Zechariah 5

1 Then again I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold, a flying roll.

Ngasengiphenduka, ngaphakamisa amehlo ami, ngabona, khangela-ke, umqulu ondizayo.

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.

Yasisithi kimi: Ubonani? Ngasengisithi: Ngibona umqulu ondizayo; ubude bawo buzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili, lobubanzi bawo izingalo ezilitshumi.

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 purged out on the one side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be purged out on the other side according to it.

Yasisithi kimi: Lesi yisiqalekiso esiphumela ebusweni bomhlaba wonke. Ngoba wonke owebayo uzaqunywa nganeno mayelana laso, laye wonke ofungayo uzaqunywa ngale mayelana laso.

4 I will 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.

Ngizasikhupha, itsho iNkosi yamabandla, ukuthi singene endlini yesela lasendlini yalowo ofunga amanga ngebizo lami; sihlale phakathi kwendlu yakhe, siyiqede kanye lezigodo zayo lamatshe ayo.

5 Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth.

Ingilosi eyayikhuluma lami yasiphuma, yathi kimi: Phakamisa amehlo akho khathesi, ubone ukuthi kuyini lokhu okuphumayo.

6 And I said, What is it? And he said, This is the ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance in all the land:

Ngasengisithi: Kuyini? Yasisithi: Lokhu kuyi-efa ephumayo. Yathi futhi: Lesi yisimo sabo elizweni lonke.

7 (and behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: ) and this is a woman sitting in the midst of the ephah.

Khangela-ke, kwaphakanyiswa isisibekelo somnuso; njalo lo wayengowesifazana owayehlezi phakathi kwe-efa.

8 And he said, This is Wickedness; and he cast her down into the midst of the ephah: and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.

Yasisithi: Lokhu kuyibubi; yasimphosa ngaphakathi kwe-efa; yasiphosa isisindo somnuso emlonyeni walo.

9 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold, there came forth 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 between the earth and the heaven.

Ngasengiphakamisa amehlo ami, ngabona, khangela-ke, kwaphuma abesifazana ababili, lomoya wawusempikweni zabo; ngoba babelezimpiko njengezimpiko zengabuzane. Basebephakamisa i-efa phakathi komhlaba lamazulu.

10 Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah?

Ngasengisithi kuyo ingilosi eyayikhuluma lami: Balithwalela ngaphi i-efa?

11 And he said unto me, To build her an house in the land of Shinar: and when it is prepared, she shall be set there in her own place.

Yasisithi kimi: Ukumakhela indlu elizweni leShinari; njalo izamiswa ibekwe lapho phezu kwesisekelo sakhe.
