Zechariah 5
1 And I again lifted up my eyes, and looked, and behold there was a flying roll[-book].
Aku memperhatikan lagi, dan kali ini kulihat sebuah kitab gulungan terbang di udara.
2 And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll, its length is twenty cubits, and its breadth ten cubits.
Malaikat itu menanyakan apa yang kulihat. Jawabku, "Sebuah kitab gulungan terbang di udara. Panjangnya sembilan meter dan lebarnya empat setengah meter."
3 Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of all the earth; for every one that stealeth as it is on this side shall be in an equal degree entirely destroyed, as also every one that sweareth [falsely] as it is on that side shall be likewise entirely destroyed.
Lalu ia berkata kepadaku, "Pada kitab gulungan itu tertulis kutukan terhadap seluruh negeri ini. Pada satu muka tertulis bahwa setiap pencuri akan dikeluarkan dari negeri ini. Dan pada muka lainnya tertulis bahwa setiap orang yang bersumpah palsu juga akan dikeluarkan.
4 I bring it 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 remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with its timber and its stones.
TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa berkata bahwa kutukan itu akan ditimpakannya ke atas rumah setiap pencuri dan rumah setiap orang yang bersumpah palsu. Rumah-rumah itu akan terus kena kutukan itu sampai menjadi puing-puing."
5 Then went forth the angel that spoke with me, and said unto me, Do but lift up thy eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth.
Malaikat itu muncul lagi dan berkata, "Lihat! Ada lagi yang datang!"
6 And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their appearance through all the earth.
"Apa itu?" tanyaku. Jawabnya, "Sebuah keranjang. Itulah lambang dosa dari seluruh negeri ini."
7 And, behold, there was lifted up a heavy [cover] of lead: and there was a certain woman sitting in the midst of the ephah.
Keranjang itu mempunyai tutup dari timah. Sementara kuperhatikan, tutup itu terangkat dan ternyata di dalam keranjang itu duduk seorang wanita.
8 And he said, This is the wickedness. And he cast her into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weighty lead cover upon the mouth thereof.
Malaikat itu berkata, "Wanita ini melambangkan kejahatan." Lalu ditekannya wanita itu kembali ke dalam keranjang dan ditutupnya keranjang itu.
9 Then did I lift up my eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, having the wind in their wings, and they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven.
Aku menengok ke atas dan melihat dua wanita terbang ke arahku. Mereka mempunyai sayap yang kokoh seperti sayap burung bangau. Keranjang tadi mereka ambil lalu mereka bawa terbang.
10 Then said I to the angel that spoke with me, Whither are these bearing away the ephah?
Aku bertanya kepada malaikat itu, "Ke mana mereka bawa keranjang itu?"
11 And he said unto me, To build for it a house in the land of Shin'ar: and when this is erected, then will the other be set there upon its own base.
Jawabnya, "Ke Babel, di sana mereka akan membangun kuil baginya. Jika kuil itu selesai, keranjang itu akan ditempatkan di situ untuk disembah."
