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。

Again I lifted up my eyes and saw before me a flying scroll.

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。」

“What do you see?” asked the angel. “I see a flying scroll,” I replied, “twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide.”

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 told me, “This is the curse that is going out over the face of all the land, for according to one side of the scroll, every thief will be removed; and according to the other side, every perjurer will be removed.

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 send it out, declares the LORD of Hosts, and it will enter the house of the thief and the house of him who swears falsely by My name. It will remain inside his house and destroy it, down to its timbers and stones.”

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 angel who was speaking with me came forward and told me, “Now lift up your eyes and see what is approaching.”

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。」

“What is it?” I asked. And he replied, “A measuring basket is going forth.” Then he continued, “This is their iniquity 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, the cover of lead was raised, and there was a woman sitting inside the basket.

8 他於是說：「這是罪惡。」遂把她再裝在『厄法』的口上。

“This is Wickedness,” he said. And he shoved her down into the basket, pushing down the lead cover over its opening.

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 saw two women approaching, with the wind in their wings. Their wings were like those of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between heaven and earth.

10 我遂對那與我談話的使者說：「她們的將『厄法』帶到哪裏去﹖」

“Where are they taking the basket?” I asked the angel who was speaking with me.

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。」

“To build a house for it in the land of Shinar,” he told me. “And when it is ready, the basket will be set there on its pedestal.”
