Zechariah 5

1 Nígbà náà ni mo yípadà, mo sì gbé ojú mi sókè, mo sì wò, sì kíyèsi i, ìwé kíká ti ń fò.

Again I lifted up my eyes and saw before me a flying scroll.

2 Ó sì wí fún mi pé, “Kí ni ìwọ rí?” Èmi sì dáhùn pé, “Mo rí ìwé kíká tí ń fò; gígùn rẹ̀ jẹ́ ogún ìgbọ̀nwọ́, ìbú rẹ̀ sì jẹ́ ìgbọ̀nwọ́ mẹ́wàá.”

“What do you see?” asked the angel. “I see a flying scroll,” I replied, “twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide.”

3 Ó sì wí fún mi pé, “Èyí ni ègún tí ó jáde lọ sí gbogbo ilẹ̀ ayé, nítorí gbogbo àwọn tí ó bá jalè ni a ó ké kúrò láti ìhín lọ nípa rẹ̀; gbogbo àwọn tí ó bá sì búra èké ni a ó ké kúrò láti ìhín lọ nípa rẹ̀.

Then he told me, “This is the curse that is going out over the face of all the land, for according to one side of the scroll, every thief will be removed; and according to the other side, every perjurer will be removed.

4 Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí pé, ‘Èmi yóò mú un jáde, Èmi yóò si wọ inú ilé olè lọ, àti inú ilé ẹni ti o bá fi orúkọ mi búra èké, yóò si wà ni àárín ilé rẹ̀, yóò si rún pẹ̀lú igi àti òkúta inú rẹ̀.’”

I will send it out, declares the LORD of Hosts, and it will enter the house of the thief and the house of him who swears falsely by My name. It will remain inside his house and destroy it, down to its timbers and stones.”

5 Angẹli tí ń bá mi sọ̀rọ̀ sì jáde lọ, ó sì wí fún mi pé, “Gbé ojú rẹ sókè nísinsin yìí, kí o sì wo nǹkan tí yóò jáde lọ.”

Then the angel who was speaking with me came forward and told me, “Now lift up your eyes and see what is approaching.”

6 Mo sì wí pé, “Kí ni nǹkan náà?” Ó sì wí pé, “Èyí ni òsùwọ̀n tí ó jáde lọ.” Ó sì wí pé, “Èyí ni àwòrán ní gbogbo ilẹ̀ ayé.”

“What is it?” I asked. And he replied, “A measuring basket is going forth.” Then he continued, “This is their iniquity in all the land.”

7 Sì kíyèsi i, a gbé tálẹ́ǹtì òjé sókè, obìnrin kan sì nìyìí tí ó jókòó sí àárín àpẹẹrẹ òsùwọ̀n.

And behold, the cover of lead was raised, and there was a woman sitting inside the basket.

8 Ó sì wí pé, “Èyí ni ìwà búburú.” Ó sì ti sí àárín òsùwọ̀n, ó sì ju ìdérí òjé sí ẹnu rẹ̀.

“This is Wickedness,” he said. And he shoved her down into the basket, pushing down the lead cover over its opening.

9 Mo sì gbé ojú mi sókè, mo sì wò, sì kíyèsi i, obìnrin méjì jáde wá, ẹ̀fúùfù sì wá nínú ìyẹ́ wọn; nítorí wọ́n ní ìyẹ́ bí ìyẹ́ àkọ̀, wọ́n sì gbé àpẹẹrẹ òsùwọ̀n náà dé àárín méjì ayé àti ọ̀run.

Then I lifted up my eyes and saw two women approaching, with the wind in their wings. Their wings were like those of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between heaven and earth.

10 Mo sì sọ fún angẹli tí ó ń bá mi sọ̀rọ̀ pé, “Níbo ni àwọn wọ̀nyí ń gbé òsùwọ̀n náà lọ.”

“Where are they taking the basket?” I asked the angel who was speaking with me.

11 Ó si wí fún mi pé, “Sí orílẹ̀-èdè Babeli láti kọ ilé fún un. Tí ó bá ṣetán, a ó sì fi ìdí rẹ̀ mulẹ̀, a o sì fi ka orí ìpìlẹ̀ rẹ̀ níbẹ̀.”

“To build a house for it in the land of Shinar,” he told me. “And when it is ready, the basket will be set there on its pedestal.”
