Zechariah 5
1 Then again I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, a flying scroll.
Mehwɛɛ bio, na mihuu nhoma mmobɔwee a ɛretu wɔ wim wɔ mʼanim!
2 He said to me, “What do you see?” I answered, “I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty cubits, and its width ten cubits.”
Obisaa me se, “Dɛn na wuhu yi?” Mibuae se, “Mihu nhoma mmobɔwee a ɛnenam wim a ne tenten yɛ anammɔn aduasa, na ne trɛw nso yɛ anammɔn dunum.”
3 Then he said to me, “This is the curse that goes out over the surface of the whole land, for everyone who steals shall be cut off according to it on the one side; and everyone who swears falsely shall be cut off according to it on the other side.
Na ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Eyi ne nnome a ɛreba asase yi so nyinaa; sɛnea ɔfa baako kyerɛ no, wɔbɛpam ɔkorɔmfo biara, na ɔfa baako nso kyerɛ sɛ, obiara a ɔka ntamhunu no, wɔbɛpam no.
4 I will cause it to go out,” says the LORD of Armies, “and it will enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him who swears falsely by my name; and it will remain in the middle of his house, and will destroy it with its timber and its stones.”
Asafo Awurade pae mu ka se, ‘Meresoma nnome yi na ɛbɛhyɛn ɔkorɔmfo ne obiara a ɔde me din ka ntamhunu no fi. Ɛbɛka ofie hɔ na asɛe ne nnua ne abo.’”
5 Then the angel who talked with me came forward and said to me, “Lift up now your eyes and see what this is that is appearing.”
Afei ɔbɔfo a na ɔne me rekasa no baa nʼanim bɛka kyerɛɛ me se, “Ma wʼani so na hwɛ eyi, nea ɛreba yi.”
6 I said, “What is it?” He said, “This is the ephah basket that is appearing.” He said moreover, “This is their appearance in all the land—
Mibisa sɛ “Ɛyɛ dɛn?” Obuae se, “Ɛyɛ kɛntɛn a wɔde susuw nneɛma.” Ɔtoaa so se, “nnipa a wɔwɔ wiase yi mu bɔne ahyɛ no ma.”
7 and behold, a lead cover weighing one talent was lifted up—and there was a woman sitting in the middle of the ephah basket.”
Afei woyii kɛntɛn no so sumpii mmuaso no, na mu na na ɔbea bi hyɛ!
8 He said, “This is Wickedness;” and he threw her down into the middle of the ephah basket; and he threw the lead weight on its mouth.
Ɔkae se, “Eyi yɛ atirimɔdensɛm,” afei ɔkaa ɔbea no hyɛɛ kɛntɛn no mu na ɔde sumpii mmuaso no kataa no so.
9 Then I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, there were two women; and the wind was in their wings. Now they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ephah basket between earth and the sky.
Afei memaa me ti so huu mmea baanu a wɔwɔ ntaban te sɛ asukɔnkɔn de a wɔde dannan wɔn ho wɔ wim. Wɔmaa kɛntɛn no so kɔɔ wim, ɔsoro ne asase ntam.
10 Then I said to the angel who talked with me, “Where are these carrying the ephah basket?”
Mibisaa ɔbɔfo a na ɔne me rekasa no se, “Ɛhe na wɔde kɛntɛn no rekɔ?”
11 He said to me, “To build her a house in the land of Shinar. When it is prepared, she will be set there in her own place.”
Obuae se, “Wɔde rekɔ Babilonia asase so akosi fi ama no. Na sɛ, wowie a, wɔde kɛntɛn no bɛkɔ akosi nʼafa.”
