ゼカリヤ書 5
1 我また目を擧て觀しに卷物の飛あり
And I turned and lifted up my eyes. And I saw, and behold, a book flying.
2 彼われに汝何を見るやと言ければ我言ふ我卷物の飛ぶを見る其長は二十キユビトその寛は十キユビト
And he said to me, “What do you see?” And I said, “I see a book flying. Its length is twenty cubits, and its width is ten cubits.”
3 彼またわれに言けるは是は全地の表面を往めぐる呪詛の言なり凡て竊む者は卷物のこの面に照して除かれ凡て誓ふ者は卷物の彼の面照して除かるべし
And he said to me, “This is the curse that goes forth over the face of the whole earth. For every thief will be judged, just as it has been written there, and everyone who swears by this, will be judged in like manner.”
4 萬軍のヱホバのたまふ我これを出せり是は竊盗者の家に入りまた我名を指て僞り誓ふ者の家に入てその家の中に宿りその木と石とを並せて盡く之を焼べしと
I will bring it forth, says the Lord of hosts, and it will approach to the house of the thief, and to the house of him who swears falsely by my name, and it will remain in the midst of his house and will consume it, with its wood and its stones.
5 我に語へる天の使進み來りて我に言けるは請ふ目を擧てこの出きたれる物の何なるを見よ
And the angel had departed, who was speaking with me. And he said to me, “Lift up your eyes, and see what this is, that goes forth.”
6 これは何なるやと我言ければ彼言ふ此出來れる者はエパ舛なり又言ふ全地において彼等の形状は是のごとしと
And I said, “What, then, is it?” And he said, “This is a container going forth.” And he said, “This is their eye in all the earth.”
7 かくて鉛の圓き蓋を取あぐれば一人の婦人エパ舛の中に坐し居る
And behold, a talent of lead was being carried; and behold, one woman sitting in the middle of the container.
8 彼是は罪惡なりと言てその婦人をエパ舛の中に投いれ鉛の錘をその舛の口に投かぶらせたり
And he said, “This is impiety.” And he cast her into the middle of the container, and he sent the weight of lead into its mouth.
9 我また目を擧て觀しに婦人二人出きたれり之に鶴の翼のごとき翼ありてその翼風を含む彼等そのエパ舛を天地の間に持擧ぐ
And I lifted up my eyes and I saw. And behold, two women were departing, and a spirit was in their wings, and they had wings like the wings of a kite, and they lifted up the container between earth and heaven.
10 我すなはち我に語ふ天の使にむかひて彼等エパ舛を何處へ携へゆくなるやと言けるに
And I said to the angel who was speaking with me, “Where are they taking the container?”
11 彼我に言ふシナルの地にて之がために家を建んとてなり是は彼處に置られてその臺の上に立ん
And he said to me, “To a house that may be built for it in the land of Shinar, and so that it may be established and set there upon its own base.”
