< Zechariah 5 >

1 Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll.
我又舉目觀看,見有一飛行的書卷。
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 unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it.
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 YHWH 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 remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the 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 forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth.
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 said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance 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, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst 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 wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon 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 lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven.
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 said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear 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 he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.
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。」
