| 1Then I turned and raised my eyes, and saw there a flying scroll. | 1Then I looked up and saw a flying scroll! |
| 2And 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.” | 2And the angel asked me, "What do you see?" I answered him, "I'm looking at a flying scroll. It's 20 cubits long and ten cubits wide." |
| 3Then 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.” | 3He responded to me, "This is the curse that is going out over the surface of the whole earth, because, according to this side of the scroll, all thieves will be ejected, and according to the other side of the scroll, all liars will be ejected." |
| 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.” | 4"I am bringing this about," declares the LORD of the Heavenly Armies. "The curse will enter the house of the thief and the house of the one who lies in my name. The curse will remain in his house until that house has been completely destroyed, right down to its timber and stones." |
| 5Then the angel who talked with me came out and said to me, “Lift your eyes now, and see what this is that goes forth.” | 5Then the angel who had been talking with me stepped forward and told me, "Please look up and see what's going out." |
| 6So 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: | 6So I asked, "What is it?" He replied, "This is a basket making its appearance." He also said, "This is what it appears to be in the entire land." |
| 7Here is a lead disc lifted up, and this is a woman sitting inside the basket”; | 7Look, a round lead cover was being lifted, and there was one woman seated inside the basket! |
| 8then he said, “This is Wickedness!” And he thrust her down into the basket, and threw the lead cover over its mouth. | 8And the angel said, "This is evil!" So he shoved her back into the basket and snapped the round, lead cover over the opening. |
| 9Then 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. | 9Then I looked up to see two women coming forward with the wind filling their wings. (They had wings like those of a stork.) They took up the basket, holding it between the earth and sky. |
| 10So I said to the angel who talked with me, “Where are they carrying the basket?” | 10So I asked the angel who was talking to me, "Where are they taking the basket?" |
| 11And 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.” | 11He answered me, "To the land of Shinar, so they can build a temple to the woman in the basket. Then when its preparations are complete, the basket will be set there in its place." |
