Zechariah 5
1 And once more lifted I mine eyes, and looked, —and lo! a Flying Volume.
Tango natalaki lisusu, namonaki buku moko: ezali kopumbwa.
2 And he said unto me, What canst thou see? So I said, I, can see a flying volume, the length thereof, twenty by the cubit, and, the breadth thereof, ten by the cubit.
Anjelu oyo azalaki kosolola na ngai atunaki ngai: — Ozali komona nini? Nazongisaki: — Nazali komona buku moko: ezali kopumbwa; molayi na yango ezali na bametele pene zomi, mpe mokuse na yango, bametele pene mitano.
3 Then said he unto me, This, is the curse, which is going forth over the face of all the earth, —Because, every one who stealeth, on the one side, hath in one way been let off, and, every one who sweareth, on the other side, hath in another way been let off,
Alobaki na ngai: — Ezali nde bilakeli mabe oyo ezali kopanzana na mokili mobimba; pamba te, kolanda ndenge ekomama na ngambo moko, bakobengana miyibi nyonso; mpe kolanda ndenge ekomama na ngambo mosusu, bakobengana bato nyonso oyo balapaka ndayi ya lokuta.
4 [therefore] have I brought it forth, Declareth Yahweh of hosts, And it shall enter—into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth by my name, falsely, —and it shall roost in the midst of his house, and shall consume it, both the timbers thereof, and the stones thereof.
Nakoyeisa elakeli mabe oyo mpo ete ekota kati na ndako ya moyibi mpe kati na ndako ya moto oyo alapaka ndayi ya lokuta na Kombo na Ngai. Ekotikala solo kati na ndako na ye mpe ekobebisa yango nyonso, ezala mabaya to mabanga na yango, elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
5 Then came forward, the messenger who was talking with me, —and said unto me—Lift up, I pray thee, thine eyes, and see what this is which is coming forth.
Anjelu oyo azalaki kosolola na ngai apusanaki pene na ngai mpe alobaki: — Tombola miso na yo mpe tala makambo oyo ezali koleka kuna.
6 And I said, What is it? Then said he, This, is an ephah that is coming forth. And he said, This, is their iniquity, throughout all the land.
Natunaki: — Makambo nini yango? Azongisaki: — Ezali nde sani, emekelo motuya ya biloko. Abakisaki: — Sani yango etondisamaki na masumu ya bato ya mokili.
7 And lo! a leaden disc uplifted, —and here a certain woman, sitting inside the ephah.
Kaka na tango yango, mofinuku na yango ya ebende etombwamaki, mpe namonaki mwasi moko avanda na kati.
8 Then said he, This, is Lawlessness. So he thrust her back inside the ephah, —and then thrust the leaden weight into the mouth thereof.
Alobaki: — Mwasi wana azali elembo ya makambo mabe. Bongo azongisaki ye kati na sani, emekelo motuya ya biloko, mpe azipaki mofinuku na yango.
9 Then lifted I up mine eyes and looked, and lo! Two Women coming forward, with the wind in their wings, and, they, had wings, like the wings of the stork, —and bare up the ephah, between the earth and the heavens.
Natombolaki miso mpe namonaki liboso na ngai basi mibale bazali kopumbwa mpo na koya epai na biso. Mapapu na bango ezalaki minene lokola mapapu ya nkongi. Batombolaki sani yango kino na kati-kati ya likolo mpe se.
10 Then said I unto the messenger who was speaking with me, —Whither are they carrying the ephah?
Natunaki Anjelu oyo azalaki kosolola na ngai: — Bazali komema sani yango wapi?
11 And he said unto me, To build for it a house in the land of Shinar, —so shall it be ready, and they shall settle it there, upon its own base?
Azongisaki: — Bazali komema yango na mokili ya Babiloni mpo ete batongela yango ndako, na Shineari. Soki ndako yango esili kotongama, bakotia sani yango kuna.
