< Zechariah 5 >
1 And I turned and lifted up my eyes: and I saw, and behold a volume flying.
Mehwɛɛ bio, na mihuu nhoma mmobɔwee a ɛretu wɔ wim wɔ mʼanim!
2 And he said to me: What seest thou? And I said: I see a volume flying: the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof 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 goeth forth over the face of the earth: for every thief shall be judged as is there written: and every one that sweareth in like manner shall be judged by it.
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, saith the Lord of hosts: and it shall come to the house of the thief, and to the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it, with the timber thereof, and the stones thereof.
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 went forth that spoke in me, and he said to me: Lift up thy eyes, and see what this is, that goeth 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 is it? And he said: This is a vessel 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 carried, and behold a woman sitting in the midst of the vessel.
Afei woyii kɛntɛn no so sumpii mmuaso no, na mu na na ɔbea bi hyɛ!
8 And he said: This is wickedness. And he cast her into the midst of the vessel, and cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.
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 looked: and behold there came out two women, and wind was in their wings, and they had wings like the wings of a kite: and they lifted up the vessel between the earth and the 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 that spoke in me: Whither do these carry the vessel?
Mibisaa ɔbɔfo a na ɔne me rekasa no se, “Ɛhe na wɔde kɛntɛn no rekɔ?”
11 And he said to me: That a house may be built for it in the land of Sennaar, and that it may be established, and set there upon its own basis.
Obuae se, “Wɔde rekɔ Babilonia asase so akosi fi ama no. Na sɛ, wowie a, wɔde kɛntɛn no bɛkɔ akosi nʼafa.”
