Ezequiel 10

La gloria del Señor abandona el templo
10 Repentinamente un trono hecho de hermosos zafiros azules apareció en el cielo encima de las cabezas de los seres alados, también llamados querubines.
2 Entonces el Señor habló al hombre vestido de lino y le dijo: «Ve entre las ruedas que giran debajo de los querubines y toma un puñado de brasas encendidas y espárcelas sobre la ciudad». Él lo hizo así, mientras yo observaba.
3 Los querubines estaban parados al sur del templo cuando el hombre entró. Y una nube esplendorosa llenó el atrio interior.
4 Luego la magnífica presencia del Señor se alzó desde los querubines, donde estaba asentada, y se trasladó a la puerta del templo. El templo estaba lleno de la magnífica presencia, que se veía como una nube, y el atrio del templo se llenó también del esplendor de la magnífica presencia del Señor. 5 Y el sonido de las alas de los querubines era como la voz del Dios Todopoderoso cuando habla, y podía oírse con claridad hasta en el atrio exterior.
6 Cuando el Señor le mandó al hombre vestido de lino que fuera entre los querubines y tomara algunas brasas encendidas de entre las ruedas, el hombre entró y se paró al lado de una de estas ruedas. 7-8 Entonces uno de los querubines extendió su mano (pues cada querubín tenía, debajo de sus alas, lo que se parecían a manos humanas) y tomó algunas brasas encendidas de las llamas de entre las ruedas y las puso en las manos del hombre vestido de lino, quien las tomó y salió.
9-13 Cada uno de los cuatro querubines tenía una rueda junto a él, Las Ruedas que Giran, como las oí llamar, pues cada una tenía una segunda rueda cruzada adentro, resplandeciente como el crisolito, con un color verde amarillo. Debido a la construcción de estas ruedas, los querubines podían ir hacia adelante en cada una de las cuatro direcciones; no se volvían atrás cuando cambiaban de dirección puesto que podían desplazarse a cualquiera de las cuatro direcciones a las que sus caras miraban. Cada una de las cuatro ruedas estaba cubierta de ojos, ¡incluyendo las llantas y los rayos! 14 Cada uno de los cuatro querubines tenía caras diferentes: la primera era la de un buey; la segunda, la de un hombre; la tercera, la de un león; y la cuarta, la de un águila.
15-16 Estos eran los mismos seres que yo había visto al lado del río Quebar, y cuando se alzaban en el aire las ruedas subían con ellos, y permanecían junto a ellos al volar. 17 Cuando los querubines se paraban, también lo hacían las ruedas, pues el espíritu de los querubines estaba en las ruedas.
18 Luego la presencia magnífica del Señor se elevó de la puerta principal del templo y se puso encima de los querubines. 19 Y al estar yo observando, los querubines volaron con sus ruedas junto a ellos a la puerta oriental del templo. Y la presencia magnífica del Dios de Israel estaba sobre ellos.
20 Estos eran los seres vivientes que yo había visto debajo del Dios de Israel al lado del río Quebar. Yo sabía que eran los mismos, 21 pues cada uno tenía cuatro caras y cuatro alas, y con lo que parecían manos humanas debajo de sus alas. 22 Sus caras también eran idénticas a las que yo había visto al lado del río, y viajaban desplazándose hacia adelante, tal como lo hacían los otros.
Ezekiel 10
New King James Version
The Glory Departs from the Temple
10 And I looked, and there in the (A)firmament[a] that was above the head of the cherubim, there appeared something like a sapphire stone, having the appearance of the likeness of a throne. 2 (B)Then He spoke to the man clothed with linen, and said, “Go in among the wheels, under the cherub, fill your hands with (C)coals of fire from among the cherubim, and (D)scatter them over the city.” And he went in as I watched.
3 Now the cherubim were standing on the [b]south side of the [c]temple when the man went in, and the (E)cloud filled the inner court. 4 (F)Then the glory of the Lord went up from the cherub, and paused over the threshold of the [d]temple; and (G)the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the Lord’s (H)glory. 5 And the (I)sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even in the outer court, like (J)the voice of Almighty God when He speaks.
6 Then it happened, when He commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, “Take fire from among the wheels, from among the cherubim,” that he went in and stood beside the wheels. 7 And the cherub stretched out his hand from among the cherubim to the fire that was among the cherubim, and took some of it and put it into the hands of the man clothed with linen, who took it and went out. 8 (K)The cherubim appeared to have the form of a man’s hand under their wings.
9 (L)And when I looked, there were four wheels by the cherubim, one wheel by one cherub and another wheel by each other cherub; the wheels appeared to have the color of a (M)beryl stone. 10 As for their appearance, all four looked alike—as it were, a wheel in the middle of a wheel. 11 (N)When they went, they went toward any of their four directions; they did not turn aside when they went, but followed in the direction the head was facing. They did not turn aside when they went. 12 And their whole body, with their back, their hands, their wings, and the wheels that the four had, were (O)full of eyes all around. 13 As for the wheels, they were called in my [e]hearing, “Wheel.”
14 (P)Each one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, the second face the face of a man, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle. 15 And the cherubim were lifted up. This was (Q)the living creature I saw by the River Chebar. 16 (R)When the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also did not turn from beside them. 17 (S)When [f]the cherubim stood still, the wheels stood still, and when [g]one was lifted up, [h]the other lifted itself up, for the spirit of the living creature was in them.
18 Then (T)the glory of the Lord (U)departed from the threshold of the [i]temple and stood over the cherubim. 19 And (V)the cherubim lifted their wings and mounted up from the earth in my sight. When they went out, the wheels were beside them; and they stood at the door of the (W)east gate of the Lord’s house, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.
20 (X)This is the living creature I saw under the God of Israel (Y)by the River Chebar, and I knew they were cherubim. 21 (Z)Each one had four faces and each one four wings, and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings. 22 And (AA)the likeness of their faces was the same as the faces which I had seen by the River Chebar, their appearance and their persons. (AB)They each went straight forward.

The Glory of the Lord Leaves the Temple
10 Then I looked, and behold, (A)on the expanse that was over the heads of the cherubim there appeared above them something (B)like a sapphire,[a] in appearance like a throne. 2 And he said to (C)the man clothed in linen, “Go in among (D)the whirling wheels underneath the cherubim. Fill your hands with (E)burning coals from between the cherubim, and (F)scatter them over the city.”
And he went in (G)before my eyes. 3 Now the cherubim were standing (H)on the south side of the house, when the man went in, and (I)a cloud filled (J)the inner court. 4 And (K)the glory of the Lord (L)went up from the cherub to the threshold of the house, and the house (M)was filled with the cloud, and the court was filled with (N)the brightness of the glory of the Lord. 5 And (O)the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard as far as the outer court, (P)like the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.
6 And when he commanded (Q)the man clothed in linen, (R)“Take fire from between (S)the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim,” he went in and stood beside a wheel. 7 And a cherub stretched out his hand from between the cherubim to the fire that was between the cherubim, and took some of it and put it into the hands of the man clothed in linen, who took it and went out. 8 The cherubim appeared to have (T)the form of a human hand under their wings.
9 (U)And I looked, and behold, there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one beside each cherub, and (V)the appearance of the wheels was (W)like sparkling (X)beryl. 10 And as for their appearance, the four had the same likeness, as if a wheel were within a wheel. 11 (Y)When they went, they went in any of their four directions[b] (Z)without turning as they went, (AA)but in whatever direction the front wheel[c] faced, the others followed without turning as they went. 12 (AB)And their whole body, their rims, and their spokes, their wings,[d] and the wheels were full of eyes all around—the wheels that the four of them had. 13 As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing (AC)“the whirling wheels.” 14 (AD)And every one had four faces: (AE)the first face was the face of the cherub, and the second face was (AF)a human face, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
15 (AG)And the cherubim mounted up. These were (AH)the living creatures that I saw by (AI)the Chebar canal. 16 (AJ)And when the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them. And (AK)when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels did not turn from beside them. 17 (AL)When they stood still, these stood still, and when they mounted up, these mounted up with them, for the spirit of the living creatures[e] was in them.
18 (AM)Then (AN)the glory of the Lord went out from the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim. 19 (AO)And the cherubim lifted up their wings and mounted up from the earth (AP)before my eyes as they went out, with the wheels beside them. And they stood at the entrance of the (AQ)east gate of the house of the Lord, and (AR)the glory of the God of Israel was over them.
20 (AS)These were the living creatures that I saw (AT)underneath the God of Israel by (AU)the Chebar canal; and I knew that they were cherubim. 21 (AV)Each had four faces, and each four wings, and underneath their wings (AW)the likeness of human hands. 22 (AX)And as for the likeness of their faces, they were the same faces whose appearance I had seen by the Chebar canal. (AY)Each one of them went straight forward.
