Xê-ca-ri-a 5
Vietnamese Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
Sự hiện thấy về cuộn sách bay
5 Tôi nhìn lên lần nữa và thấy một cuộn sách bay.
2 Thiên sứ hỏi tôi, “Ngươi thấy gì?”
Tôi đáp, “Tôi thấy một cuộn sách bay, dài chín thước, rộng bốn thước.”
3 Người bảo tôi, “Đây là điều nguyền rủa cho khắp xứ. Một mặt sách nói rằng mọi kẻ trộm cắp sẽ bị diệt đi. Mặt kia nói rằng những ai hứa dối cũng sẽ bị diệt. 4 CHÚA Toàn Năng phán, ‘Ta sẽ sai điều nguyền rủa đến cho nhà các kẻ trộm và cho những ai nhân danh ta mà thề dối. Cuộn sách sẽ nằm trong nhà những kẻ ấy, tiêu diệt các nhà đó, từ gỗ cho đến đá.’”
Sự hiện thấy về người đàn bà và cái thùng đo lường
5 Rồi thiên sứ đang nói với tôi bước đến bảo tôi, “Hãy ngước lên nhìn xem có vật gì đang đi ra.”
6 Tôi hỏi, “Vật gì vậy?”
Người đáp, “Đó là một cái thùng đo lường.”
Người tiếp, “Nó dùng để đo lường tội lỗi của dân chúng trong xứ nầy.”
7 Rồi một cái nắp bằng chì được mở lên, và có người đàn bà ngồi trong cái giỏ. 8 Thiên sứ bảo, “Người đàn bà tượng trưng cho điều ác.” Rồi người đẩy người đàn bà vào trong giỏ và đóng nắp chì lại.
9 Khi tôi nhìn lên thì thấy hai người đàn bà đi ra cùng với gió trên cánh họ. Cánh họ giống như cánh cò, rồi họ nhấc cái giỏ lên giữa trời và đất.
10 Tôi hỏi thiên sứ đang nói chuyện với tôi, “Họ mang cái giỏ đi đâu vậy?”
11 Người đáp, “Họ mang cái giỏ đi qua Ba-by-lôn [a] để xây một cái miếu cho nó. Khi xây xong, họ sẽ đặt cái giỏ vào đó.”

The Flying Scroll
5 I looked again, and there before me was a flying scroll.(A)
2 He asked me, “What do you see?”(B)
I answered, “I see a flying scroll, twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide.[a]”
3 And he said to me, “This is the curse(C) that is going out over the whole land; for according to what it says on one side, every thief(D) will be banished, and according to what it says on the other, everyone who swears falsely(E) will be banished. 4 The Lord Almighty declares, ‘I will send it out, and it will enter the house of the thief and the house of anyone who swears falsely(F) by my name. It will remain in that house and destroy it completely, both its timbers and its stones.(G)’”
The Woman in a Basket
5 Then the angel who was speaking to me came forward and said to me, “Look up and see what is appearing.”
6 I asked, “What is it?”
He replied, “It is a basket.(H)” And he added, “This is the iniquity[b] of the people throughout the land.”
7 Then the cover of lead was raised, and there in the basket sat a woman! 8 He said, “This is wickedness,” and he pushed her back into the basket and pushed its lead cover down on it.(I)
9 Then I looked up—and there before me were two women, with the wind in their wings! They had wings like those of a stork,(J) and they lifted up the basket between heaven and earth.
10 “Where are they taking the basket?” I asked the angel who was speaking to me.
11 He replied, “To the country of Babylonia[c](K) to build a house(L) for it. When the house is ready, the basket will be set there in its place.”(M)

Vision of the Flying Scroll
5 Then I turned and raised my eyes, and saw there a flying (A)scroll.
2 And he said to me, “What do you see?”
So 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 (B)curse that goes out over the face of the whole earth: ‘Every thief shall be expelled,’ according to this side of the scroll; and, ‘Every perjurer shall be expelled,’ according to that side of it.”
4 “I will send out the curse,” says the Lord of hosts;
“It shall enter the house of the (C)thief
And the house of (D)the one who swears falsely by My name.
It shall remain in the midst of his house
And consume (E)it, with its timber and stones.”
Vision of the Woman in a Basket
5 Then the angel who talked with me came out and said to me, “Lift your eyes now, and see what this is that goes forth.”
6 So I asked, “What is it?” And he said, “It is a [a]basket that is going forth.”
He also said, “This is their resemblance throughout the earth: 7 Here is a lead disc lifted up, and this is a woman sitting inside the basket”; 8 then he said, “This is Wickedness!” And he thrust her down into the basket, and threw the lead [b]cover over its mouth. 9 Then I raised my eyes and looked, and there were two women, coming with the wind in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a (F)stork, and they lifted up the basket between earth and heaven.
10 So I said to the (G)angel who talked with me, “Where are they carrying the basket?”
11 And he said to me, “To (H)build a house for it in (I)the land of [c]Shinar; when it is ready, the basket will be set there on its base.”

Zechariah 5
King James Version
5 Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll.
2 And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.
3 Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it.
4 I will bring it forth, saith the Lord of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into 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.
5 Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth.
6 And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance through all the earth.
7 And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.
8 And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.
9 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven.
10 Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah?
11 And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.
