Zechariah 5 (WEBP)

[1] Then again I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, a flying scroll.
[2] He said to me, “What do you see?” I answered, “I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty cubits, and its width ten cubits.”
[3] Then 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.
[4] I 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 middle of his house, and will destroy it with its timber and its stones.”
[5] Then the angel who talked with me came forward and said to me, “Lift up now your eyes and see what this is that is appearing.”
[6] I said, “What is it?” He said, “This is the ephah basket that is appearing.” He said moreover, “This is their appearance in all the land—
[7] and behold, a lead cover weighing one talent was lifted up—and there was a woman sitting in the middle of the ephah basket.”
[8] He said, “This is Wickedness;” and he threw her down into the middle of the ephah basket; and he threw the lead weight on its mouth.
[9] Then I lifted 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.
[10] Then I said to the angel who talked with me, “Where are these carrying the ephah basket?”
[11] He 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.”

Zechariah 5 (BYZ)

[1] και επεστρεψα και ηρα τους οφθαλμους μου και ειδον και ιδου δρεπανον πετομενον
[2] και ειπεν προς με τι συ βλεπεις και ειπα εγω ορω δρεπανον πετομενον μηκος πηχεων εικοσι και πλατος πηχεων δεκα
[3] και ειπεν προς με αυτη η αρα η εκπορευομενη επι προσωπον πασης της γης διοτι πας ο κλεπτης εκ τουτου εως θανατου εκδικηθησεται και πας ο επιορκος εκ τουτου εως θανατου εκδικηθησεται
[4] και εξοισω αυτο λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ και εισελευσεται εις τον οικον του κλεπτου και εις τον οικον του ομνυοντος τω ονοματι μου επι ψευδει και καταλυσει εν μεσω του οικου αυτου και συντελεσει αυτον και τα ξυλα αυτου και τους λιθους αυτου
[5] και εξηλθεν ο αγγελος ο λαλων εν εμοι και ειπεν προς με αναβλεψον τοις οφθαλμοις σου και ιδε τι το εκπορευομενον τουτο
[6] και ειπα τι εστιν και ειπεν τουτο το μετρον το εκπορευομενον και ειπεν αυτη η αδικια αυτων εν παση τη γη
[7] και ιδου ταλαντον μολιβου εξαιρομενον και ιδου μια γυνη εκαθητο εν μεσω του μετρου
[8] και ειπεν αυτη εστιν η ανομια και ερριψεν αυτην εν μεσω του μετρου και ερριψεν τον λιθον του μολιβου εις το στομα αυτης
[9] και ηρα τους οφθαλμους μου και ειδον και ιδου δυο γυναικες εκπορευομεναι και πνευμα εν ταις πτερυξιν αυτων και αυται ειχον πτερυγας ως πτερυγας εποπος και ανελαβον το μετρον ανα μεσον της γης και ανα μεσον του ουρανου
[10] και ειπα προς τον αγγελον τον λαλουντα εν εμοι που αυται αποφερουσιν το μετρον
[11] και ειπεν προς με οικοδομησαι αυτω οικιαν εν γη βαβυλωνος και ετοιμασαι και θησουσιν αυτο εκει επι την ετοιμασιαν αυτου
