Zechariah 5
1 I looked up again, and I saw a scroll that was flying [through the air].
Kalpasanna, timmaliawak ken timmangadak ket adtoy, nakitak ti maysa nga agtaytayab a nalukot a pagbasaan!
2 The angel asked me, “What do you see?” I replied, “I see a flying scroll that is [huge], (10 yards/9 meters) long and (5 yards/4.5 meters) wide.”
Kinuna ti anghel kaniak, “Ania ti makitkitam?” Insungbatko, “Makitkitak ti maysa a nalukot a pagbasaan a duapulo a kadapan ti kaatiddogna ken sangapulo a kadapan ti kaakabana.”
3 Then he said to me, “On this scroll is written the [words that Yahweh is speaking to] curse the entire country. On [one side of] the scroll it is written that every thief will be banished. On [the other side] it is written that everyone who tells a lie when he is solemnly promising to tell the truth will also be banished from the country.
Ket kinunana kaniak, “Daytoy ti lunod nga agsaknap iti entero a daga ti Juda, ta manipud ita, mapapanawto ti tunggal agtatakaw segun iti nailanad iti maysa a paset ti pagbasaan, idinto a mapapanaw amin dagiti agsapata iti ulbod, segun iti nailanad iti sabali a paset ti pagbasaan, maitutop kadagiti sasaoda.
4 The Commander of the armies of angels says, ‘I will send [copies of] this scroll to the places where thieves live and to the houses of those who use my name when they solemnly promise to tell the truth. [The copies of] this scroll will stay in their houses, until those houses and all their wood and stones are destroyed.’”
'Iyegkonto daytoy a lunod' —daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, 'sumrekto ngarud daytoy iti balay ti agtatakaw ken iti balay ti tao nga agsapata iti ulbod babaen iti naganko. Agtalinaed daytoy iti balayna ket ibusen daytoy dagiti kayo ken batbato iti balay.'”
5 Then the angel who had been talking to me came closer to me and said, “Look up and see what is appearing!”
Kalpasanna, nagparang ti anghel a nakisarsarita kaniak ket kinunana kaniak, “Tumangadka ket kitaem ti sumungsungad!”
6 I asked him, “What is it?” He replied, “It is a big basket [for measuring grain]. But it represents the sins that everyone in this nation has committed.”
Kinunak, “Ania daytoy?” Kinunana, “Maysa daytoy a basket a sumungsungad a naglaon iti maysa nga efa. Daytoy dagiti nadagsen a basolda iti entero a daga.”
7 Then [the angel] lifted the basket’s cover, [which was made] of lead. There was a woman sitting inside the basket!
Ket naingato ti buli a kalub ti basket, ket adda maysa a babai a nakatugaw iti uneg daytoy!
8 The angel said, “She represents the wicked things [that people do].” Then the angel pushed her back into the basket and closed the very heavy lid [again].
Kinuna ti anghel, “Ibagbagi daytoy a babai ti Kinadangkes!” Ket intalmegna ti babai iti uneg ti basket sana inkabil ti buli a kalub ti basket.
9 Then I looked up and saw two women in front of me. They [were flying toward us], with their wings spread out in the wind. Their wings were [large], like [SIM] storks’ wings. They lifted the big basket up into the sky.
Timmangadak ket nakitak ti dua a babbai nga umas-asideg kaniak, ken adda angin kadagiti payakda—ta addaanda kadagiti payak a kasla kadagiti payak ti kannaway. Intayabda ti basket iti nagbaetan ti daga ken langit.
10 I asked the angel who had been talking to me, “Where are they taking that basket?”
Isu a kinunak iti anghel a nakisarsarita kaniak, “Sadino ti pangipananda iti basket?”
11 He replied, “[They are taking it] to Babylonia to build a temple for it. When the temple is finished, they will set the basket there on a pedestal [for people to worship it].”
Kinunana kaniak, “Ipanda ti basket idiay daga ti Siniar tapno mangipatakderda iti templo para iti daytoy, tapno inton nakasaganan ti templo, maikabilto ti basket sadiay, iti naisagana a pagbatayanna.”
