Zechariah 5

1 Then I turned, and lifted up my eyes, and looked, and behold a flying scroll.

Potem sem se obrnil, povzdignil svoje oči, pogledal in zagledal leteči zvitek.

2 And he said to me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty cubits, and its breadth ten cubits.

Rekel mi je: »Kaj vidiš?« Odgovoril sem: »Vidim leteči zvitek. Njegova dolžina je dvajset komolcev in njegova širina deset komolcev.«

3 Then said he to me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it.

Potem mi je rekel: »To je prekletstvo, ki gre naprej preko obličja celotne zemlje, kajti vsak, kdor krade, bo pokončan kakor na tej strani, glede na to; in vsak, kdor prisega, bo pokončan kakor na tisti strani, glede na to.«

4 I will 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.

»Privedel ga bom naprej, « govori Gospod nad bojevniki »in ta bo vstopil v hišo tatu in v hišo tistega, ki krivo prisega pri mojem imenu. In ta bo ostal v sredi njegove hiše in použil jo bo z njenim lesom in njenimi kamni.«

5 Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said to me, Lift up now thy eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth.

Potem je angel, ki je govoril z menoj, odšel naprej in mi rekel: »Dvigni sedaj svoje oči in poglej kaj je to, kar gre naprej.«

6 And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance through all the earth.

Rekel sem: »Kaj je to?« Rekel je: »To je škaf, ki gre naprej.« Poleg tega je rekel: »To je njihov videz po vsej zemlji.«

7 And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.

Glej, tam je bil dvignjen talent iz svinca in to je ženska, ki sedi na sredi škafa.

8 And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon its mouth.

Rekel je: »To je zlobnost.« In vrgel jo je na sredo škafa in svinčeno utež je vrgel na njegovo odprtino.

9 Then I lifted up my eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven.

Potem sem povzdignil svoje oči in pogledal in glej, tam sta prišli ven dve ženski in veter je bil v njunih perutih, kajti peruti sta imeli podobni perutim štorklje in škaf sta dvignili med zemljo in nebo.

10 Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Where do these bear the ephah?

Potem sem rekel angelu, ki je govoril z menoj: »Kam ti [dve] nosita škaf?«

11 And he said to me, To build for it an house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.

Rekel mi je: »Da mu zgradijo hišo v deželi Šinár. In ta bo utrjena in tam ga postavita na njegov lastni temelj.«
