Hakaraia 5
1 Na ka maranga ake ano oku kanohi, a ka kite, na ko tetahi pukapuka e rere a manu ana.
Then again lifting up my eyes I saw a roll in flight through the air.
2 Na ka mea ia ki ahau, Ko te aha tau e kite na? Ano ra ko ahau, He pukapuka e rere ana taku e kite nei; ko tona roa e rua tekau whatianga, ko tona whanui kotahi tekau whatianga.
And he said to me, What do you see? And I said, A roll going through the air; it is twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide.
3 Katahi ia ka mea mai ki ahau, Ko te kanga tenei ka puta atu nei ki te mata o te whenua katoa: ko nga tangata katoa hoki e tahae ana ka hatepea atu i tetahi taha, ka rite ki ta tenei; a ko nga tangata katoa e oati teka ana, ka hatepea atu i tera t aha, ka rite ki ta tenei.
Then he said to me, This is the curse which goes out over the face of all the land: for long enough has every thief gone without punishment, and long enough has every taker of false oaths gone without punishment.
4 Maku ano e mea kia puta atu, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, a ka uru ki te whare o te tahae, ki te whare hoki o te tangata i oatitia tekatia ai toku ingoa; a ka noho ki roto ki tona whare, a pau noa ona rakau me ona kohatu.
And I will send it out, says the Lord of armies, and it will go into the house of the thief and into the house of him who takes a false oath by my name: and it will be in his house, causing its complete destruction, with its woodwork and its stones.
5 Katahi te anahera i korero ra ki ahau ka puta, a ka mea ki ahau, Tena ra, e ara ou kanohi, tirohia ko te aha tenei ka puta nei.
And the angel who was talking to me went out and said to me, Let your eyes be lifted up now, and see the ephah which is going out.
6 Ano ra ko ahau, He aha koia? A ka ki mai ia, Ko te epa tenei e puta nei. I ki mai ano ia, Ko to ratou ahua tenei i te whenua katoa:
And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah which is going out. And he said further, This is their evil-doing in all the land.
7 Na ko tetahi taranata mata kua oti te hapai ake: a he wahine tenei e noho nei i roto i te epa.
And I saw a round cover of lead lifted up; and a woman was seated in the middle of the ephah.
8 Na ka ki ia, Ko te Kino tenei; na maka iho ana ia e ia ki roto ki te epa: a maka ana e ia te poro mata ki runga ki te ngutu o taua epa.
And he said, This is Sin; and pushing her down into the ephah, he put the weight of lead on the mouth of it.
9 Katahi ka maranga ake oku kanohi, ka kite, na ko nga wahine tokorua e puta mai ana, i roto hoki te hau i o raua parirau; ko o raua parirau hoki koia ano kei o te taka; a hapainga ake ana e raua te epa ki te takiwa o te whenua, o te rangi.
And lifting up my eyes I saw two women coming out, and the wind was in their wings; and they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they took the ephah, lifting it up between earth and heaven.
10 Katahi ahau ka mea atu ki te anahera i korero ra ki ahau, E maua ana e enei te epa ki hea?
And I said to the angel who was talking to me, Where are they taking the ephah?
11 A ka ki mai tera ki ahau, Hei hanga whare mona ki te whenua o Hinara: a ka pumau ki reira, ka whakaturia ki tona turanga.
And he said to me, To make a house for her in the land of Shinar: and they will make a place ready, and put her there in the place which is hers.
