撒迦利亚书 5

1 我又举目观看，见有一飞行的书卷。

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

2 他问我说：“你看见什么？”我回答说：“我看见一飞行的书卷，长二十肘，宽十肘。”

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

3 他对我说：“这是发出行在遍地上的咒诅。凡偷窃的必按卷上这面的话除灭；凡起假誓的必按卷上那面的话除灭。

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 万军之耶和华说：我必使这书卷出去，进入偷窃人的家和指我名起假誓人的家，必常在他家里，连房屋带木石都毁灭了。”

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 与我说话的天使出来，对我说：“你要举目观看，见所出来的是什么？”

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

6 我说：“这是什么呢？”他说：“这出来的是量器。”他又说：“这是恶人在遍地的形状。”

“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 （我见有一片圆铅被举起来。）这坐在量器中的是个妇人。

And behold, the cover of lead was raised, and there was a woman sitting inside the basket.

8 天使说：“这是罪恶。”他就把妇人扔在量器中，将那片圆铅扔在量器的口上。

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

9 我又举目观看，见有两个妇人出来，在她们翅膀中有风，飞得甚快，翅膀如同鹳鸟的翅膀。她们将量器抬起来，悬在天地中间。

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 我问与我说话的天使说：“她们要将量器抬到哪里去呢？”

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

11 他对我说：“要往示拿地去，为它盖造房屋；等房屋齐备，就把它安置在自己的地方。”

“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.”
