Zechariah 5
1 I looked up again, and I saw a scroll that was flying [through the air].
Nampiandraeko maso indraike vaho nahatrea te ingo ty boke-peleke mitiliñe
2 The angel asked me, “What do you see?” I replied, “I see a flying scroll that is [huge], (10 yards/9 meters) long and (5 yards/4.5 meters) wide.”
Le hoe re tamako: Ino o oni’oo? le hoe ty natoiko: Mahatrea boke-peleke mitiliñe; roapolo kiho ty andava’e, naho folo kiho ty ampohe’e.
3 Then he said to me, “On this scroll is written the [words that Yahweh is speaking to] curse the entire country. On [one side of] the scroll it is written that every thief will be banished. On [the other side] it is written that everyone who tells a lie when he is solemnly promising to tell the truth will also be banished from the country.
Aa le hoe re tamako: Izay ty fàtse mandrambañe ty tarehe’ ty tane toy; le songa ho soiheñe añe ze mampikametse ty amy sinokitse amy lafe’e raikey, vaho fonga ho faoheñe añe ze mifantafanta, ie i sinokitse amy lafe’e ila’ey.
4 The Commander of the armies of angels says, ‘I will send [copies of] this scroll to the places where thieves live and to the houses of those who use my name when they solemnly promise to tell the truth. [The copies of] this scroll will stay in their houses, until those houses and all their wood and stones are destroyed.’”
Ampionjoneko mb’eo, hoe t’Iehovà, hiziliha’e ty kiboho’ i mpikizoy naho ty kivoho’ i mpifanta vìlañe ami’ty añarakoy; ie hialeñe amy akibay le habotse’e rekets’ o hatae’eo naho o vato’eo.
5 Then the angel who had been talking to me came closer to me and said, “Look up and see what is appearing!”
Aa le niavotse mb’eo i anjely nifanaontsy amakoy, nanao amako ty hoe: Ampiandrao henaneo o fihaino’oo, le mahaisaha, he ino o miheo mb’eoo.
6 I asked him, “What is it?” He replied, “It is a big basket [for measuring grain]. But it represents the sins that everyone in this nation has committed.”
Le hoe iraho: Ino zao? Le hoe re: Ie i fañaranañe mionjom-beoy; le tinovo’e ty hoe: Ie ty vinta’ iareo an-tane toy iaby—
7 Then [the angel] lifted the basket’s cover, [which was made] of lead. There was a woman sitting inside the basket!
le ingo te nampionjoneñe ty lombo’e fìrake—vaho amy fañaranañey ao ty rakemba miambesatse.
8 The angel said, “She represents the wicked things [that people do].” Then the angel pushed her back into the basket and closed the very heavy lid [again].
Le hoe re: Zao o hatsivokarañeo. Le naronje’e am-po’ i fañaranañey ao re, vaho nafetsa’e am-bava’e eo i lombo’e firakey.
9 Then I looked up and saw two women in front of me. They [were flying toward us], with their wings spread out in the wind. Their wings were [large], like [SIM] storks’ wings. They lifted the big basket up into the sky.
Nampiandraeko maso amy zao naho nahatrea te ingo nimb’eo ty rakemba roe, i tiokey amo ela’eo, ie aman’ elan-tsama, vaho nongaha’ iareo añivo’ ty tane toy naho i likerañey i fañaranañey.
10 I asked the angel who had been talking to me, “Where are they taking that basket?”
Aa le hoe ty asako amy anjely nisaontsy amakoy: Hendese’ iereo aia i fañaranañey?
11 He replied, “[They are taking it] to Babylonia to build a temple for it. When the temple is finished, they will set the basket there on a pedestal [for people to worship it].”
Le hoe re tamako: Hamboara’ iereo akiba an-tane Sinare añe; ie hinalankañe izay le hapok’ an-toe’e eo.
