Zechariah 5

1 Then again I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold a flying roll.

[第六個神視：飛卷]我又舉目觀看，望見有一飛卷。

2 And he said unto me: 'What seest thou?' And I answered: 'I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.'

他問我說：「你看見了什麼﹖」我說：「我見一本飛卷，長二十肘，寬十肘。」

3 Then said he unto me: 'This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole land; for every one that stealeth shall be swept away on the one side like it; and every one that sweareth shall be swept away on the other side like it.

他對我說：「這是向全地面散發的詛咒：凡偷竊的，必要按這卷所記載的被除掉；凡起假誓的，也要按這卷所記載火被除掉。

4 I cause it to go forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by My name; and it shall abide in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.'

我要發出這詛咒──萬軍上主的斷語──它必進入盜賊的家和指著我起誓的家，住在那人家中，將這家，連它的木枓和石頭一併毀滅。」[第七個神視：坐在厄法中的女人]

5 Then the angel that spoke with me went forth, and said unto me: 'Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth.'

那與我談話的使者又出來對我說：「你要舉目觀看這出來的是什麼﹖」

6 And I said: 'What is it?' And he said: 'This is the measure that goeth forth.' He said moreover: 'This is their eye in all the land —

我反問他說：「那是什麼﹖」他回答說：「這出來的是『厄法』。」他又說：「這表示人在全地上的罪惡。」

7 and, behold, there was lifted up a round piece of lead — and this is a woman sitting in the midst of the measure.'

看，鉛蓋揭開了，在『厄法』當中坐中著一個女人。

8 And he said: 'This is Wickedness.' And he cast her down into the midst of the measure, and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.

他於是說：「這是罪惡。」遂把她再裝在『厄法』的口上。

9 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there came forth two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork; and they lifted up the measure between the earth and the heaven.

我又舉目觀看，見有兩個女人出現，有風吹動她們的翅膀──她們的翅膀好像鶴鳥的翅膀──她們的將『厄法』提到天地之間。

10 Then said I to the angel that spoke with me: 'Whither do these bear the measure?'

我遂對那與我談話的使者說：「她們的將『厄法』帶到哪裏去﹖」

11 And he said unto me: 'To build her a house in the land of Shinar; and when it is prepared, she shall be set there in her own place.

他回答我說：「要往史納爾地去，建造一座房屋；房屋一落成，就把它安置在那裏。」
