Книга пророка Захарии 5

1 И обратихся и возведох очи мои и видех, и се, серп летящь.

Then again I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold a flying roll.

2 И рече ко мне: что ты видиши? И рех: аз вижду серп летящь, в долготу лактей двадесять и в широту десяти лактей.

And he said unto me: 'What seest thou?' And I answered: 'I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.'

3 И рече ко мне: сия клятва исходящая на лице всея земли: зане всяк тать от сего даже до смерти отмщен будет, и всяк кленыйся во лжу от сего до смерти отмстится.

Then said he unto me: 'This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole land; for every one that stealeth shall be swept away on the one side like it; and every one that sweareth shall be swept away on the other side like it.

4 И изнесу его, глаголет Господь Вседержитель, и внидет в дом татя и в дом кленущагося именем Моим во лжу, и вселится посреде дому его, и скончает его и древа его и камение его.

I cause it to go forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by My name; and it shall abide in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.'

5 И изыде Ангел глаголяй во мне и рече ко мне: воззри очима твоима и виждь исходящее сие. И рех:

Then the angel that spoke with me went forth, and said unto me: 'Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth.'

6 что есть? И рече: сия мера исходящая. И рече: сия неправда их по всей земли.

And I said: 'What is it?' And he said: 'This is the measure that goeth forth.' He said moreover: 'This is their eye in all the land —

7 И се, талант оловян вземляйся, и се, жена едина седяше посреде меры.

and, behold, there was lifted up a round piece of lead — and this is a woman sitting in the midst of the measure.'

8 И рече: сия есть беззаконие. И верже ю в средину меры и вверже камень оловяный во уста ея.

And he said: 'This is Wickedness.' And he cast her down into the midst of the measure, and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.

9 И возведох очи мои и видех, и се, две жены исходящыя, и дух в крилех их, и те имяху крила, яко криле вдодовы: и взяша меру между землею и между небом.

Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there came forth two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork; and they lifted up the measure between the earth and the heaven.

10 И рех ко Ангелу глаголющему во мне: камо сия относят меру?

Then said I to the angel that spoke with me: 'Whither do these bear the measure?'

11 И рече ко мне: создати ей храмину в земли Вавилонстей и уготовати, и положат ю тамо на уготование свое.

And he said unto me: 'To build her a house in the land of Shinar; and when it is prepared, she shall be set there in her own place.
