Zechariah 5

فَعُدْتُ وَرَفَعْتُ عَيْنَيَّ وَنَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا بِدَرْجٍ طَائِرٍ.

Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll.

فَقَالَ لِي: «مَاذَا تَرَى؟» فَقُلْتُ: «إِنِّي أَرَى دَرْجًا طَائِرًا، طُولُهُ عِشْرُونَ ذِرَاعًا، وَعَرْضُهُ عَشَرُ أَذْرُعٍ».

And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.

فَقَالَ لِي: «هذِهِ هِيَ اللَّعْنَةُ الْخَارِجَةُ عَلَى وَجْهِ كُلِّ الأَرْضِ. لأَنَّ كُلَّ سَارِق يُبَادُ مِنْ هُنَا بِحَسَبِهَا، وَكُلَّ حَالِفٍ يُبَادُ مِنْ هُنَاكَ بِحَسَبِهَا.

Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it.

إِنِّي أُخْرِجُهَا، يَقُولُ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ، فَتَدْخُلُ بَيْتَ السَّارِقِ وَبَيْتَ الْحَالِفِ بِاسْمِي زُورًا، وَتَبِيتُ فِي وَسَطِ بَيْتِهِ وَتُفْنِيهِ مَعَ خَشَبِهِ وَحِجَارَتِهِ».

I will bring it forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.

ثُمَّ خَرَجَ الْمَلاَكُ الَّذِي كَلَّمَنِي وَقَالَ لِي: «ارْفَعْ عَيْنَيْكَ وَانْظُرْ مَا هذَا الْخَارِجُ».

Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth.

فَقُلْتُ: «مَا هُوَ؟» فَقَالَ: «هذِهِ هِيَ الإِيفَةُ الْخَارِجَةُ». وَقَالَ: «هذِهِ عَيْنُهُمْ فِي كُلِّ الأَرْضِ».

And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance through all the earth.

وَإِذَا بِوَزْنَةِ رَصَاصٍ رُفِعَتْ. وَكَانَتِ امْرَأَةٌ جَالِسَةٌ فِي وَسَطِ الإِيفَةِ.

And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.

فَقَالَ: «هذِهِ هِيَ الشَّرُّ». فَطَرَحَهَا إِلَى وَسَطِ الإِيفَةِ، وَطَرَحَ ثِقْلَ الرَّصَاصِ عَلَى فَمِهَا.

And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.

وَرَفَعْتُ عَيْنَيَّ وَنَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا بِامْرَأَتَيْنِ خَرَجَتَا وَالرِّيحُ فِي أَجْنِحَتِهِمَا، وَلَهُمَا أَجْنِحَةٌ كَأَجْنِحَةِ اللَّقْلَقِ، فَرَفَعَتَا الإِيفَةَ بَيْنَ الأَرْضِ وَالسَّمَاءِ.

Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven.

فَقُلْتُ لِلْمَلاَكِ الَّذِي كَلَّمَنِي: «إِلَى أَيْنَ هُمَا ذَاهِبَتَانِ بِالإِيفَةِ؟»

Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah?

فَقَالَ لِي: «لِتَبْنِيَا لَهَا بَيْتًا فِي أَرْضِ شِنْعَارَ. وَإِذَا تَهَيَّأَ تَقِرُّ هُنَاكَ عَلَى قَاعِدَتِهَا».

And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.
