Ang Pangitain tungkol sa Kasulatang Nakarolyo na Lumilipad

Nakita ko ang isang kasulatang nakarolyo na lumilipad. Tinanong ako ng anghel, “Ano ang nakita mo?” Sinabi ko, “Isang kasulatang nakarolyo na lumilipad, na mga 30 talampakan ang haba at mga 15 talampakan ang lapad.”

Sinabi ng anghel sa akin, “Nakasulat sa kasulatang iyan ang sumpang darating sa buong lupain ng Israel. Sinasabi sa isang bahagi ng kasulatan na ang lahat ng magnanakaw ay aalisin sa Israel, at sa kabilang bahagi naman ng kasulatan ay sinasabi na ang lahat ng sumusumpa ng may kasinungalingan ay aalisin din. Sinabi ng Makapangyarihang Panginoon, ‘Ipapadala ko ang sumpang ito sa tahanan ng magnanakaw at sa tahanan ng sumusumpa ng kasinungalingan sa aking pangalan. Mananatili ito sa kanilang mga bahay at lubusang wawasakin ang mga ito.’ ”

Ang Pangitain tungkol sa Babaeng Nasa Loob ng Kaing

Muling nagpakita sa akin ang anghel na nakipag-usap sa akin at sinabi, “Tingnan mo kung ano itong dumarating.” Nagtanong ako, “Ano iyan?” Sinabi niya, “Kaing.” At sinabi pa niya, “Iyan ay sumisimbolo sa kasalanan[a] ng mga tao sa buong lupain ng Israel.”

Ang kaing ay may takip na tingga. At nang alisin ang takip, nakita kong may isang babaeng nakaupo roon sa loob ng kaing. Sinabi ng anghel, “Ang babaeng iyan ay sumisimbolo sa kasamaan.” Itinulak niya ang babae pabalik sa loob ng kaing at isinara ang takip. Pagkatapos, may nakita akong dalawang babaeng lumilipad na tinatangay ng hangin. Ang kanilang mga pakpak ay tulad ng sa tagak.[b] Binuhat nila ang kaing at inilipad paitaas. 10 Tinanong ko ang anghel na nakikipag-usap sa akin, “Saan nila dadalhin ang kaing?” 11 Sumagot siya, “Sa Babilonia,[c] kung saan gagawa ng templo para sa kaing. At kapag natapos na ang templo, ilalagay ito roon para sambahin.”

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)

A Vision of a Flying Scroll

Again I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, a flying (A)scroll! And he said to me, “What do you see?” I answered, “I see a flying (B)scroll. Its length is twenty cubits, and its width ten cubits.”[a] Then he said to me, “This is (C)the curse that goes out over the face of the whole land. For everyone who (D)steals shall be cleaned out according to what is on one side, and everyone who (E)swears falsely[b] shall be cleaned out according to what is on the other side. I will send it out, declares the Lord of hosts, and it shall enter the house of the thief, and the house of (F)him who swears falsely by my name. And (G)it shall remain in his house and (H)consume it, both timber and stones.”

A Vision of a Woman in a Basket

(I)Then the angel who talked with me came forward and said to me, (J)“Lift your eyes and see what this is that is going out.” And I said, “What is it?” He said, “This is (K)the basket[c] that is going out.” And he said, “This is their iniquity[d] in all the land.” And behold, the leaden cover was lifted, and there was a woman sitting in the basket! And he said, “This is Wickedness.” And he thrust her back into the basket, and thrust down (L)the leaden weight on its opening.

Then I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, two women coming forward! (M)The wind was in their wings. They had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between earth and heaven. 10 Then I said to the angel who talked with me, “Where are they taking the basket?” 11 He said to me, “To the (N)land of Shinar, to build a house for it. And when this is prepared, they will set the basket down there on its base.”
