Zechariah 5
1 Then I turned me, and lifted vp mine eyes and looked, and beholde, a flying booke.
Ndinayangʼananso ndipo taonani ndinaona chikalata chimene chimawuluka.
2 And he said vnto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying booke: the length thereof is twentie cubites, and the breadth thereof tenne cubites.
Mngelo uja anandifunsa kuti, “Kodi ukuona chiyani?” Ndinayankha kuti, “Ndikuona chikalata chikuwuluka, mulitali mwake mamita asanu ndi anayi ndipo mulifupi mwake mamita anayi ndi theka.”
3 Then said he vnto me, This is the curse that goeth foorth ouer the whole earth: for euery one that stealeth, shalbe cut off aswell on this side, as on that: and euery one that sweareth, shall be cut off aswell on this side, as on that.
Ndipo mngeloyo anandiwuza kuti, “Awa ndi matemberero amene akupita pa dziko lonse lapansi; potsata zimene zalembedwa mʼkati mwa chikalatamo, aliyense wakuba adzachotsedwa, ndipo potsata zomwe zalembedwa kunja kwake, aliyense wolumbira zabodza adzachotsedwanso.
4 I will bring it forth, saith the Lord of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thiefe, and into the house of him, that falsely sweareth by my Name: and it shall remaine in the middes of his house, and shall consume it, with the timber thereof, and stones thereof.
Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akunena kuti, ‘Temberero limeneli ndidzalitumiza, ndipo lidzalowa mʼnyumba ya munthu wakuba ndi munthu wolumbira zabodza mʼdzina langa. Lidzakhala mʼnyumbamo mpaka kuyiwonongeratu, matabwa ake ndi miyala yake yomwe.’”
5 Then the Angel that talked with me, went foorth, and said vnto me, Lift vp now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth foorth.
Kenaka mngelo amene amayankhula nane uja anabwera patsogolo panga ndipo anandiwuza kuti, “Kweza maso ako tsopano kuti uwone kuti ndi chiyani chikubwerachi.”
6 And I saide, What is it? And hee sayde, This is an Ephah that goeth foorth. Hee saide moreouer, This is the sight of them through all the earth.
Ndinafunsa kuti, “Kodi chimenechi nʼchiyani?” Mngeloyo anayankha kuti, “Limeneli ndi dengu loyezera.” Ndipo anawonjezera kunena kuti, “Umenewu ndi uchimo wa anthu mʼdziko lonse.”
7 And beholde, there was lift vp a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the middes of the Ephah.
Pamenepo chovundikira chake chamtovu chinatukulidwa, ndipo mʼdengumo munali mutakhala mkazi.
8 And he said, This is wickednes, and he cast it into the middes of the Ephah, and hee cast the weight of lead vpon the mouth thereof.
Mngeloyo anati, “Chimenechi ndi choyipa,” ndipo anamukankhira mkaziyo mʼdengu muja, nabwezera chovundikira chamtovu chija pamwamba pake.
9 Then lift I vp mine eyes, and looked: and beholde, there came out two women, and the winde was in their wings (for they had wings like the wings of a storke) and they lift vp the Ephah betweene the earth and the heauen.
Kenaka ndinayangʼananso, ndipo ndinaona akazi awiri akuwuluka kubwera kumene kunali ine; akuwuluzika ndi mphepo. Iwo anali ndi mapiko ngati a kakowa, ndipo ananyamula dengu lija, kupita nalo pakati pa mlengalenga ndi dziko lapansi.
10 Then saide I to the Angel that talked with me, Whither doe these beare the Ephah?
Ine ndinafunsa mngelo amene amayankhula nane kuti, “Dengulo akupita nalo kuti?”
11 And hee saide vnto mee, To builde it an house in the lande of Shinar, and it shall be established and set there vpon her owne place.
Iye anayankha kuti, “Ku dziko la Babuloni kuti akalimangire nyumba. Nyumbayo ikadzatha, adzayikamo dengulo.”
