撒迦利亚书 5
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
飞行书卷的异象
5 我又举目观看，看见有一卷飞行的书卷。
2 他问我：“你看见甚么？”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）。’”
量器中妇人的异象
5 那与我说话的天使又出来对我说：“你要举目观看，看看这出来的是甚么？”
6 我说：“这是甚么？”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，好象鹳鸟的翅膀；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。”

Chapter 5
Vision of the Scroll that Flies.[b] 1 Again I looked up, and I beheld a flying scroll. 2 The angel said to me, “What do you see?” I answered, “I see a flying scroll. It is twenty cubits in length and ten cubits in width.”
3 Then he said to me, “This is the curse that goes forth over the entire earth. According to the writing on one side, every thief will be swept away, and according to the writing on the other side, everyone who commits perjury in my name will be banished. 4 I have sent it forth, says the Lord of hosts, and it will enter the house of the thief and the house of anyone who commits perjury in my name. It will lodge inside such a house and consume it, both timber and stones.”
Vision of the Bushel Coming Forth.[c] 5 Then the angel who was speaking to me came forward and said, “Raise your eyes and see what this is that is coming forth.” 6 I asked, “What is it?” The angel replied, “This is a bushel basket coming forth.” And he added, “This is their guilt throughout the land.”
7 Then a leaden cover was lifted up, and there was a woman sitting inside the bushel basket. 8 “This is Wickedness,” the angel said. He immediately pushed her back into the basket and pressed the leaden cover into the opening.
9 Then I raised my eyes and beheld two women coming forward, with the wind in their wings which were like those of a stork. As they lifted up the bushel basket into the air, 10 I asked the angel who had been conversing with me, “Where are they taking the bushel basket?” 11 He replied, “To the land of Shinar, to build a house for it. When the house is completed, they will set down the bushel basket on a pedestal designed for it.”
Footnotes
- Zechariah 5:1 It is not enough to restore political and religious buildings and structures; the essential thing is to implement the moral and spiritual conditions that are needed for a new community. These final three visions proclaim that the Lord intends to sanctify his people and make them truly faithful to their mission of salvation.
- Zechariah 5:1 A scroll was a strip of parchment that was written on and then rolled up. The ancients thought that a prediction written on a scroll would certainly be fulfilled.
- Zechariah 5:5 The woman seen in a dream personifies the evil which God will remove from his people when he comes to save them.

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.
