Zechariah 5
1 And I turn back, and lift up my eyes, and look, and behold, a flying scroll.
| וָאָשׁוּב וָאֶשָּׂא עֵינַי וָֽאֶרְאֶה וְהִנֵּה מְגִלָּה עָפָֽה׃ |
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.”
| וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלַי מָה אַתָּה רֹאֶה וָאֹמַר אֲנִי רֹאֶה מְגִלָּה עָפָה אׇרְכָּהּ עֶשְׂרִים בָּֽאַמָּה וְרׇחְבָּהּ עֶשֶׂר בָּאַמָּֽה׃ |
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.”
| וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלַי זֹאת הָֽאָלָה הַיּוֹצֵאת עַל־פְּנֵי כׇל־הָאָרֶץ כִּי כׇל־הַגֹּנֵב מִזֶּה כָּמוֹהָ נִקָּה וְכׇל־הַנִּשְׁבָּע מִזֶּה כָּמוֹהָ נִקָּֽה׃ |
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.”
| הוֹצֵאתִיהָ נְאֻם יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת וּבָאָה אֶל־בֵּית הַגַּנָּב וְאֶל־בֵּית הַנִּשְׁבָּע בִּשְׁמִי לַשָּׁקֶר וְלָנֶה בְּתוֹךְ בֵּיתוֹ וְכִלַּתּוּ וְאֶת־עֵצָיו וְאֶת־אֲבָנָֽיו׃ |
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?”
| וַיֵּצֵא הַמַּלְאָךְ הַדֹּבֵר בִּי וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלַי שָׂא נָא עֵינֶיךָ וּרְאֵה מָה הַיּוֹצֵאת הַזֹּֽאת׃ |
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.
| וָאֹמַר מַה־הִיא וַיֹּאמֶר זֹאת הָֽאֵיפָה הַיּוֹצֵאת וַיֹּאמֶר זֹאת עֵינָם בְּכׇל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
7 And behold, a disc of lead lifted up; and this [is] a woman sitting in the midst of the ephah.”
| וְהִנֵּה כִּכַּר עֹפֶרֶת נִשֵּׂאת וְזֹאת אִשָּׁה אַחַת יוֹשֶׁבֶת בְּתוֹךְ הָאֵיפָֽה׃ |
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.
| וַיֹּאמֶר זֹאת הָרִשְׁעָה וַיַּשְׁלֵךְ אֹתָהּ אֶל־תּוֹךְ הָֽאֵיפָה וַיַּשְׁלֵךְ אֶת־אֶבֶן הָעוֹפֶרֶת אֶל־פִּֽיהָ׃ |
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.
| וָאֶשָּׂא עֵינַי וָאֵרֶא וְהִנֵּה שְׁתַּיִם נָשִׁים יֽוֹצְאוֹת וְרוּחַ בְּכַנְפֵיהֶם וְלָהֵנָּה כְנָפַיִם כְּכַנְפֵי הַחֲסִידָה וַתִּשֶּׂאנָה אֶת־הָאֵיפָה בֵּין הָאָרֶץ וּבֵין הַשָּׁמָֽיִם׃ |
10 And I say to the messenger who is speaking with me, “To where [are] they causing the ephah to go?”
| וָאֹמַר אֶל־הַמַּלְאָךְ הַדֹּבֵר בִּי אָנָה הֵמָּה מֽוֹלִכוֹת אֶת־הָאֵיפָֽה׃ |
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.
| וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלַי לִבְנֽוֹת־לָהֿ בַיִת בְּאֶרֶץ שִׁנְעָר וְהוּכַן וְהֻנִּיחָה שָּׁם עַל־מְכֻנָתָֽהּ׃ |
