Zakari 5
1 Tango natalaki lisusu, namonaki buku moko: ezali kopumbwa.
Then again I looked up and saw 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; twenty cubits long, ten cubits wide.’
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 over the whole land. Every thief will be banished according to the writing on one side and everyone who lies under oath shall be banished according to the writing 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 have sent it out, says the Lord of hosts, and it will enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of anyone who swears falsely by my name. It will remain in the midst of his house and will consume 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 messenger who talked with me came forward, and said to me, ‘Look up and see what is now coming.’
6 Natunaki: — Makambo nini yango? Azongisaki: — Ezali nde sani, emekelo motuya ya biloko. Abakisaki: — Sani yango etondisamaki na masumu ya bato ya mokili.
I said. ‘What is it?’ He said, ‘It is a measuring basket, full of the guilt of the land.’
7 Kaka na tango yango, mofinuku na yango ya ebende etombwamaki, mpe namonaki mwasi moko avanda na kati.
A round leaden cover was lifted up, and there was a woman sitting in the middle of 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.
He said, ‘This is Wickedness.’ He thrust her down into the midst of the basket and he pushed the round leaden cover back on 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 I looked up and saw two women, and the wind was in their wings. They had wings like the wings of a stork and they lifted up the basket between them.
10 Natunaki Anjelu oyo azalaki kosolola na ngai: — Bazali komema sani yango wapi?
Then I said to the messenger who talked with me, ‘Where are they taking the 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, they will rest the basket there.’
