The Latin Vulgate w/ Apocrypha VULA
New International Version NIV
1 et vidi et ecce in firmamento quod erat super caput cherubin quasi lapis sapphyrus quasi species similitudinis solii apparuit super ea
1
I looked, and I saw the likeness of a throne of lapis lazuli above the vault that was over the heads of the cherubim.
2 et dixit ad virum qui indutus erat lineis et ait ingredere in medio rotarum quae sunt subtus cherub et imple manum tuam prunis ignis quae sunt inter cherubin et effunde super civitatem ingressusque est in conspectu meo
2
The LORD said to the man clothed in linen, “Go in among the wheels beneath the cherubim. Fill your hands with burning coals from among the cherubim and scatter them over the city.” And as I watched, he went in.
3 cherubin autem stabant a dextris domus cum ingrederetur vir et nubes implevit atrium interius
3
Now the cherubim were standing on the south side of the temple when the man went in, and a cloud filled the inner court.
4 et elevata est gloria Domini desuper cherub ad limen domus et repleta est domus nube et atrium repletum est splendore gloriae Domini
4
Then the glory of the LORD rose from above the cherubim and moved to the threshold of the temple. The cloud filled the temple, and the court was full of the radiance of the glory of the LORD.
5 et sonitus alarum cherubin audiebatur usque ad atrium exterius quasi vox Dei omnipotentis loquentis
5
The sound of the wings of the cherubim could be heard as far away as the outer court, like the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.
6 cumque praecepisset viro qui indutus erat lineis dicens sume ignem de medio rotarum quae sunt inter cherubin ingressus ille stetit iuxta rotam
6
When the LORD commanded the man in linen, “Take fire from among the wheels, from among the cherubim,” the man went in and stood beside a wheel.
7 et extendit cherub manum de medio cherubin ad ignem qui erat inter cherubin et sumpsit et dedit in manus eius qui indutus erat lineis qui accipiens egressus est
7
Then one of the cherubim reached out his hand to the fire that was among them. He took up some of it and put it into the hands of the man in linen, who took it and went out.
8 et apparuit in cherubin similitudo manus hominis subtus pinnas eorum
8
(Under the wings of the cherubim could be seen what looked like human hands.)
9 et vidi et ecce quattuor rotae iuxta cherubin rota una iuxta cherub unum et rota alia iuxta cherub unum species autem erat rotarum quasi visio lapidis chrysoliti
9
I looked, and I saw beside the cherubim four wheels, one beside each of the cherubim; the wheels sparkled like topaz.
10 et aspectus earum similitudo una quattuor quasi sit rota in medio rotae
10
As for their appearance, the four of them looked alike; each was like a wheel intersecting a wheel.
11 cumque ambularent in quattuor partes gradiebantur non revertebantur ambulantes sed ad locum ad quem ire declinabat quae prima erat sequebantur et ceterae nec convertebantur
11
As they moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the cherubim faced; the wheels did not turn about as the cherubim went. The cherubim went in whatever direction the head faced, without turning as they went.
12 et omne corpus earum et colla et manus et pinnae et circuli plena erant oculis in circuitu quattuor rotarum
12
Their entire bodies, including their backs, their hands and their wings, were completely full of eyes, as were their four wheels.
13 et rotas istas vocavit volubiles audiente me
13
I heard the wheels being called “the whirling wheels.”
14 quattuor autem facies habebat unum facies una facies cherub et facies secunda facies hominis et in tertio facies leonis et in quarto facies aquilae
14
Each of the cherubim had four faces: One face was that of a cherub, the second the face of a human being, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
15 et elevata sunt cherubin ipsum est animal quod videram iuxta flumen Chobar
15
Then the cherubim rose upward. These were the living creatures I had seen by the Kebar River.
16 cumque ambularent cherubin ibant pariter et rotae iuxta ea et cum levarent cherubin alas suas ut exaltarentur de terra non residebant rotae sed et ipsae iuxta erant
16
When the cherubim moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the cherubim spread their wings to rise from the ground, the wheels did not leave their side.
17 stantibus illis stabant et cum elevatis elevabantur spiritus enim vitae erat in eis
17
When the cherubim stood still, they also stood still; and when the cherubim rose, they rose with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in them.
18 et egressa est gloria Domini a limine templi et stetit super cherubin
18
Then the glory of the LORD departed from over the threshold of the temple and stopped above the cherubim.
19 et elevantia cherubin alas suas exaltata sunt a terra coram me et illis egredientibus rotae quoque subsecutae sunt et stetit in introitu portae domus Domini orientalis et gloria Dei Israhel erat super ea
19
While I watched, the cherubim spread their wings and rose from the ground, and as they went, the wheels went with them. They stopped at the entrance of the east gate of the LORD’s house, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.
20 ipsum est animal quod vidi subter Deum Israhel iuxta fluvium Chobar et intellexi quia cherubin essent
20
These were the living creatures I had seen beneath the God of Israel by the Kebar River, and I realized that they were cherubim.
21 quattuor per quattuor vultus uni et quattuor alae uni et similitudo manus hominis sub alis eorum
21
Each had four faces and four wings, and under their wings was what looked like human hands.
22 et similitudo vultuum eorum ipsi vultus quos videram iuxta fluvium Chobar et intuitus eorum et impetus singulorum ante faciem suam ingredi
22
Their faces had the same appearance as those I had seen by the Kebar River. Each one went straight ahead.
