Zechariah 5

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

Potem sem se obrnil, povzdignil svoje oči, pogledal in zagledal leteči zvitek.

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

Rekel mi je: »Kaj vidiš?« Odgovoril sem: »Vidim leteči zvitek. Njegova dolžina je dvajset komolcev in njegova širina deset komolcev.«

3 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.

Potem mi je rekel: »To je prekletstvo, ki gre naprej preko obličja celotne zemlje, kajti vsak, kdor krade, bo pokončan kakor na tej strani, glede na to; in vsak, kdor prisega, bo pokončan kakor na tisti strani, glede na to.«

4 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.”

»Privedel ga bom naprej, « govori Gospod nad bojevniki »in ta bo vstopil v hišo tatu in v hišo tistega, ki krivo prisega pri mojem imenu. In ta bo ostal v sredi njegove hiše in použil jo bo z njenim lesom in njenimi kamni.«

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

Potem je angel, ki je govoril z menoj, odšel naprej in mi rekel: »Dvigni sedaj svoje oči in poglej kaj je to, kar gre naprej.«

6 “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.”

Rekel sem: »Kaj je to?« Rekel je: »To je škaf, ki gre naprej.« Poleg tega je rekel: »To je njihov videz po vsej zemlji.«

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

Glej, tam je bil dvignjen talent iz svinca in to je ženska, ki sedi na sredi škafa.

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

Rekel je: »To je zlobnost.« In vrgel jo je na sredo škafa in svinčeno utež je vrgel na njegovo odprtino.

9 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.

Potem sem povzdignil svoje oči in pogledal in glej, tam sta prišli ven dve ženski in veter je bil v njunih perutih, kajti peruti sta imeli podobni perutim štorklje in škaf sta dvignili med zemljo in nebo.

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

Potem sem rekel angelu, ki je govoril z menoj: »Kam ti [dve] nosita škaf?«

11 “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.”

Rekel mi je: »Da mu zgradijo hišo v deželi Šinár. In ta bo utrjena in tam ga postavita na njegov lastni temelj.«
