Zacarías 5
Palabra de Dios para Todos
El rollo en el aire
5 Levanté la mirada de nuevo y vi un rollo que volaba. 2 El ángel me preguntó:
—¿Qué ves?
Yo respondí:
—Veo un rollo volando que mide 10 metros[a] de largo por 5 metros de ancho.
3 El ángel me dijo:
—En este rollo está escrito el castigo que va a caer sobre toda la tierra. Por un lado está escrito el castigo para todos los que han robado; y por el otro lado está escrito el castigo para todos los que han jurado en falso. Todos ellos serán destruidos. 4 El SEÑOR Todopoderoso dice: “Yo enviaré ese castigo a la casa de los ladrones y a la casa de los que usan mi nombre para jurar en falso. Ese castigo permanecerá en sus casas y destruirá hasta las vigas y las piedras”.
La mujer y la caneca
5 Luego, el ángel que me hablaba se acercó y me dijo:
—Levanta la mirada y observa lo que se acerca a nosotros.
6 Yo pregunté:
—¿Qué es eso?
Él me respondió:
—Es una caneca que representa los pecados de la gente en toda la tierra.
7 Entonces levantó la tapa de plomo de la caneca y adentro estaba sentada una mujer. 8 El ángel dijo:
—Esa mujer representa la maldad. Empujó a la mujer hacia dentro de la caneca y le colocó la tapa de plomo. 9 Luego miré hacia arriba y vi a dos mujeres que se acercaban a nosotros. Tenían alas como las de una cigüeña, las cuales estaban abiertas golpeando la brisa. Las mujeres levantaron la caneca. 10 Le pregunté al ángel que me hablaba:
—¿A dónde llevan la caneca?
11 Él me respondió:
—Van a construir un templo en Sumeria[b] para la caneca, y cuando esté listo la colocarán sobre su pedestal para adorarla.

New International Version
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)

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.
