Zekaraya 5
1 Ọzọkwa, eleliri m anya elu, ma hụ akwụkwọ a fụkọrọ afụkọ nke na-efegharị efegharị.
Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll.
2 Ọ sịrị m, “Gịnị ka ị na-ahụ?” Azara m, “Ahụrụ m akwụkwọ a fụkọrọ afụkọ nke na-efegharị efegharị. Ogologo ya dị mita iri, obosara ya dịkwa mita ise.”
And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.
3 Ọ gwara m, “Nke a bụ ọbụbụ ọnụ nke na-apụ na-ejezu nʼala ahụ niile. Nʼihi na dịka e si detuo ya, nʼotu akụkụ ya, a ga-esi nʼala a chụpụ ndị na-ezu ohi. Dịka e si deekwa ya nʼakụkụ nke ọzọ ya, onye ọ bụla na-aṅụ iyi ụgha ka a ga-esitekwa nʼala ahụ chụpụ.
Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it.
4 Ezipụla m ya, otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwubiri, ‘Ọ ga-abanye nʼụlọ onye ọ bụla na-ezu ohi, na nʼụlọ ndị ji aha m na-aṅụ iyi ụgha. Ọ ga-anọgide nʼụlọ ahụ mebie ya kpamkpam. Ọ ga-emebi osisi na nkume niile e ji wuo ụlọ ahụ.’”
I will bring it forth, saith Yhwh of Armies, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.
5 Mgbe ahụ, mmụọ ozi ahụ na-agwa m okwu bịakwutere m sị, “Lelie anya gị elu hụrụ ihe na-aga ịpụta ìhè.”
Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth.
6 Asịrị m, “Gịnị ka ọ bụ?” Ọ sịrị, “Ọ bụ nkata.” O kwukwara, “Nke a bụ mmehie nke ndị niile bi nʼala a.”
And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance through all the earth.
7 Ngwangwa, e kpughepụrụ okwuchi nkata ahụ, ma lee, ahụrụ m otu nwanyị nọdụrụ ọdụ nʼime ya.
And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.
8 Ọ sịrị, “Nke a bụ ajọ omume.” O nughachiri ya azụ nʼime nkata ahụ werekwa okwuchi nkata ahụ kpuchie ya.
And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.
9 Mgbe ahụ, eleliri m anya hụ ụmụ nwanyị abụọ ọzọ, ndị ikuku na-efe nku ha. Ha nwere nku dịka nku ụgbala. Ha buliri nkata ahụ elu nʼetiti eluigwe na ala.
Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven.
10 Ajụrụ m mmụọ ozi ahụ na-agwa m okwu, “Ebee ka ha bu nkata ahụ na-aga?”
Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah?
11 Ọ gwara m, “Ha bu ya na-aga Babilọn ebe ha ga-ewuru ya ụlọ. Mgbe ha wuchara ụlọ ahụ, ha ga-adọba nkata ahụ nʼelu ihe ndọkwasị.”
And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.
