Zechariah 5: Douay-Rheims, Vulgata Clementina and Septuagint (Sixtine edition, 1587)
Douay-RheimsVulgata ClementinaSeptuagint (Sixtine edition, 1587)
1And I turned and lifted up my eyes: and I saw, and behold a volume flying.Et conversus sum, et levavi oculos meos, et vidi, et ecce volumen volans.Καὶ ἐπέστρεψα, καὶ ᾖρα τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου, καὶ ἴδον, καὶ ἰδοὺ δρέπανον πετόμενον.
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.Et dixit ad me: Quid tu vides? Et dixi: Ego video volumen volans: longitudo eius viginti cubitorum, et latitudo eius decem cubitorum.Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς μὲ, τί σὺ βλέπεις; καὶ εἶπα, ἐγὼ ὁρῶ δρέπανον πετόμενον μήκους πήχεων εἴκοσι, καὶ πλάτους πήχεων δέκα.
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.Et dixit ad me: Haec est maledictio quae egreditur super faciem omnis terrae: quia omnis fur, sicut ibi scriptum est, iudicabitur, et omnis iurans ex hoc similiter iudicabitur.Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς μὲ, Αὕτη ἡ ἀρὰ ἡ ἐκπορευομένη ἐπὶ πρόσωπον πάσης τῆς γῆς· διότι πᾶς ὁ κλέπτης ἐκ τούτου ἕως θανάτου ἐκδικηθήσεται, καὶ πᾶς ὁ ἐπίορκος ἐκ τούτου ἐκδικηθήσεται.
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.Educam illud, dicit Dominus exercituum: et veniet ad domum furis, et ad domum iurantis in nomine meo mendaciter: et commorabitur in medio domus eius, et consumet eam, et ligna eius, et lapides eius.Καὶ ἐξοίσω αὐτὸ, λέγει Κύριος παντοκράτωρ, καὶ εἰσελεύσεται εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ κλέπτου, καὶ εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ ὀμνύοντος τῷ ὀνόματί μου ἐπὶ ψεύδει, καὶ καταλύσει ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ, καὶ συντελέσει αὐτὸν, καὶ τὰ ξύλα αὐτοῦ, καὶ τοὺς λίθους αὐτοῦ.
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.Et egressus est angelus qui loquebatur in me, et dixit ad me: Leva oculos tuos, et vide quid est hoc quod egreditur.Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ ἄγγελος ὁ λαλῶν ἐν ἐμοὶ, καὶ εἶπε πρὸς μὲ, ἀνάβλεψον τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς σου, καὶ ἴδε τὸ ἐκπορευόμενον τοῦτο.
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.Et dixi: Quidnam est? Et ait: Haec est amphora egrediens. Et dixit: Haec est oculus eorum in universa terra.Καὶ εἶπα, τί ἐστι; καὶ εἶπε, τοῦτο τὸ μέτρον τὸ ἐκπορευόμενον· καὶ εἶπεν, αὕτη ἡ ἀδικία αὐτῶν ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ.
7And behold a talent of lead was carried, and behold a woman sitting in the midst of the vessel.Et ecce talentum plumbi portabatur, et ecce mulier una sedens in medio amphorae.Καὶ ἰδοὺ τάλαντον μολίβδου ἐξαιρόμενον· καὶ ἰδοὺ γυνὴ μία ἐκάθητο ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ μέτρου.
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.Et dixit: Haec est impietas. Et proiecit eam in medio amphorae, et misit massam plumbeam in os eius.Καὶ εἶπεν, αὕτη ἐστὶν ἡ ἀνομία· καὶ ἔῤῥιψεν αὐτὴν εἰς μέσον τοῦ μέτρου, καὶ ἔῤῥιψε τὸν λίθον τοῦ μολίβδου εἰς τὸ στόμα αὐτῆς.
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.Et levavi oculos meos, et vidi: et ecce duae mulieres egredientes: et spiritus in alis earum, et habebant alas quasi alas milvi, et levaverunt amphoram inter terram et caelum.Καὶ ᾖρα τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου, καὶ ἴδον, καὶ ἰδοὺ δύο γυναῖκες ἐκπορευόμεναι, καὶ πνεῦμα ἐν ταῖς πτέρυξιν αὐτῶν, καὶ αὗται εἶχον πτέρυγας ἔποπος· καὶ ἀνέλαβον τὸ μέτρον ἀναμέσον τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἀναμέσον τοῦ οὐρανοῦ.
10And I said to the angel that spoke in me: Whither do these carry the vessel?Et dixi ad angelum qui loquebatur in me: Quo istae deferunt amphoram?Καὶ εἶπα πρὸς τὸν ἄγγελον τὸν λαλοῦντα ἐν ἐμοὶ, ποῦ αὗται ἀποφέρουσι τὸ μέτρον;
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.Et dixit ad me: Ut aedificetur ei domus in terra Sennaar, et stabiliatur, et ponatur ibi super basem suam.Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς μὲ, οἰκοδομῆσαι αὐτῷ οἰκίαν ἐν γῇ Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ ἑτοιμάσαι, καὶ θήσουσιν αὐτὸ ἐκεῖ ἐπὶ τὴν ἑτοιμασίαν αὐτοῦ.

The same day, there came some of the Pharisees, saying to him: Depart, and get thee hence, for Herod hath a mind to kill thee. And he said to them: Go and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and do cures today and…
