Zaharija 5
1 Potom opet podigoh oèi svoje i vidjeh, a to knjiga leæaše.
I looked up again, and I saw a scroll that was flying [through the air].
2 I on mi reèe: šta vidiš? A ja rekoh: vidim knjigu gdje leti, dužina joj dvadeset lakata a širina deset lakata.
The angel asked me, “What do you see?” I replied, “I see a flying scroll that is [huge], (10 yards/9 meters) long and (5 yards/4.5 meters) 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 said to me, “On this scroll is written the [words that Yahweh is speaking to] curse the entire country. On [one side of] the scroll it is written that every thief will be banished. On [the other side] it is written that everyone who tells a lie when he is solemnly promising to tell the truth will also be banished from the country.
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.
The Commander of the armies of angels says, ‘I will send [copies of] this scroll to the places where thieves live and to the houses of those who use my name when they solemnly promise to tell the truth. [The copies of] this scroll will stay in their houses, until those houses and all their wood and stones are destroyed.’”
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 had been talking to me came closer to me and said, “Look up and see what is appearing!”
6 A ja rekoh: šta je? A on reèe: to je efa što izlazi. I reèe: to im je oko po svoj zemlji.
I asked him, “What is it?” He replied, “It is a big basket [for measuring grain]. But it represents the sins that everyone in this nation has committed.”
7 I gle, podizaše se talanat olova, i jedna žena sjeðaše usred efe.
Then [the angel] lifted the basket’s cover, [which was made] of lead. 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.
The angel said, “She represents the wicked things [that people do].” Then the angel pushed her back into the basket and closed the very heavy lid [again].
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 looked up and saw two women in front of me. They [were flying toward us], with their wings spread out in the wind. Their wings were [large], like [SIM] storks’ wings. They lifted the big basket up into the sky.
10 I rekoh anðelu koji govoraše sa mnom: kuda one nose efu?
I asked the angel who had been talking to me, “Where are they taking that basket?”
11 A on mi reèe: da joj naèine kuæu u zemlji Senaru; i ondje æe se namjestiti i postaviti na svoje podnožje.
He replied, “[They are taking it] to Babylonia to build a temple for it. When the temple is finished, they will set the basket there on a pedestal [for people to worship it].”
