Zechariah 5

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

Tango natalaki lisusu, namonaki buku moko: ezali kopumbwa.

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.”

Anjelu oyo azalaki kosolola na ngai atunaki ngai: — Ozali komona nini? Nazongisaki: — Nazali komona buku moko: ezali kopumbwa; molayi na yango ezali na bametele pene zomi, mpe mokuse na yango, bametele pene mitano.

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.”

Alobaki na ngai: — Ezali nde bilakeli mabe oyo ezali kopanzana na mokili mobimba; pamba te, kolanda ndenge ekomama na ngambo moko, bakobengana miyibi nyonso; mpe kolanda ndenge ekomama na ngambo mosusu, bakobengana bato nyonso oyo balapaka ndayi ya lokuta.

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.

Nakoyeisa elakeli mabe oyo mpo ete ekota kati na ndako ya moyibi mpe kati na ndako ya moto oyo alapaka ndayi ya lokuta na Kombo na Ngai. Ekotikala solo kati na ndako na ye mpe ekobebisa yango nyonso, ezala mabaya to mabanga na yango, elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.

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.”

Anjelu oyo azalaki kosolola na ngai apusanaki pene na ngai mpe alobaki: — Tombola miso na yo mpe tala makambo oyo ezali koleka kuna.

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.”

Natunaki: — Makambo nini yango? Azongisaki: — Ezali nde sani, emekelo motuya ya biloko. Abakisaki: — Sani yango etondisamaki na masumu ya bato ya mokili.

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

Kaka na tango yango, mofinuku na yango ya ebende etombwamaki, mpe namonaki mwasi moko avanda na kati.

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.

Alobaki: — Mwasi wana azali elembo ya makambo mabe. Bongo azongisaki ye kati na sani, emekelo motuya ya biloko, mpe azipaki mofinuku na yango.

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.

Natombolaki miso mpe namonaki liboso na ngai basi mibale bazali kopumbwa mpo na koya epai na biso. Mapapu na bango ezalaki minene lokola mapapu ya nkongi. Batombolaki sani yango kino na kati-kati ya likolo mpe se.

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

Natunaki Anjelu oyo azalaki kosolola na ngai: — Bazali komema sani yango wapi?

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.”

Azongisaki: — Bazali komema yango na mokili ya Babiloni mpo ete batongela yango ndako, na Shineari. Soki ndako yango esili kotongama, bakotia sani yango kuna.
