Zacharias 5

1 And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked and behold a flying sickle.

Podigoh opet oči i vidjeh: leti svitak knjige.

2 And he said to me, What see you? And I said, I see a flying sickle, of the length of twenty cubits, and of the breadth of ten cubits.

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

3 And he said to me, This is the curse that goes forth over the face of the whole earth: for every thief shall be punished with death on this side, and every false swearer shall be punished on that side.

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.

4 And I will bring it forth, says the Lord Almighty, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that swears falsely by my name: and it shall rest in the midst of his house, and shall consume it, and the timber of it, and the stones of it.

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.”

5 And the angel that talked with me went forth, and said to me, Lift up your eyes, and see this that goes forth.

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

6 And I said, What is it? And he said, This is the measure that goes forth. And he said, This is their iniquity in all the earth.

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

7 And behold a talent of lead lifted up: and behold a woman sat in the midst of the measure.

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

8 And he said, This is iniquity. And he cast it into the midst of the measure, and cast the weight of lead on the mouth of it.

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

9 And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, two women coming forth, and the wind was in their wings; and they had stork's wings: and they lifted up the measure between the earth and the sky.

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

10 And I said to the angel that spoke with me, Whither do these carry away the measure?

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

11 And he said to me, To build it a house in the land of Babylon, and to prepare [a place for it]; and they shall set it there on its own base.

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