Zaharija 5

1 Potom opet podigoh oèi svoje i vidjeh, a to knjiga leæaše.

Again I lifted up my eyes and saw before me a flying scroll.

2 I on mi reèe: šta vidiš? A ja rekoh: vidim knjigu gdje leti, dužina joj dvadeset lakata a širina deset lakata.

“What do you see?” asked the angel. “I see a flying scroll,” I replied, “twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide.”

3 Tada mi reèe: to je prokletstvo koje izaðe na svu zemlju, jer svaki koji krade istrijebiæe se po njoj s jedne strane, i koji se god kune krivo istrijebiæe se po njoj s druge strane.

Then he told me, “This is the curse that is going out over the face of all the land, for according to one side of the scroll, every thief will be removed; and according to the other side, every perjurer will be removed.

4 Ja æu je pustiti, govori Gospod nad vojskama, te æe doæi na kuæu lupežu i na kuæu onome koji se kune mojim imenom krivo, i stajaæe mu usred kuæe i satræe je, i drvlje joj i kamenje.

I will send it out, declares the LORD of Hosts, and it will enter the house of the thief and the house of him who swears falsely by My name. It will remain inside his house and destroy it, down to its timbers and stones.”

5 Potom izide anðeo koji govoraše sa mnom, i reèe mi: podigni oèi svoje i vidi šta je ovo što izlazi.

Then the angel who was speaking with me came forward and told me, “Now lift up your eyes and see what is approaching.”

6 A ja rekoh: šta je? A on reèe: to je efa što izlazi. I reèe: to im je oko po svoj zemlji.

“What is it?” I asked. And he replied, “A measuring basket is going forth.” Then he continued, “This is their iniquity in all the land.”

7 I gle, podizaše se talanat olova, i jedna žena sjeðaše usred efe.

And behold, the cover of lead was raised, and there was a woman sitting inside the basket.

8 I on reèe: to je bezbožnost. I vrže je usred efe, i vrže onaj komad olova ozgo na ždrijelo joj.

“This is Wickedness,” he said. And he shoved her down into the basket, pushing down the lead cover over its opening.

9 I podigoh oèi svoje i vidjeh, a to dvije žene izlažahu, i vjetar im bijaše pod krilima, a krila im bijahu kao u rode, i digoše efu meðu zemlju i nebo.

Then I lifted up my eyes and saw two women approaching, with the wind in their wings. Their wings were like those of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between heaven and earth.

10 I rekoh anðelu koji govoraše sa mnom: kuda one nose efu?

“Where are they taking the basket?” I asked the angel who was speaking with me.

11 A on mi reèe: da joj naèine kuæu u zemlji Senaru; i ondje æe se namjestiti i postaviti na svoje podnožje.

“To build a house for it in the land of Shinar,” he told me. “And when it is ready, the basket will be set there on its pedestal.”
