< زَكَريَّا 5 >

فَعُدْتُ وَرَفَعْتُ عَيْنَيَّ وَنَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا بِدَرْجٍ طَائِرٍ. ١ 1
Then I turned, and lifted up my eyes, and looked, 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 to me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; its length [is] twenty cubits, and its breadth 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 to me, This [is] the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off [as] on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off [as] on that 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 bring it 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 remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with its timber and its stones.
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 to me, Lift up now thy 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] an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This [is] their resemblance through all the earth.
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 that sitteth 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 it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon its mouth.
وَرَفَعْتُ عَيْنَيَّ وَنَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا بِٱمْرَأَتَيْنِ خَرَجَتَا وَٱلرِّيحُ فِي أَجْنِحَتِهِمَا، وَلَهُمَا أَجْنِحَةٌ كَأَجْنِحَةِ ٱللَّقْلَقِ، فَرَفَعَتَا ٱلْإِيفَةَ بَيْنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱلسَّمَاءِ. ٩ 9
Then I lifted up my eyes, and looked and behold, there came out two women, and the wind [was] in their wings; for 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 to me, To build for it a house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.
