Zachariæ 5

VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Et conversus sum, et levavi oculos meos, et vidi, et ecce volumen volans.	1 Then I raised my eyes again and saw a scroll flying.
2 Et dixit ad me : Quid tu vides ? Et dixi : Ego video volumen volans : longitudo ejus viginti cubitorum, et latitudo ejus decem cubitorum.	2 "What do you see?" he asked me. I answered, "I see a scroll flying; it is twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide."
3 Et dixit ad me : Hæc est maledictio quæ egreditur super faciem omnis terræ : quia omnis fur, sicut ibi scriptum est, judicabitur, et omnis jurans ex hoc similiter judicabitur.	3 Then he said to me: "This is the curse which is to go forth over the whole earth; in accordance with it shall every thief be swept away, and in accordance with it shall every perjurer be expelled from here.
4 Educam illud, dicit Dominus exercituum : et veniet ad domum furis, et ad domum jurantis in nomine meo mendaciter : et commorabitur in medio domus ejus, et consumet eam, et ligna ejus, et lapides ejus.	4 I will send it forth, says the LORD of hosts, and it shall come into the house of the thief, or into the house of him who perjures himself with my name; it shall lodge within his house, consuming it, timber and stones."
5 Et egressus est angelus qui loquebatur in me, et dixit ad me : Leva oculos tuos, et vide quid est hoc quod egreditur.	5 Then the angel who spoke with me came forward and said to me, "Raise your eyes and see what this is that comes forth."
6 Et dixi : Quidnam est ? Et ait : Hæc est amphora egrediens. Et dixit : Hæc est oculus eorum in universa terra.	6 "What is it?" I asked. And he answered, "This is a bushel container coming. This is their guilt in all the land."
7 Et ecce talentum plumbi portabatur, et ecce mulier una sedens in medio amphoræ.	7 Then a leaden cover was lifted, and there was a woman sitting inside the bushel.
8 Et dixit : Hæc est impietas. Et projecit eam in medio amphoræ, et misit massam plumbeam in os ejus.	8 "This is Wickedness," he said; and he thrust her inside the bushel, pushing the leaden cover into the opening.
9 Et levavi oculos meos, et vidi : et ecce duæ mulieres egredientes : et spiritus in alis earum, et habebant alas quasi alas milvi, et levaverunt amphoram inter terram et cælum.	9 Then I raised my eyes and saw two women coming forth with a wind ruffling their wings, for they had wings like the wings of a stork. As they lifted up the bushel into the air,
10 Et dixi ad angelum qui loquebatur in me : Quo istæ deferunt amphoram ?	10 I said to the angel who spoke with me, "Where are they taking the bushel?"
11 Et dixit ad me : Ut ædificetur ei domus in terra Sennaar, et stabiliatur, et ponatur ibi super basem suam.	11 He replied, "To build a temple for it in the land of Shinar; when the temple is ready, they will deposit it there in its place."
