< Zechariah 5 >
1 Then again I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, a flying scroll.
Et conversus sum, et levavi oculos meos: et vidi, et ecce volumen volans.
2 He said to me, “What do you see?” I answered, “I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty cubits, and its width ten cubits.”
Et dixit ad me: Quid tu vides? Et dixi: Ego video volumen volans: longitudo eius viginti cubitorum, et latitudo eius decem cubitorum.
3 Then he said to me, “This is the curse that goes out over the surface of the whole land, for everyone who steals shall be cut off according to it on the one side; and everyone who swears falsely shall be cut off according to it on the other side.
Et dixit ad me: Haec est maledictio, quae egreditur super faciem omnis terrae: quia omnis fur, sicut ibi scriptum est, iudicabitur: et omnis iurans, ex hoc similiter iudicabitur.
4 I will cause it to go out,” says the LORD of Armies, “and it will enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him who swears falsely by my name; and it will remain in the middle of his house, and will destroy it with its timber and its stones.”
Educam illud, dicit Dominus exercituum: et veniet ad domum furis, et ad domum iurantis in nomine meo mendaciter: et commorabitur in medio domus eius, et consumet eam, et ligna eius, et lapides eius.
5 Then the angel who talked with me came forward and said to me, “Lift up now your eyes and see what this is that is appearing.”
Et egressus est angelus, qui loquebatur in me: et dixit ad me: Leva oculos tuos, et vide quid est hoc, quod egreditur.
6 I said, “What is it?” He said, “This is the ephah basket that is appearing.” He said moreover, “This is their appearance in all the land—
Et dixi: Quidnam est? Et ait: Haec est amphora egrediens. Et dixit: Haec est oculus eorum in universa terra.
7 and behold, a lead cover weighing one talent was lifted up—and there was a woman sitting in the middle of the ephah basket.”
Et ecce talentum plumbi portabatur, et ecce mulier una sedens in medio amphorae.
8 He said, “This is Wickedness;” and he threw her down into the middle of the ephah basket; and he threw the lead weight on its mouth.
Et dixit: Haec est impietas. Et proiecit eam in medio amphorae, et misit massam plumbeam in os eius.
9 Then I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, there were two women; and the wind was in their wings. Now they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ephah basket between earth and the sky.
Et levavi oculos meos, et vidi: et ecce duae mulieres egredientes, et spiritus in alis earum, et habebant alas quasi alas milvi: et levaverunt amphoram inter terram, et caelum.
10 Then I said to the angel who talked with me, “Where are these carrying the ephah basket?”
Et dixi ad angelum, qui loquebatur in me: Quo istae deferunt amphoram?
11 He said to me, “To build her a house in the land of Shinar. When it is prepared, she will be set there in her own place.”
Et dixit ad me: Ut aedificetur ei domus in terra Sennaar, et stabiliatur, et ponatur ibi super basem suam.
