見飛卷得知盜竊者妄誓者必如卷文見除

我又舉目觀看,見有一飛行的書卷。 他問我說:「你看見什麼?」我回答說:「我看見一飛行的書卷,長二十肘,寬十肘。」 他對我說:「這是發出行在遍地上的咒詛,凡偷竊的必按卷上這面的話除滅,凡起假誓的必按卷上那面的話除滅。 萬軍之耶和華說:我必使這書卷出去,進入偷竊人的家和指我名起假誓人的家,必常在他家裡,連房屋帶木石都毀滅了。」

見量器中之婦

與我說話的天使出來,對我說:「你要舉目觀看,見所出來的是什麼。」 我說:「這是什麼呢?」他說:「這出來的是量器。」他又說:「這是惡人在遍地的形狀。」 我見有一片圓鉛被舉起來,這坐在量器中的是個婦人。 天使說:「這是罪惡。」他就把婦人扔在量器中,將那片圓鉛扔在量器的口上。 我又舉目觀看,見有兩個婦人出來,在她們翅膀中有風,飛得甚快,翅膀如同鸛鳥的翅膀。她們將量器抬起來,懸在天地中間。 10 我問與我說話的天使說:「她們要將量器抬到哪裡去呢?」 11 他對我說:「要往示拿地去,為它蓋造房屋。等房屋齊備,就把它安置在自己的地方。」

The Flying Scroll

I looked again, and there before me was a flying scroll.(A)

He asked me, “What do you see?”(B)

I answered, “I see a flying scroll, twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide.[a]

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. 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

Then the angel who was speaking to me came forward and said to me, “Look up and see what is appearing.”

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.”

Then the cover of lead was raised, and there in the basket sat a woman! He said, “This is wickedness,” and he pushed her back into the basket and pushed its lead cover down on it.(I)

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

Then I turned and raised my eyes, and saw there a flying (A)scroll.

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.”

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.”

“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

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.”

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: Here is a lead disc lifted up, and this is a woman sitting inside the basket”; then he said, “This is Wickedness!” And he thrust her down into the basket, and threw the lead [b]cover over its mouth. 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.”

Sexta visión: el libro volando

Alcé de nuevo la vista y, al mirar, vi un libro que volaba. El ángel me preguntó:

— ¿Qué ves?

Yo respondí:

— Un libro que va volando y que tiene diez metros de largo por cinco de ancho.

El ángel me dijo:

— Es la maldición que abarca a toda esta tierra, pues por una cara lleva escrito: “ningún ladrón quedará impune”; y por la otra cara: “ningún perjuro quedará impune”. Yo le he dado licencia —oráculo del Señor del universo— para que entre en la casa del ladrón y del que jura en falso utilizando mi nombre, y para que se instale allí hasta que todas sus vigas y sus piedras se conviertan en ruinas.

Séptima visión: la mujer en el recipiente

El ángel que hablaba conmigo dio un paso adelante y me dijo:

— Alza la vista y mira eso que aparece.

Yo pregunté:

— ¿De qué se trata?

Me respondió:

— Es un recipiente y representa —añadió el ángel— la maldad de todo el país.

Levantaron entonces la tapadera que era de plomo y apareció una mujer sentada en el interior del recipiente. El ángel me dijo:

— Es la maldad.

Seguidamente la empujó hasta el fondo del recipiente al que tapó con la tapadera de plomo. Alcé entonces la vista y vi a dos mujeres que tenían alas como de cigüeña; el viento impulsaba sus alas y levantaron el recipiente entre la tierra y el cielo. 10 Pregunté al ángel que hablaba conmigo:

— ¿A dónde llevan el recipiente?

11 Me contestó:

— Al país de Senaar donde le construirán un santuario y lo colocarán sobre un pedestal.
