Zakaria 5

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

Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, 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 earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off [as] on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off [as] on that side according to 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 will bring it 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 remain 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 talked 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] an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This [is] their resemblance through all the earth.

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 talent of lead: and this [is] a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.

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 it into the midst of the ephah; 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 looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind [was] in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah 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 talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah?

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 it an house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.
