Zechariah 5
1 Then again I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, a flying scroll.
Aku memperhatikan lagi, dan kali ini kulihat sebuah kitab gulungan terbang di udara.
2 He said to me, “What do you see?” I answered, “I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty cubits, and its width ten cubits.”
Malaikat itu menanyakan apa yang kulihat. Jawabku, "Sebuah kitab gulungan terbang di udara. Panjangnya sembilan meter dan lebarnya empat setengah meter."
3 Then he said to me, “This is the curse that goes out over the surface of the whole land, for everyone who steals shall be cut off according to it on the one side; and everyone who swears falsely shall be cut off according to it on the other side.
Lalu ia berkata kepadaku, "Pada kitab gulungan itu tertulis kutukan terhadap seluruh negeri ini. Pada satu muka tertulis bahwa setiap pencuri akan dikeluarkan dari negeri ini. Dan pada muka lainnya tertulis bahwa setiap orang yang bersumpah palsu juga akan dikeluarkan.
4 I will cause it to go out,” says the LORD of Hosts, “and it will enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him who swears falsely by my name; and it will remain in the middle of his house, and will destroy it with its timber and its stones.”
TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa berkata bahwa kutukan itu akan ditimpakannya ke atas rumah setiap pencuri dan rumah setiap orang yang bersumpah palsu. Rumah-rumah itu akan terus kena kutukan itu sampai menjadi puing-puing."
5 Then the angel who talked with me came forward and said to me, “Lift up now your eyes and see what this is that is appearing.”
Malaikat itu muncul lagi dan berkata, "Lihat! Ada lagi yang datang!"
6 I said, “What is it?” He said, “This is the efah basket that is appearing.” He said moreover, “This is their appearance in all the land—
"Apa itu?" tanyaku. Jawabnya, "Sebuah keranjang. Itulah lambang dosa dari seluruh negeri ini."
7 and behold, a lead cover weighing one talent was lifted up—and there was a woman sitting in the middle of the efah basket.”
Keranjang itu mempunyai tutup dari timah. Sementara kuperhatikan, tutup itu terangkat dan ternyata di dalam keranjang itu duduk seorang wanita.
8 He said, “This is Wickedness;” and he threw her down into the middle of the efah basket; and he threw the lead weight on its mouth.
Malaikat itu berkata, "Wanita ini melambangkan kejahatan." Lalu ditekannya wanita itu kembali ke dalam keranjang dan ditutupnya keranjang itu.
9 Then I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, there were two women; and the wind was in their wings. Now they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the efah basket between earth and the sky.
Aku menengok ke atas dan melihat dua wanita terbang ke arahku. Mereka mempunyai sayap yang kokoh seperti sayap burung bangau. Keranjang tadi mereka ambil lalu mereka bawa terbang.
10 Then I said to the angel who talked with me, “Where are these carrying the efah basket?”
Aku bertanya kepada malaikat itu, "Ke mana mereka bawa keranjang itu?"
11 He said to me, “To build her a house in the land of Shinar. When it is prepared, she will be set there in her own place.”
Jawabnya, "Ke Babel, di sana mereka akan membangun kuil baginya. Jika kuil itu selesai, keranjang itu akan ditempatkan di situ untuk disembah."
