Zechariah 5

1 I looked again and saw a flying scroll.

Nígbà náà ni mo yípadà, mo sì gbé ojú mi sókè, mo sì wò, sì kíyèsi i, ìwé kíká ti ń fò.

2 “What do you see?” asked the angel. “I see a flying scroll,” I replied. “It's thirty feet long and fifteen feet wide.”

Ó sì wí fún mi pé, “Kí ni ìwọ rí?” Èmi sì dáhùn pé, “Mo rí ìwé kíká tí ń fò; gígùn rẹ̀ jẹ́ ogún ìgbọ̀nwọ́, ìbú rẹ̀ sì jẹ́ ìgbọ̀nwọ́ mẹ́wàá.”

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.”

Ó sì wí fún mi pé, “Èyí ni ègún tí ó jáde lọ sí gbogbo ilẹ̀ ayé, nítorí gbogbo àwọn tí ó bá jalè ni a ó ké kúrò láti ìhín lọ nípa rẹ̀; gbogbo àwọn tí ó bá sì búra èké ni a ó ké kúrò láti ìhín lọ nípa rẹ̀.

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.”

Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí pé, ‘Èmi yóò mú un jáde, Èmi yóò si wọ inú ilé olè lọ, àti inú ilé ẹni ti o bá fi orúkọ mi búra èké, yóò si wà ni àárín ilé rẹ̀, yóò si rún pẹ̀lú igi àti òkúta inú rẹ̀.’”

5 Then the angel I had been talking to came over to me and said, “Look. What do you see moving away?”

Angẹli tí ń bá mi sọ̀rọ̀ sì jáde lọ, ó sì wí fún mi pé, “Gbé ojú rẹ sókè nísinsin yìí, kí o sì wo nǹkan tí yóò jáde lọ.”

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.

Mo sì wí pé, “Kí ni nǹkan náà?” Ó sì wí pé, “Èyí ni òsùwọ̀n tí ó jáde lọ.” Ó sì wí pé, “Èyí ni àwòrán ní gbogbo ilẹ̀ ayé.”

7 Then the lead lid was lifted from the barrel and there was a woman sitting inside.

Sì kíyèsi i, a gbé tálẹ́ǹtì òjé sókè, obìnrin kan sì nìyìí tí ó jókòó sí àárín àpẹẹrẹ òsùwọ̀n.

8 “She represents wickedness,” he said, and pushed her back inside, forcing the lead lid shut.

Ó sì wí pé, “Èyí ni ìwà búburú.” Ó sì ti sí àárín òsùwọ̀n, ó sì ju ìdérí òjé sí ẹnu rẹ̀.

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.

Mo sì gbé ojú mi sókè, mo sì wò, sì kíyèsi i, obìnrin méjì jáde wá, ẹ̀fúùfù sì wá nínú ìyẹ́ wọn; nítorí wọ́n ní ìyẹ́ bí ìyẹ́ àkọ̀, wọ́n sì gbé àpẹẹrẹ òsùwọ̀n náà dé àárín méjì ayé àti ọ̀run.

10 “Where are they taking it?” I asked the angel I was talking to.

Mo sì sọ fún angẹli tí ó ń bá mi sọ̀rọ̀ pé, “Níbo ni àwọn wọ̀nyí ń gbé òsùwọ̀n náà lọ.”

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.”

Ó si wí fún mi pé, “Sí orílẹ̀-èdè Babeli láti kọ ilé fún un. Tí ó bá ṣetán, a ó sì fi ìdí rẹ̀ mulẹ̀, a o sì fi ka orí ìpìlẹ̀ rẹ̀ níbẹ̀.”
