< 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 I turned, and lifted up my eyes, and looked, 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 see you? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof 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 said he to me, This is the curse that goes forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that steals shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that swears shall be cut off as on that 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 bring it forth, says the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that swears falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the middle 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 angel that talked with me went forth, and said to me, Lift up now your eyes, and see what is this 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 an ephah that goes forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance through all the earth.
7 看,鉛蓋揭開了,在『厄法』當中坐中著一個女人。
And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sits in the middle 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 it into the middle of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead on the mouth thereof.
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 lifted I up my eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the 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 said I to the angel that talked with me, Where do these bear 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 it an house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there on her own base.
