Zakari 5
1 Answit, mwen te leve zye m ankò. Mwen te gade e mwen te wè, yon liv woulo ki t ap vole anlè.
I looked up again, and I saw a scroll that was flying [through the air].
2 Konsa, li te di mwen: “Kisa ou wè la a?” Mwen te reponn: “Mwen wè yon liv woulo k ap vole anlè; longè li se ven koude, e lajè li se dis koude.”
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.”
3 Li te di mwen: “Sa se malediksyon k ap vin parèt sou fas a tout tè a. Anverite, tout moun ki vòlè va vin koupe retire nan yon bò selon li; epi tout moun ki fè fo sèman va vin koupe retire nan lòt bò a selon li.
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.
4 Mwen va fè li vin parèt”, deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Epi li va antre lakay a vòlè a ak lakay a sila ki fè fo sèman nan non Mwen an. Konsa, li va rete nèt nan mitan kay li a, e li va detwi l nèt ansanm ak bwa travès ak tout wòch yo.”
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.’”
5 Epi zanj ki t ap pale avè m nan te sòti deyò. Li te di mwen: “Koulye a leve zye ou pou wè sa k ap vin parèt la.”
Then the angel who had been talking to me came closer to me and said, “Look up and see what is appearing!”
6 Mwen te di: “Kisa li ye?” Li te di: “Sa se panyen efa a k ap vin parèt la.” Li te di ankò: “Sa se inikite ki nan tout peyi a.
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.”
7 Epi vwala, yon kouvèti an plon ki peze yon talan (40 kilo) te vin leve. Epi te gen yon fanm ki chita nan mitan panyen an”.
Then [the angel] lifted the basket’s cover, [which was made] of lead. There was a woman sitting inside the basket!
8 Zanj la te di: “Sa se Mechanste!” Epi li te jete fanm nan rive nan mitan panyen efa a, e li te voye mas plon an sou bouch panyen an.
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].
9 Mwen te leve zye m, mwen te gade, e mwen te wè te gen de fanm ak van nan zèl yo. Zèl yo te tankou zèl a sigòy. Konsa, yo te leve panyen efa a antre tè a ak syèl la.
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.
10 Mwen te di a zanj ki t ap pale avè m nan: “Se ki kote yo prale ak panyen an la a?”
I asked the angel who had been talking to me, “Where are they taking that basket?”
11 Li te di mwen: “Pou bati yon tanp pou fanm nan, nan peyi Schinear. Konsa, lè l fin prepare, fi la va pozisyone la sou pwòp baz pa l.”
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].”
