Zaccharias Propheta 5
1 Et conversus sum, et levavi oculos meos: et vidi, et ecce volumen volans.
And I turned and lifted up my eyes. And I saw, and behold, a book flying.
2 Et dixit ad me: Quid tu vides? Et dixi: Ego video volumen volans: longitudo eius viginti cubitorum, et latitudo eius decem cubitorum.
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 Et dixit ad me: Haec est maledictio, quae egreditur super faciem omnis terrae: quia omnis fur, sicut ibi scriptum est, iudicabitur: et omnis iurans, ex hoc similiter iudicabitur.
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 Educam illud, dicit Dominus exercituum: et veniet ad domum furis, et ad domum iurantis in nomine meo mendaciter: et commorabitur in medio domus eius, et consumet eam, et ligna eius, et lapides eius.
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 Et egressus est angelus, qui loquebatur in me: et dixit ad me: Leva oculos tuos, et vide quid est hoc, quod egreditur.
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 Et dixi: Quidnam est? Et ait: Haec est amphora egrediens. Et dixit: Haec est oculus eorum in universa terra.
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 Et ecce talentum plumbi portabatur, et ecce mulier una sedens in medio amphorae.
And behold, a talent of lead was being carried; and behold, one woman sitting in the middle of the container.
8 Et dixit: Haec est impietas. Et proiecit eam in medio amphorae, et misit massam plumbeam in os eius.
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 Et levavi oculos meos, et vidi: et ecce duae mulieres egredientes, et spiritus in alis earum, et habebant alas quasi alas milvi: et levaverunt amphoram inter terram, et caelum.
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 Et dixi ad angelum, qui loquebatur in me: Quo istae deferunt amphoram?
And I said to the angel who was speaking with me, “Where are they taking the container?”
11 Et dixit ad me: Ut aedificetur ei domus in terra Sennaar, et stabiliatur, et ponatur ibi super basem suam.
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.”
