< Zechariah 5 >

1 Then I turned me, and lifted vp mine eyes and looked, and beholde, a flying booke.
Na ka maranga ake ano oku kanohi, a ka kite, na ko tetahi pukapuka e rere a manu ana.
2 And he said vnto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying booke: the length thereof is twentie cubites, and the breadth thereof tenne cubites.
Na ka mea ia ki ahau, Ko te aha tau e kite na? Ano ra ko ahau, He pukapuka e rere ana taku e kite nei; ko tona roa e rua tekau whatianga, ko tona whanui kotahi tekau whatianga.
3 Then said he vnto me, This is the curse that goeth foorth ouer the whole earth: for euery one that stealeth, shalbe cut off aswell on this side, as on that: and euery one that sweareth, shall be cut off aswell on this side, as on that.
Katahi ia ka mea mai ki ahau, Ko te kanga tenei ka puta atu nei ki te mata o te whenua katoa: ko nga tangata katoa hoki e tahae ana ka hatepea atu i tetahi taha, ka rite ki ta tenei; a ko nga tangata katoa e oati teka ana, ka hatepea atu i tera t aha, ka rite ki ta tenei.
4 I will bring it forth, saith the Lord of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thiefe, and into the house of him, that falsely sweareth by my Name: and it shall remaine in the middes of his house, and shall consume it, with the timber thereof, and stones thereof.
Maku ano e mea kia puta atu, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, a ka uru ki te whare o te tahae, ki te whare hoki o te tangata i oatitia tekatia ai toku ingoa; a ka noho ki roto ki tona whare, a pau noa ona rakau me ona kohatu.
5 Then the Angel that talked with me, went foorth, and said vnto me, Lift vp now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth foorth.
Katahi te anahera i korero ra ki ahau ka puta, a ka mea ki ahau, Tena ra, e ara ou kanohi, tirohia ko te aha tenei ka puta nei.
6 And I saide, What is it? And hee sayde, This is an Ephah that goeth foorth. Hee saide moreouer, This is the sight of them through all the earth.
Ano ra ko ahau, He aha koia? A ka ki mai ia, Ko te epa tenei e puta nei. I ki mai ano ia, Ko to ratou ahua tenei i te whenua katoa:
7 And beholde, there was lift vp a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the middes of the Ephah.
Na ko tetahi taranata mata kua oti te hapai ake: a he wahine tenei e noho nei i roto i te epa.
8 And he said, This is wickednes, and he cast it into the middes of the Ephah, and hee cast the weight of lead vpon the mouth thereof.
Na ka ki ia, Ko te Kino tenei; na maka iho ana ia e ia ki roto ki te epa: a maka ana e ia te poro mata ki runga ki te ngutu o taua epa.
9 Then lift I vp mine eyes, and looked: and beholde, there came out two women, and the winde was in their wings (for they had wings like the wings of a storke) and they lift vp the Ephah betweene the earth and the heauen.
Katahi ka maranga ake oku kanohi, ka kite, na ko nga wahine tokorua e puta mai ana, i roto hoki te hau i o raua parirau; ko o raua parirau hoki koia ano kei o te taka; a hapainga ake ana e raua te epa ki te takiwa o te whenua, o te rangi.
10 Then saide I to the Angel that talked with me, Whither doe these beare the Ephah?
Katahi ahau ka mea atu ki te anahera i korero ra ki ahau, E maua ana e enei te epa ki hea?
11 And hee saide vnto mee, To builde it an house in the lande of Shinar, and it shall be established and set there vpon her owne place.
A ka ki mai tera ki ahau, Hei hanga whare mona ki te whenua o Hinara: a ka pumau ki reira, ka whakaturia ki tona turanga.
