Zakkaariyaas 5
1 Ani ammas ol milʼadhe; kunoo kitaabni maramaan barrisu tokko fuula koo dura ture!
I looked again and saw a flying scroll.
2 Ergamaan Waaqayyoo sunis, “Ati maal argita?” jedhee na gaafate. Anis, “Kunoo ani kitaaba maramaa dhundhuma digdama dheeratee dhundhuma kudhan balʼatu tokko nan arga” jedheen deebise.
“What do you see?” asked the angel. “I see a flying scroll,” I replied. “It's thirty feet long and fifteen feet wide.”
3 Kana irratti inni akkana naan jedhe; “Kun abaarsa lafa hundumatti dhufaa jiruu dha; akka kitaabicha irratti barreeffametti, hattuun hundinuu ni barbadoofti; akkuma barreeffamni gama kaan irraa jedhutti namni sobaan kakatu hundinuu ni barbadeeffama.
He told me, “This is the curse that is going out to all the world. Anyone who steals will be purged from society, according to one side of the scroll. Anyone who swears lies under oath will be purged from society, according to the other side of the scroll.”
4 Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha; ‘Ani abaarsa kana gad nan erga; innis mana hattuutii fi mana nama sobaan maqaa kootiin kakatuu ni seena. Abaarsi kun mana isaa keessatti hafee, mana isaa, muka isaatii fi dhagaa isaa ni barbadeessa.’”
“I have sent the curse out and it will go into the house of the thief and into the house of the one who swears lies in my name, declares the Lord Almighty. The curse will remain in that house, and will destroy it, both the timbers and the stones.”
5 Ergamaan Waaqayyoo kan natti dubbachaa ture sun dhufee, “Mee ol jedhii waan dhufaa jiru sana ilaali” naan jedhe.
Then the angel I had been talking to came over to me and said, “Look. What do you see moving away?”
6 Anis, “Inni maali?” jedheen gaafadhe. Innis, “Kun quunnaa ittiin waa safaranii dha” jedhee deebise. Ammas itti dabalee, “Kun hammina saba guutummaa lafaa irra jiraatuu ti” jedhe.
“What is it?” I asked. “What you see moving away is a barrel full of the sins of everyone in the country,” he replied.
7 Ergasii qadaadni dilaalii irraa hojjetame irraa ol fuudhame; kunoo dubartiin tokko quunnaa sana keessa teessee turte!
Then the lead lid was lifted from the barrel and there was a woman sitting inside.
8 Innis, “Kun hammina” jedhe; ergasii quunnaa keessatti gad ishee dhiibee qadaada dilaalii irraa hojjetame sana afaan quunnaatti deebise.
“She represents wickedness,” he said, and pushed her back inside, forcing the lead lid shut.
9 Ergasii ani ol nan milʼadhe; kunoo dubartoonni qoochoo isaanii jalaa bubbee qaban lama fuula koo dura turan! Isaanis qoochoo akka qoochoo huummoo qabu ture; quunnaa sanas samii fi lafa gidduutti ol fuudhan.
I looked once more and saw two women flying towards me. Their wings looked like those of a stork. They picked up the barrel and flew away, high into the sky.
10 Anis, “Isaan quunnaa sana eessatti geessu?” jedheen ergamaa Waaqayyoo kan natti dubbachaa ture sana gaafadhe.
“Where are they taking it?” I asked the angel I was talking to.
11 Innis, “Mana ijaaruuf jedhanii gara biyya Baabilonitti geessu. Yeroo manni sun ijaaramee qopheeffamutti quunnaa sana fuudhanii iddoo isaa kaaʼu.”
“They're taking it to the land of Babylon to build a house for it. When the house is ready, the barrel will be placed at its base.”
