Zakariya 5
1 Na sāke dubawa sai ga naɗaɗɗen littafi mai firiya a gabana!
I looked up again, and I saw a scroll that was flying [through the air].
2 Sai ya tambaye ni ya ce, “Me ka gani?” Sai na amsa na ce, “Na ga naɗaɗɗen littafi mai firiya, tsawonsa ƙafa talatin da fāɗinsa kuma ƙafa goma sha biyar.”
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 Sai ya ce mini, “Wannan ce la’anar da za tă ratsa dukan ƙasar; gama bisa ga abin da ya ce a gefe ɗaya, za a kawar da kowane ɓarawo, kuma bisa ga abin da ya ce a ɗaya gefen za a kawar da duk mai rantsuwar ƙarya.
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 Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ce, ‘Zan aika shi, zai shiga gidan ɓarawo, da gidan mai rantsuwar ƙarya da sunana. Zai kasance a gidansa yă hallaka gidan da katakon da duwatsun.’”
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 Sai mala’ikan da yake mini magana ya zo gaba ya ce mini, “Duba ka gani ko mene ne wannan da yake fitowa.”
Then the angel who had been talking to me came closer to me and said, “Look up and see what is appearing!”
6 Na tambaya na ce, “Mene ne?” Ya amsa ya ce, “Kwando ne na awo.” Ya ƙara da cewa, “Wannan shi ne laifin mutanen a duk fāɗin ƙasar.”
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 Sa’an nan aka ɗaga murfin dalman, a ciki kuwa ga mace zaune!
Then [the angel] lifted the basket’s cover, [which was made] of lead. There was a woman sitting inside the basket!
8 Ya ce, “Wannan mugunta ce,” ya kuma tura ta cikin kwandon ya rufe da murfin dalman, ya kuma danna da dutse.
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 Na ɗaga idona sama, sai ga mata biyu a gabana, iska tana hura fikafikansu! Suna da fikafikai kamar na shamuwa, suka kuma ɗaga kwandon sama.
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 Na tambayi mala’ikan da yake magana da ni na ce, “Ina za ku kai kwandon?”
I asked the angel who had been talking to me, “Where are they taking that basket?”
11 Ya amsa ya ce, “Zuwa ƙasar Babiloniya don a gina masa haikali. Sa’ad da aka gama ginin, za a ajiye shi a ciki.”
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].”
