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 volume 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 seest thou? And I said: I see a volume flying: the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof 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 goeth forth over the face of the earth: for every thief shall be judged as is there written: and every one that sweareth in like manner shall be judged by it.
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, saith the Lord of hosts: and it shall come to the house of the thief, and to 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 the timber thereof, and the stones thereof.
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 went forth that spoke in me, and he said to me: Lift up thy eyes, and see what this is, that goeth 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 is it? And he said: This is a vessel 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 carried, and behold a woman sitting in the midst of the vessel.
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 wickedness. And he cast her into the midst of the vessel, and cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.
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 looked: and behold there came out two women, and wind was in their wings, and they had wings like the wings of a kite: and they lifted up the vessel between the earth and the 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 that spoke in me: Whither do these carry the vessel?
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: That a house may be built for it in the land of Sennaar, and that it may be established, and set there upon its own basis.
