Zechariah 5
1 Then again I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, a flying scroll.
| وَعُدْتُ وَرَفَعْتُ عَيْنَيَّ وَإذَا بِي أُشَاهِدُ دَرْجاً طَائِراً. | ١ |
2 He said to me, “What do you see?” I answered, “I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty cubits, and its width ten cubits.”
| فَسَأَلَنِي الْمَلاكُ: «مَاذَا تَرَى؟» فَأَجَبْتُ: «أَرَى دَرْجاً طَائِراً، طُولُهُ عِشْرُونَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ عَشَرَةِ أَمْتَارٍ) وَعَرْضُهُ عَشْرُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةِ أَمْتَارٍ)». | ٢ |
3 Then he said to me, “This is the curse that goes out over the surface of the whole land, for everyone who steals shall be cut off according to it on the one side; and everyone who swears falsely shall be cut off according to it on the other side.
| فَقَالَ لِي: «هَذِهِ هِيَ اللَّعْنَةُ الْمُنْصَبَّةُ عَلَى وَجْهِ الْأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا. كُلُّ مَنْ يَسْرِقُ يُسْتَأْصَلُ بِمُقْتَضَى مَا هُوَ مُدَوَّنٌ فِيهَا، وَكُلُّ حَالِفِ زُورٍ يُعَاقَبُ بِمُوْجِبِ مَا هُوَ مَنْصُوصٌ فِيهَا». | ٣ |
4 I will cause it to go out,” says Yahweh of Armies, “and it will enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him who swears falsely by my name; and it will remain in the middle of his house, and will destroy it with its timber and its stones.”
| وَيَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: «إِنِّي أَصُبُّ هَذِهِ اللَّعْنَةَ عَلَى بَيْتِ كُلِّ سَارِقٍ أَوْ حَالِفٍ بِاسْمِي زُوراً، فَتَحُلُّ فِي وَسَطِ بَيْتِهِ وَتُبِيدُهُ مَعَ خَشَبِهِ وَحَجَرِهِ». | ٤ |
5 Then the angel who talked with me came forward and said to me, “Lift up now your eyes and see what this is that is appearing.”
| ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي الْمَلاكُ الَّذِي كَلَّمَنِي: «ارْفَعْ عَيْنَيْكَ وَانْظُرْ إِلَى هَذَا الشَّيْءِ الْمُقْبِلِ». | ٥ |
6 I said, “What is it?” He said, “This is the ephah basket that is appearing.” He said moreover, “This is their appearance in all the land—
| فَسَأَلْتُ: «مَا هَذَا؟» فَأَجَابَ: «إِنَّهُ مِكْيَالٌ، وَهُوَ رَمْزُ إِثْمِهِمْ فِي الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا». | ٦ |
7 and behold, a lead cover weighing one talent was lifted up—and there was a woman sitting in the middle of the ephah basket.”
| وَمَا لَبِثَ أَنْ رُفِعَ الْغِطَاءُ الرَّصَاصِيُّ مِنْ عَلَى فُوَّهَتِهِ، وَإذَا بِامْرَأَةٍ جَالِسَةٍ فِي دَاخِلِ الْمِكْيَالِ. | ٧ |
8 He said, “This is Wickedness;” and he threw her down into the middle of the ephah basket; and he threw the lead weight on its mouth.
| فَقَالَ لِي: «هَذِهِ هِيَ رَمْزُ الشَّرِّ»، وَأَلْقَى بِها إِلَى دَاخِلِ الْمِكْيَالِ، وَأَلْقَى الْغِطَاءَ الثَّقِيلَ عَلَى فُوَّهَتِهِ. | ٨ |
9 Then I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, there were two women; and the wind was in their wings. Now they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ephah basket between earth and the sky.
| ثُمَّ نَظَرْتُ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى فَرَأَيْتُ امْرَأَتَيْنِ مُقْبِلَتَيْنِ لَهُمَا أَجْنِحَةٌ كَأَجْنِحَةِ اللَّقْلَقِ، مَحْمُولَتَيْنِ عَلَى أَمْوَاجِ الرِّيحِ، فَرَفَعَتَا الْمِكْيَالَ وَحَلَّقَتَا بِهِ بَيْنَ الأَرْضِ وَالسَّمَاءِ. | ٩ |
10 Then I said to the angel who talked with me, “Where are these carrying the ephah basket?”
| فَسَأَلْتُ الْمَلاكَ الَّذِي كَلَّمَنِي: «إِلَى أَيْنَ مَضَتَا بِالْمِكْيَالِ؟» | ١٠ |
11 He said to me, “To build her a house in the land of Shinar. When it is prepared, she will be set there in her own place.”
| فَأَجَابَنِي: «إِلَى أَرْضِ شِنْعَارَ لِتُشَيِّدَا لَهُ هَيْكَلاً حَتَّى إِذَا تَمَّ بِنَاؤُهُ يَسْتَقِرُّ الْمِكْيَالُ فِيهِ عَلَى قَاعِدَتِهِ». | ١١ |
