Zakharia 5
1 Aku memperhatikan lagi, dan kali ini kulihat sebuah kitab gulungan terbang di udara.
Then again lifting up my eyes I saw a roll in flight through the air.
2 Malaikat itu menanyakan apa yang kulihat. Jawabku, "Sebuah kitab gulungan terbang di udara. Panjangnya sembilan meter dan lebarnya empat setengah meter."
And he said to me, What do you see? And I said, A roll going through the air; it is twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide.
3 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.
Then he said to me, This is the curse which goes out over the face of all the land: for long enough has every thief gone without punishment, and long enough has every taker of false oaths gone without punishment.
4 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."
And I will send it out, says the Lord of armies, and it will go into the house of the thief and into the house of him who takes a false oath by my name: and it will be in his house, causing its complete destruction, with its woodwork and its stones.
5 Malaikat itu muncul lagi dan berkata, "Lihat! Ada lagi yang datang!"
And the angel who was talking to me went out and said to me, Let your eyes be lifted up now, and see the ephah which is going out.
6 "Apa itu?" tanyaku. Jawabnya, "Sebuah keranjang. Itulah lambang dosa dari seluruh negeri ini."
And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah which is going out. And he said further, This is their evil-doing in all the land.
7 Keranjang itu mempunyai tutup dari timah. Sementara kuperhatikan, tutup itu terangkat dan ternyata di dalam keranjang itu duduk seorang wanita.
And I saw a round cover of lead lifted up; and a woman was seated in the middle of the ephah.
8 Malaikat itu berkata, "Wanita ini melambangkan kejahatan." Lalu ditekannya wanita itu kembali ke dalam keranjang dan ditutupnya keranjang itu.
And he said, This is Sin; and pushing her down into the ephah, he put the weight of lead on the mouth of it.
9 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.
And lifting up my eyes I saw two women coming out, and the wind was in their wings; and they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they took the ephah, lifting it up between earth and heaven.
10 Aku bertanya kepada malaikat itu, "Ke mana mereka bawa keranjang itu?"
And I said to the angel who was talking to me, Where are they taking the ephah?
11 Jawabnya, "Ke Babel, di sana mereka akan membangun kuil baginya. Jika kuil itu selesai, keranjang itu akan ditempatkan di situ untuk disembah."
And he said to me, To make a house for her in the land of Shinar: and they will make a place ready, and put her there in the place which is hers.
