撒迦利亞書 5

1 我又舉目觀看，見有一飛行的書卷。

And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked and behold a flying sickle.

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 see you? And I said, I see a flying sickle, of the length of twenty cubits, and of the breadth of ten cubits.

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。

And he said to me, This is the curse that goes forth over the face of the whole earth: for every thief shall be punished with death on this side, and every false swearer shall be punished on that side.

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 bring it forth, says the Lord Almighty, 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 rest in the midst of his house, and shall consume it, and the timber of it, and the stones of it.

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 that talked with me went forth, and said to me, Lift up your eyes, and see this that goes forth.

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 the measure that goes forth. And he said, This is their iniquity in all the earth.

7 （我見有一片圓鉛被舉起來。）這坐在量器中的是個婦人。

And behold a talent of lead lifted up: and behold a woman sat in the midst of the measure.

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 iniquity. And he cast it into the midst of the measure, and cast 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 I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, two women coming forth, and the wind was in their wings; and they had stork's wings: and they lifted up the measure between the earth and the sky.

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 that spoke with me, Whither do these carry away the measure?

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 build it a house in the land of Babylon, and to prepare [a place for it]; and they shall set it there on its own base.
