英語原文
Zec 5:1-4.
SIXTH VISION. THE FLYING ROLL. The fraudulent and perjuring transgressors of the law shall be extirpated from Judea.
1. flying roll--of papyrus, or dressed skins, used for writing on when paper was not known. It was inscribed with the words of the curse
(De 27:15-26; 28:15-68).
Being written implied that its contents were beyond all escape or repeal
(Eze 2:9).
Its "flying" shows that its curses were ready swiftly to visit the transgressors. It was unrolled, or else its dimensions could not have been seen
(Zec 5:2).
Being open to all, none could say in excuse he knew not the law and the curses of disobedience. As the previous visions intimated God's favor in restoring the Jewish state, so this vision announces judgment, intimating that God, notwithstanding His favor, did not approve of their sins. Being written on both sides, "on this and on that side"
(Zec 5:3)
[VATABLUS] connects it with the two tables of the law
(Ex 32:15),
and implies its comprehensiveness. One side denounced "him that sweareth falsely
(Zec 5:4)
by God's name," according to the third commandment of the first table, duty to God; the other side denounced theft, according to the eighth commandment, which is in the second table, duty to one's neighbor.

2. 長……二十肘……寬……十肘——即三十英尺乘十五英尺，正是聖殿廊子的尺寸（1Ki 6:3），律法通常在那裏誦讀，表明它在神權政體中具有屬神的權威。其巨大的尺寸暗示其中所載咒詛之多。希伯來文中「卷」或「書卷」一詞也用以指律法（Ps 40:7）。
英語原文
2. length . . . twenty cubits . . . breadth . . . ten cubits--thirty feet by fifteen, the dimensions of the temple porch
(1Ki 6:3),
where the law was usually read, showing that it was divinely authoritative in the theocracy. Its large size implies the great number of the curses contained. The Hebrew for "roll" or "volume" is used of the law
(Ps 40:7).

3. 咒詛……遍地——（Mal 4:6）。外邦人也在律法的咒詛之下，因為他們良心未麻木、未敗壞到極處時，律法的實質已寫在他們心上（Ro 2:15）。
剪除——字面作「清除」。
這面……那面——書卷的兩面〔瓦塔布盧斯 VATABLUS〕。從這邊……從這邊（重複兩次，正如「房屋」在 Zec 5:4 重複）〔毛勒 MAURER〕；「這裏」也如此使用，Ge 37:17（或作「這面那面」，即四面八方）〔亨德森 HENDERSON〕。無人能逃脫，無論他在何處犯罪：因為神要從這一邊到那一邊，毫無例外地召所有人受審〔加爾文 CALVIN〕。神連「這地方」耶路撒冷犯罪時也不放過〔彭貝盧斯 PEMBELLUS〕。英文譯本似採瓦塔布盧斯的見解。
照……所記的——即照書上所寫的。
英語原文
3. curse . . . earth--
(Mal 4:6).
The Gentiles are amenable to the curse of the law, as they have its substance, so far as they have not seared and corrupted conscience, written on their hearts
(Ro 2:15).
cut off--literally, "cleared away."
as on this side . . . as on that side--both sides of the roll [VATABLUS]. From this place . . . from this place (repeated twice, as "the house" is repeated in
Zec 5:4)
[MAURER]; so "hence" is used,
Ge 37:17
(or, "on this and on that side," that is, on every side) [HENDERSON]. None can escape, sin where he may: for God from one side to the other shall call all without exception to judgment [CALVIN]. God will not spare even "this place," Jerusalem, when it sins [PEMBELLUS]. English Version seems to take VATABLUS' view.
according to it--according as it is written.

4. 此處直接所指的「偷竊」，與 Ne 13:10; Mal 3:8 所控訴的褻瀆聖物之罪相似。他們因顧念建造自己的房屋、卻不顧念建造神的殿而奪取了神當得的分，背棄了對祂的誓言；因此他們所建造的「房屋」要被神的「咒詛」「吞滅」。字面上的偷竊與起假誓，大概也伴隨著他們在神殿之事上實質的偷竊與妄誓（Mal 3:5）。偷竊與妄誓並行；因為貪婪欺詐的人會毫無顧忌地奉神的名起假誓（見 Pr 30:9）。
進入……房屋——他們雖嚴加防備、將自己關鎖，也是徒然；咒詛必不可避免地進入，即使在他們以為最安全之時。
吞滅……木頭……石頭——一點痕跡也不留。因此痲瘋病人（罪人的預表）之房屋的「石頭」與「木頭」也要被全然除掉（Le 14:15；比較 1Ki 18:38）。
英語原文
4. The "theft" immediately meant is similar sacrilege to that complained of in
Ne 13:10; Mal 3:8.
They robbed God by neglecting to give Him His due in building His house, while they built their own houses, forswearing their obligations to Him; therefore, the "houses" they build shall be "consumed" with God's "curse." Probably literal theft and perjury accompanied their virtual theft and perjury as to the temple of God
(Mal 3:5).
Stealing and perjury go together; for the covetous and fraudulent perjure themselves by God's name without scruple (see
Pr 30:9).
enter . . . the house--In vain they guard and shut themselves up who incur the curse; it will inevitably enter even when they think themselves most secure.
consume . . . timber . . . stones--not leaving a vestige of it. So the "stones" and "timber" of the house of a leper (type of the sinner) were to be utterly removed
(Le 14:15;
compare
1Ki 18:38).

Zec 5:5-11.
第七個異象。
量器中的婦人。
邪惡與拜偶像之罪從聖地被遷到巴比倫，在那裏與其同類的元素相混。
伊法（ephah）是希伯來人的乾量單位，約含一蒲式耳，即七加侖半。暗指前一個關於偷竊和妄誓的異象：他們藉著在量器上弄虛作假而用來欺詐人的伊法，如今要成為刑罰他們的工具〔格羅提烏斯 GROTIUS〕。比較「這是惡人在遍地的形狀」（Zec 5:6），即這是猶太人所行的、以及他們將受之苦的描繪。他們完全的分散（「示拿地」象徵他們如今分散所在的各外邦之地）在此被預告——當他們罪惡的量度（伊法所暗指）滿溢之時。前一個異象宣告對個人的審判；這一個則針對整個國家：但以隱晦的方式，免得挫敗他們當前的建造工程〔彭貝盧斯 PEMBELLUS〕。更恰當地說，這異象是緊接前一個之後的安慰〔加爾文 CALVIN〕。拜偶像及其同類的罪——貪婪與欺詐（在書卷的異象中被定罪）——要從聖地遠遠遷移到其本性相合的土壤上，永不再返回（參 Zec 3:9; Isa 27:9; 52:1; 60:21; Jer 50:20; Zep 3:13）。自巴比倫被擄以來兩千多年，猶太人已脫離了拜偶像；但這預言的完全應驗尚在未來，到以色列歸回巴勒斯坦並歸向基督之時，一切罪都要從其中除淨。
5. 出來——那解釋的天使在書卷異象之後退去，為要從神聖的使者領受新的啟示傳達給先知。
英語原文
Zec 5:5-11.
SEVENTH VISION. THE WOMAN IN THE EPHAH. Wickedness and idolatry removed from the Holy Land to Babylon, there to mingle with their kindred elements.
The ephah is the Hebrew dry measure containing about a bushel, or seven and a half gallons. Alluding to the previous vision as to theft and perjury: the ephah which, by falsification of the measure, they made the instrument of defrauding, shall be made the instrument of their punishment [GROTIUS]. Compare "this is their resemblance"
(Zec 5:6),
that is, this is a representation of what the Jews have done, and what they shall suffer. Their total dispersion ("the land of Shinar" being the emblem of the various Gentile lands of their present dispersion) is herein fortetold, when the measure (to which the ephah alludes) of their sins should be full. The former vision denounces judgment on individuals; this one, on the whole state: but enigmatically, not to discourage their present building [PEMBELLUS]. Rather, the vision is consolatory after the preceding one [CALVIN]. Idolatry and its kindred sins, covetousness and fraud (denounced in the vision of the roll), shall be removed far out of the Holy Land to their own congenial soil, never to return (so
Zec 3:9; Isa 27:9; 52:1; 60:21; Jer 50:20; Zep 3:13).
For more than two thousand years, ever since the Babylonian exile, the Jews have been free from idolatry; but the full accomplishment of the prophecy is yet future, when all sin shall be purged from Israel on their return to Palestine, and conversion to Christ.
5. went forth--The interpreting angel had withdrawn after the vision of the roll to receive a fresh revelation from the Divine Angel to communicate to the prophet.

6. 這是他們的形狀——字面作「眼」（比較 Eze 1:4, 5, 16）。亨斯滕貝格（HENGSTENBERG）譯為：「他們（百姓的）眼」全都注視邪惡。但英文譯本較佳。「這是（猶太人）在全地的形狀（即一個形象）」（不是如英文譯本所譯的「在全地上」），即邪惡猶太人的形狀。
這——這裏用來指伊法裏面的東西，不是伊法本身。
英語原文
6. This is their resemblance--literally, "eye" (compare
Eze 1:4, 5, 16).
HENGSTENBERG translates, "Their (the people's) eye" was all directed to evil. But English Version is better. "This is the appearance (that is, an image) of the Jews in all the land" (not as English Version, "in all the earth"), that is, of the wicked Jews.
This--Here used of what was within the ephah, not the ephah itself.

7. 舉起——伊法的蓋被掀開，讓先知看見其中的「罪惡」女性擬人化形象，即將從猶大地被遷移。蓋是「鉛」的，暗示那「婦人」無法逃脫這壓住她的沉重擔子。
圓鉛——字面作「圓塊」：故指一他連得，重一百二十五金衡磅。
婦人——「罪惡」比作婦人，見 Pr 2:16; 5:3, 4。將抽象概念擬人化時用陰性，因與「生育生命」的觀念相連。
英語原文
7. lifted up--The cover is lifted off the ephah to let the prophet see the female personification of "wickedness" within, about to be removed from Judea. The cover being "of lead," implies that the "woman" cannot escape from the ponderous load which presses her down.
talent--literally, "a round piece": hence a talent, a weight of one hundred twenty-five pounds troy.
woman--for comparison of "wickedness" to a woman,
Pr 2:16; 5:3, 4.
In personifying abstract terms, the feminine is used, as the idea of giving birth to life is associated with woman.

8. 罪惡——字面作「那罪惡」：暗示罪惡在其獨特發展中的形態。比較「那不法的人」，2Th 2:3。
扔在其中——即把她——那在沉重的蓋子被部分掀開時曾較自由活動的罪惡——扔在其中。
圓鉛——字面作「石頭」，即圓塊。
英語原文
8. wickedness--literally, "the wickedness": implying wickedness in its peculiar development. Compare "the man of sin,"
2Th 2:3.
cast it--that is, her, Wickedness, who had moved more freely while the heavy lid was partially lifted off.
weight--literally, "stone," that is, round mass.

9. 搬運那「婦人」的使者，按照形象一致的原則，也是「婦人」。神使惡人自己成為懲罰和除掉罪惡的使者。「兩個」是被使用的，因一個不足以搬運如此重擔〔毛勒 MAURER〕。或說是指亞述人和巴比倫人，他們分別在以色列和猶大的人中把拜偶像之罪擄去〔亨德森 HENDERSON〕。正如兩個「受膏者」（Zec 4:14）侍立在主身旁作祂的僕役，照樣兩個有翅膀的婦人執行祂此處除掉「罪惡」化身的旨意：對應「不法的奧秘」（七十士譯本在撒迦利亞書此處所用的詞與保羅所用相同）和「不法的人」，主要用口中的氣和降臨的榮光廢掉他（2Th 2:3, 7, 8）。
她們的「翅膀」表達迅速。「鸛鳥」翅膀長而寬，故特別指明；牠也是候鳥。「風」有助於翅膀的迅速運動。「在天地之間舉起」暗示審判在所有人眼前公開執行。正如此處「婦人」被遷到巴比倫作她自己的住處，照樣聖約翰《啟示錄》中的婦人就是巴比倫（Re 17:3-5）。
英語原文
9. The agents to carry away the "woman" are, consistently with the image, "women." God makes the wicked themselves the agents of punishing and removing wickedness. "Two" are employed, as one is not enough to carry such a load [MAURER]. Or, the Assyrians and Babylonians, who carried away idolatry in the persons, respectively, of Israel and Judah [HENDERSON]. As two "anointed ones"
(Zec 4:14)
stand by the Lord as His ministers, so two winged women execute His purpose here in removing the embodiment of "wickedness": answering to the "mystery of iniquity" (the Septuagint here in Zechariah uses the same words as Paul and "the man of sin," whom the Lord shall destroy with the spirit of His mouth and the brightness of His coming,
2Th 2:3, 7, 8).
Their "wings" express velocity. The "stork" has long and wide wings, for which reason it is specified; also it is a migratory bird. The "wind" helps the rapid motion of the wings. The being "lifted up between heaven and earth" implies open execution of the judgment before the eyes of all. As the "woman" here is removed to Babylon as her own dwelling, so the woman in the Apocalypse of St. John is Babylon
(Re 17:3-5).

11. 在……示拿地建造房屋——即巴比倫（Ge 10:10），是與神對抗之世界帝國的首都，故泛指不虔之所在。猶太人自己在巴比倫「建造房屋」（Jer 29:5, 28），表達了他們在那裏長久的被擄；照樣在那裏為「罪惡」建造房屋，暗示它要永遠留下。
安置……在它自己的地方——固定在那裏，如在其本位。「罪惡」既從猶大被逐出，便要永遠住在反基督的叛教者中（巴比倫是其預表），他們要收割其當得的果子。
英語原文
11. To build . . . house in . . . Shinar--Babylonia
(Ge 10:10),
the capital of the God-opposed world kingdoms, and so representing in general the seat of irreligion. As the "building of houses" in Babylon
(Jer 29:5, 28)
by the Jews themselves expressed their long exile there, so the building of an house for "wickedness" there implies its permanent stay.
set . . . upon her own base--fixed there as in its proper place. "Wickedness" being cast out of Judah, shall for ever dwell with the antichristian apostates (of whom Babylon is the type), who shall reap the fruit of it, which they deserve.
Zec 5:1-4.
第六個異象。
飛行的書卷。
律法中欺詐與起假誓的違犯者，必從猶大地被剪除。
1. 飛行的書卷——用蒲草或加工過的獸皮製成，在紙張尚未為人知之時用以書寫。其上寫著咒詛之言（De 27:15-26; 28:15-68）。它被寫下，意味著其內容無可逃避、不可撤銷（Eze 2:9）。
它「飛行」，表明其咒詛隨時要迅速臨到違犯者。它是展開的，否則其尺寸不能被人看見（Zec 5:2）。
它向所有人敞開，無人可以推諉說自己不曉得律法和悖逆的咒詛。前面的異象既表明神在復興猶太國時所施的恩惠，這個異象則宣告審判，暗示神雖施恩卻不喜悅他們的罪。它兩面都寫著字，「這面那面」（Zec 5:3）〔瓦塔布盧斯 VATABLUS〕將之與兩塊法版（Ex 32:15）相連，並表明其完備性。一面針對「凡起假誓（Zec 5:4）奉神名的」宣告審判，這是第一塊法版第三條誡命所定——即對神當盡的本分；另一面則針對偷竊，這是第二塊法版第八條誡命所定——即對鄰舍當盡的本分。
