Hakaraia 5

1 Na ka maranga ake ano oku kanohi, a ka kite, na ko tetahi pukapuka e rere a manu ana.

Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll.

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 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 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 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 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.

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 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.

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 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 that goeth forth. He said moreover, This [is] their resemblance through all the earth.

7 Na ko tetahi taranata mata kua oti te hapai ake: a he wahine tenei e noho nei i roto i te epa.

And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this [is] a woman that sitteth in the midst 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] wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.

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.

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 Katahi ahau ka mea atu ki te anahera i korero ra ki ahau, E maua ana e enei te epa ki hea?

Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear 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 unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.
