Zechariah 5

1 Then again I lifted up mine eyes, 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 answered: '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 Then said he unto me: 'This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole land; for every one that stealeth shall be swept away on the one side like it; and every one that sweareth shall be swept away on the other side like it.

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 cause it to go forth, saith the LORD 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 abide 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 Then the angel that spoke 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 measure that goeth forth.' He said moreover: 'This is their eye 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 piece of lead — and this is a woman sitting in the midst of the measure.'

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 down into the midst of the measure, 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 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there came forth two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork; and they lifted up the measure between the earth and the heaven.

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 Then said I to the angel that spoke with me: 'Whither do these bear the measure?'

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 her a house in the land of Shinar; and when it is prepared, she shall be set there in her own place.

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.”
