Zekaria 5
1 Ne atingʼo wangʼa kendo, mi napo ka aneno kalatas mafuyo e kor yamo!
I looked up again, and I saw a scroll that was flying [through the air].
2 Nopenja niya, “En angʼo mineno?” Ne adwoke niya, “Kalatas mafuyo e kor yamo, ma borne oromo fut piero ochiko gaboro, to lachne fut piero angʼwen gochiko.”
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 Eka nowachona niya, “Ma e kwongʼ madhi e piny duto; nikech mana kaka owacho e bathe konchiel, jokwoge duto ibiro negi kendo kaluwore gi gima owacho e bathe komachielo, joma kwongʼore gi miriambo, bende ibiro negi.
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 Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho ni, ‘Abiro ore mondo odonji e od jakuo kendo e od ngʼat makwongʼore gi miriambo gi nyinga. Kwongʼno nosik e udigo matiekgi nyaka kite mogerego duto.’”
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 Eka malaika mane loso koda nosudo machiegni mowachona niya, “Tingʼ wangʼi malo mondo ine gima bironi, ni en angʼo?”
Then the angel who had been talking to me came closer to me and said, “Look up and see what is appearing!”
6 Napenjo niya, “En angʼo?” To nodwoka niya, “En atonga mar pimo mopongʼ gi richo mag ji e piny ngima.”
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 Apoya nono raumne mapek mar chuma noel kendo ne aneno dhako moro kobet piny ei atongano!
Then [the angel] lifted the basket’s cover, [which was made] of lead. There was a woman sitting inside the basket!
8 Malaika nowacho niya, “Ma en richo.” Omiyo nodhiro dhakono kodwoko ei atonga mi noumo dho atongano gi raum mapekno.
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 Eka natingʼo wangʼa, mi napo kaneno mon ariyo ka huyo e kor yamo. Ne gin gi bwombe ariyo machalo gi mag nyamnaha, kendo negikawo atonga mi gidhigo e kor polo malo.
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 Napenjo malaika mane loso koda niya, “Gitero atongano kanye?”
I asked the angel who had been talking to me, “Where are they taking that basket?”
11 Nodwoka niya, “Gitere e piny Babulon mondo gigerne ot kuno. Ka odno oseikore, to noket atongano kare moselosne kanyo.”
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].”
