1και επεϲτρεψα και ηρα τουϲ οφθαλμουϲ μου και ειδον · κ(αι) ειδου δρεπανο πετομενον · 2και ειπεν κϲ προϲ με · τι ϲυ βλεπειϲ ˙ και ειπα ˙ εγω ορω δρεπανον πετομενον · μηκουϲ πηχεων εικοϲι · και πλατουϲ πηχεων δεκα · 3και ειπε προϲ με · αυτη η αρα · η εκπορευομενη επι προϲωπο παϲηϲ τηϲ γηϲ · διοτι παϲ ο κλεπτηϲ · εκ τουτου εωϲ θανατου εκδικηθηϲεται · και παϲ ο επιορκοϲ · εκ τουτου εωϲ θανατου εκδικηθηϲεται · 4και εκξοιϲω αυτο λεγει κϲ παντοκρατωρʼ · και ειϲελευϲεται ειϲ τον οικον του γλεπου · και ειϲ το οικον του ομνυοντοϲ τω ονοματι μου επι ψευδει · και καταλυϲη εν μεϲω του οικου αυτου · και ϲυντελεϲει αυτον · και τα ξυλα αυτου και τουϲ λιθουϲ αυτου : 5και εξηλθεν ο αγγελοϲ ο λαλων εν εμοι · και ειπεν προϲ με · αναβλεψον τοιϲ οφθαλμοιϲ ου και ειδε · το εκπορευομενον τουτο
1Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll. 2And 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. 3Then 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. 4I 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. 5Then 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.
6και ειπα τι εϲτιν · κ(αι) ειπεν · τουτο το μετρον το εκπορευομενον · και ειπε αυτη η αδικια αυτου εν παϲη τη γη ˙ 7και ειδου ταλαντον μολυβου εξερομενον · και ϊδου μια γυνη εκαθητο εν μεϲω του μετρου · 8και ειπεν · αυτη εϲτιν η ανομια · και εριψεν αυτη εν μεϲω του μετρου · αι ερειψεν το λιθον του μολιβου · ειϲ το ϲτομα αυτηϲ · 9και ηρα τουϲ οφθαλμουϲ μου και ϊδον · και ειδου δυο γυνεκαιϲ εκπορευομεναι · κ(αι) πνα εν ταιϲ πτερυξειν αυτων ˙ και αυτε ειχον πτερυγαϲ ωϲ πτερυγαϲ εποποϲ · κ(αι) ανελαβον το μετρον ανα μεϲον τηϲ γηϲ · και ανα μεϲον του ουρανου · 10και ειπα προϲ το αγγελον τον λαλουντα εν εμοι ˙ που αυτε αποφερουϲιν το μετρο ·
6And 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. 7And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah. 8And 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. 9Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven. 10Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah?
11και ειπεν προϲ με · οικοδομηϲε αυτω οικιαν εν γη βαβυλωνοϲ · και ετοιμαϲε και θηϲουϲιν αυτο εκι επι την ετοιμαϲιαν αυτου ·
11And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.
