Zaharija 5

1 Potem sem se obrnil, povzdignil svoje oči, pogledal in zagledal leteči zvitek.

And I turned and lifted up my eyes. And I saw, and behold, a book flying.

2 Rekel mi je: »Kaj vidiš?« Odgovoril sem: »Vidim leteči zvitek. Njegova dolžina je dvajset komolcev in njegova širina deset komolcev.«

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.”

3 Potem mi je rekel: »To je prekletstvo, ki gre naprej preko obličja celotne zemlje, kajti vsak, kdor krade, bo pokončan kakor na tej strani, glede na to; in vsak, kdor prisega, bo pokončan kakor na tisti strani, glede na to.«

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.”

4 »Privedel ga bom naprej, « govori Gospod nad bojevniki »in ta bo vstopil v hišo tatu in v hišo tistega, ki krivo prisega pri mojem imenu. In ta bo ostal v sredi njegove hiše in použil jo bo z njenim lesom in njenimi kamni.«

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.

5 Potem je angel, ki je govoril z menoj, odšel naprej in mi rekel: »Dvigni sedaj svoje oči in poglej kaj je to, kar gre naprej.«

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.”

6 Rekel sem: »Kaj je to?« Rekel je: »To je škaf, ki gre naprej.« Poleg tega je rekel: »To je njihov videz po vsej zemlji.«

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.”

7 Glej, tam je bil dvignjen talent iz svinca in to je ženska, ki sedi na sredi škafa.

And behold, a talent of lead was being carried; and behold, one woman sitting in the middle of the container.

8 Rekel je: »To je zlobnost.« In vrgel jo je na sredo škafa in svinčeno utež je vrgel na njegovo odprtino.

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.

9 Potem sem povzdignil svoje oči in pogledal in glej, tam sta prišli ven dve ženski in veter je bil v njunih perutih, kajti peruti sta imeli podobni perutim štorklje in škaf sta dvignili med zemljo in nebo.

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.

10 Potem sem rekel angelu, ki je govoril z menoj: »Kam ti [dve] nosita škaf?«

And I said to the angel who was speaking with me, “Where are they taking the container?”

11 Rekel mi je: »Da mu zgradijo hišo v deželi Šinár. In ta bo utrjena in tam ga postavita na njegov lastni temelj.«

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.”
