Zechariah 5
1 And I turn back, and lift up my eyes, and look, and behold, a flying scroll.
Kisha nikageuka na kuinua macho yangu, nami nikaona, tazama, gombo lirukalo!
2 And he says to me, “What are you seeing?” And I say, “I am seeing a flying scroll, its length [is] twenty by the cubit, and its breadth [is] ten by the cubit.”
Malaika akaniuliza, “Unaona nini?” Nikajibu, “Ninaona gombo lirukalo, urefu wake dhiraa ishirini na upana wake dhiraa kumi.”
3 And he says to me, “This [is] the execration that is going forth over the face of all the land, for everyone who is stealing, on the one side, according to it, has been declared innocent, and everyone who has sworn, on the other side, according to it, has been declared innocent.”
Ndipo aliponiambia, “Hii ni laana iendayo juu ya uso wa nchi yote, kwani tangu sasa kila mwivi ataondolewa kulingana na lisemavyo upande mmoja, wakati kila aapaye kiapo cha uongo ataondolewa kulingana na lisemavyo upande mwingine, kwa kadili ya maneno yake.
4 “I have brought it out,” a declaration of YHWH of Hosts, “and it has come into the house of the thief, and into the house of him who has sworn in My Name with a falsehood, and it has remained in the midst of his house, and has consumed it, both its wood and its stones.”
“Nitalituma - asema Yahwe wa majeshi - hivyo litaingia nyumbani mwa mwivi na nyumbani mwa aapaye kwa uongo kwa jina langu. Litasalia nyumbani mwake na kuteketeza mbao na mawe yake.”
5 And the messenger who is speaking with me goes forth and says to me, “Now lift up your eyes, and [do you] see what this [is] that is coming forth?”
Ndipo malaika aliyekuwa akisema nami alipoenda nje na kuniambia, “Inua macho yako uone kinachokuja!”
6 And I say, “What [is] it?” And he says, “This—the ephah that is coming forth.” And he says, “This [is] their aspect in all the land.
Nikasema, “Ni nini hiki?” Akasema, “Hiki ni kikapu kilicho na efa ijayo. Huu ni uovu wao katika nchi yote.”
7 And behold, a disc of lead lifted up; and this [is] a woman sitting in the midst of the ephah.”
Kisha mfuniko wa risasi ukainuliwa kutoka ndani ya kikapu na kulikuwa na mwanamke chini yake amekaa ndani yake!
8 And he says, “This [is] the wicked woman.” And he casts her into the midst of the ephah, and casts the weight of lead on its mouth.
Malaika akasema, “Huu ni uovu!” na akamtupa tena kikapuni, na kurusha mfuniko wa risasi mlango pake.
9 And I lift up my eyes, and see, and behold, two women are coming forth, and wind [is] in their wings; and they have wings like wings of the stork, and they lift up the ephah between the earth and the heavens.
Nilipoinua macho nikaona wanawake wawili wakija kwangu, na upepo ulikuwa ndani ya mabawa yao - walikuwa na mabawa kama mabawa ya korongo. Wakainua kikapu kati ya mbingu na nchi.
10 And I say to the messenger who is speaking with me, “To where [are] they causing the ephah to go?”
Hivyo nikamwuliza malaika aliyesema nami, “Wanapeleka wapi kikapu?”
11 And he says to me, “To build a house for it in the land of Shinar.” And it has been prepared and has been placed there on its base.
Akaniambia, “Wanakwenda kujengea hekalu katika nchi ya Shinari kwa ajili yake, hekalu litakapokuwa tayari, kikapu kitawekwa kwenye msingi ulioandaliwa kwa ajili yake.”
