< Zacharias 5 >

1 And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked and behold a flying sickle.
et conversus sum et levavi oculos meos et vidi et ecce volumen volans
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.
et dixit ad me quid tu vides et dixi ego video volumen volans longitudo eius viginti cubitorum et latitudo eius decem cubitorum
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.
et dixit ad me haec est maledictio quae egreditur super faciem omnis terrae quia omnis fur sicut ibi scriptum est iudicabitur et omnis iurans ex hoc similiter iudicabitur
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.
educam illud dicit Dominus exercituum et veniet ad domum furis et ad domum iurantis in nomine meo mendaciter et commorabitur in medio domus eius et consumet eam et ligna eius et lapides eius
5 And the angel that talked with me went forth, and said to me, Lift up your eyes, and see this that goes forth.
et egressus est angelus qui loquebatur in me et dixit ad me leva oculos tuos et vide quid est hoc quod egreditur
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.
et dixi quidnam est et ait haec est amphora egrediens et dixit haec est oculus eorum in universa terra
7 And behold a talent of lead lifted up: and behold a woman sat in the midst of the measure.
et ecce talentum plumbi portabatur et ecce mulier una sedens in medio amphorae
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.
et dixit haec est impietas et proiecit eam in medio amphorae et misit massam plumbeam in os eius
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.
et levavi oculos meos et vidi et ecce duae mulieres egredientes et spiritus in alis earum et habebant alas quasi alas milvi et levaverunt amphoram inter terram et caelum
10 And I said to the angel that spoke with me, Whither do these carry away the measure?
et dixi ad angelum qui loquebatur in me quo istae deferunt amphoram
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.
et dixit ad me ut aedificetur ei domus in terra Sennaar et stabiliatur et ponatur ibi super basem suam
