Zechariah 5
1 And I turn back, and lift up my eyes, and look, and behold, a flying scroll.
Derpå løftede jeg mine Øjne og skuede, og se, der var en flyvende Bogrulle.
2 And he says to me, “What are you seeing?” And I say, “I am seeing a flying scroll, its length [is] twenty by the cubit, and its breadth [is] ten by the cubit.”
Og han spurgte mig: "Hvad ser du?" Jeg svarede: "Jeg ser en flyvende Bogrulle, som er tyve Alen lang og ti Alen bred."
3 And he says to me, “This [is] the execration that is going forth over the face of all the land, for everyone who is stealing, on the one side, according to it, has been declared innocent, and everyone who has sworn, on the other side, according to it, has been declared innocent.”
Da sagde han til mig: "Det er Forbandelsen, som udgår over hele Landet; thi alle, som stjæler, er nu længe nok gået fri, og alle, som sværger, er nu længe nok gået fri.
4 “I have brought it out,” a declaration of YHWH of Hosts, “and it has come into the house of the thief, and into the house of him who has sworn in My Name with a falsehood, and it has remained in the midst of his house, and has consumed it, both its wood and its stones.”
Jeg lader den udgå, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE, for at den skal komme i Tyvens Hus og dens Hus, som sværger falsk ved mit Navn, og sætte sig fast i deres Huse og tilintetgøre dem med Tømmer og Sten."
5 And the messenger who is speaking with me goes forth and says to me, “Now lift up your eyes, and [do you] see what this [is] that is coming forth?”
Derpå trådte Engelen, som talte med mig, frem og sagde til mig: "Løft dine Øjne og se, hvad det er, som kommer der!"
6 And I say, “What [is] it?” And he says, “This—the ephah that is coming forth.” And he says, “This [is] their aspect in all the land.
Jeg spurgte: "Hvad er det?" Og han svarede: "Det er Efaen, som kommer." Og han vedblev: "Det er deres Brøde i hele Landet."
7 And behold, a disc of lead lifted up; and this [is] a woman sitting in the midst of the ephah.”
Og se, et Blylåg løftedes, og se, i Efaen sad en Kvinde.
8 And he says, “This [is] the wicked woman.” And he casts her into the midst of the ephah, and casts the weight of lead on its mouth.
Og han sagde: "Det er Gudløsheden!" Så stødte han hende ned i Efaen og slog Blylåget i over Åbningen.
9 And I lift up my eyes, and see, and behold, two women are coming forth, and wind [is] in their wings; and they have wings like wings of the stork, and they lift up the ephah between the earth and the heavens.
Og jeg løftede mine Øjne og skuede, og se, to Kvinder kom båret af Vinden, og deres Vinger var som Storkevinger; og de løftede Efaen op mellem Himmel og Jord.
10 And I say to the messenger who is speaking with me, “To where [are] they causing the ephah to go?”
Så spurgte jeg Engelen, som talte med mig: "Hvor bærer de Efaen hen?"
11 And he says to me, “To build a house for it in the land of Shinar.” And it has been prepared and has been placed there on its base.
Han svarede: "Hen at bygge hende et Hus i Sinears Land, og når det er rejst, sætter de hende der, hvor hendes Sted er."
