1 Then again I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, a flying scroll. 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."

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. 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."

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."

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— 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." 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.

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. 10 Then I said to the angel who talked with me, "Where are these carrying the ephah basket?"

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."

1 我又举目观看， 看见有一卷飞行的书卷。

2 他问我： "你看见什么？"我回答： "我看见一卷飞行的书卷， 长十公尺， 宽五公尺。"

3 他对我说： "这是向全地发出的咒诅： 凡偷盗的必照着书卷这面所写的被清除； 凡起假誓的必照着那面所记的被清除。

4 万军之耶和华说： ‘我要使这书卷出去， 进入盗贼的家和指着我的名起假誓之人的家， 这书卷必留在他的家中， 要把他家里的木料和石头都毁灭（这是万军之耶和华说的）。’"

5 那与我说话的天使又出来对我说： "你要举目观看， 看看这出来的是什么？"

6 我说： "这是什么？"他回答： "这出来的是个量器。"他又说： "这是他们在全地上的罪孽（"罪孽"有抄本作"样子"）。"

7 看哪！ 量器的圆形铅盖被揭开， 有一个妇人坐在量器里面。

8 天使说： "这是罪恶。"然后他把那妇人掷回量器中， 又把那铅盖丢在量器的口上。

9 我又举目观看， 看见有两个妇人出来。她们有翅膀， 好像鹳鸟的翅膀； 她们的翅膀之下有风。她们把那量器抬起， 抬到天地之间。

10 我问那与我说话的天使： "她们要把量器带到哪里去呢？"

11 他回答我： "要在示拿地为那量器建造房子； 房子预备好了， 就在那里把它安放在它自己的地方。"
