Zacarías 5
Rotherham Emphasized Bible (1902)
1And once more lifted I mine eyes, and looked,—and lo! a Flying Volume.
2And he said unto me, What canst thou see? So I said, I, can see a flying volume, the length thereof, twenty by the cubit, and, the breadth thereof, ten by the cubit.
3Then said he unto me, This, is the curse, which is going forth over the face of all the earth,—Because, every one who stealeth, on the one side, hath in one way been let off, and, every one who sweareth, on the other side, hath in another way been let off,
4therefore have I brought it forth, Declareth Yahweh of hosts, And it shall enter—into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth by my name, falsely,—and it shall roost in the midst of his house, and shall consume it, both the timbers thereof, and the stones thereof.
5Then came forward, the messenger who was talking with me,—and said unto me—Lift up, I pray thee, thine eyes, and see what this is which is coming forth.
6And I said, What is it? Then said he, This, is an ephah that is coming forth. And he said, This, is their iniquity, throughout all the land.
7And lo! a leaden disc uplifted,—and here a certain woman, sitting inside the ephah.
8Then said he, This, is Lawlessness. So he thrust her back inside the ephah,—and then thrust the leaden weight into the mouth thereof.
9Then lifted I up mine eyes and looked, and lo! Two Women coming forward, with the wind in their wings, and, they, had wings, like the wings of the stork,—and bare up the ephah, between the earth and the heavens.
10Then said I unto the messenger who was speaking with me,—Whither are they carrying the ephah?
11And he said unto me, To build for it a house in the land of Shinar,—so shall it be ready, and they shall settle it there, upon its own base?
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y TORNÉME, y alcé mis ojos, y miré, y he aquí un rollo que volaba.
2Y díjome: ¿Qué ves? Y respondí: Veo un rollo que vuela, de veinte codos de largo, y diez codos de ancho.
3Díjome entonces: Esta es la maldición que sale sobre la haz de toda la tierra; porque todo aquel que hurta, (como está de la una parte del rollo) será destruído; y todo aquel que jura, (como está de la otra parte del rollo) será destruído.
4Yo la saqué, dice Jehová de los ejércitos, y vendrá á la casa del ladrón, y á la casa del que jura falsamente en mi nombre; y permanecerá en medio de su casa, y consumirála, con sus enmaderamientos y sus piedras.
5Y salió aquel ángel que hablaba conmigo, y díjome: Alza ahora tus ojos, y mira qué es esto que sale.
6Y dije: ¿Qué es? Y él dijo: Este es un epha que sale. Además dijo: Este es el ojo de ellos en toda la tierra.
7Y he aquí, traían un talento de plomo, y una mujer estaba asentada en medio de aquel epha.
8Y él dijo: Esta es la Maldad; y echóla dentro del epha, y echó la masa de plomo en su boca.
9Alcé luego mis ojos, y miré, y he aquí dos mujeres que salían, y traían viento en sus alas, y tenían alas como de cigüeña, y alzaron el epha entre la tierra y los cielos.
10Y dije al ángel que hablaba conmigo: ¿A dónde llevan el epha?
11Y él me respondió: Para que le sea edificada casa en tierra de Shinar: y será asentado y puesto allá sobre su asiento.
King James Version
1Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll.
2And 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.
3Then 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.
4I 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.
5Then 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.
6And 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.
7And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.
8And 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.
9Then 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.
10Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah?
11And 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.
World English Bible
1Then again I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, a flying scroll.
2He said to me, “What do you see?” I answered, “I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty cubits, and its width ten cubits.”
3Then 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.
4I will cause it to go out,” says the LORD 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.”
5Then 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.”
6I 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—
7and behold, a lead cover weighing one talent was lifted up—and there was a woman sitting in the middle of the ephah basket.”
8He 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.
9Then 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.
10Then I said to the angel who talked with me, “Where are these carrying the ephah basket?”
11He 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.”
