Zaharija 5
1 Podigoh opet oči i vidjeh: leti svitak knjige.
I looked again and saw a flying scroll.
2 Anđeo me upita: “Što vidiš?” Odgovorih: “Vidim svitak knjige gdje leti: dužina joj je dvadeset lakata, a širina deset.”
“What do you see?” asked the angel. “I see a flying scroll,” I replied. “It's thirty feet long and fifteen feet wide.”
3 On mi tad reče: “To je prokletstvo koje će zahvatiti svu zemlju; odsad, svaki koji krade bit će po njem izgnan odavde i svaki koji krivo priseže bit će po njem odavde protjeran.
He told me, “This is the curse that is going out to all the world. Anyone who steals will be purged from society, according to one side of the scroll. Anyone who swears lies under oath will be purged from society, according to the other side of the scroll.”
4 Ja ću ga izvesti - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama - da uđe u kuću lupežu i u kuću onome koji se krivo kune mojim imenom te da boravi usred njegove kuće i uništi je skupa s njenim drvljem i kamenjem.”
“I have sent the curse out and it will go into the house of the thief and into the house of the one who swears lies in my name, declares the Lord Almighty. The curse will remain in that house, and will destroy it, both the timbers and the stones.”
5 Anđeo koji je govorio sa mnom iziđe i reče mi: “Podigni oči i pogledaj što se to pojavljuje.”
Then the angel I had been talking to came over to me and said, “Look. What do you see moving away?”
6 Ja ga upitah: “Što je to?” On reče: “To se pojavljuje efa.” I nastavi: “To je opća pokvarenost na zemlji.”
“What is it?” I asked. “What you see moving away is a barrel full of the sins of everyone in the country,” he replied.
7 I gle, podiže se olovan poklopac i jedna žena sjedi usred efe.
Then the lead lid was lifted from the barrel and there was a woman sitting inside.
8 On reče: “To je zloća.” I gurnu je u efu i baci joj na otvor olovni poklopac.
“She represents wickedness,” he said, and pushed her back inside, forcing the lead lid shut.
9 Podigavši oči, vidjeh: dvije žene izlaze s vjetrom u krilima, a krila im bijahu kao krila rode; one podigoše efu između zemlje i neba.
I looked once more and saw two women flying towards me. Their wings looked like those of a stork. They picked up the barrel and flew away, high into the sky.
10 Upitah tad anđela koji je govorio sa mnom: “Kamo odnose efu?”
“Where are they taking it?” I asked the angel I was talking to.
11 On mi odgovori: “Da joj sagrade hram u zemlji šinearskoj i da joj pripreme postolje na koje će je postaviti.”
“They're taking it to the land of Babylon to build a house for it. When the house is ready, the barrel will be placed at its base.”
