Zekariah 5
1 Angqoi moe, ka khet let naah, kazawk ca tangoeng to ka hnuk.
I looked up again, and I saw a scroll that was flying [through the air].
2 Anih mah kai khaeah, Timaw na hnuk? tiah ang naa. Kai mah, dong pumphaeto kasawk, dong hato kakawk, kazawk ca tangoeng maeto ka hnuk, tiah ka naa.
The angel asked me, “What do you see?” I replied, “I see a flying scroll that is [huge], (10 yards/9 meters) long and (5 yards/4.5 meters) wide.”
3 To naah anih mah kai khaeah, Hae loe long pum ah kacaeh tangoenghaih ah oh: hae bang ih ca tangoeng nuiah tarik ih baktih toengah, paqu kaminawk loe amro o boih tih; ho bang ih ca tangoeng nuiah tarik ih baktih toengah, amsawnlok thui kaminawk loe amro o boih tih.
Then he said to me, “On this scroll is written the [words that Yahweh is speaking to] curse the entire country. On [one side of] the scroll it is written that every thief will be banished. On [the other side] it is written that everyone who tells a lie when he is solemnly promising to tell the truth will also be banished from the country.
4 Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih, Kai mah to ca to ka sin han, kamqu ih imthung ah to ca to akun ueloe, ka hmin hoi amsoem ai ah lokkamhaih sah kami imthung ah doeh akun tih: anih ih imthung ah om ueloe, thing hoi thlungnawk to amrosak boih tih, tiah a naa.
The Commander of the armies of angels says, ‘I will send [copies of] this scroll to the places where thieves live and to the houses of those who use my name when they solemnly promise to tell the truth. [The copies of] this scroll will stay in their houses, until those houses and all their wood and stones are destroyed.’”
5 Kai hoi lokpae van kami loe hmabang ah caeh moe, kai khaeah, Doeng tahang ah, hmabang kacaeh hmuen loe timaw, tito khen noek ah, tiah ang naa.
Then the angel who had been talking to me came closer to me and said, “Look up and see what is appearing!”
6 Kai mah, Hae loe tih aa? tiah ka naa. Anih mah, hae loe hmabang kacaeh benthang ni. Long pum ah kaom kaminawk ih zaehaih loe hae tiah oh, tiah ang naa.
I asked him, “What is it?” He replied, “It is a big basket [for measuring grain]. But it represents the sins that everyone in this nation has committed.”
7 To pacoengah khenah, benthang kraenghaih akhuem to paongh o, to naah benthang thungah anghnu nongpata maeto oh:
Then [the angel] lifted the basket’s cover, [which was made] of lead. There was a woman sitting inside the basket!
8 to naah anih mah, Hae nongpata loe kasae hnuksakhaih ih ni, tiah ang thuih; van kami mah nongpata to benthang thungah a vah let; benthang loe kacakah akhuem to khuem o.
The angel said, “She represents the wicked things [that people do].” Then the angel pushed her back into the basket and closed the very heavy lid [again].
9 To pacoengah mik padai moe, ka khet tahang naah, angzo nongpata hnetto ka hnuk, nihnik ih pakhraeh ah loe takhi to oh; nihnik loe tui tavaa baktiah pakhraeh a tawnh hoi: nihnik mah benthang to van hoi long salakah atoengh hoi.
Then I looked up and saw two women in front of me. They [were flying toward us], with their wings spread out in the wind. Their wings were [large], like [SIM] storks’ wings. They lifted the big basket up into the sky.
10 Kai hoi lokpae van kami khaeah, Benthang loe naa ah maw sin hoi tih? tiah ka naa.
I asked the angel who had been talking to me, “Where are they taking that basket?”
11 Anih mah kai khaeah, Shinar prae ah benthang ih im sak pae hanah a sin hoi: ohhaih ahmuen sak hoi pacoengah, to ah benthang to suem hoi tih, tiah ang naa.
He replied, “[They are taking it] to Babylonia to build a temple for it. When the temple is finished, they will set the basket there on a pedestal [for people to worship it].”
