Zechariah 5
1 I looked up again, and I saw a scroll that was flying [through the air].
我又舉目觀看，見有一飛行的書卷。
2 The angel asked me, “What do you see?” I replied, “I see a flying scroll that is [huge], (10 yards/9 meters) long and (5 yards/4.5 meters) wide.”
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 he said to me, “On this scroll is written the [words that Yahweh is speaking to] curse the entire country. On [one side of] the scroll it is written that every thief will be banished. On [the other side] it is written that everyone who tells a lie when he is solemnly promising to tell the truth will also be banished from the country.
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 The Commander of the armies of angels says, ‘I will send [copies of] this scroll to the places where thieves live and to the houses of those who use my name when they solemnly promise to tell the truth. [The copies of] this scroll will stay in their houses, until those houses and all their wood and stones are destroyed.’”
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 who had been talking to me came closer to me and said, “Look up and see what is appearing!”
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 I asked him, “What is it?” He replied, “It is a big basket [for measuring grain]. But it represents the sins that everyone in this nation has committed.”
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 Then [the angel] lifted the basket’s cover, [which was made] of lead. There was a woman sitting inside the basket!
（我見有一片圓鉛被舉起來。）這坐在量器中的是個婦人。
8 The angel said, “She represents the wicked things [that people do].” Then the angel pushed her back into the basket and closed the very heavy lid [again].
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 I looked up and saw two women in front of me. They [were flying toward us], with their wings spread out in the wind. Their wings were [large], like [SIM] storks’ wings. They lifted the big basket up into the sky.
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 I asked the angel who had been talking to me, “Where are they taking that basket?”
我問與我說話的天使說：「她們要將量器抬到哪裏去呢？」
11 He replied, “[They are taking it] to Babylonia to build a temple for it. When the temple is finished, they will set the basket there on a pedestal [for people to worship it].”
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。」
