Zakaria 5

1 Dia natopiko indray ny masoko, ka hitako fa, indro, nisy horonan-taratasy manidina.

Then again I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold a flying roll.

2 Ary hoy izy tamiko: Inona moa no hitanao? Dia hoy izaho: Mahita horonan-taratasy manidina aho; roa-polo hakiho ny lavany, ary folo hakiho ny sakany.

And he said unto me: 'What seest thou?' And I answered: 'I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.'

3 Dia hoy izy tamiko: Izany no ozona mivoaka ho eny amin’ ny tany rehetra; fa izay rehetra mangalatra dia hosorohina araka izany, ary izay rehetra mianiana dia hosorohina araka izany koa.

Then said he unto me: 'This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole land; for every one that stealeth shall be swept away on the one side like it; and every one that sweareth shall be swept away on the other side like it.

4 Ho entiko mivoaka izany, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, ka hiditra ao an-tranon’ ny mpangalatra sy ao an-tranon’ izay mianian-tsy tò amin’ ny anarako ary hitoetra ao amin’ ny tranony ka handevona azy mbamin’ ny hazony sy ny vatony.

I cause it to go forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by My name; and it shall abide in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.'

5 Dia nivoaka ilay anjely niresaka tamiko ka nanao tamiko hoe: Atopazy ny masonao, ka jereo io mivoaka io.

Then the angel that spoke with me went forth, and said unto me: 'Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth.'

6 Dia hoy izaho: Inona moa io? Ary hoy izy: Io ilay vata famarana’ mivoaka. Hoy koa izy: Izao no tarehiny any amin’ ny tany rehetra

And I said: 'What is it?' And he said: 'This is the measure that goeth forth.' He said moreover: 'This is their eye in all the land —

7 (ary, indro, nisy vongam-piraka boribory naingaina); ary io no vehivavy iray mipetraka ao anatin’ ny vata famarana.

and, behold, there was lifted up a round piece of lead — and this is a woman sitting in the midst of the measure.'

8 Ary hoy izy: Faharatsiana io. Ka dia natontany tao anatin’ ny vata famarana io; ary natontany teo am-bavan’ io ny vato firaka.

And he said: 'This is Wickedness.' And he cast her down into the midst of the measure, and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.

9 Dia natopiko ny masoko, ka hitako fa, indreo, nisy vehivavy roa nivoaka, ary nahazo rivotra ny elany, fa nanana elatra toy ny elatry ny vano izy; ary naingainy ho eo anelanelan’ ny tany sy ny lanitra ny vata famarana.

Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there came forth two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork; and they lifted up the measure between the earth and the heaven.

10 Dia hoy izaho tamin’ ilay anjely niresaka tamiko: Ho aiza no itondran’ ireto ny vata famarana.

Then said I to the angel that spoke with me: 'Whither do these bear the measure?'

11 Ary hoy izy tamiko: Hanaovana trano ho azy any amin’ ny tany Sinara, ary rehefa vita izany, dia hapetraka ao amin’ ny fipetrahany izy.

And he said unto me: 'To build her a house in the land of Shinar; and when it is prepared, she shall be set there in her own place.
