Zekkaliya 5
1 Awo ne nnyimusa amaaso gange era laba ne ndaba, omuzingo gw’ekitabo ogutambulira mu bbanga.
And I turned and lifted up my eyes: and I saw, and behold a volume flying.
2 N’ambuuza nti, “Kiki ky’olaba?” Ne nziramu nti, “Ndaba omuzingo gw’ekitabo ogutambulira mu bbanga, obuwanvu bwagwo buli mita mwenda n’obugazi bwagwo buli mita nnya ne desimoolo ttaano.”
And he said to me: What seest thou? And I said: I see a volume flying: the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.
3 Awo n’alyoka aŋŋamba nti, “Ekyo ky’ekikolimo ekizze okubuna ensi yonna, kubanga buli muntu yenna abba aliggyibwawo era buli muntu yenna alayiririra obwereere aliggyibwawo, bamutwale ku luuyi olulala.
And he said to me: This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the earth: for every thief shall be judged as is there written: and every one that sweareth in like manner shall be judged by it.
4 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye, ‘Ndikifulumya, era ndikiyingiza mu nnyumba y’omubbi ne mu nnyumba y’oyo alayiririra obwereere erinnya lyange. Era kirisigala mu nnyumba ye wakati, era kirigizikiriza yonna, emiti gyayo n’amayinja gaayo.’”
I will bring it forth, saith the Lord of hosts: and it shall come to the house of the thief, and to 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 Malayika eyali ayogera nange n’akomawo n’aŋŋamba nti, “Yimusa amaaso go olabe, waliwo ekintu ekirala ekizze.”
And the angel went forth that spoke in me, and he said to me: Lift up thy eyes, and see what this is, that goeth forth.
6 Ne mubuuza nti, “Kiki ekyo?” N’anziramu nti, “Ekyo kisero, kye kifuluma.” Era n’ayongerako nti, “Ekyo kye kifaananyi ekiraga ekibi ekibunye ensi yonna.”
And I said: What is it? And he said: This is a vessel going forth. And he said: This is their eye in all the earth.
7 Awo ekibikka kyakyo, ekyuma eky’essasi ne kibikkulwa era ne ndaba omukazi ng’akituddemu.
And behold a talent of lead was carried, and behold a woman sitting in the midst of the vessel.
8 Malayika n’aŋŋamba nti, “Buno bwe bwonoonyi.” N’amusindika n’amuzza munda mu kisero, n’aggalawo omumwa gwakyo n’ekisaanikira eky’ekyuma eky’essasi.
And he said: This is wickedness. And he cast her into the midst of the vessel, and cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.
9 Ne ndyoka nnyimusa amaaso gange, era laba, abakazi babiri nga bajja gye ndi, baali batambulira mu bbanga nga bakozesa empewo mu biwaawaatiro byabwe. Era ebiwaawaatiro byabwe nga biri ng’ebya kalooli, ne basitula ekisero mu bbanga wakati w’ensi n’eggulu.
And I lifted up my eyes and looked: and behold there came out two women, and wind was in their wings, and they had wings like the wings of a kite: and they lifted up the vessel between the earth and the heaven.
10 Ne mbuuza malayika eyali ayogera nange nti, “Abo ekisero bakitwala wa?”
And I said to the angel that spoke in me: Whither do these carry the vessel?
11 N’anziramu nti, “Mu nsi ya Sinaali ey’e Babulooni, okuzimba ennyumba y’omukazi ali mu kisero, era ennyumba ye bw’eriggwa, aliteekebwa eyo mu kifo kye.”
And he said to me: That a house may be built for it in the land of Sennaar, and that it may be established, and set there upon its own basis.
