Zechariah 5
1 Then again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and look, a flying scroll.
Mehwɛɛ bio, na mehunuu nwoma mmobɔeɛ a ɛretu wɔ ewiem wɔ mʼanim!
2 He said to me, "What do you see?" I answered, "I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty-nine feet six inches, and its breadth fourteen feet nine inches."
Ɔbisaa me sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na wohunu yi?” Mebuaa sɛ, “Mehunu nwoma mmobɔeɛ a ɛnenam ewiem a ne tenten yɛ anammɔn aduasa, na ne tɛtrɛtɛ nso yɛ anammɔn dunum.”
3 Then he said to me, "This is the curse that goes out over the surface of the whole land; for everyone who steals shall be cut off according to it on the one side; and everyone who swears falsely shall be cut off according to it on the other side.
Na ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Yei ne nnome a ɛreba asase yi so nyinaa; sɛdeɛ ɛfa baako kyerɛ no, wɔbɛpam ɔkorɔmfoɔ biara, na ɛfa baako nso kyerɛ sɛ, obiara a ɔka ntanhunu no, wɔbɛpam no.
4 I will cause it to go out," says Jehovah of hosts, "and it will enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him who swears falsely by my name; and it will remain in the midst of his house, and will destroy it with its timber and its stones."
Asafo Awurade pae mu ka sɛ, ‘Meresoma nnome yi na ɛbɛhyɛn ɔkorɔmfoɔ ne obiara a ɔde me din ka ntanhunu no fie. Ɛbɛka efie hɔ na asɛe ne nnua ne aboɔ.’”
5 Then the angel who talked with me came forward, and said to me, "Lift up now your eyes, and see what is this that is appearing."
Afei, ɔbɔfoɔ a na ɔne me rekasa no baa nʼanim bɛka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Ma wʼani so na hwɛ yei, deɛ ɛreba yi.”
6 And I said, "What is it?" And he said, "This is the ephah basket that is appearing." And he said moreover, "This is their iniquity throughout the land."
Mebisaa sɛ “Ɛyɛ ɛdeɛn?” Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ kɛntɛn a wɔde susu nneɛma.” Ɔtoaa so sɛ, “nnipa a wɔwɔ ewiase yi mu bɔne ahyɛ no ma.”
7 And look, a lead cover was raised up, and there was a woman sitting in the basket.
Afei wɔyii kɛntɛn no so sumpii mmuasoɔ no, na emu na na ɔbaa bi hyɛ!
8 And he said, "This is Wickedness;" and he threw her down into the midst of the ephah basket; and he placed the lead cover over its mouth.
Ɔkaa sɛ, “Yei yɛ atirimuɔdensɛm,” afei ɔkaa ɔbaa no hyɛɛ kɛntɛn no mu na ɔde sumpii mmuasoɔ no kataa no so.
9 Then lifted I up my eyes, and saw, and look, there were two women, and the wind was in their wings. Now they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ephah basket between earth and the sky.
Afei, memaa me tiri so mehunuu mmaa mmienu a wɔwɔ ntaban te sɛ asukɔnkɔn de danedane wɔn ho wɔ ewiem. Wɔmaa kɛntɛn no so kɔɔ ewiem, ɔsoro ne asase ntam.
10 Then said I to the angel who talked with me, "Where are these carrying the ephah basket?"
Mebisaa ɔbɔfoɔ a na ɔne me rekasa no sɛ, “Ɛhe na wɔde kɛntɛn no rekɔ?”
11 He said to me, "To build her a house in the land of Shinar. When it is prepared, she will be set there in her own place."
Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Wɔde rekɔ Babilonia asase so akɔsi fie ama no. Na sɛ, wɔwie a, wɔde kɛntɛn no bɛkɔ akɔsi nʼafa.”
