Zechariah 5
1 And I turned and lifted up my eyes. And I saw, and behold, a book flying.
Aku melayangkan mataku pula, maka aku melihat: tampak sebuah gulungan kitab yang terbang.
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.”
Berkatalah ia kepadaku: "Apa yang engkau lihat?" Jawabku: "Aku melihat sebuah gulungan kitab yang terbang; panjangnya dua puluh hasta dan lebarnya sepuluh hasta."
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.”
Lalu ia berkata kepadaku: "Inilah sumpah serapah yang keluar menimpa seluruh negeri; sebab menurut sumpah serapah itu setiap pencuri di sini masih bebas dari hukuman, dan setiap orang yang bersumpah palsu di sini juga masih bebas dari hukuman.
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.
Aku telah menyuruhnya keluar, demikianlah firman TUHAN semesta alam, supaya itu masuk ke dalam rumah pencuri dan ke dalam rumah orang yang bersumpah palsu demi nama-Ku, dan supaya itu bermalam di dalam rumah mereka dan memusnahkannya, baik kayunya maupun batu-batunya."
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.”
Tampillah malaikat yang berbicara dengan aku itu, katanya kepadaku: "Cobalah layangkan matamu dan lihatlah apa yang muncul itu!"
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.”
Lalu tanyaku: "Apa itu?" Jawabnya: "Yang muncul itu sebuah gantang!" Lagi katanya: "Inilah kejahatan mereka di seluruh negeri!"
7 And behold, a talent of lead was being carried; and behold, one woman sitting in the middle of the container.
Lihat, tutup timah gantang itu telah terangkat, dan seorang perempuan duduk di dalamnya!
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.
Kemudian berkatalah ia: "Itulah kefasikan!" Lalu didorongnyalah perempuan itu kembali ke dalam gantang dan dibantingnyalah batu timah itu ke mulut gantang.
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.
Lalu aku melayangkan mataku dan aku melihat: tampak tampil dua orang perempuan yang sayapnya didorong oleh angin. Adapun sayap mereka adalah sayap seperti burung ranggung. Mereka mengangkut gantang itu di antara bumi dan langit.
10 And I said to the angel who was speaking with me, “Where are they taking the container?”
Bertanyalah aku kepada malaikat yang berbicara dengan aku itu: "Ke mana mereka membawa gantang itu?"
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.”
Jawabnya kepadaku: "Ke tanah Sinear, untuk mendirikan sebuah rumah bagi perempuan itu. Dan apabila itu selesai, maka mereka akan menempatkan dia di sana di tempat rumah itu didirikan."
