1 De nouveau je regarde, et voici ce que je vois:	1 And I turned and lifted up my eyes. And I saw, and behold, a book flying.
2 un rouleau dans les airs. L’ange me dit: “Que vois-tu?” Je réponds: “Je vois un rouleau qui vole, il a 10 mètres de long et 5 de large.”	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 L’ange me dit: “C’est une malédiction qui va se répandre sur tout le pays. Il y est écrit que tout voleur sera balayé loin d’ici. Il y est encore écrit que celui qui jure sera balayé d’ici.	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 J’ai lancé cette malédiction, dit Yahvé Sabaot, pour qu’elle vienne sur la maison du voleur et sur la maison de celui qui jure par mon Nom afin de cacher ses mensonges; elle s’arrêtera dans sa maison, et elle en dévorera le bois et les pierres.”	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 De nouveau l’ange prend la parole: “Lève les yeux et regarde ce qui approche.” Je demande: “Qu’est-ce que c’est?”	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 Il me dit: “C’est une mesure pour peser le grain.” Il ajoute: “C’est par là que tous pèchent dans ce pays.”	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 Alors se soulève un disque de plomb et l’on voit une femme assise dans la mesure à peser le grain.	7 And behold, a talent of lead was being carried; and behold, one woman sitting in the middle of the container.
8 L’ange me dit: “C’est la malhonnêteté.” Puis il la repousse à l’intérieur de la mesure et il en bouche l’ouverture avec la masse de plomb.	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 Alors sous mes yeux se présentent deux femmes avec des ailes de cigognes; le vent enfle leurs ailes et elles enlèvent la mesure entre terre et ciel.	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 Je dis alors à l’ange qui me parlait: “Où donc ces femmes emportent-elles la mesure?”	10 And I said to the angel who was speaking with me, “Where are they taking the container?”
11 Il me répond: “Elles vont lui construire un temple dans la terre de Chinéar; on lui fera un piédestal pour la poser dessus.”	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.”
