Zakari 5

1 Tango natalaki lisusu, namonaki buku moko: ezali kopumbwa.

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

2 Anjelu oyo azalaki kosolola na ngai atunaki ngai: — Ozali komona nini? Nazongisaki: — Nazali komona buku moko: ezali kopumbwa; molayi na yango ezali na bametele pene zomi, mpe mokuse na yango, bametele pene mitano.

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 Alobaki na ngai: — Ezali nde bilakeli mabe oyo ezali kopanzana na mokili mobimba; pamba te, kolanda ndenge ekomama na ngambo moko, bakobengana miyibi nyonso; mpe kolanda ndenge ekomama na ngambo mosusu, bakobengana bato nyonso oyo balapaka ndayi ya lokuta.

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 Nakoyeisa elakeli mabe oyo mpo ete ekota kati na ndako ya moyibi mpe kati na ndako ya moto oyo alapaka ndayi ya lokuta na Kombo na Ngai. Ekotikala solo kati na ndako na ye mpe ekobebisa yango nyonso, ezala mabaya to mabanga na yango, elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.

I will cause it to go out," says YHWH 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 Anjelu oyo azalaki kosolola na ngai apusanaki pene na ngai mpe alobaki: — Tombola miso na yo mpe tala makambo oyo ezali koleka kuna.

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 Natunaki: — Makambo nini yango? Azongisaki: — Ezali nde sani, emekelo motuya ya biloko. Abakisaki: — Sani yango etondisamaki na masumu ya bato ya mokili.

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 Kaka na tango yango, mofinuku na yango ya ebende etombwamaki, mpe namonaki mwasi moko avanda na kati.

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

8 Alobaki: — Mwasi wana azali elembo ya makambo mabe. Bongo azongisaki ye kati na sani, emekelo motuya ya biloko, mpe azipaki mofinuku na yango.

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 Natombolaki miso mpe namonaki liboso na ngai basi mibale bazali kopumbwa mpo na koya epai na biso. Mapapu na bango ezalaki minene lokola mapapu ya nkongi. Batombolaki sani yango kino na kati-kati ya likolo mpe se.

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 Natunaki Anjelu oyo azalaki kosolola na ngai: — Bazali komema sani yango wapi?

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

11 Azongisaki: — Bazali komema yango na mokili ya Babiloni mpo ete batongela yango ndako, na Shineari. Soki ndako yango esili kotongama, bakotia sani yango kuna.

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."
