5 — Zaccaria

1And I turned and lifted up my eyes: and I saw, and behold a volume flying.E mi voltai, e alzai gli occhi, e vidi un volume, che svolazzava.AND I turned and lifted vp myne eyes: and I saw, and behold a volume flying.Et conversus sum, et levavi oculos meos, et vidi, et ecce volumen volans. 2And he said to me: What seest thou? And I said: I see a volume flying: the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.E quegli disse a me: Che vedi tu? Ed io dissi: Io veggo un volume, che vola, lungo venti cubiti, e largo dieci.And he sayd to me: What seest thou? And I sayd: I see a volume flying: the length therof of twentie cubits, and the breadth therof of ten cubits.Et dixit ad me: Quid tu vides ? Et dixi: Ego video volumen volans: longitudo ejus viginti cubitorum, et latitudo ejus decem cubitorum. 3And he said to me: This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the earth: for every thief shall be judged as is there written: and every one that sweareth in like manner shall be judged by it.E quegli disse a me: Questa è la maledizione, che si spande sopra tutta quanta la terra; perocché tutti i ladri secondo quello, che ivi sta scritto, saran condannati, e tutti quelli, che spergiurano, saran per esso egualmente condannati.And he sayd to me: This is the malediction, that goeth forth vpon the face of the earth: because euerie theefe, as is there written, shal be iudged: and euerie swearer, by it in like maner shal be iudged.Et dixit ad me: Hæc est maledictio quæ egreditur super faciem omnis terræ: quia omnis fur, sicut ibi scriptum est, judicabitur, et omnis jurans ex hoc similiter judicabitur. 4I will bring it forth, saith the Lord of hosts: and it shall come to the house of the thief, and to 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.Io lo metterò fuora, dice il Signore Dio degli eserciti, e caderà sulla casa del ladro, e sulla casa di quelli, che giurano il falso nel nome mio, e si poserà nel mezzo delle loro case, e le consumerà col legname, e co' sassi.I wil bring it forth, sayth the Lord of hosts: and it shal come to the house of the theefe, and to the house of him that sweareth by my name falsly: & it shal abide in the middes of his house, and shal consume it, and the timber therof, and the stones therof.Educam illud, dicit Dominus exercituum: et veniet ad domum furis, et ad domum jurantis in nomine meo mendaciter: et commorabitur in medio domus ejus, et consumet eam, et ligna ejus, et lapides ejus.

5And the angel went forth that spoke in me, and he said to me: Lift up thy eyes, and see what this is, that goeth forth.E usci fuora l'Angelo, che parlava in me, e mi disse: Alza gli occhi tuoi, e vedi, che sia quello, che comparisce.And the Angel went out that spake in me: and he sayd to me: Lift vp thine eyes, and see what is this, that goeth forth.Et egressus est angelus qui loquebatur in me, et dixit ad me: Leva oculos tuos, et vide quid est hoc quod egreditur. 6And I said: What is it? And he said: This is a vessel going forth. And he said: This is their eye in all the earth.E io dissi: Che cosa è mai? Ed egli disse: Ell'è un anfora, che vien fuora. E soggiunse: ella è quei ch'ei veggono in tutta la terra.And I sayd: What is it? And he sayd: This is an amphore going forth. And he sayd: This is their eye in al the earth.Et dixi: Quidnam est ? Et ait: Hæc est amphora egrediens. Et dixit: Hæc est oculus eorum in universa terra. 7And behold a talent of lead was carried, and behold a woman sitting in the midst of the vessel.Ed ecco un talento di piombo tenuto per aria e una donna, che sedeva in mezzo all'anfora.And behold a talent of lead was caried, and loe one woman sitting in the middes of the amphore.Et ecce talentum plumbi portabatur, et ecce mulier una sedens in medio amphoræ. 8And he said: This is wickedness. And he cast her into the midst of the vessel, and cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.E quegli disse: Questa è l'empietà. Ed ei gettola nel fondo dell'anfora, e sulla bocca di essa pose la massa di piombo.And he sayd: This is impietie. And he threw her in the middes of the amphore, and cast a lumpe of lead vpon the mouth therof.Et dixit: Hæc est impietas. Et projecit eam in medio amphoræ, et misit massam plumbeam in os ejus. 9And I lifted up my eyes and looked: and behold there came out two women, and wind was in their wings, and they had wings like the wings of a kite: and they lifted up the vessel between the earth and the heaven.E alzai i miei occhi, e osservai, ed ecco che venner fuora due donne, e il vento movea le loro ali, e avevano le ali come di nibbio, e alzaron l'anfora tra terra, e cielo.And I lifted vp mine eyes, and saw: and behold two wemen coming forth, and spirit in the winges of them, and they had winges as the winges of a kite: and they lifted vp the amphore betwen the earth and the heauen.Et levavi oculos meos, et vidi: et ecce duæ mulieres egredientes: et spiritus in alis earum, et habebant alas quasi alas milvi, et levaverunt amphoram inter terram et cælum.

10And I said to the angel that spoke in me: Whither do these carry the vessel?Ed io dissi ali' Angelo, che parlava in me : Dove portan elleno l'anfora?And I sayd to the Angel that spake in me: Whither do these carie the amphore?Et dixi ad angelum qui loquebatur in me: Quo istæ deferunt amphoram ? 11And he said to me: That a house may be built for it in the land of Sennaar, and that it may be established, and set there upon its own basis.Ed ei disse a me: Nella terra di Sommar, affinchè ivi siale edificata una casa, e ivi sia collocata, e posta sulla sua base.And he sayd to me: That a house may be built for it in the land of Sennaar, and it may be established, and set there vpon the foundation therof.Et dixit ad me: Ut ædificetur ei domus in terra Sennaar, et stabiliatur, et ponatur ibi super basem suam.
