1 Mehwɛɛ bio, na mehunuu nwoma mmobɔeɛ a ɛretu wɔ ewiem wɔ mʼanim!
And I returned and I lifted up eyes my and I saw and there! a scroll flying.
2 Ɔbisaa me sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na wohunu yi?” Mebuaa sɛ, “Mehunu nwoma mmobɔeɛ a ɛnenam ewiem a ne tenten yɛ anammɔn aduasa, na ne tɛtrɛtɛ nso yɛ anammɔn dunum.”
And he said to me what? [are] you seeing and I said I [am] seeing a scroll flying length its [is] twenty by the cubit and breadth its [is] ten by the cubit.
3 Na ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Yei ne nnome a ɛreba asase yi so nyinaa; sɛdeɛ ɛfa baako kyerɛ no, wɔbɛpam ɔkorɔmfoɔ biara, na ɛfa baako nso kyerɛ sɛ, obiara a ɔka ntanhunu no, wɔbɛpam no.
And he said to me this [is] the curse which is about to go forth over [the] surface of all the land for every [one who] steals from this according to it he will be purged and every [one who] swears an oath from this according to it he will be purged.
4 Asafo Awurade pae mu ka sɛ, ‘Meresoma nnome yi na ɛbɛhyɛn ɔkorɔmfoɔ ne obiara a ɔde me din ka ntanhunu no fie. Ɛbɛka efie hɔ na asɛe ne nnua ne aboɔ.’”
I will send forth it [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts and it will go into [the] house of the thief and into [the] house of the [one who] swears an oath by name my to falsehood and it will lodge in [the] midst of house his and it will destroy it and wood its and stone its.
5 Afei, ɔbɔfoɔ a na ɔne me rekasa no baa nʼanim bɛka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Ma wʼani so na hwɛ yei, deɛ ɛreba yi.”
And he went out the angel who was speaking with me and he said to me lift up please eyes your and see what? [is] the [thing which] is going forth this.
6 Mebisaa sɛ “Ɛyɛ ɛdeɛn?” Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ kɛntɛn a wɔde susu nneɛma.” Ɔtoaa so sɛ, “nnipa a wɔwɔ ewiase yi mu bɔne ahyɛ no ma.”
And I said what? [is] it and he said this [is] the ephah which is going forth and he said this [is] appearance their in all the land.
7 Afei wɔyii kɛntɛn no so sumpii mmuasoɔ no, na emu na na ɔbaa bi hyɛ!
And there! a round cover of lead [was] raised and this woman one [was] sitting in [the] midst of the ephah.
8 Ɔkaa sɛ, “Yei yɛ atirimuɔdensɛm,” afei ɔkaa ɔbaa no hyɛɛ kɛntɛn no mu na ɔde sumpii mmuasoɔ no kataa no so.
And he said this [woman] [is] wickedness and he threw her into [the] midst of the ephah and he threw [the] weight of lead into mouth its.
9 Afei, memaa me tiri so mehunuu mmaa mmienu a wɔwɔ ntaban te sɛ asukɔnkɔn de danedane wɔn ho wɔ ewiem. Wɔmaa kɛntɛn no so kɔɔ ewiem, ɔsoro ne asase ntam.
And I lifted up eyes my and I saw and there! two women [were] going forth and a wind [was] in wings their and [belonged] to them wings like [the] wings of stork and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and between the heavens.
10 Mebisaa ɔbɔfoɔ a na ɔne me rekasa no sɛ, “Ɛhe na wɔde kɛntɛn no rekɔ?”
And I said to the angel who was speaking with me where? [are] they taking the ephah.

And he said to me to build for it a house in [the] land of Shinar and it will be prepared and it will be placed there on on own stand its.
