< Zacarías 5 >
1 Y me torné, y alcé mis ojos, y miré, y he aquí un rollo que volaba.
And I turned and lifted up my eyes. And I saw, and behold, a book flying.
2 Y me dijo: ¿Qué ves? Y respondí: Veo un rollo que vuela, de veinte codos de largo, y diez codos de ancho.
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 Me dijo entonces: Esta es la maldición que sale sobre la faz de toda la tierra; porque todo aquel que hurta, (como está de un lado del rollo ) será destruido; y todo aquel que jura, (como está del otro lado del rollo ) será destruido.
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 Yo la saqué, dijo el SEÑOR de los ejércitos, y vendrá a la casa del ladrón, y a la casa del que jura falsamente en mi nombre; y permanecerá en medio de su casa, y la consumirá, con sus enmaderamientos y sus piedras.
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 Y salió aquel ángel que hablaba conmigo, y me dijo: Alza ahora tus ojos, y mira qué es esto que sale.
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 Y dije: ¿Qué es? Y él dijo: Esta es un efa de medir trigo que sale. Además dijo: Este es la iniquidad de ellos en toda la tierra.
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 Y he aquí, levantaron un talento de plomo, y una mujer estaba sentada en medio de aquel efa.
And behold, a talent of lead was being carried; and behold, one woman sitting in the middle of the container.
8 Y él dijo: Esta es la maldad; y la echó dentro del efa, y echó la masa de plomo en su boca.
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 Alcé luego mis ojos, y miré, y he aquí dos mujeres que salían, y traían viento en sus alas, y tenían alas como de cigüeña, y alzaron el efa entre la tierra y los cielos.
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 Y dije a aquel ángel que hablaba conmigo: ¿A dónde llevan éstas el efa?
And I said to the angel who was speaking with me, “Where are they taking the container?”
11 Y él me respondió: Para que le sea edificada casa en tierra de Sinar; y será asentado y puesto allá sobre su asiento.
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.”
