< Zacharias 5 >

1 And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked and behold a flying sickle.
A LAWA hou ae la ko'u mau maka iluna, ike aku la au, aia hoi, he owili pepa e lele ana.
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.
I mai la kela ia'u, Heaha kau mea ike? I aku la au, Ke ike aku nei au i ka owili pepa lele ana; he iwakalua hailima ka loa, a he umi hailima ka laula.
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.
Olelo mai la kela ia'u, Eia ka hoahewa ana e hele aku maluna o ka ili a pau o ka honua. No ka mea, o kela mea keia mea aihue, e hookiia auanei oia ma keia aoao, e like me ka keia; a o kela mea keia mea e hoohiki wahahee ana, e hookiia'e oia ma kela aoao, e like me ka kela.
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.
Ua lawe mai nei au in, wahi a Iehova o na kaua, a e komo aku ia iloko o ka hale o ka aihue, a o ka hale o ka mea e hoohiki wahahee ana ma ko'u inoa; e noho ia iloko o kona hale, a e hoopau oia ia mea me ka laau a me ka pohaku ona.
5 And the angel that talked with me went forth, and said to me, Lift up your eyes, and see this that goes forth.
Alaila, hele aku la ka anela i kamailio pu me au, a i mai la ia'u, E nana ae oe iluna, a e ike i kela mea e hele aku ana.
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.
I aku la au, Heaha ia mea? I mai la kela, He epa ia mea e hele aku ana. I mai la hoi oia, Eia ko lakou helehelena ma ka honua a pau.
7 And behold a talent of lead lifted up: and behold a woman sat in the midst of the measure.
Aia hoi, ua kaikaiia'e he popo kepau; a o ka mea e noho ana iwaenakonu o ka epa, he wahine ia.
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.
I mai la kela, O keia ka aia. A hoolei aku la oia ia mea mawaena konu o ka epa; a hoolei iho la ia i ka pohaku kepau maluna iho o kona waha.
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.
Alaila, nana ae la au iluna, ike aku la, aia hoi, puka mai la na wahine elua iwaho, a iloko o ko laua mau eheu ka makani; no ka mea, he mau eheu ia laua e like me na eheu o ka setoreka: a kaikai ae la lakou i ka epa iluna iwaena o ka honua a me ka lani.
10 And I said to the angel that spoke with me, Whither do these carry away the measure?
Ninau aku la au i ka anela i kamailio me au, Mahea la laua nei e lawe aku ai i ka epa?
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.
I mai la kela ia'u, No ka hana i hale nona ma ka aina i Sinara; ilaila ia e hoonohoia'i, a e kau ia maluna o kona kumu.
