基路伯出去的时候，就展开翅膀，在我眼前离地上升。轮也在他们的旁边，都停在耶和华殿的东门口。在他们以上有以色列神的荣耀。
And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also were beside them, and every one stood at the door of the east gate of the LORD's house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
这是我在迦巴鲁河边所见，以色列神荣耀以下的活物，我就知道他们是基路伯。
This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they were the cherubims.
当那时，我但以理悲伤了三个七日。
In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.
美味我没有吃，酒肉没有入我的口，也没有用油抹我的身，直到满了三个七日。
I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.
正月二十四日，我在希底结大河边，
And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel;
举目观看，见有一人身穿细麻衣，腰束乌法精金带。
Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz:
他身体如水苍玉，面貌如闪电，眼目如火把，手和脚如光明的铜，说话的声音如大众的声音。
His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
我却听见他说话的声音，一听见就面伏在地沉睡了。
Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground.
忽然，有一手按在我身上，使我用膝和手掌支持微起。
And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.
他对我说，大蒙眷爱的但以理阿，要明白我与你所说的话，只管站起来，因为我现在奉差遣来到你这里。他对我说这话，我便战战兢兢地立起来。
And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.
