< Zechariah 5 >
1 And I lifted up mine eyes again, and saw, and behold, a flying roll.
Pea ne u toki tangaki ai ki mui, pea sio hake hoku mata pea u mamata, pea vakai ko e takainga tohi ʻoku puna.
2 And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I see a flying roll: the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.
Pea naʻa ne pehē mai kiate au, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke mamata ki ai?” Pea ne u pehēange, ʻOku ou sio ki ha takainga tohi ʻoku puna; ko hono lōloa ko e hanga ʻe fāngofulu, pea ko e hanga ʻe uofulu ʻa hono laulahi.
3 And he said unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole land: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off according to it on this side; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off according to it on that side.
Pea naʻe toki pehē mai ʻe ia, “Ko eni ia ʻae malaʻia ʻoku ʻalu atu ki he funga ʻo māmani kotoa pē; he koeʻuhi ʻe motuhi kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku kaihaʻa, ʻo fakatatau mo ia, pea ʻe motuhi mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku kape ʻo fakatatau mo ia.
4 I will cause it to go forth, saith Jehovah of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name; and it shall lodge in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, te u ʻomi ia ʻeau, pea ʻe hū ia ki he fale ʻoe kaihaʻa, pea mo e fale ʻo ia ʻoku kape mo loi ʻi hoku hingoa: pea ʻe nofo ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo hono fale, pea te ne fakaʻauha ia, ʻae ʻakau ʻo hono alanga fale, pea mo hono ngaahi maka.”
5 And the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth.
Pea naʻe toki ʻalu atu ʻae ʻāngelo ʻaia naʻa ma talanoa mo au, ʻo ne pehē kiate au, “Hanga hake eni ho mata, pea ke sio pe ko e hā ʻae meʻa ni ʻoku ʻalu atu.”
6 And I said, What is it? And he said, This is the ephah that goeth forth. And he said, This is their resemblance in all the land.
Pea naʻaku pehē, “Ko e hā ia?” Pea ne pehē mai, “Ko e efa ia ʻoku hā mai.” Naʻa ne pehē mai foki, “Ko honau fakatātā eni ʻi māmani kotoa pē.”
7 And behold, there was lifted up a round plate of lead; and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.
Pea vakai, ne hiki hake ʻae konga pulu mamafa: pea ko e fefine ia ʻoku nofo ʻi he loto efa.
8 And he said, This is Wickedness: and he cast her into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.
Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Ko angahala ia.” Pea naʻa ne lī ia ki he loto efa; pea naʻa ne tataʻo ʻaki hono ngutu ʻae konga pulu mamafa.
9 And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; and they had wings like the wings of a stork; and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heavens.
Hili ia naʻaku hanga hake hoku mata, pea u sio, pea vakai naʻe haʻu ʻae ongo fafine ʻe toko ua, pea naʻe ʻi hona kapakau ʻae matangi; he naʻa na kapakau ʻo hangē ko e sitoaki: pea naʻa na hiki hake ʻae efa ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo māmani mo e langi.
10 And I said to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these carry the ephah?
Pea naʻaku pehē ai ki he ʻāngelo ʻaia naʻa ma talanoa mo au, “ʻOku na fua ki fē ʻae efa?”
11 And he said unto me, To build it a house in the land of Shinar; and it shall be established, and set there upon its own base.
Pea naʻa ne pehē mai kiate au, “Ke langa ʻae fale moʻona ʻi he fonua ko Sinaʻa: pea ʻe fokotuʻu ia ʻi ai, ʻo tuku ʻi ai ki hono tuʻunga pe ʻoʻona.”
