Zakari 5
1 Tango natalaki lisusu, namonaki buku moko: ezali kopumbwa.
Then I turned and lifted my eyes, and I saw, behold, 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.
The angel said to me, “What do you see?” I answered, “I see a flying scroll, twenty cubits long and 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 out over the surface of the whole land. For every thief will be cut off according to what it says on the one side, and everyone who swears a false oath will be cut off according to what it says 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 send it out—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts—so it will enter into the house of the thief and into the house of the one that swears falsely by my name. It will remain in his house and consume its timber and 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 was speaking with me went out and said to me, “Raise your eyes and see what is 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, “This is a basket containing an ephah that is coming. This is their iniquity in the whole land.”
7 Kaka na tango yango, mofinuku na yango ya ebende etombwamaki, mpe namonaki mwasi moko avanda na kati.
Then a lead covering was lifted off the basket and there was a woman under it sitting in it!
8 Alobaki: — Mwasi wana azali elembo ya makambo mabe. Bongo azongisaki ye kati na sani, emekelo motuya ya biloko, mpe azipaki mofinuku na yango.
The angel said, “This is Wickedness!” He threw her back inside the basket, and he threw the lead cover over its opening.
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.
I lifted my eyes and saw two women coming toward me, and wind was in their wings—for they had wings like a stork's wings. They lifted up the basket between earth and heaven.
10 Natunaki Anjelu oyo azalaki kosolola na ngai: — Bazali komema sani yango wapi?
So I said to the angel who was talking to 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 a temple in the land of Shinar for it, so that when the temple is ready, the basket will be set there on its prepared base.”
