Zakaria 5

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

And I turn back, and lift up mine eyes, and look, and lo, 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 saith unto me, 'What art thou seeing?' And I say, 'I am seeing a flying roll, its length twenty by the cubit, and its breadth ten by the cubit.'

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.

And he saith unto me, 'This [is] the execration that is going forth over the face of all the land, for every one who is stealing, on the one side, according to it, hath been declared innocent, and every one who hath sworn, on the other side, according to it, hath been declared innocent.

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 have brought it out — an affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts — and it hath come in unto the house of the thief, and unto the house of him who hath sworn in My name to a falsehood, and it hath remained in the midst of his house, and hath consumed it, both its wood and its stones.'

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

And the messenger who is speaking with me goeth forth, and saith unto me, 'Lift up, I pray thee, thine eyes, and see what [is] this that is coming 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 say, 'What [is] it?' And he saith, 'This — the ephah that is coming forth.' And he saith, 'This [is] their aspect in all the land.

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

And lo, a cake of lead lifted up; and this [is] a 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 saith, 'This [is] the wicked woman.' And he casteth her unto the midst of the ephah, and casteth the weight of lead on its mouth.

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.

And I lift up mine eyes, and see, and lo, two women are coming forth, and wind in their wings; and they have wings like wings of the stork, and they lift up the ephah between the earth and the heavens.

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

And I say unto the messenger who is speaking with me, 'Whither [are] they causing the ephah to go?'

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 saith unto me, 'To build to it a house in the land of Shinar.' And it hath been prepared and hath been placed there on its base.
