< Zechariah 5 >

1 And I turned and lifted up my eyes: and I saw, and behold a volume flying.
我又举目观看,见有一飞行的书卷。
2 And he said to me: What seest thou? And I said: I see a volume flying: the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.
他问我说:“你看见什么?”我回答说:“我看见一飞行的书卷,长二十肘,宽十肘。”
3 And he said to me: This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the earth: for every thief shall be judged as is there written: and every one that sweareth in like manner shall be judged by it.
他对我说:“这是发出行在遍地上的咒诅。凡偷窃的必按卷上这面的话除灭;凡起假誓的必按卷上那面的话除灭。
4 I will bring it forth, saith the Lord of hosts: and it shall come to the house of the thief, and to the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it, with the timber thereof, and the stones thereof.
万军之耶和华说:我必使这书卷出去,进入偷窃人的家和指我名起假誓人的家,必常在他家里,连房屋带木石都毁灭了。”
5 And the angel went forth that spoke in me, and he said to me: Lift up thy eyes, and see what this is, that goeth forth.
与我说话的天使出来,对我说:“你要举目观看,见所出来的是什么?”
6 And I said: What is it? And he said: This is a vessel going forth. And he said: This is their eye in all the earth.
我说:“这是什么呢?”他说:“这出来的是量器。”他又说:“这是恶人在遍地的形状。”
7 And behold a talent of lead was carried, and behold a woman sitting in the midst of the vessel.
(我见有一片圆铅被举起来。)这坐在量器中的是个妇人。
8 And he said: This is wickedness. And he cast her into the midst of the vessel, and cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.
天使说:“这是罪恶。”他就把妇人扔在量器中,将那片圆铅扔在量器的口上。
9 And I lifted up my eyes and looked: and behold there came out two women, and wind was in their wings, and they had wings like the wings of a kite: and they lifted up the vessel between the earth and the heaven.
我又举目观看,见有两个妇人出来,在她们翅膀中有风,飞得甚快,翅膀如同鹳鸟的翅膀。她们将量器抬起来,悬在天地中间。
10 And I said to the angel that spoke in me: Whither do these carry the vessel?
我问与我说话的天使说:“她们要将量器抬到哪里去呢?”
11 And he said to me: That a house may be built for it in the land of Sennaar, and that it may be established, and set there upon its own basis.
他对我说:“要往示拿地去,为它盖造房屋;等房屋齐备,就把它安置在自己的地方。”
