1 T hen I turned and raised my eyes, and saw there a flying scroll.

وَرَفَعْتُ عَينَيَّ ثانِيَةً، فَرَأيتُ مَخطُوطَةَ كِتابٍ تَطِيرُ.

2 A nd he said to me, “What do you see?” So 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 goes out over the face of the whole earth: ‘Every thief shall be expelled,’ according to this side of the scroll; and, ‘Every perjurer shall be expelled,’ according to that side of it.”

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 send out the curse, ” says the Lord of hosts; “It shall enter the house of the thief And the house of the one who swears falsely by My name. It shall remain in the midst of his house And consume it, with its timber and stones.” Vision of the Woman in a Basket

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 talked with me came out and said to me, “Lift your eyes now, and see what this is that goes forth.”

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

6 S o I asked, “What is it?” And he said, “It is a basket that is going forth.” He also said, “This is their resemblance throughout the earth:

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

7 H ere is a lead disc lifted up, and this is a woman sitting inside the basket”;

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

8 t hen he said, “This is Wickedness!” And he thrust her down into the basket, and threw the lead cover over its mouth.

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

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

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

10 S o I said to the angel who talked with me, “Where are they carrying the basket?”

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

11 A nd he said to me, “To build a house for it in the land of Shinar; when it is ready, the basket will be set there on its base.”

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