Sakaria 5
1 Mehwɛɛ bio, na mehunuu nwoma mmobɔeɛ a ɛretu wɔ ewiem wɔ mʼanim!
Then I turned, and lifted up my eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll.
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 seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; its length [is] twenty cubits, and its breadth ten cubits.
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.
Then said he to me, This [is] the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off [as] on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off [as] on that side according to it.
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 bring it forth, saith the LORD 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 remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with its timber and its stones.
5 Afei, ɔbɔfoɔ a na ɔne me rekasa no baa nʼanim bɛka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Ma wʼani so na hwɛ yei, deɛ ɛreba yi.”
Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said to me, Lift up now thy eyes, and see what [is] this that goeth forth.
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] an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This [is] their resemblance through all the earth.
7 Afei wɔyii kɛntɛn no so sumpii mmuasoɔ no, na emu na na ɔbaa bi hyɛ!
And behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this [is] a woman that sitteth 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 [is] wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon its mouth.
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.
Then I lifted up my eyes, and looked and behold, there came out two women, and the 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 the heaven.
10 Mebisaa ɔbɔfoɔ a na ɔne me rekasa no sɛ, “Ɛhe na wɔde kɛntɛn no rekɔ?”
Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah?
11 Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Wɔde rekɔ Babilonia asase so akɔsi fie ama no. Na sɛ, wɔwie a, wɔde kɛntɛn no bɛkɔ akɔsi nʼafa.”
And he said to me, To build for it a house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.
