< Zechariah 5 >

1 Then again I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold a flying roll.
et conversus sum et levavi oculos meos et vidi et ecce volumen volans
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.'
et dixit ad me quid tu vides et dixi ego video volumen volans longitudo eius viginti cubitorum et latitudo eius decem cubitorum
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.
et dixit ad me haec est maledictio quae egreditur super faciem omnis terrae quia omnis fur sicut ibi scriptum est iudicabitur et omnis iurans ex hoc similiter iudicabitur
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.'
educam illud dicit Dominus exercituum et veniet ad domum furis et ad domum iurantis in nomine meo mendaciter et commorabitur in medio domus eius et consumet eam et ligna eius et lapides eius
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.'
et egressus est angelus qui loquebatur in me et dixit ad me leva oculos tuos et vide quid est hoc quod egreditur
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 —
et dixi quidnam est et ait haec est amphora egrediens et dixit haec est oculus eorum in universa terra
7 and, behold, there was lifted up a round piece of lead — and this is a woman sitting in the midst of the measure.'
et ecce talentum plumbi portabatur et ecce mulier una sedens in medio amphorae
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.
et dixit haec est impietas et proiecit eam in medio amphorae et misit massam plumbeam in os eius
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.
et levavi oculos meos et vidi et ecce duae mulieres egredientes et spiritus in alis earum et habebant alas quasi alas milvi et levaverunt amphoram inter terram et caelum
10 Then said I to the angel that spoke with me: 'Whither do these bear the measure?'
et dixi ad angelum qui loquebatur in me quo istae deferunt amphoram
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.
et dixit ad me ut aedificetur ei domus in terra Sennaar et stabiliatur et ponatur ibi super basem suam
