Zekaraya 5

1 Ọzọkwa, eleliri m anya elu, ma hụ akwụkwọ a fụkọrọ afụkọ nke na-efegharị efegharị.

Then again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and look, a flying scroll.

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.”

He said to me, "What do you see?" I answered, "I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty-nine feet six inches, and its breadth fourteen feet nine inches."

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 he said to me, "This is the curse that goes out over the surface of the whole land; for everyone who steals shall be cut off according to it on the one side; and everyone who swears falsely shall be cut off according to it on the other side.

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 cause it to go out," says the LORD of hosts, "and it will enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him who swears falsely by my name; and it will remain in the midst of his house, and will destroy it with its timber and its stones."

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 who talked with me came forward, and said to me, "Lift up now your eyes, and see what is this that is appearing."

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 the ephah basket that is appearing." And he said moreover, "This is their iniquity throughout the land."

7 Ngwangwa, e kpughepụrụ okwuchi nkata ahụ, ma lee, ahụrụ m otu nwanyị nọdụrụ ọdụ nʼime ya.

And look, a lead cover was raised up, and there was a woman sitting in the basket.

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 threw her down into the midst of the ephah basket; and he placed the lead cover over its mouth.

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 my eyes, and saw, and look, there were two women, and the wind was in their wings. Now they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ephah basket between earth and the sky.

10 Ajụrụ m mmụọ ozi ahụ na-agwa m okwu, “Ebee ka ha bu nkata ahụ na-aga?”

Then said I to the angel who talked with me, "Where are these carrying the ephah basket?"

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.”

He said to me, "To build her a house in the land of Shinar. When it is prepared, she will be set there in her own place."
