< Zechariah 5 >

1 And I turned and lifted up my eyes. And I saw, and behold, a book flying.
我又舉目觀看,見有一飛行的書卷。
2 And he said to me, “What do you see?” And I said, “I see a book flying. Its length is twenty cubits, and its width is ten cubits.”
他問我說:「你看見甚麼?」我回答說:「我看見一飛行的書卷,長二十肘,寬十肘。」
3 And he said to me, “This is the curse that goes forth over the face of the whole earth. For every thief will be judged, just as it has been written there, and everyone who swears by this, will be judged in like manner.”
他對我說:「這是發出行在遍地上的咒詛。凡偷竊的必按卷上這面的話除滅;凡起假誓的必按卷上那面的話除滅。
4 I will bring it forth, says the Lord of hosts, and it will approach to the house of the thief, and to the house of him who swears falsely by my name, and it will remain in the midst of his house and will consume it, with its wood and its stones.
萬軍之耶和華說:我必使這書卷出去,進入偷竊人的家和指我名起假誓人的家,必常在他家裏,連房屋帶木石都毀滅了。」
5 And the angel had departed, who was speaking with me. And he said to me, “Lift up your eyes, and see what this is, that goes forth.”
與我說話的天使出來,對我說:「你要舉目觀看,見所出來的是甚麼?」
6 And I said, “What, then, is it?” And he said, “This is a container going forth.” And he said, “This is their eye in all the earth.”
我說:「這是甚麼呢?」他說:「這出來的是量器。」他又說:「這是惡人在遍地的形狀。」
7 And behold, a talent of lead was being carried; and behold, one woman sitting in the middle of the container.
(我見有一片圓鉛被舉起來。)這坐在量器中的是個婦人。
8 And he said, “This is impiety.” And he cast her into the middle of the container, and he sent the weight of lead into its mouth.
天使說:「這是罪惡。」他就把婦人扔在量器中,將那片圓鉛扔在量器的口上。
9 And I lifted up my eyes and I saw. And behold, two women were departing, and a spirit was in their wings, and they had wings like the wings of a kite, and they lifted up the container between earth and heaven.
我又舉目觀看,見有兩個婦人出來,在她們翅膀中有風,飛得甚快,翅膀如同鸛鳥的翅膀。她們將量器抬起來,懸在天地中間。
10 And I said to the angel who was speaking with me, “Where are they taking the container?”
我問與我說話的天使說:「她們要將量器抬到哪裏去呢?」
11 And he said to me, “To a house that may be built for it in the land of Shinar, and so that it may be established and set there upon its own base.”
他對我說:「要往示拿地去,為它蓋造房屋;等房屋齊備,就把它安置在自己的地方。」
