Ulemerero wa Atate wathu Uchoka mʼKachisi
Akerubi ndi mawilo awo odzaza ndi maso akunyamuka, ndipo ulemerero umene unadzaza kachisi ukutuluka, choyamba kupita kuchiundo, kenako kuchipata cha kum'mawa. Munthu wovala bafuta akumwaza makala amoto pa mzindawo. Ezekieli akuyang'ana Atate wathu akuchoka m'nyumba yake yomwe.
10 1Ndipo ndinayangʼana: pamwamba pa thambo lomwe linali pa mitu ya akerubi panaoneka chinthu ngati mwala wa safiro, wooneka ngati mpando wachifumu.
2Ndipo Atate wathu anati kwa munthu wovala nsalu zabafuta, “Lowa pakati pa mikombero yozungulira yomwe ili pansi pa akerubi. Dzaza manja ako ndi makala oyaka moto a pakati pa akerubi, nuwaze pa mzindawo.” Ndipo iye analowa ine ndikuona.
3Akerubi anali ataimirira kummwera kwa kachisi pamene munthuyo analowa, ndipo mtambo unadzaza bwalo lamkati. 4Ndipo ulemerero wa Atate wathu unanyamuka kuchoka pa kerubi kupita pa khomo la kachisi, ndipo kachisi anadzaza ndi mtambo, ndipo bwalo linadzaza ndi kuwala kwa ulemerero wa Atate wathu. 5Phokoso la mapiko a akerubi linamveka mpaka ku bwalo lakunja, ngati mau a Wamphamvuzonse pamene akuyankhula.
6Pamene analamula munthu wovala nsalu zabafuta, nati, “Tenga moto pakati pa mikombero yozungulira, pakati pa akerubi,” iye analowa naima pambali pa mkombero.
7Ndipo kerubi anatambasula dzanja lake ku moto umene unali pakati pa akerubi, natenga wina, nauyika mʼmanja mwa munthu wovala nsalu zabafuta, amene anautenga natuluka. 8Akerubi anaoneka ali ndi manja ngati a munthu pansi pa mapiko awo.
9Ndinayangʼana, ndipo mikombero inayi inali pambali pa akerubi, mkombero umodzi pambali pa kerubi aliyense, nowala ngati mwala wa berilo. 10Mikombero yonse inayi inaoneka yofanana, ngati mkombero uli mkati mwa mkombero wina. 11Pamene inkayenda, inkapita ku mbali zake zinayi zilizonse popanda kutembenuka; kulikonse kumene mkombero wakutsogolo unkayangʼana, inzake inkatsatira popanda kutembenuka. 12Thupi lawo lonse—misana, manja, mapiko, ndi mikombero—zinali zodzaza ndi maso mbali zonse, mikombero yawo yonse inayi. 13Za mikombero, inayitanidwa ine ndikumva, “zozungulira.” 14Chilichonse chinali ndi nkhope zinayi: yoyamba inali nkhope ya kerubi, yachiwiri ya munthu, yachitatu ya mkango, yachinayi ya chiwombankhanga.
15Akerubi ananyamuka. Izi zinali zamoyo zomwe ndinaziona pa mtsinje wa Kebara. 16Pamene akerubi ankayenda, mikombero inkayendanso pambali pawo; pamene ankakweza mapiko awo kuti anyamuke pansi, mikombero sinkachoka pambali pawo. 17Pamene ankaima, mikombero inkaimanso; pamene ankanyamuka, mikombero inkanyamuka nawo, pakuti mzimu wa zamoyo unali mwa iyo.
18Ndipo ulemerero wa Atate wathu unachoka pamwamba pa khomo la nyumba, naima pamwamba pa akerubi. 19Ine ndikuona, akerubi anakweza mapiko awo, nanyamuka pansi, natuluka pamodzi ndi mikombero pambali pawo. Anaima pa khomo la chipata chakumʼmawa cha nyumba ya Atate wathu, ndipo ulemerero wa Atate wa Israeli unali pamwamba pawo.
20Izi zinali zamoyo zomwe ndinaziona pansi pa Atate wa Israeli pa mtsinje wa Kebara, ndipo ndinadziwa kuti anali akerubi. 21Chilichonse chinali ndi nkhope zinayi, mapiko anayi, ndipo pansi pa mapiko awo panali zinthu zooneka ngati manja a munthu. 22Nkhope zawo zinali ngati zomwe ndinaziona pa mtsinje wa Kebara. Chilichonse chinkapita kutsogolo kwake.
