Zaharija 5

1 Podigoh opet oči i vidjeh: leti svitak knjige.

Then I turned and lifted my eyes, and I saw, behold, a flying scroll!

2 Anđeo me upita: “Što vidiš?” Odgovorih: “Vidim svitak knjige gdje leti: dužina joj je dvadeset lakata, a širina deset.”

The angel said to me, “What do you see?” I answered, “I see a flying scroll, twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide.”

3 On mi tad reče: “To je prokletstvo koje će zahvatiti svu zemlju; odsad, svaki koji krade bit će po njem izgnan odavde i svaki koji krivo priseže bit će po njem odavde protjeran.

Then he said to me, “This is the curse that goes out over the surface of the whole land. For every thief will be cut off according to what it says on the one side, and everyone who swears a false oath will be cut off according to what it says on the other side.

4 Ja ću ga izvesti - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama - da uđe u kuću lupežu i u kuću onome koji se krivo kune mojim imenom te da boravi usred njegove kuće i uništi je skupa s njenim drvljem i kamenjem.”

“I will send it out—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts—so it will enter into the house of the thief and into the house of the one that swears falsely by my name. It will remain in his house and consume its timber and stones.”

5 Anđeo koji je govorio sa mnom iziđe i reče mi: “Podigni oči i pogledaj što se to pojavljuje.”

Then the angel who was speaking with me went out and said to me, “Raise your eyes and see what is coming!”

6 Ja ga upitah: “Što je to?” On reče: “To se pojavljuje efa.” I nastavi: “To je opća pokvarenost na zemlji.”

I said, “What is it?” He said, “This is a basket containing an ephah that is coming. This is their iniquity in the whole land.”

7 I gle, podiže se olovan poklopac i jedna žena sjedi usred efe.

Then a lead covering was lifted off the basket and there was a woman under it sitting in it!

8 On reče: “To je zloća.” I gurnu je u efu i baci joj na otvor olovni poklopac.

The angel said, “This is Wickedness!” He threw her back inside the basket, and he threw the lead cover over its opening.

9 Podigavši oči, vidjeh: dvije žene izlaze s vjetrom u krilima, a krila im bijahu kao krila rode; one podigoše efu između zemlje i neba.

I lifted my eyes and saw two women coming toward me, and wind was in their wings—for they had wings like a stork's wings. They lifted up the basket between earth and heaven.

10 Upitah tad anđela koji je govorio sa mnom: “Kamo odnose efu?”

So I said to the angel who was talking to me, “Where are they taking the basket?”

11 On mi odgovori: “Da joj sagrade hram u zemlji šinearskoj i da joj pripreme postolje na koje će je postaviti.”

He said to me, “To build a temple in the land of Shinar for it, so that when the temple is ready, the basket will be set there on its prepared base.”
