Zaccharias Propheta 5

1 Et conversus sum, et levavi oculos meos: et vidi, et ecce volumen volans.

And I lifted up my eyes again and looked, and behold, a flying roll.

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 seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof 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.

Then said he to me: — This is the curse that goeth forth Over the Face of the whole land; For every one who stealeth shall be cut off from hence, according to it, And every one who sweareth falsely shall be cut off from hence, according to it.

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, saith Jehovah of hosts, And it shall enter into the house of the thief, And into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name; And it shall abide in his house, And shall consume it, with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.

5 Et egressus est angelus, qui loquebatur in me: et dixit ad me: Leva oculos tuos, et vide quid est hoc, quod egreditur.

Then the angel who talked with me went forth, and said to me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what this is which goeth 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 is it? And he said, This is an ephah which goeth forth. He said, moreover, This is their image through all the land.

7 Et ecce talentum plumbi portabatur, et ecce mulier una sedens in medio amphorae.

And behold, a talent of lead was lifted up, and a woman was sitting upon the ephah.

8 Et dixit: Haec est impietas. Et proiecit eam in medio amphorae, et misit massam plumbeam in os eius.

And he said, This is the Wickedness. And he cast her into the ephah, and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.

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.

Then lifted I up mine eyes and looked, and behold, there came forth two women, and wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and heaven.

10 Et dixi ad angelum, qui loquebatur in me: Quo istae deferunt amphoram?

Then said I to the angel who talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah?

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 build it a house in the land of Shinar, that it may be fixed there, and set upon its base.
