Zaccaria (زكريا) 5

SMITH VAN DYKE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 فعدت ورفعت عينيّ ونظرت واذا بدرج طائر.	1 And I turned and lifted up my eyes. And I saw, and behold, a book flying.
2 فقال لي ماذا ترى. فقلت اني ارى درجا طائرا طوله عشرون ذراعا وعرضه عشر اذرع.	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 فقال لي هذه هي اللعنة الخارجة على وجه كل الارض. لان كل سارق يباد من هنا بحسبها وكل حالف يباد من هناك بحسبها.	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 اني اخرجها يقول رب الجنود فتدخل بيت السارق وبيت الحالف باسمي زورا وتبيت في وسط بيته وتفنيه مع خشبه وحجارته	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 ثم خرج الملاك الذي كلمني وقال لي. ارفع عينيك وانظر ما هذا الخارج.	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 فقلت ما هو. فقال هذه هي الايفة الخارجة. وقال هذه عينهم في كل الارض.	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 واذا بوزنة رصاص رفعت. وكانت امرأة جالسة في وسط الايفة.	7 And behold, a talent of lead was being carried; and behold, one woman sitting in the middle of the container.
8 فقال هذه هي الشر. فطرحها الى وسط الايفة وطرح ثقل الرصاص على فمها.	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 ورفعت عينيّ ونظرت واذا بامرأتين خرجتا والريح في اجنحتهما. ولهما اجنحة كاجنحة اللقلق فرفعتا الايفة بين الارض والسماء.	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 فقلت للملاك الذي كلمني الى اين هما ذاهبتان بالايفة.	10 And I said to the angel who was speaking with me, “Where are they taking the container?”
11 فقال لي لتبنيا لها بيتا في ارض شنعار. واذا تهيّأ تقرّ هناك على قاعدتها	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.”
