Zaccharias Propheta 5

1 et conversus sum et levavi oculos meos et vidi et ecce volumen volans

And once more lifted I mine eyes, and looked, —and lo! a Flying Volume.

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 unto me, What canst thou see? So I said, I, can see a flying volume, the length thereof, twenty by the cubit, and, the breadth thereof, ten by the cubit.

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 unto me, This, is the curse, which is going forth over the face of all the earth, —Because, every one who stealeth, on the one side, hath in one way been let off, and, every one who sweareth, on the other side, hath in another way been let off,

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

[therefore] have I brought it forth, Declareth Yahweh of hosts, And it shall enter—into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth by my name, falsely, —and it shall roost in the midst of his house, and shall consume it, both the timbers 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 came forward, the messenger who was talking with me, —and said unto me—Lift up, I pray thee, thine eyes, and see what this is which is coming 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? Then said he, This, is an ephah that is coming forth. And he said, This, is their iniquity, throughout all the land.

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

And lo! a leaden disc uplifted, —and here a certain woman, sitting inside the ephah.

8 et dixit haec est impietas et proiecit eam in medio amphorae et misit massam plumbeam in os eius

Then said he, This, is Lawlessness. So he thrust her back inside the ephah, —and then thrust the leaden weight into 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 lo! Two Women coming forward, with the wind in their wings, and, they, had wings, like the wings of the stork, —and bare up the ephah, between the earth and the heavens.

10 et dixi ad angelum qui loquebatur in me quo istae deferunt amphoram

Then said I unto the messenger who was speaking with me, —Whither are they carrying 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 unto me, To build for it a house in the land of Shinar, —so shall it be ready, and they shall settle it there, upon its own base?
