他问我说,你看见什么。我回答说,我看见一飞行的书卷,长二十肘。宽十肘。And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.
他对我说,这是发出行在遍地上的咒诅。凡偷窃的必按卷上这面的话除灭。凡起假誓的必按卷上那面的话除灭。Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it.
万军之耶和华说,我必使这书卷出去,进入偷窃人的家,和指我名起假誓人的家,必常在他家里,连房屋带木石都毁灭了。I will bring it forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.
与我说话的天使出来,对我说,你要举目观看,见所出来的是什么。Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth.
我说,这是什么呢。他说,这出来的是量器。他又说,这是恶人,在遍地的形状。And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance through all the earth.
天使说,这是罪恶。他就把妇人扔在量器中,将那片圆铅扔在量器的口上。And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.
