Zekkaliya 5

1 Awo ne nnyimusa amaaso gange era laba ne ndaba, omuzingo gw’ekitabo ogutambulira mu bbanga.

And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked and behold a flying sickle.

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 see you? And I said, I see a flying sickle, of the length of twenty cubits, and of the breadth of 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 goes forth over the face of the whole earth: for every thief shall be punished with death on this side, and every false swearer shall be punished on that side.

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.’”

And I will bring it forth, says the Lord Almighty, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that swears falsely by my name: and it shall rest in the midst of his house, and shall consume it, and the timber of it, and the stones of it.

5 Malayika eyali ayogera nange n’akomawo n’aŋŋamba nti, “Yimusa amaaso go olabe, waliwo ekintu ekirala ekizze.”

And the angel that talked with me went forth, and said to me, Lift up your eyes, and see this that goes 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 the measure that goes forth. And he said, This is their iniquity 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 lifted up: and behold a woman sat in the midst of the measure.

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 iniquity. And he cast it into the midst of the measure, and cast the weight of lead on the mouth of it.

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 mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, two women coming forth, and the wind was in their wings; and they had stork's wings: and they lifted up the measure between the earth and the sky.

10 Ne mbuuza malayika eyali ayogera nange nti, “Abo ekisero bakitwala wa?”

And I said to the angel that spoke with me, Whither do these carry away the measure?

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, To build it a house in the land of Babylon, and to prepare [a place for it]; and they shall set it there on its own base.
