Zechariah 5

1 And I turned and lifted up my eyes. And I saw, and behold, a book flying.

Ningĩ ngĩcooka ngĩtiira maitho, na rĩrĩ, hau mbere yakwa ngĩona ibuku-rĩa-gĩkũnjo rĩombũkaga rĩera-inĩ.

2 And he said to me, “What do you see?” And I said, “I see a book flying. Its length is twenty cubits, and its width is ten cubits.”

Nake akĩnjũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ ũroona?” Na niĩ ngĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndĩrona ibuku-rĩa-gĩkũnjo rĩrombũka rĩera-inĩ, rĩrĩ na ũraihu wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na wariĩ wa mĩkono ikũmi.”

3 And he said to me, “This is the curse that goes forth over the face of the whole earth. For every thief will be judged, just as it has been written there, and everyone who swears by this, will be judged in like manner.”

Nake akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Gĩkĩ nĩ kĩrumi kĩrĩa gĩgũtambũrũka bũrũri wothe; nĩgũkorwo kũringana na ũrĩa mwena ũmwe warĩo wandĩkĩtwo, mũici o wothe no nginya agaathaamio, naguo mwena ũcio ũngĩ warĩo ũkandĩkwo atĩrĩ, ũrĩa wothe wĩhĩtaga na maheeni nĩagathaamio.

4 I will bring it forth, says the Lord of hosts, and it will approach to the house of the thief, and to the house of him who swears falsely by my name, and it will remain in the midst of his house and will consume it, with its wood and its stones.

Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩngatũma kĩrumi kĩu, nakĩo nĩgĩgatoonya nyũmba ya mũici na nyũmba ya ũrĩa wĩhĩtaga na maheeni akĩgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩakwa. Gĩgaikara nyũmba yake na kĩmĩanange yothe, kĩanange mbaũ ciayo na mahiga mayo.’”

5 And the angel had departed, who was speaking with me. And he said to me, “Lift up your eyes, and see what this is, that goes forth.”

Ningĩ mũraika ũrĩa wanjaragĩria akiumĩra akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Tiira maitho wone nĩ kĩĩ gĩkĩ kĩroimĩra.”

6 And I said, “What, then, is it?” And he said, “This is a container going forth.” And he said, “This is their eye in all the earth.”

Ngĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩkĩ?” Nake akĩnjookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ gĩkabũ gĩa gũthima.” Agĩcooka akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩguo waganu wa andũ, ũrĩa ũrĩ bũrũri wothe.”

7 And behold, a talent of lead was being carried; and behold, one woman sitting in the middle of the container.

Nakĩo gĩkunĩko gĩa kĩgera gĩgĩkunũrwo, na rĩrĩ, hau thĩinĩ wa gĩkabũ ngĩona mũndũ-wa-nja waikarĩte thĩ ho.

8 And he said, “This is impiety.” And he cast her into the middle of the container, and he sent the weight of lead into its mouth.

Nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩwe Nyawaganu,” nake akĩmũcookia thĩinĩ wa gĩkabũ na agĩgĩkunĩka na gĩkunĩko kĩu gĩa kĩgera.

9 And I lifted up my eyes and I saw. And behold, two women were departing, and a spirit was in their wings, and they had wings like the wings of a kite, and they lifted up the container between earth and heaven.

Ngĩcooka ngĩtiira maitho, na rĩrĩ, hau mbere yakwa ngĩona andũ-a-nja eerĩ, mareretio nĩ rũhuho; tondũ maarĩ na mathagu ta ma njũũ, makĩoya gĩkabũ kĩu magĩgĩtwara rĩera-inĩ.

10 And I said to the angel who was speaking with me, “Where are they taking the container?”

Ngĩũria mũraika ũcio wanjaragĩria atĩrĩ, “Maratwara gĩkabũ kĩu kũ?”

11 And he said to me, “To a house that may be built for it in the land of Shinar, and so that it may be established and set there upon its own base.”

Nake akĩnjookeria atĩrĩ, “Maragĩtwara bũrũri wa Babuloni magagĩakĩre nyũmba kuo. Yarĩka-rĩ, gĩkabũ kĩu makĩige kuo handũ hakĩo.”
