι τῶν χερουβείν, τροχὸς εἷς ἐχόμενος χεροὺβ ἑνός, καὶ ὄψις τῶν τροχῶν ὡς ὄψις λίθου ἄνθρακος.

καὶ ἡ ὄψις αὐτῶν ὁμοίωμα ἳν τοῖς τέσσαρσιν, ὃν τρόπον ὅταν ἦ τροχὸς ἐν μέσῳ τροχοῦ·

ἐν τῷ πορεύεσθαι αὐτὰ εἰς τὰ τέσσερα μέρη αὐτῶν ἐπορεύοντο, οὐκ ἐπέστρεφον ἐν τῷ πορεύεσθαι αὐτά· ὅτι εἰς ὃν ἂν τόπον ἐπέβλεψεν ἡ ἀρχὴ ἡ μία ἐπορεύοντο, καὶ οὐκ ἐπέστρεφον ἐν τῷ σορεύεσθαι αὐτά.

καὶ οἱ νῶτοι αὐτῶν καὶ αἱ χεῖρες αὐτῶν καὶ αἱ πτέρυγες αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ τροχοὶ πλήρεις ὀφθαλμῶν κυκλόθεν τοῖς τέσσαρσιν τροχοῖς.

τοῖς δὲ τροχοῖς τούτοις ἐπεκλήθη Γελγὲλ ἀκούὄντος ⁴⁵ μου.

καὶ τὰ χερουβεὶν ἤσαν τοῦτο τὸ ζῷον ὃ ἴδου ἐπὶ ⁶ τοῦ ποταμοῦ τοῦ Κοβάρ.

καὶ ἐν τῷ πορεύεσθαι τὰ χερουβεὶν ἐπορεύοντο οἱ τροχοί, καὶ οὗτοι ἐχόμενοι αὐτῶν· καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐξαίρειν τὰ χερουβεὶν τὰς πτέρυγας αὐτῶν τοῦ μετεωρίζεσθαι ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς. οὐκ ἐπέστρεφον οἱ τροχοὶ αὐτῶν·

ἐν τῷ ἑστάναι αὐτὰ ἱστήκεισαν, ⁷ καὶ ἐν τῷ μετεωρίζεσθαι αὐτὰ ἐμετεωρίζοντο μετʼ αὐτῶν· διότι πνεῦμα ζωῆς ἐν αὐτοῖς ἦν.

καὶ ἐξῆλθεν δόξα Κυρίου ἀπὸ τοῦ οἴκου καὶ ἐπέβη ἐπὶ τὰ χερουβείν,

καὶ ἀνέλαβον τὰ χερουβεὶν τὰς πτέρυγας αὐτῶν καὶ ἐμετεωρίσθησαν ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ· ἐν τῷ ἐξελθεῖν αὐτὰ καὶ οἱ τροχοὶ ἐχόμενοι αὐτῶν· καὶ ἔστησαν ἐπὶ τὰ πρόθυρα τῆς πύλης οἴκου Κυρίου τῆς ἀπέναντι, καὶ δόξα θεοῦ Ἰσραὴλ ἦν ἐπʼ αὐτῶν ὑπεράνω.

τοῦτο τὸ ζῷόν ἐστιυ ὃ ἴδον ὑποκάτω θεοῦ Ἰσραὴλ ἐπὶ τοῦ ποταμοῦ τοῦ Χοβάρ, καὶ ἔγνων ὅτι χερουβείν ἐστιν·

τέσσερα πρόσαωπα τῷ ἑνί, καὶ ὀκτὼ πτέρυγες τῷ ἐνί, καὶ ὁμοίωμα χειρῶν ἀνθρώπου ὑποκάτωθεν τῶν πτερύγων αὐτῶν.

καὶ ὁμοίωσις τῶν προσώπων οὐτων, ταῦτα τὰ πρόσωπά ἐστιν ἃ ἴδον ὑποκάτω τῆς δόξης θεοῦ Ἰσραὴλ ἐπὶ τοῦ ποταμοῦ τοῦ Χοβάρ, καὶ αὐτὰ ἕκαστον κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν ἐπορεύοντο.

Ἰεζεκιήλ (Greek) (Septuaginta. The Old Testament in Greek According to the Septuagint. Volume 3: Hosea-4 Maccabees, Psalms of Solomon, Enoch, The Odes. Swete, Henry Barclay, editor. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1905)

Translations (1)

Ezekiel Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 10 focus

Then I looked, and see, in the expanse that was over the head of the cherubim there appeared above them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.

He spoke to the man clothed in linen, and said, Go in between the whirling [wheels], even under the cherub, and fill both your hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city. He went in as I watched.

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

The glory of Yahweh mounted 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 Yahweh's glory.

The sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.

It came to pass, when he commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim, that he went in, and stood beside a wheel.

The cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubim to the fire that was between the cherubim, and took [of it], and put it into the hands of him who was clothed in linen, who took it and went out.

There appeared in the cherubim the form of a man's hand under their wings.

I looked, and behold, four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside one cherub, and another wheel beside another cherub; and the appearance of the wheels was like a beryl stone.

As for their appearance, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel have been within a wheel.

When they went, they went in their four directions: they didn't turn as they went, but to the place where the head looked they followed it; they didn't turn as they went.

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.

As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, the whirling [wheels].

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

The cherubim mounted up: this is the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar.

When the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels also didn't turn from beside them.

When they stood, these stood; and when they mounted up, these mounted up with them: for the spirit of the living creature was in them.

The glory of Yahweh went forth from over the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim.

The cherubim lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight when they went forth, and the wheels beside them: and they stood at the door of the east gate of Yahweh's house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.

This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and I knew that they were cherubim.

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

As for the likeness of their faces, they were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves; they went every one straight forward.
