Zechariah 5
1 And I turned and lifted up my eyes. And I saw, and behold, a book flying.
Kisha nikageuka na kuinua macho yangu, nami nikaona, tazama, gombo lirukalo!
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.”
Malaika akaniuliza, “Unaona nini?” Nikajibu, “Ninaona gombo lirukalo, urefu wake dhiraa ishirini na upana wake dhiraa kumi.”
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.”
Ndipo aliponiambia, “Hii ni laana iendayo juu ya uso wa nchi yote, kwani tangu sasa kila mwivi ataondolewa kulingana na lisemavyo upande mmoja, wakati kila aapaye kiapo cha uongo ataondolewa kulingana na lisemavyo upande mwingine, kwa kadili ya maneno yake.
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.
“Nitalituma - asema Yahwe wa majeshi - hivyo litaingia nyumbani mwa mwivi na nyumbani mwa aapaye kwa uongo kwa jina langu. Litasalia nyumbani mwake na kuteketeza mbao na mawe yake.”
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.”
Ndipo malaika aliyekuwa akisema nami alipoenda nje na kuniambia, “Inua macho yako uone kinachokuja!”
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.”
Nikasema, “Ni nini hiki?” Akasema, “Hiki ni kikapu kilicho na efa ijayo. Huu ni uovu wao katika nchi yote.”
7 And behold, a talent of lead was being carried; and behold, one woman sitting in the middle of the container.
Kisha mfuniko wa risasi ukainuliwa kutoka ndani ya kikapu na kulikuwa na mwanamke chini yake amekaa ndani yake!
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.
Malaika akasema, “Huu ni uovu!” na akamtupa tena kikapuni, na kurusha mfuniko wa risasi mlango pake.
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.
Nilipoinua macho nikaona wanawake wawili wakija kwangu, na upepo ulikuwa ndani ya mabawa yao - walikuwa na mabawa kama mabawa ya korongo. Wakainua kikapu kati ya mbingu na nchi.
10 And I said to the angel who was speaking with me, “Where are they taking the container?”
Hivyo nikamwuliza malaika aliyesema nami, “Wanapeleka wapi kikapu?”
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.”
Akaniambia, “Wanakwenda kujengea hekalu katika nchi ya Shinari kwa ajili yake, hekalu litakapokuwa tayari, kikapu kitawekwa kwenye msingi ulioandaliwa kwa ajili yake.”
