撒迦利亞書 5

1 我又舉目觀看，見有一飛行的書卷。

Then again lifting up my eyes I saw a roll in flight through the air.

2 他問我說：「你看見甚麼？」我回答說：「我看見一飛行的書卷，長二十肘，寬十肘。」

And he said to me, What do you see? And I said, A roll going through the air; it is twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide.

3 他對我說：「這是發出行在遍地上的咒詛。凡偷竊的必按卷上這面的話除滅；凡起假誓的必按卷上那面的話除滅。

Then he said to me, This is the curse which goes out over the face of all the land: for long enough has every thief gone without punishment, and long enough has every taker of false oaths gone without punishment.

4 萬軍之耶和華說：我必使這書卷出去，進入偷竊人的家和指我名起假誓人的家，必常在他家裏，連房屋帶木石都毀滅了。」

And I will send it out, says the Lord of armies, and it will go into the house of the thief and into the house of him who takes a false oath by my name: and it will be in his house, causing its complete destruction, with its woodwork and its stones.

5 與我說話的天使出來，對我說：「你要舉目觀看，見所出來的是甚麼？」

And the angel who was talking to me went out and said to me, Let your eyes be lifted up now, and see the ephah which is going out.

6 我說：「這是甚麼呢？」他說：「這出來的是量器。」他又說：「這是惡人在遍地的形狀。」

And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah which is going out. And he said further, This is their evil-doing in all the land.

7 （我見有一片圓鉛被舉起來。）這坐在量器中的是個婦人。

And I saw a round cover of lead lifted up; and a woman was seated in the middle of the ephah.

8 天使說：「這是罪惡。」他就把婦人扔在量器中，將那片圓鉛扔在量器的口上。

And he said, This is Sin; and pushing her down into the ephah, he put the weight of lead on the mouth of it.

9 我又舉目觀看，見有兩個婦人出來，在她們翅膀中有風，飛得甚快，翅膀如同鸛鳥的翅膀。她們將量器抬起來，懸在天地中間。

And lifting up my eyes I saw two women coming out, and the wind was in their wings; and they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they took the ephah, lifting it up between earth and heaven.

10 我問與我說話的天使說：「她們要將量器抬到哪裏去呢？」

And I said to the angel who was talking to me, Where are they taking the ephah?

11 他對我說：「要往示拿地去，為它蓋造房屋；等房屋齊備，就把它安置在自己的地方。」

And he said to me, To make a house for her in the land of Shinar: and they will make a place ready, and put her there in the place which is hers.
