< Zacharias 5 >

1 And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked and behold a flying sickle.
Answit, mwen te leve zye m ankò. Mwen te gade e mwen te wè, yon liv woulo ki t ap vole anlè.
2 And he said to me, What see you? And I said, I see a flying sickle, of the length of twenty cubits, and of the breadth of ten cubits.
Konsa, li te di mwen: “Kisa ou wè la a?” Mwen te reponn: “Mwen wè yon liv woulo k ap vole anlè; longè li se ven koude, e lajè li se dis koude.”
3 And he said to me, This is the curse that goes forth over the face of the whole earth: for every thief shall be punished with death on this side, and every false swearer shall be punished on that side.
Li te di mwen: “Sa se malediksyon k ap vin parèt sou fas a tout tè a. Anverite, tout moun ki vòlè va vin koupe retire nan yon bò selon li; epi tout moun ki fè fo sèman va vin koupe retire nan lòt bò a selon li.
4 And I will bring it forth, says the Lord Almighty, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that swears falsely by my name: and it shall rest in the midst of his house, and shall consume it, and the timber of it, and the stones of it.
Mwen va fè li vin parèt”, deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Epi li va antre lakay a vòlè a ak lakay a sila ki fè fo sèman nan non Mwen an. Konsa, li va rete nèt nan mitan kay li a, e li va detwi l nèt ansanm ak bwa travès ak tout wòch yo.”
5 And the angel that talked with me went forth, and said to me, Lift up your eyes, and see this that goes forth.
Epi zanj ki t ap pale avè m nan te sòti deyò. Li te di mwen: “Koulye a leve zye ou pou wè sa k ap vin parèt la.”
6 And I said, What is it? And he said, This is the measure that goes forth. And he said, This is their iniquity in all the earth.
Mwen te di: “Kisa li ye?” Li te di: “Sa se panyen efa a k ap vin parèt la.” Li te di ankò: “Sa se inikite ki nan tout peyi a.
7 And behold a talent of lead lifted up: and behold a woman sat in the midst of the measure.
Epi vwala, yon kouvèti an plon ki peze yon talan (40 kilo) te vin leve. Epi te gen yon fanm ki chita nan mitan panyen an”.
8 And he said, This is iniquity. And he cast it into the midst of the measure, and cast the weight of lead on the mouth of it.
Zanj la te di: “Sa se Mechanste!” Epi li te jete fanm nan rive nan mitan panyen efa a, e li te voye mas plon an sou bouch panyen an.
9 And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, two women coming forth, and the wind was in their wings; and they had stork's wings: and they lifted up the measure between the earth and the sky.
Mwen te leve zye m, mwen te gade, e mwen te wè te gen de fanm ak van nan zèl yo. Zèl yo te tankou zèl a sigòy. Konsa, yo te leve panyen efa a antre tè a ak syèl la.
10 And I said to the angel that spoke with me, Whither do these carry away the measure?
Mwen te di a zanj ki t ap pale avè m nan: “Se ki kote yo prale ak panyen an la a?”
11 And he said to me, To build it a house in the land of Babylon, and to prepare [a place for it]; and they shall set it there on its own base.
Li te di mwen: “Pou bati yon tanp pou fanm nan, nan peyi Schinear. Konsa, lè l fin prepare, fi la va pozisyone la sou pwòp baz pa l.”
