< زَكَريَّا 5 >

فَعُدْتُ وَرَفَعْتُ عَيْنَيَّ وَنَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا بِدَرْجٍ طَائِرٍ. ١ 1
Then again I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold, a flying roll.
فَقَالَ لِي: «مَاذَا تَرَى؟» فَقُلْتُ: «إِنِّي أَرَى دَرْجًا طَائِرًا، طُولُهُ عِشْرُونَ ذِرَاعًا، وَعَرْضُهُ عَشَرُ أَذْرُعٍ». ٢ 2
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.
فَقَالَ لِي: «هَذِهِ هِيَ ٱللَّعْنَةُ ٱلْخَارِجَةُ عَلَى وَجْهِ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ. لِأَنَّ كُلَّ سَارِقٍ يُبَادُ مِنْ هُنَا بِحَسَبِهَا، وَكُلَّ حَالِفٍ يُبَادُ مِنْ هُنَاكَ بِحَسَبِهَا. ٣ 3
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 purged out on the one side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be purged out on the other side according to it.
إِنِّي أُخْرِجُهَا، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، فَتَدْخُلُ بَيْتَ ٱلسَّارِقِ وَبَيْتَ ٱلْحَالِفِ بِٱسْمِي زُورًا، وَتَبِيتُ فِي وَسَطِ بَيْتِهِ وَتُفْنِيهِ مَعَ خَشَبِهِ وَحِجَارَتِهِ». ٤ 4
I will 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.
ثُمَّ خَرَجَ ٱلْمَلَاكُ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَنِي وَقَالَ لِي: «ٱرْفَعْ عَيْنَيْكَ وَٱنْظُرْ مَا هَذَا ٱلْخَارِجُ». ٥ 5
Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth.
فَقُلْتُ: «مَا هُوَ؟» فَقَالَ: «هَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْإِيفَةُ ٱلْخَارِجَةُ». وَقَالَ: «هَذِهِ عَيْنُهُمْ فِي كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ». ٦ 6
And I said, What is it? And he said, This is the ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance in all the land:
وَإِذَا بِوَزْنَةِ رَصَاصٍ رُفِعَتْ. وَكَانَتِ ٱمْرَأَةٌ جَالِسَةٌ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْإِيفَةِ. ٧ 7
(and behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: ) and this is a woman sitting in the midst of the ephah.
فَقَالَ: «هَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلشَّرُّ». فَطَرَحَهَا إِلَى وَسَطِ ٱلْإِيفَةِ، وَطَرَحَ ثِقْلَ ٱلرَّصَاصِ عَلَى فَمِهَا. ٨ 8
And he said, This is Wickedness; and he cast her down into the midst of the ephah: and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.
وَرَفَعْتُ عَيْنَيَّ وَنَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا بِٱمْرَأَتَيْنِ خَرَجَتَا وَٱلرِّيحُ فِي أَجْنِحَتِهِمَا، وَلَهُمَا أَجْنِحَةٌ كَأَجْنِحَةِ ٱللَّقْلَقِ، فَرَفَعَتَا ٱلْإِيفَةَ بَيْنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱلسَّمَاءِ. ٩ 9
Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold, there came forth two women, and the wind was in their wings; now they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven.
فَقُلْتُ لِلْمَلَاكِ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَنِي: «إِلَى أَيْنَ هُمَا ذَاهِبَتَانِ بِٱلْإِيفَةِ؟» ١٠ 10
Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah?
فَقَالَ لِي: «لِتَبْنِيَا لَهَا بَيْتًا فِي أَرْضِ شِنْعَارَ. وَإِذَا تَهَيَّأَ تَقِرُّ هُنَاكَ عَلَى قَاعِدَتِهَا». ١١ 11
And he said unto me, To build her an house in the land of Shinar: and when it is prepared, she shall be set there in her own place.
