1 Then again lifting up my eyes I saw a roll in flight through the air.2 And he said to me, What do you see? And I said, A roll going through the air; it is twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide.3 Then he said to me, This is the curse which goes out over the face of all the land: for long enough has every thief gone without punishment, and long enough has every taker of false oaths gone without punishment.4 And I will send it out, says the Lord of armies, and it will go into the house of the thief and into the house of him who takes a false oath by my name: and it will be in his house, causing its complete destruction, with its woodwork and its stones.5 And the angel who was talking to me went out and said to me, Let your eyes be lifted up now, and see the ephah which is going out.6 And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah which is going out. And he said further, This is their evil-doing in all the land.7 And I saw a round cover of lead lifted up; and a woman was seated in the middle of the ephah.8 And he said, This is Sin; and pushing her down into the ephah, he put the weight of lead on the mouth of it.9 And lifting up my eyes I saw two women coming out, and the wind was in their wings; and they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they took the ephah, lifting it up between earth and heaven.10 And I said to the angel who was talking to me, Where are they taking the ephah?11 And he said to me, To make a house for her in the land of Shinar: and they will make a place ready, and put her there in the place which is hers.

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。"
