< Zaccharias Propheta 5 >

1 Et conversus sum, et levavi oculos meos: et vidi, et ecce volumen volans.
Then I turned, and lifted up my eyes, 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; its length [is] twenty cubits, and its breadth 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 earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off [as] on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off [as] on that side 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 the LORD 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 remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with its timber 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.
Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said to me, Lift up now thy eyes, and see what [is] this that 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 that goeth forth. He said moreover, This [is] their resemblance through all the earth.
7 Et ecce talentum plumbi portabatur, et ecce mulier una sedens in medio amphorae.
And behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this [is] a woman that sitteth in the midst of 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] wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon 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.
Then I lifted up my eyes, and looked and behold, there came out two women, and the 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 the heaven.
10 Et dixi ad angelum, qui loquebatur in me: Quo istae deferunt amphoram?
Then said I to the angel that 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 for it a house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.
