Zechariah 5
1 And once more lifted I mine eyes, and looked, —and lo! a Flying Volume.
Dia natopiko indray ny masoko, ka hitako fa, indro, nisy horonan-taratasy manidina.
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.
Ary hoy izy tamiko: Inona moa no hitanao? Dia hoy izaho: Mahita horonan-taratasy manidina aho; roa-polo hakiho ny lavany, ary folo hakiho ny sakany.
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,
Dia hoy izy tamiko: Izany no ozona mivoaka ho eny amin’ ny tany rehetra; fa izay rehetra mangalatra dia hosorohina araka izany, ary izay rehetra mianiana dia hosorohina araka izany koa.
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.
Ho entiko mivoaka izany, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, ka hiditra ao an-tranon’ ny mpangalatra sy ao an-tranon’ izay mianian-tsy tò amin’ ny anarako ary hitoetra ao amin’ ny tranony ka handevona azy mbamin’ ny hazony sy ny vatony.
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.
Dia nivoaka ilay anjely niresaka tamiko ka nanao tamiko hoe: Atopazy ny masonao, ka jereo io mivoaka io.
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.
Dia hoy izaho: Inona moa io? Ary hoy izy: Io ilay vata famarana’ mivoaka. Hoy koa izy: Izao no tarehiny any amin’ ny tany rehetra
7 And lo! a leaden disc uplifted, —and here a certain woman, sitting inside the ephah.
(ary, indro, nisy vongam-piraka boribory naingaina); ary io no vehivavy iray mipetraka ao anatin’ ny vata famarana.
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.
Ary hoy izy: Faharatsiana io. Ka dia natontany tao anatin’ ny vata famarana io; ary natontany teo am-bavan’ io ny vato firaka.
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.
Dia natopiko ny masoko, ka hitako fa, indreo, nisy vehivavy roa nivoaka, ary nahazo rivotra ny elany, fa nanana elatra toy ny elatry ny vano izy; ary naingainy ho eo anelanelan’ ny tany sy ny lanitra ny vata famarana.
10 Then said I unto the messenger who was speaking with me, —Whither are they carrying the ephah?
Dia hoy izaho tamin’ ilay anjely niresaka tamiko: Ho aiza no itondran’ ireto ny vata famarana.
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?
Ary hoy izy tamiko: Hanaovana trano ho azy any amin’ ny tany Sinara, ary rehefa vita izany, dia hapetraka ao amin’ ny fipetrahany izy.
