¹Then again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, a flying scroll.

¹Aku memperhatikan lagi, dan kali ini kulihat sebuah kitab gulungan terbang di udara.

²He said to me, “What do you see?” I answered, “I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty cubits, and its breadth ten cubits.”

²Malaikat itu menanyakan apa yang kulihat. Jawabku, "Sebuah kitab gulungan terbang di udara. Panjangnya sembilan meter dan lebarnya empat setengah meter."

³Then he said to me, “This is the curse that goes out over the surface of the whole land; for everyone who steals shall be cut off according to it on the one side; and everyone who swears falsely shall be cut off according to it on the other side.

³Lalu ia berkata kepadaku, "Pada kitab gulungan itu tertulis kutukan terhadap seluruh negeri ini. Pada satu muka tertulis bahwa setiap pencuri akan dikeluarkan dari negeri ini. Dan pada muka lainnya tertulis bahwa setiap orang yang bersumpah palsu juga akan dikeluarkan.

⁴I will cause it to go out,” says Yahweh of Armies, “and it will enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him who swears falsely by my name; and it will remain in the midst of his house, and will destroy it with its timber and its stones.”

⁴TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa berkata bahwa kutukan itu akan ditimpakannya ke atas rumah setiap pencuri dan rumah setiap orang yang bersumpah palsu. Rumah-rumah itu akan terus kena kutukan itu sampai menjadi puing-puing."

⁵Then the angel who talked with me came forward, and said to me, “Lift up now your eyes, and see what is this that is appearing.”

⁵Malaikat itu muncul lagi dan berkata, "Lihat! Ada lagi yang datang!"

⁶I said, “What is it?” He said, “This is the ephah An ephah is a measure of volume of about 22 litres, 5.8 U. S. gallons, or about 2/3 of a bushel. basket that is appearing.” He said moreover, “This is their appearance in all the land

⁶"Apa itu?" tanyaku. Jawabnya, "Sebuah keranjang. Itulah lambang dosa dari seluruh negeri ini."

⁷(and behold, a talent A talent is a weight of about 34 kilograms or 75 pounds. of lead was lifted up); and this is a woman sitting in the midst of the ephah basket.”

⁷Keranjang itu mempunyai tutup dari timah. Sementara kuperhatikan, tutup itu terangkat dan ternyata di dalam keranjang itu duduk seorang wanita.

⁸He said, “This is Wickedness”; and he threw her down into the midst of the ephah basket; and he threw the weight of lead on its mouth.

⁸Malaikat itu berkata, "Wanita ini melambangkan kejahatan." Lalu ditekannya wanita itu kembali ke dalam keranjang dan ditutupnya keranjang itu.

⁹Then lifted I up my eyes, and saw, and behold, there were two women, and the wind was in their wings. Now they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ephah basket between earth and the sky.

⁹Aku menengok ke atas dan melihat dua wanita terbang ke arahku. Mereka mempunyai sayap yang kokoh seperti sayap burung bangau. Keranjang tadi mereka ambil lalu mereka bawa terbang.

¹⁰Then I said to the angel who talked with me, “Where are these carrying the ephah basket?”

¹⁰Aku bertanya kepada malaikat itu, "Ke mana mereka bawa keranjang itu?"

¹¹He said to me, “To build her a house in the land of Shinar. When it is prepared, she will be set there in her own place.”

¹¹Jawabnya, "Ke Babel, di sana mereka akan membangun kuil baginya. Jika kuil itu selesai, keranjang itu akan ditempatkan di situ untuk disembah."
