飞卷的异象
我又举目观看,看哪,有一飞行的书卷。
Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll.
2他问我:“你看见什么?”我回答:“我看见一飞行的书卷,长二十肘,宽十肘。”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他对我说:“这就是向全地面发出的诅咒。凡偷窃的必按书卷这面的话除灭,凡起假誓的必按书卷那面的话除灭。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.
4万军之耶和华说:我要把这书卷送出去,进入偷窃者的家和指着我名起假誓者的家,停留在他家里,连房屋带木头和石头都毁灭了。”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.
量器中妇人的异象
5与我说话的天使前来,对我说:“你要举目观看,看那出现的是什么。”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我问:“这是什么呢?”他说:“这出现的是量器☛“量器”:原文是“伊法”;下同。。”又说:“是他们的眼目,遍行全地☛“他们的眼目,遍行全地”:七十士译本和其他古译本是“他们在遍地的恶行”。。”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看哪,圆形的铅盖被抬起来,有一个妇人坐在量器中。And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.
8天使说:“这是罪恶。”他就把妇人推进量器里,把铅盖压在量器的口上。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于是我举目观看,看哪,有两个妇人前来,她们的翅膀中有风,翅膀如同鹳鸟的翅膀。她们把量器抬起来,悬在天地之间。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我问那与我说话的天使:“她们要把量器抬到哪里去呢?”Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah?
11他对我说:“要抬到示拿地去,为它建造房屋;等预备妥当,就把它安放在自己的台座上。”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.
