< 撒迦利亞書 5 >
1 [第六個神視:飛卷]我又舉目觀看,望見有一飛卷。
Then again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and, behold, a flying roll.
2 他問我說:「你看見了什麼﹖」我說:「我見一本飛卷,長二十肘,寬十肘。」
And he said to me, What do thou see? And I answered, I see a flying roll. The length of it is twenty cubits, and the breadth of it ten cubits.
3 他對我說:「這是向全地面散發的詛咒:凡偷竊的,必要按這卷所記載的被除掉;凡起假誓的,也要按這卷所記載火被除掉。
Then he said to me, This is the curse that goes forth over the face of the whole land. For everyone who steals shall be cut off on the one side according to it, and everyone who swears shall be cut off on the other side according to it.
4 我要發出這詛咒──萬軍上主的斷語──它必進入盜賊的家和指著我起誓的家,住在那人家中,將這家,連它的木枓和石頭一併毀滅。」[第七個神視:坐在厄法中的女人]
I will cause it to go forth, says Jehovah of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him who swears falsely by my name. And it shall abide in the midst of his house, and shall consume it, with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.
5 那與我談話的使者又出來對我說:「你要舉目觀看這出來的是什麼﹖」
Then the agent who talked with me went forth, and said to me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what this is that goes forth.
6 我反問他說:「那是什麼﹖」他回答說:「這出來的是『厄法』。」他又說:「這表示人在全地上的罪惡。」
And I said, What is it? And he said, This is the ephah that goes forth. He said moreover, This is their appearance in all the land
7 看,鉛蓋揭開了,在『厄法』當中坐中著一個女人。
(and, behold, a talent of lead was lifted up), and this is a woman sitting in the midst of the ephah.
8 他於是說:「這是罪惡。」遂把她再裝在『厄法』的口上。
And he said, This is Wickedness. And he cast her down into the midst of the ephah, and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth of it.
9 我又舉目觀看,見有兩個女人出現,有風吹動她們的翅膀──她們的翅膀好像鶴鳥的翅膀──她們的將『厄法』提到天地之間。
Then I lifted up my eyes, and looked. And, behold, there came forth two women, and the wind was in their wings. Now they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ephah between earth and heaven.
10 我遂對那與我談話的使者說:「她們的將『厄法』帶到哪裏去﹖」
Then I said to the agent who talked with me, Where do these carry the ephah?
11 他回答我說:「要往史納爾地去,建造一座房屋;房屋一落成,就把它安置在那裏。」
And he said to me, To build her a house in the land of Shinar. And when it is prepared, she shall be set there in her own place.
