RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

1 And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked and behold a flying sickle.

1 Y TORNÉME, y alcé mis ojos, y miré, y he aquí un rollo que volaba.

2 And he said to me, What seest thou? And I said, I see a flying sickle, of the length of twenty cubits, and of the breadth of ten cubits.

2 Y díjome: ¿Qué ves? Y respondí: Veo un rollo que vuela, de veinte codos de largo, y diez codos de ancho.

3 And he said to me, This is the curse that goes forth over the face of the whole earth: for every thief shall be punished with death on this side, and every false swearer shall be punished on that side.

3 Díjome entonces: Esta es la maldición que sale sobre la haz de toda la tierra; porque todo aquel que hurta, (como [está] de la una parte del rollo) será destruído; y todo aquel que jura, (como [está] de la otra parte del rollo) será destruído.

4 And I will bring it forth, saith the Lord Almighty, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that swears falsely by my name: and it shall rest in the midst of his house, and shall consume it, and the timber of it, and the stones of it.

4 Yo la saqué, dice Jehová de los ejércitos, y vendrá á la casa del ladrón, y á la casa del que jura falsamente en mi nombre; y permanecerá en medio de su casa, y consumirála, con sus enmaderamientos y sus piedras.

5 And the angel that talked with me went forth, and said to me, Lift up thine eyes, and see this that goes forth.

5 Y salió aquel ángel que hablaba conmigo, y díjome: Alza ahora tus ojos, y mira qué es esto que sale.

6 And I said, What is it? And he said, This is the measure that goes forth. And he said, This is their iniquity in all the earth.

6 Y dije: ¿Qué es? Y él dijo: Este es un epha que sale. Además dijo: Este es el ojo de ellos en toda la tierra.

7 And behold a talent of lead lifted up: and behold a woman sat in the midst of the measure.

7 Y he aquí, traían un talento de plomo, y una mujer estaba asentada en medio de aquel epha.

8 And he said, This is iniquity. And he cast it into the midst of the measure, and cast the weight of lead on the mouth of it.

8 Y él dijo: Esta es la Maldad; y echóla dentro del epha, y echó la masa de plomo en su boca.

9 And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, two women coming forth, and the wind was in their wings; and they had stork's wings: and they lifted up the measure between the earth and the sky.

9 Alcé luego mis ojos, y miré, y he aquí dos mujeres que salían, y traían viento en sus alas, y tenían alas como de cigüeña, y alzaron el epha entre la tierra y los cielos.

10 And I said to the angel that spoke with me, Whither do these carry away the measure?

10 Y dije al ángel que hablaba conmigo: ¿A dónde llevan el epha?

11 And he said to me, To build it a house in the land of Babylon, and to prepare [a place for it]; and they shall set it there on its own base.

11 Y él me respondió: Para que le sea edificada casa en tierra de Shinar: y será asentado y puesto allá sobre su asiento.
