Zechariah 5

1 And once more lifted I mine eyes, and looked, —and lo! a Flying Volume.

And I returned and I lifted up eyes my and I saw and there! a scroll flying.

2 And he said unto me, What canst thou see? So I said, I, can see a flying volume, the length thereof, twenty by the cubit, and, the breadth thereof, ten by the cubit.

And he said to me what? [are] you seeing and I said I [am] seeing a scroll flying length its [is] twenty by the cubit and breadth its [is] ten by the cubit.

3 Then said he unto me, This, is the curse, which is going forth over the face of all the earth, —Because, every one who stealeth, on the one side, hath in one way been let off, and, every one who sweareth, on the other side, hath in another way been let off,

And he said to me this [is] the curse which is about to go forth over [the] surface of all the land for every [one who] steals from this according to it he will be purged and every [one who] swears an oath from this according to it he will be purged.

4 [therefore] have I brought it forth, Declareth Yahweh of hosts, And it shall enter—into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth by my name, falsely, —and it shall roost in the midst of his house, and shall consume it, both the timbers thereof, and the stones thereof.

I will send forth it [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts and it will go into [the] house of the thief and into [the] house of the [one who] swears an oath by name my to falsehood and it will lodge in [the] midst of house his and it will destroy it and wood its and stone its.

5 Then came forward, the messenger who was talking with me, —and said unto me—Lift up, I pray thee, thine eyes, and see what this is which is coming forth.

And he went out the angel who was speaking with me and he said to me lift up please eyes your and see what? [is] the [thing which] is going forth this.

6 And I said, What is it? Then said he, This, is an ephah that is coming forth. And he said, This, is their iniquity, throughout all the land.

And I said what? [is] it and he said this [is] the ephah which is going forth and he said this [is] appearance their in all the land.

7 And lo! a leaden disc uplifted, —and here a certain woman, sitting inside the ephah.

And there! a round cover of lead [was] raised and this woman one [was] sitting in [the] midst of the ephah.

8 Then said he, This, is Lawlessness. So he thrust her back inside the ephah, —and then thrust the leaden weight into the mouth thereof.

And he said this [woman] [is] wickedness and he threw her into [the] midst of the ephah and he threw [the] weight of lead into mouth its.

9 Then lifted I up mine eyes and looked, and lo! Two Women coming forward, with the wind in their wings, and, they, had wings, like the wings of the stork, —and bare up the ephah, between the earth and the heavens.

And I lifted up eyes my and I saw and there! two women [were] going forth and a wind [was] in wings their and [belonged] to them wings like [the] wings of stork and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and between the heavens.

10 Then said I unto the messenger who was speaking with me, —Whither are they carrying the ephah?

And I said to the angel who was speaking with me where? [are] they taking the ephah.

11 And he said unto me, To build for it a house in the land of Shinar, —so shall it be ready, and they shall settle it there, upon its own base?

And he said to me to build for it a house in [the] land of Shinar and it will be prepared and it will be placed there on on own stand its.
