Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.

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.

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.

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.”
