1 Και παλιν υψωσα τους οφθαλμους μου και ειδον και ιδου, τομος πετωμενος.1 And I turned and lifted up my eyes. And I saw, and behold, a book flying.
2 Και ειπε προς εμε, Τι βλεπεις συ; Και απεκριθην, Βλεπω τομον πετωμενον, το μηκος αυτου εικοσι πηχων και το πλατος αυτου δεκα πηχων.2 And he said to me, “What do you see?” And I said, “I see a book flying. Its length is twenty cubits, and its width is ten cubits.”
3 Και ειπε προς εμε, Αυτη ειναι η καταρα η εξερχομενη επι το προσωπον πασης της γης? διοτι πας οστις κλεπτει θελει εξολοθρευθη, ως γραφεται εν αυτω εντευθεν? και πας οστις ομνυει θελει εξολοθρευθη, ως γραφεται εν αυτω εκειθεν.3 And he said to me, “This is the curse that goes forth over the face of the whole earth. For every thief will be judged, just as it has been written there, and everyone who swears by this, will be judged in like manner.”
4 Θελω εκφερει αυτην, λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων, και θελει εισελθει εις τον οικον του κλεπτου και εις τον οικον του ομνυοντος εις το ονομα μου ψευδως? και θελει διαμεινει εν μεσω του οικου αυτου, και θελει εξολοθρευσει αυτον και τα ξυλα αυτου και τους λιθους αυτου.4 I will bring it forth, says the Lord of hosts, and it will approach to the house of the thief, and to the house of him who swears falsely by my name, and it will remain in the midst of his house and will consume it, with its wood and its stones.
5 Και ο αγγελος ο λαλων μετ' εμου εξηλθε και ειπε προς εμε, Υψωσον τωρα τους οφθαλμους σου και ιδε τι ειναι τουτο το εξερχομενον.5 And the angel had departed, who was speaking with me. And he said to me, “Lift up your eyes, and see what this is, that goes forth.”
6 Και ειπα, Τι ειναι τουτο; Ο δε ειπε, τουτο το οποιον εξερχεται ειναι εφα? και ειπε, Τουτο ειναι η παραστασις αυτων καθ' ολην την γην.6 And I said, “What, then, is it?” And he said, “This is a container going forth.” And he said, “This is their eye in all the earth.”
7 Και ιδου, εσηκονετο ταλαντον μολυβδου? και ιδου, μια γυνη εκαθητο εν τω μεσω του εφα.7 And behold, a talent of lead was being carried; and behold, one woman sitting in the middle of the container.
8 Και ειπεν, Αυτη ειναι η ασεβεια. Και ερριψεν αυτην εις το μεσον του εφα, και ερριψε το μολυβδινον ζυγιον εις το στομα αυτου.8 And he said, “This is impiety.” And he cast her into the middle of the container, and he sent the weight of lead into its mouth.
9 Τοτε υψωσα τους οφθαλμους μου και ειδον και ιδου, εξηρχοντο δυο γυναικες και ανεμος ητο εν ταις πτερυξιν αυτων, διοτι αυται ειχον πτερυγας ως πτερυγας πελαργου? και εσηκωσαν το εφα αναμεσον της γης και του ουρανου.9 And I lifted up my eyes and I saw. And behold, two women were departing, and a spirit was in their wings, and they had wings like the wings of a kite, and they lifted up the container between earth and heaven.
10 Και ειπα προς τον αγγελον τον λαλουντα μετ' εμου, Που φερουσιν αυται το εφα;10 And I said to the angel who was speaking with me, “Where are they taking the container?”
11 Και ειπε προς εμε, Δια να οικοδομησωσι δι' αυτο οικον εν τη γη Σεννααρ? και θελει στηριχθη και θελει τεθη εκει επι την βασιν αυτου.11 And he said to me, “To a house that may be built for it in the land of Shinar, and so that it may be established and set there upon its own base.”
