Prophetia Zachariae, 5
1. Et conversus sum et levavi ocu los meos et vidi: et ecce volu men volans.
1. Again I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, a flying scroll!
2. Et dixit ad me: “Quid tu vides?”. Et dixi: “Ego video volumen volans; longitudo eius viginti cubitorum et latitudo eius decem cubitorum”.
2. And he said to me, "What do you see?" I answered, "I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty cubits, and its breadth ten cubits."
3. Et dixit ad me: “Haec est maledictio, quae egreditur super faciem omnis terrae; quia omnis fur hinc iuxta illud expurgatur, et omnis periurus illinc iuxta illud expurgatur.
3. Then he said to me, "This is the curse that goes out over the face of the whole land; for every one who steals shall be cut off henceforth according to it, and every one who swears falsely shall be cut off henceforth according to it.
4. Educo illud, dicit Dominus exercituum, et veniet ad domum furis et ad domum iurantis in nomine meo mendaciter; et commorabitur in medio domus eius, et consumet eam et ligna eius et lapides eius”.
4. I will send it forth, says the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter the house of the thief, and the house of him who swears falsely by my name; and it shall abide in his house and consume it, both timber and stones."
5. Et egressus est angelus, qui loquebatur in me, et dixit ad me: “Leva, quaeso, oculos tuos et vide. Quid est hoc, quod egreditur?”.
5. Then the angel who talked with me came forward and said to me, "Lift your eyes, and see what this is that goes forth."
6. Et dixi: “Quidnam est?”. Et ait: “Haec est epha egrediens”. Et dixit: “Hoc est peccatum eorum in universa terra”.
6. And I said, "What is it?" He said, "This is the ephah that goes forth." And he said, "This is their iniquity in all the land."
7. Et ecce operculum plumbi elevatum est, et ecce mulier una sedens in medio ephae.
7. And behold, the leaden cover was lifted, and there was a woman sitting in the ephah!
8. Et dixit: “Haec est impietas”. Et proiecit eam in epham et misit massam plumbeam in os eius.
8. And he said, "This is Wickedness." And he thrust her back into the ephah, and thrust down the leaden weight upon its mouth.
9. Et levavi oculos meos et vidi: et ecce duae mulieres egredientes, et ventus in alis earum, et habebant alas quasi alas milvi; et levaverunt epham inter terram et caelum.
9. Then I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, two women coming forward! The wind was in their wings; they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ephah between earth and heaven.
10. Et dixi ad angelum, qui loquebatur in me: “Quo istae deferunt epham?”.
10. Then I said to the angel who talked with me, "Where are they taking the ephah?"
11. Et dixit ad me: “Ut aedificetur ei domus in terra Sennaar; et, postquam constructa fuerit, ponetur ibi super basem suam”.
11. He said to me, "To the land of Shinar, to build a house for it; and when this is prepared, they will set the ephah down there on its base."
