< Zechariah 5 >

1 Then I turned me, and lifted vp mine eyes and looked, and beholde, a flying booke.
我又舉目觀看,見有一飛行的書卷。
2 And he said vnto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying booke: the length thereof is twentie cubites, and the breadth thereof tenne cubites.
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。」
3 Then said he vnto me, This is the curse that goeth foorth ouer the whole earth: for euery one that stealeth, shalbe cut off aswell on this side, as on that: and euery one that sweareth, shall be cut off aswell on this side, as on that.
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。
4 I will bring it forth, saith the Lord of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thiefe, and into the house of him, that falsely sweareth by my Name: and it shall remaine in the middes of his house, and shall consume it, with the timber thereof, and stones thereof.
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。」
5 Then the Angel that talked with me, went foorth, and said vnto me, Lift vp now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth foorth.
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?」
6 And I saide, What is it? And hee sayde, This is an Ephah that goeth foorth. Hee saide moreouer, This is the sight of them through all the earth.
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。」
7 And beholde, there was lift vp a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the middes of the Ephah.
(我見有一片圓鉛被舉起來。)這坐在量器中的是個婦人。
8 And he said, This is wickednes, and he cast it into the middes of the Ephah, and hee cast the weight of lead vpon the mouth thereof.
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。
9 Then lift I vp mine eyes, and looked: and beholde, there came out two women, and the winde was in their wings (for they had wings like the wings of a storke) and they lift vp the Ephah betweene the earth and the heauen.
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。
10 Then saide I to the Angel that talked with me, Whither doe these beare the Ephah?
我問與我說話的天使說:「她們要將量器抬到哪裏去呢?」
11 And hee saide vnto mee, To builde it an house in the lande of Shinar, and it shall be established and set there vpon her owne place.
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。」
