Zekaria 5
1 Megawu mo dzi eye mekpɔ agbalẽ aɖe wònɔ dzodzom le yame.
And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked and behold a flying sickle.
2 Mawudɔla la biam be, “Nu ka nèkpɔ?” Meɖo eŋu be, “Mekpɔ agbalẽ aɖe si le dzodzom! Agbalẽ la ƒe didime nye afɔ blaetɔ̃ eye eƒe kekeme nye afɔ wuiatɔ̃.”
And he said to me, What seest thou? And I said, I see a flying sickle, of the length of twenty cubits, and of the breadth of ten cubits.
3 Eye wògblɔ nam be, “Agbalẽ siae nye fiƒode si le tsatsam le anyigba la katã dzi. Agbalẽ la ƒe akpa ɖeka le gbɔgblɔm be woaɖe fiafitɔ ɖe sia ɖe ɖa, eye akpa evelia le gbɔgblɔm be, ame sia ame si kaa atam dzodzro la, woaɖee ɖa.
And he said to me, This is the curse that goes forth over the face of the whole earth: for every thief shall be punished with death on this side, and every false swearer shall be punished on that side.
4 Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la gblɔ be, ‘Madɔ fiƒode sia ɖa, eye age ɖe fiafitɔ la ƒe aƒe me kple ame si yɔa nye ŋkɔ tsɔ kaa atam dzodzro la ƒe aƒe me. Anɔ eƒe aƒe me, agbã aƒe nɛ, eye wòakaka atiawo kple kpeawo siaa.’”
And I will bring it forth, saith the Lord Almighty, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that swears falsely by my name: and it shall rest in the midst of his house, and shall consume it, and the timber of it, and the stones of it.
5 Mawudɔla si nɔ nu ƒom kplim la zɔ va gbɔnye, eye wògblɔ nam be, “Fɔ mo dzi nàkpɔ nu si le yame gbɔna.”
And the angel that talked with me went forth, and said to me, Lift up thine eyes, and see this that goes forth.
6 Mebiae be, “Nu ka wònye?” Eɖo eŋu be, “Nudzidzekusie” Egagblɔ kpe ɖe eŋu be, “Esiae nye amewo ƒe nu vɔ̃ le anyigba katã la dzi.”
And I said, What is it? And he said, This is the measure that goes forth. And he said, This is their iniquity in all the earth.
7 Kasia nutunu gã si le kusi la nu la fɔ dzi, eye mekpɔ nyɔnu aɖe si nɔ anyi ɖe kusi la me!
And behold a talent of lead lifted up: and behold a woman sat in the midst of the measure.
8 Mawudɔla la gblɔ be, “Esiae nye vɔ̃ɖinyenye,” eye wotutui gade kusi la me hetsɔ nutunu gã la tu enu.
And he said, This is iniquity. And he cast it into the midst of the measure, and cast the weight of lead on the mouth of it.
9 Azɔ mekpɔ nyɔnu eve siwo dzo gbɔna ɖe gbɔnye, woƒe aʋalawo le abe damixetɔwo ene, eye wova kɔ kusi gã la hedzo kplii yi ɖe dziƒo ʋĩi.
And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, two women coming forth, and the wind was in their wings; and they had stork's wings: and they lifted up the measure between the earth and the sky.
10 Mebia mawudɔla si nɔ nu ƒom kplim la be, “Afi ka wokɔ kusi la yinae?”
And I said to the angel that spoke with me, Whither do these carry away the measure?
11 Eɖo eŋu nam be, “Wokɔe yina ɖe Babilonia, afi si woatu xɔ ɖo nɛ. Ne wotu xɔ la nɛ vɔ la, woakɔ kusi la ada ɖe enɔƒe le afi ma.”
And he said to me, To build it a house in the land of Babylon, and to prepare [a place for it]; and they shall set it there on its own base.
