1 T hen I lifted up my eyes again and looked, and behold, there was a flying scroll.

وَرَفَعْتُ عَينَيَّ ثانِيَةً، فَرَأيتُ مَخطُوطَةَ كِتابٍ تَطِيرُ.

2 A nd he said to me, “ What do you see?” And I answered, “I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty cubits and its width ten cubits.”

فَقالَ لِيَ المَلاكُ: «ماذا تَرَى؟» فَقُلْتُ: «أرَى مَخطُوطَةَ كِتابٍ تَطيرُ فِي الهَواءِ، طُولُها عشْرُونَ ذِراعاً، وَعَرضُها عَشْرَةُ أذْرُعٍ.

3 T hen he said to me, “This is the curse that is going forth over the face of the whole land; surely everyone who steals will be purged away according to the writing on one side, and everyone who swears will be purged away according to the writing on the other side.

فَقالَ لِي: «اللَّعنَةُ المُعلَنَةُ ضِدَّ كُلِّ الأرْضِ مَكْتُوبَةٌ عَلَى هَذِهِ المَخطُوطَةِ! لَعنَةٌ ضِدُّ اللُّصُوصِ عَلَى وَجهُها الأّوَّلُ، وَضِدُّ الحالِفينَ بِاسمِي كَذِباً عَلَى وَجهِها الثّانِي.

4 I will make it go forth,” declares the Lord of hosts, “and it will enter the house of the thief and the house of the one who swears falsely by My name; and it will spend the night within that house and consume it with its timber and stones.”

وَيَقُولُ اللهُ القَدِيرُ: ‹أرسَلْتُ هَذا العِقابَ لِيَدخُلَ بَيتَ اللِّصِّ وَالحالِفِ بِاسْمِي كَذِباً. سَيَسْكُنُ العِقابُ فِي بَيتِهِ وَيُدَمِّرُهُ تَدمِيراً، بِخَشَبِهِ وَحِجارَتِهِ.›» السَّلَّةُ وَالمَرأة

5 T hen the angel who was speaking with me went out and said to me, “Lift up now your eyes and see what this is going forth.”

ثُمَّ خَرَجَ المَلاكُ الَّذِي كانَ يَتَكَلَّمُ مَعِي وَقالَ لِيَ: «ارفَعْ عَينَيكَ وَانظُرْ ما هَذا الآتِي نَحوَنا.»

6 I said, “What is it?” And he said, “This is the ephah going forth.” Again he said, “This is their appearance in all the land

فَقُلْتُ: «ما هُوَ؟» فَقالَ: «هَذا إناءٌ لِلْكَيلِ. إنَّهُ لِكَيلِ ذَنُوبِ الأرْضِ كُلِّها.»

7 ( and behold, a lead cover was lifted up); and this is a woman sitting inside the ephah.”

ثُمَّ رُفِعَ غِطاءُ الإناءِ المُستَدِيرُ المَصنُوعُ مِنَ الرَّصاصِ، فَرأيْتُ امْرأةً جالِسَةً فِي وَسَطِ الإناءِ!

8 T hen he said, “This is Wickedness!” And he threw her down into the middle of the ephah and cast the lead weight on its opening.

وَقالَ المَلاكُ: «هَذا نِتاجُ الشَّرَّ.» ثُمَّ دَفَعَها ثانِيَةً إلَى داخِلِ الإناءِ، وَوَضَعَ غِطاءَ الرَّصاصِ عَلَى فُتْحَةِ الإناءِ.

9 T hen I lifted up my eyes and looked, and there two women were coming out with the wind in their wings; and they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heavens.

ثُمَّ نَظَرْتُ إلَى الأعلَى وَرَأيتُ امرَأتَينِ مُقبِلَتَينِ لَهُما أجنِحَةٌ كَأجنِحَةِ لَقلَقٍ مَفرُودَةٍ لِلطَّيَرانِ. فَرَفَعَتا الإناءَ فِي الهَواءِ.

10 I said to the angel who was speaking with me, “Where are they taking the ephah?”

فَقُلْتُ لِلمَلاكِ الَّذِي كانَ يَتَكَلَّمُ مَعِي: «إلَى أينَ تَأخُذُ المَرأتانِ الإناءَ؟»

11 T hen he said to me, “To build a temple for her in the land of Shinar; and when it is prepared, she will be set there on her own pedestal.”

فَقالَ لِي: «إنَّهُما ذاهِبَتانِ لِبِناءِ بَيتٍ لِلإناءَ فِي أرْضِ شِنعارَ. وَحِينَ يُصبِحُ البَيتُ جاهِزاً، سَيُوضَعُ الإناءُ عَلَى قاعِدَتِهِ.»
