< Zekaria 5 >

1 A LAWA hou ae la ko'u mau maka iluna, ike aku la au, aia hoi, he owili pepa e lele ana.
Then I turned, and lifted up my eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll.
2 I mai la kela ia'u, Heaha kau mea ike? I aku la au, Ke ike aku nei au i ka owili pepa lele ana; he iwakalua hailima ka loa, a he umi hailima ka laula.
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 Olelo mai la kela ia'u, Eia ka hoahewa ana e hele aku maluna o ka ili a pau o ka honua. No ka mea, o kela mea keia mea aihue, e hookiia auanei oia ma keia aoao, e like me ka keia; a o kela mea keia mea e hoohiki wahahee ana, e hookiia'e oia ma kela aoao, e like me ka kela.
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 Ua lawe mai nei au in, wahi a Iehova o na kaua, a e komo aku ia iloko o ka hale o ka aihue, a o ka hale o ka mea e hoohiki wahahee ana ma ko'u inoa; e noho ia iloko o kona hale, a e hoopau oia ia mea me ka laau a me ka pohaku ona.
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 Alaila, hele aku la ka anela i kamailio pu me au, a i mai la ia'u, E nana ae oe iluna, a e ike i kela mea e hele aku ana.
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 I aku la au, Heaha ia mea? I mai la kela, He epa ia mea e hele aku ana. I mai la hoi oia, Eia ko lakou helehelena ma ka honua a pau.
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 Aia hoi, ua kaikaiia'e he popo kepau; a o ka mea e noho ana iwaenakonu o ka epa, he wahine ia.
And behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this [is] a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.
8 I mai la kela, O keia ka aia. A hoolei aku la oia ia mea mawaena konu o ka epa; a hoolei iho la ia i ka pohaku kepau maluna iho o kona waha.
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 Alaila, nana ae la au iluna, ike aku la, aia hoi, puka mai la na wahine elua iwaho, a iloko o ko laua mau eheu ka makani; no ka mea, he mau eheu ia laua e like me na eheu o ka setoreka: a kaikai ae la lakou i ka epa iluna iwaena o ka honua a me ka lani.
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 Ninau aku la au i ka anela i kamailio me au, Mahea la laua nei e lawe aku ai i ka epa?
Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah?
11 I mai la kela ia'u, No ka hana i hale nona ma ka aina i Sinara; ilaila ia e hoonohoia'i, a e kau ia maluna o kona kumu.
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.
