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。"
