Zekaria 5
1 Ndakatarisazve ndikaona, hapo pamberi pangu paiva norugwaro rwakapetwa rwaibhururuka!
Then I turned and lifted my eyes, and I saw, behold, a flying scroll!
2 Akandibvunza akati, “Unooneiko?” Ndakapindura ndikati, “Ndinoona rugwaro rwakapetwa rwuri kubhururuka, rwakareba makubhiti makumi maviri nokufara makubhiti gumi.”
The angel said to me, “What do you see?” I answered, “I see a flying scroll, twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide.”
3 Uye iye akati kwandiri, “Uku ndiko kutuka kunobuda pamusoro penyika yose; nokuti sezvazvakanyorwa kune rimwe divi, mbavha imwe neimwe ichaparadzwa, uye sezvazvakanyorwa kune rimwe divi racho, mumwe nomumwe anopika zvenhema achaparadzwa.
Then he said to me, “This is the curse that goes out over the surface of the whole land. For every thief will be cut off according to what it says on the one side, and everyone who swears a false oath will be cut off according to what it says on the other side.
4 Zvanzi naJehovha Wamasimba Ose, ‘Ndichabudisa kutuka, uye kuchapinda muimba yembavha nomumba mouyo anopika nhema nezita rangu. Kucharamba kuri mumba make uye kuchaparadza zvose mapango namabwe ayo.’”
“I will send it out—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts—so it will enter into the house of the thief and into the house of the one that swears falsely by my name. It will remain in his house and consume its timber and stones.”
5 Ipapo mutumwa akanga achitaura neni akaswedera kwandiri akati, “Simudza meso ako uone kuti ichi chii chiri kubuda apo.”
Then the angel who was speaking with me went out and said to me, “Raise your eyes and see what is coming!”
6 Ndakabvunza ndikati, “Chiiko?” Akapindura akati, “Iri idengu rokuyeresa.” Uye akatizve, “Ichi ndicho chitadzo chavanhu vari munyika yose.”
I said, “What is it?” He said, “This is a basket containing an ephah that is coming. This is their iniquity in the whole land.”
7 Ipapo hwidibiro yomutobvu yakasimudzwa, uye mukadzi akanga akagara mudengu imomo!
Then a lead covering was lifted off the basket and there was a woman under it sitting in it!
8 Mutumwa akati, “Uyu ndiye zvakaipa,” achibva amusundidzira zvakare mudengu uye ndokuzarira muromo wedengu nehwidibiro yomutobvu.
The angel said, “This is Wickedness!” He threw her back inside the basket, and he threw the lead cover over its opening.
9 Ipapo ndakasimudza meso angu ndikaona, hapo pamberi pangu paiva navakadzi vaviri, mhepo iri mumapapiro avo! Vaiva namapapiro anenge mapapiro edambiramurove, uye vakasimudza dengu vakaenda naro mudenga pakati pedenga nenyika.
I lifted my eyes and saw two women coming toward me, and wind was in their wings—for they had wings like a stork's wings. They lifted up the basket between earth and heaven.
10 Ndakabvunza mutumwa akanga achitaura neni ndikati, “Vari kuriendesa kupiko, dengu?”
So I said to the angel who was talking to me, “Where are they taking the basket?”
11 Akapindura akati, “Kunyika yeBhabhironi kundorivakira imba. Kana yapera, dengu richaiswa imomo panzvimbo yaro.”
He said to me, “To build a temple in the land of Shinar for it, so that when the temple is ready, the basket will be set there on its prepared base.”
