Zakari 5
Haitian Creole Version
5 ¶ Mwen wè yon lòt vizyon ankò, mwen leve je m' gade. Mwen wè yon liv an fòm yon woulo papye k'ap vole nan syèl la.
2 Zanj ki t'ap pale avè m' lan di m': -Kisa ou wè? Mwen reponn li: -Mwen wè yon liv an fòm yon woulo k'ap vole nan syèl la. Li gen trant pye longè ak kenz pye lajè.
3 Epi li di m': -Se madichon ki pral tonbe sou tout latè. Dapre sa ki ekri sou yon bò liv la, yo pral fè tout vòlò disparèt nan peyi a. Dapre sa ki ekri sou lòt bò a, moun k'ap fè sèman pou bay manti pral disparèt nan peyi a tou.
4 Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a di konsa se li menm menm ki voye madichon sa a pou li antre nan kay tout moun k'ap vòlò, ak nan kay tout moun k'ap pran non m' fè sèman pou bay manti. L'a rete nan kay moun sa yo. Tankou dife, l'ap boule tout bwa ak tout wòch kay yo.
5 ¶ Zanj ki t'ap pale avè m' lan parèt ankò, li di m' konsa: -Leve je ou. Gade sa k'ap vin koulye a.
6 Mwen mande l': -Kisa l' ye? Li reponn mwen: -Se yon panyen. Se peche moun yo ap fè nan tout peyi a ki ladan l'.
7 Panyen an te gen yon kouvèti plon. Kouvèti a leve. Mwen wè yon gwo fanm chita anndan panyen an.
8 Zanj lan di m' konsa: -Fanm sa a, se mechanste ki non l'! Lèfini, li peze l' antre nan panyen an epi li mete kouvèti plon an sou li.
9 Apre sa mwen leve je m' gade, mwen wè de fanm. Yo te gen gwo zèl tankou sigòy. Yo t'ap vole nan syèl la vini. Yo pran panyen an, yo moute avè l'.
10 Mwen mande zanj ki t'ap pale avè m' lan: -Kote yo prale ak panyen an la a?
11 Li reponn mwen: -Yo pral bati yon tanp pou li nan peyi Babilòn. Y'ap fè yon pye pou li. Lèfini, y'ap mete l' la pou moun adore l'.

Vision of the Flying Scroll
5 Then I turned and raised my eyes, and saw there a flying (A)scroll.
2 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.”
3 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.”
4 “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
5 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.”
6 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: 7 Here is a lead disc lifted up, and this is a woman sitting inside the basket”; 8 then he said, “This is Wickedness!” And he thrust her down into the basket, and threw the lead [b]cover over its mouth. 9 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.”

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.

A Vision of a Flying Scroll
5 Again I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, a flying (A)scroll! 2 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] 3 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. 4 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
5 (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.” 6 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.” 7 And behold, the leaden cover was lifted, and there was a woman sitting in the basket! 8 And he said, “This is Wickedness.” And he thrust her back into the basket, and thrust down (L)the leaden weight on its opening.
9 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.”
