Zechariah 5

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

Podigoh opet oči i vidjeh: leti svitak knjige.

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.'

Anđeo me upita: “Što vidiš?” Odgovorih: “Vidim svitak knjige gdje leti: dužina joj je dvadeset lakata, a širina deset.”

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.

On mi tad reče: “To je prokletstvo koje će zahvatiti svu zemlju; odsad, svaki koji krade bit će po njem izgnan odavde i svaki koji krivo priseže bit će po njem odavde protjeran.

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.'

Ja ću ga izvesti - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama - da uđe u kuću lupežu i u kuću onome koji se krivo kune mojim imenom te da boravi usred njegove kuće i uništi je skupa s njenim drvljem i kamenjem.”

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.'

Anđeo koji je govorio sa mnom iziđe i reče mi: “Podigni oči i pogledaj što se to pojavljuje.”

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 —

Ja ga upitah: “Što je to?” On reče: “To se pojavljuje efa.” I nastavi: “To je opća pokvarenost na zemlji.”

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

I gle, podiže se olovan poklopac i jedna žena sjedi usred efe.

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.

On reče: “To je zloća.” I gurnu je u efu i baci joj na otvor olovni poklopac.

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.

Podigavši oči, vidjeh: dvije žene izlaze s vjetrom u krilima, a krila im bijahu kao krila rode; one podigoše efu između zemlje i neba.

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

Upitah tad anđela koji je govorio sa mnom: “Kamo odnose efu?”

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.

On mi odgovori: “Da joj sagrade hram u zemlji šinearskoj i da joj pripreme postolje na koje će je postaviti.”
