Zechariah 5
1 And I turned and lifted up my eyes. And I saw, and behold, a book flying.
Mehwɛɛ bio, na mihuu nhoma mmobɔwee a ɛretu wɔ wim wɔ mʼanim!
2 And he said to me, “What do you see?” And I said, “I see a book flying. Its length is twenty cubits, and its width is 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 And he said to me, “This is the curse that goes forth over the face of the whole earth. For every thief will be judged, just as it has been written there, and everyone who swears by this, will be judged in like manner.”
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 bring it forth, says the Lord of hosts, and it will approach to the house of the thief, and to the house of him who swears falsely by my name, and it will remain in the midst of his house and will consume it, with its wood 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 And the angel had departed, who was speaking with me. And he said to me, “Lift up your eyes, and see what this is, that goes forth.”
Afei ɔbɔfo a na ɔne me rekasa no baa nʼanim bɛka kyerɛɛ me se, “Ma wʼani so na hwɛ eyi, nea ɛreba yi.”
6 And I said, “What, then, is it?” And he said, “This is a container going forth.” And he said, “This is their eye in all the earth.”
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 talent of lead was being carried; and behold, one woman sitting in the middle of the container.
Afei woyii kɛntɛn no so sumpii mmuaso no, na mu na na ɔbea bi hyɛ!
8 And he said, “This is impiety.” And he cast her into the middle of the container, and he sent the weight of lead into its mouth.
Ɔkae se, “Eyi yɛ atirimɔdensɛm,” afei ɔkaa ɔbea no hyɛɛ kɛntɛn no mu na ɔde sumpii mmuaso no kataa no so.
9 And I lifted up my eyes and I saw. And behold, two women were departing, and a spirit was in their wings, and they had wings like the wings of a kite, and they lifted up the container between earth and heaven.
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 And I said to the angel who was speaking with me, “Where are they taking the container?”
Mibisaa ɔbɔfo a na ɔne me rekasa no se, “Ɛhe na wɔde kɛntɛn no rekɔ?”
11 And he said to me, “To a house that may be built for it in the land of Shinar, and so that it may be established and set there upon its own base.”
Obuae se, “Wɔde rekɔ Babilonia asase so akosi fi ama no. Na sɛ, wowie a, wɔde kɛntɛn no bɛkɔ akosi nʼafa.”
