The Prophecy of Zacharias
Chapter 5
| |
5:1 And I turned, and lifted up my eyes: and I saw, and behold a volume flying. Et conversus sum, et levavi oculos meos, et vidi, et ecce volumen volans.
|
|
5:2 And he said to me: What seest thou? And I said: I see a volume flying: the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits. Et dixit ad me: Quid tu vides? Et dixi: Ego video volumen volans: longitudo ejus viginti cubitorum, et latitudo ejus decem cubitorum.
|
|
5:3 And he said to me: This is the curse, that goeth forth over the face of the earth: for every thief shall be judged, as is there written: and every one that sweareth, in like manner shall be judged by it. Et dixit ad me: Hæc est maledictio quæ egreditur super faciem omnis terræ: quia omnis fur, sicut ibi scriptum est, judicabitur, et omnis jurans ex hoc similiter judicabitur.
|
|
5:4 I will bring it forth, saith the Lord of hosts: and it shall come to the house of the thief, and to 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. Educam illud, dicit Dominus exercituum: et veniet ad domum furis, et ad domum jurantis in nomine meo mendaciter: et commorabitur in medio domus ejus, et consumet eam, et ligna ejus, et lapides ejus.
|
|
5:5 And the angel went forth that spoke in me: and he said to me: Lift up thy eyes, and see what this is, that goeth forth. Et egressus est angelus qui loquebatur in me, et dixit ad me: Leva oculos tuos, et vide quid est hoc quod egreditur.
|
|
5:6 And I said: What is it? And he said: This is a vessel going forth. And he said: This is their eye in all the earth. Et dixi: Quidnam est? Et ait: Hæc est amphora egrediens. Et dixit: Hæc est oculus eorum in universa terra.
|
|
5:7 And behold, a talent of lead was carried, and behold, a woman sitting in the midst of the vessel. Et ecce talentum plumbi portabatur, et ecce mulier una sedens in medio amphoræ.
|
|
5:8 And he said: This is wickedness. And he cast her into the midst of the vessel, and cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof. Et dixit: Hæc est impietas. Et projecit eam in medio amphoræ, et misit massam plumbeam in os ejus.
|
|
5:9 And I lifted up my eyes, and looked: and behold, there came out two women, and wind was in their wings, and they had wings like the wings of a kite: and they lifted up the vessel between the earth and the heaven. Et levavi oculos meos, et vidi: et ecce duæ mulieres egredientes: et spiritus in alis earum, et habebant alas quasi alas milvi, et levaverunt amphoram inter terram et cælum.
|
|
5:10 And I said to the angel that spoke in me: Whither do these carry the vessel? Et dixi ad angelum qui loquebatur in me: Quo istæ deferunt amphoram?
|
|
5:11 And he said to me: That a house may be built for it in the land of Sennaar, and that it may be established, and set there upon its own basis. Et dixit ad me: Ut ædificetur ei domus in terra Sennaar, et stabiliatur, et ponatur ibi super basem suam.
