Zakaria 5

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

And I again lifted up my eyes, and looked, and behold there was a flying roll[-book].

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, its length is twenty cubits, and its breadth 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 all the earth; for every one that stealeth as it is on this side shall be in an equal degree entirely destroyed, as also every one that sweareth [falsely] as it is on that side shall be likewise entirely destroyed.

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 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 its timber and its stones.

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

Then went forth the angel that spoke with me, and said unto me, Do but lift up thy 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 appearance 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 heavy [cover] of lead: and there was a certain woman sitting 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 the wickedness. And he cast her into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weighty lead cover 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 did I lift up my eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, having the wind in their wings, and 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 spoke with me, Whither are these bearing away 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 for it a house in the land of Shin'ar: and when this is erected, then will the other be set there upon its own base.
