< زکریا 5 >
بار دیگر به آسمان چشم دوختم و طوماری را در حال پرواز دیدم. | 1 |
And I turned and lifted up my eyes. And I saw, and behold, a book flying.
فرشته از من پرسید: «چه میبینی؟» جواب دادم: «طوماری میبینم به طول ده متر و عرض پنج متر که در حال پرواز است.» | 2 |
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.”
گفت: «این طومار لعنتهای خدا را در بردارد و آنها را به سراسر جهان میبرد. نوشتهٔ روی آن نشان میدهد که تمام دزدان و دروغگویان محکوم به مرگ هستند.» | 3 |
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.”
خداوند لشکرهای آسمان میفرماید که این لعنتها را به خانهٔ کسانی که دزدی میکنند و آنهایی که به نام او قسم دروغ میخورند، میفرستد تا بر خانههایشان قرار بگیرد و آنها را به کلی نابود کند. | 4 |
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.
فرشته بار دیگر ظاهر شد و گفت: «بالا را نگاه کن. چیز دیگری در حال پرواز است.» | 5 |
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.”
پرسیدم: «آن چیست؟» جواب داد: «یک بشکهٔ بزرگ است. این بشکه پر است از گناهانی که سراسر زمین را فرا گرفتهاند.» | 6 |
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.”
ناگهان سرپوش سنگین سربی بشکه کنار رفت و من توانستم زنی را که در بشکه نشسته بود ببینم! | 7 |
And behold, a talent of lead was being carried; and behold, one woman sitting in the middle of the container.
فرشته گفت: «آن زن نشانهٔ فساد و شرارت است.» آنگاه زن را به داخل بشکه هل داد و دوباره سرپوش سربی را روی آن گذاشت. | 8 |
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.
سپس دو زن دیگر دیدم که بالهایی شبیه بالهای لکلک داشتند و پرواز میکردند. آنها آمده، بشکه را برداشتند و پروازکنان با خود بردند. | 9 |
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.
از فرشته پرسیدم: «بشکه را کجا میبرند؟» | 10 |
And I said to the angel who was speaking with me, “Where are they taking the container?”
جواب داد: «آن را به بابِل میبرند تا جایگاهی برای آن بسازند و بشکه را در آن قرار دهند.» | 11 |
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.”
