Zaharija 5

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

Then again I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, a flying scroll.

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

He said to me, “What do you see?” I answered, “I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty cubits, and its width 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.«

Then he said to me, “This is the curse that goes out over the surface of the whole land, for everyone who steals shall be cut off according to it on the one side; and everyone who swears falsely shall be cut off according to it on the other side.

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 cause it to go out,” says the LORD of Hosts, “and it will enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him who swears falsely by my name; and it will remain in the middle of his house, and will destroy it with its timber 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.«

Then the angel who talked with me came forward and said to me, “Lift up now your eyes and see what this is that is appearing.”

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.«

I said, “What is it?” He said, “This is the efah basket that is appearing.” He said moreover, “This is their appearance in all the land—

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

and behold, a lead cover weighing one talent was lifted up—and there was a woman sitting in the middle of the efah basket.”

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

He said, “This is Wickedness;” and he threw her down into the middle of the efah basket; and he threw the lead weight on 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.

Then I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, there were two women; and the wind was in their wings. Now they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the efah basket between earth and the sky.

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

Then I said to the angel who talked with me, “Where are these carrying the efah basket?”

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

He said to me, “To build her a house in the land of Shinar. When it is prepared, she will be set there in her own place.”
