Zechariah 5
1 I looked again and saw a flying scroll.
Ka mael tih, ka mik ka huel tih ka sawt vaengah cayol te tarha ding.
2 “What do you see?” asked the angel. “I see a flying scroll,” I replied. “It's thirty feet long and fifteen feet wide.”
Te vaengah kai te, “Balae na hmuh,” a ti. Te dongah, “Cayol aka ding te ka hmuh, a yun dong kul, a daang dong rha lo,” ka ti nah.
3 He told me, “This is the curse that is going out to all the world. Anyone who steals will be purged from society, according to one side of the scroll. Anyone who swears lies under oath will be purged from society, according to the other side of the scroll.”
Te vaengah kai taengah, “He tah diklai hman boeih ah aka pha thaephoeinah ni. Aka huen boeih soah te dongkah bangla a hmil vetih aka toemngam boeih soah te dongkah bangla a hmil ni.
4 “I have sent the curse out and it will go into the house of the thief and into the house of the one who swears lies in my name, declares the Lord Almighty. The curse will remain in that house, and will destroy it, both the timbers and the stones.”
He tah caempuei BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Cayol ka khuen vetih hlanghuen im khui la, kai ming neh a honghi la aka toemngam im khuila kun ni. A im khui ah rhaehrhong vetih im khaw, a thing neh a lungto khaw a khah pah ni,” a ti.
5 Then the angel I had been talking to came over to me and said, “Look. What do you see moving away?”
Te phoeiah kai taengkah aka cal puencawn ha pai tih kai taengah, “Na mik huel laeh lamtah mebang a thoeng he hmu,” a ti.
6 “What is it?” I asked. “What you see moving away is a barrel full of the sins of everyone in the country,” he replied.
Te dongah, “Balae te,” ka ti nah hatah, “Cangnoek la aka thoeng he,” a ti. Te phoeiah, “He tah diklai tom kah amih mueimae ni,” a ti.
7 Then the lead lid was lifted from the barrel and there was a woman sitting inside.
Te vaengah kawnlawk amsing te tarha rhoep uh tih cangnoek khui ah huta pakhat ana ngol.
8 “She represents wickedness,” he said, and pushed her back inside, forcing the lead lid shut.
Te phoeiah, “Halangnah he,” a ti tih anih te cangnoek khui la a det. Te phoeiah tah a rhai te kawnlawk lung neh a nan.
9 I looked once more and saw two women flying towards me. Their wings looked like those of a stork. They picked up the barrel and flew away, high into the sky.
Ka mik ka huel bal tih ka sawt vaengah, huta rhoi te khohli dongah a phae neh tarha thoeng. Te rhoi kah a phae tah bungrho phae bangla om tih cangnoek te diklai laklo neh vaan laklo ah a khuen rhoi.
10 “Where are they taking it?” I asked the angel I was talking to.
Te dongah kai taengah aka cal puencawn te, “Cangnoek te melam a khuen rhoi?,” ka ti nah.
11 “They're taking it to the land of Babylon to build a house for it. When the house is ready, the barrel will be placed at its base.”
Te vaengah kai taengah, “Shinar kho ah a im la a sak. Sikim coeng tih a tungkho dongah pahoi a hol ni,” a ti.
