Zakkaariyaas 5
1 Ani ammas ol milʼadhe; kunoo kitaabni maramaan barrisu tokko fuula koo dura ture!
And once more lifted I mine eyes, and looked, —and lo! a Flying Volume.
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.
And he said unto me, What canst thou see? So I said, I, can see a flying volume, the length thereof, twenty by the cubit, and, the breadth thereof, ten by the cubit.
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.
Then said he unto me, This, is the curse, which is going forth over the face of all the earth, —Because, every one who stealeth, on the one side, hath in one way been let off, and, every one who sweareth, on the other side, hath in another way been let off,
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.’”
[therefore] have I brought it forth, Declareth Yahweh of hosts, And it shall enter—into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth by my name, falsely, —and it shall roost in the midst of his house, and shall consume it, both the timbers thereof, and the stones thereof.
5 Ergamaan Waaqayyoo kan natti dubbachaa ture sun dhufee, “Mee ol jedhii waan dhufaa jiru sana ilaali” naan jedhe.
Then came forward, the messenger who was talking with me, —and said unto me—Lift up, I pray thee, thine eyes, and see what this is which is coming forth.
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.
And I said, What is it? Then said he, This, is an ephah that is coming forth. And he said, This, is their iniquity, throughout all the land.
7 Ergasii qadaadni dilaalii irraa hojjetame irraa ol fuudhame; kunoo dubartiin tokko quunnaa sana keessa teessee turte!
And lo! a leaden disc uplifted, —and here a certain woman, sitting inside the ephah.
8 Innis, “Kun hammina” jedhe; ergasii quunnaa keessatti gad ishee dhiibee qadaada dilaalii irraa hojjetame sana afaan quunnaatti deebise.
Then said he, This, is Lawlessness. So he thrust her back inside the ephah, —and then thrust the leaden weight into the mouth thereof.
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.
Then lifted I up mine eyes and looked, and lo! Two Women coming forward, with the wind in their wings, and, they, had wings, like the wings of the stork, —and bare up the ephah, between the earth and the heavens.
10 Anis, “Isaan quunnaa sana eessatti geessu?” jedheen ergamaa Waaqayyoo kan natti dubbachaa ture sana gaafadhe.
Then said I unto the messenger who was speaking with me, —Whither are they carrying the ephah?
11 Innis, “Mana ijaaruuf jedhanii gara biyya Baabilonitti geessu. Yeroo manni sun ijaaramee qopheeffamutti quunnaa sana fuudhanii iddoo isaa kaaʼu.”
And he said unto me, To build for it a house in the land of Shinar, —so shall it be ready, and they shall settle it there, upon its own base?
