Sakaria 5
1 Mehwɛɛ bio, na mihuu nhoma mmobɔwee a ɛretu wɔ wim wɔ mʼanim!
And I lifted up my eyes again and looked, and behold, a flying roll.
2 Obisaa me se, “Dɛn na wuhu yi?” Mibuae se, “Mihu nhoma mmobɔwee a ɛnenam wim a ne tenten yɛ anammɔn aduasa, na ne trɛw nso yɛ anammɔn dunum.”
And he said to 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 Na ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Eyi ne nnome a ɛreba asase yi so nyinaa; sɛnea ɔfa baako kyerɛ no, wɔbɛpam ɔkorɔmfo biara, na ɔfa baako nso kyerɛ sɛ, obiara a ɔka ntamhunu no, wɔbɛpam no.
Then said he to me: — This is the curse that goeth forth Over the Face of the whole land; For every one who stealeth shall be cut off from hence, according to it, And every one who sweareth falsely shall be cut off from hence, according to it.
4 Asafo Awurade pae mu ka se, ‘Meresoma nnome yi na ɛbɛhyɛn ɔkorɔmfo ne obiara a ɔde me din ka ntamhunu no fi. Ɛbɛka ofie hɔ na asɛe ne nnua ne abo.’”
I will bring it forth, saith Jehovah 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 abide in his house, And shall consume it, with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.
5 Afei ɔbɔfo a na ɔne me rekasa no baa nʼanim bɛka kyerɛɛ me se, “Ma wʼani so na hwɛ eyi, nea ɛreba yi.”
Then the angel who talked with me went forth, and said to me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what this is which goeth forth.
6 Mibisa sɛ “Ɛyɛ dɛn?” Obuae se, “Ɛyɛ kɛntɛn a wɔde susuw nneɛma.” Ɔtoaa so se, “nnipa a wɔwɔ wiase yi mu bɔne ahyɛ no ma.”
And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah which goeth forth. He said, moreover, This is their image through all the land.
7 Afei woyii kɛntɛn no so sumpii mmuaso no, na mu na na ɔbea bi hyɛ!
And behold, a talent of lead was lifted up, and a woman was sitting upon the ephah.
8 Ɔkae se, “Eyi yɛ atirimɔdensɛm,” afei ɔkaa ɔbea no hyɛɛ kɛntɛn no mu na ɔde sumpii mmuaso no kataa no so.
And he said, This is the Wickedness. And he cast her into the ephah, and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.
9 Afei memaa me ti so huu mmea baanu a wɔwɔ ntaban te sɛ asukɔnkɔn de a wɔde dannan wɔn ho wɔ wim. Wɔmaa kɛntɛn no so kɔɔ wim, ɔsoro ne asase ntam.
Then lifted I up mine eyes and looked, and behold, there came forth two women, and 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 heaven.
10 Mibisaa ɔbɔfo a na ɔne me rekasa no se, “Ɛhe na wɔde kɛntɛn no rekɔ?”
Then said I to the angel who talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah?
11 Obuae se, “Wɔde rekɔ Babilonia asase so akosi fi ama no. Na sɛ, wowie a, wɔde kɛntɛn no bɛkɔ akosi nʼafa.”
And he said to me, To build it a house in the land of Shinar, that it may be fixed there, and set upon its base.
