1 अनि म फर्कें र मेरो नजर उठाएर हेर्दा मेरोअगि एउटा चर्मपत्रको मुट्ठो उडिरहेको देखें ।
And once more lifted I mine eyes, and looked, —and lo! a Flying Volume.
2 स्वर्गदूतले मलाई भने, “तिमी के देख्दैछौ?” मैले जवाफ दिएँ, “मैले नौ मिटर लामो र साढे चार मिटर चौडा चर्मपत्रको मुट्ठो उडिरहेको देख्दै छु ।”
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 अनि तिनले मलाई भने, “यो त्यो सराप हो जुन सारा भूमिमा जानेछ । किनकि यसको एकापट्टि जे भनिएको छ त्यसको आधारमा हरेक चोर बहिष्कृत हुनेछ, र अर्कापट्टि जे भनिएको छ त्यसको आधारमा झुटो शपथ खाने हरेक बहिष्कृत हुनेछ ।”
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 “म यो पठाउनेछु, अनि त्यो चोरको घरमा र मेरो नाउँको झुटो शपथ खानेको घरमा जानेछ, परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ । त्यो त्यस घरभित्रै रहनेछ र त्यसका काठहरू र ढुङ्गाहरूलाई ध्वस्त पार्नेछ ।”
[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 त्यसपछि मसँग बोलिरहेका स्वर्गदूत बाहिर निस्के अनि मलाई भने, “आफ्नो नजर उठाउ र आउन लागेको कुरा हेर!”
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 मैले भनें, “त्यो के हो?” तिनले भने, “यो एउटा नाप्ने डालो हो । सारा भूमिमा तिनीहरूका पाप यही हो ।”
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 अनि त्यस डालोको ढक्‍कन उठाइयो र त्यस डालोभित्र एउटी स्‍त्री थिई ।
And lo! a leaden disc uplifted, —and here a certain woman, sitting inside the ephah.
8 स्वर्गदूतले भने, “योचाहिँ दुष्‍टता हो!” तिनले त्यस स्‍त्रीलाई त्यस डालोभित्र फ्याँकिदिए, र त्यसको ढक्‍कन लगाइदिए ।
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 मैले आफ्नो नजर उठाएँ अनि दुई जना स्‍त्री मतिर आइरहेको देखें, र बतास तिनीहरूका पखेटामा थियो, किनकि तिनीहरूका पखेटा सारसका पखेटाझैँ थिए । तिनीहरूले त्यो डालोलाई पृथ्वी र आकाशको बिचमा पुर्‍याए ।
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 यसैले मसँग बोलिरहेका स्वर्गदूतलाई मैले भनें, “तिनीहरूले त्यो डालो कहाँलैजाँदै छन्?”
Then said I unto the messenger who was speaking with me, —Whither are they carrying the ephah?
11 तिनले मलाई भने, “त्यसको निम्ति बेबिलोनिया देशमा मन्दिर बनाउनको निम्ति ।मन्दिर तयार भएपछि, डालो राख्‍नको निम्ति बनाइएको स्थानमा त्यो राखिनेछ ।”
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?
