Zekaria 5
1 A LAWA hou ae la ko'u mau maka iluna, ike aku la au, aia hoi, he owili pepa e lele ana.
And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked and behold a flying sickle.
2 I mai la kela ia'u, Heaha kau mea ike? I aku la au, Ke ike aku nei au i ka owili pepa lele ana; he iwakalua hailima ka loa, a he umi hailima ka laula.
And he said to me, What seest thou? And I said, I see a flying sickle, of the length of twenty cubits, and of the breadth of ten cubits.
3 Olelo mai la kela ia'u, Eia ka hoahewa ana e hele aku maluna o ka ili a pau o ka honua. No ka mea, o kela mea keia mea aihue, e hookiia auanei oia ma keia aoao, e like me ka keia; a o kela mea keia mea e hoohiki wahahee ana, e hookiia'e oia ma kela aoao, e like me ka kela.
And he said to me, This is the curse that goes forth over the face of the whole earth: for every thief shall be punished with death on this side, and every false swearer shall be punished on that side.
4 Ua lawe mai nei au in, wahi a Iehova o na kaua, a e komo aku ia iloko o ka hale o ka aihue, a o ka hale o ka mea e hoohiki wahahee ana ma ko'u inoa; e noho ia iloko o kona hale, a e hoopau oia ia mea me ka laau a me ka pohaku ona.
And I will bring it forth, saith the Lord Almighty, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that swears falsely by my name: and it shall rest in the midst of his house, and shall consume it, and the timber of it, and the stones of it.
5 Alaila, hele aku la ka anela i kamailio pu me au, a i mai la ia'u, E nana ae oe iluna, a e ike i kela mea e hele aku ana.
And the angel that talked with me went forth, and said to me, Lift up thine eyes, and see this that goes forth.
6 I aku la au, Heaha ia mea? I mai la kela, He epa ia mea e hele aku ana. I mai la hoi oia, Eia ko lakou helehelena ma ka honua a pau.
And I said, What is it? And he said, This is the measure that goes forth. And he said, This is their iniquity in all the earth.
7 Aia hoi, ua kaikaiia'e he popo kepau; a o ka mea e noho ana iwaenakonu o ka epa, he wahine ia.
And behold a talent of lead lifted up: and behold a woman sat in the midst of the measure.
8 I mai la kela, O keia ka aia. A hoolei aku la oia ia mea mawaena konu o ka epa; a hoolei iho la ia i ka pohaku kepau maluna iho o kona waha.
And he said, This is iniquity. And he cast it into the midst of the measure, and cast the weight of lead on the mouth of it.
9 Alaila, nana ae la au iluna, ike aku la, aia hoi, puka mai la na wahine elua iwaho, a iloko o ko laua mau eheu ka makani; no ka mea, he mau eheu ia laua e like me na eheu o ka setoreka: a kaikai ae la lakou i ka epa iluna iwaena o ka honua a me ka lani.
And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, two women coming forth, and the wind was in their wings; and they had stork's wings: and they lifted up the measure between the earth and the sky.
10 Ninau aku la au i ka anela i kamailio me au, Mahea la laua nei e lawe aku ai i ka epa?
And I said to the angel that spoke with me, Whither do these carry away the measure?
11 I mai la kela ia'u, No ka hana i hale nona ma ka aina i Sinara; ilaila ia e hoonohoia'i, a e kau ia maluna o kona kumu.
And he said to me, To build it a house in the land of Babylon, and to prepare [a place for it]; and they shall set it there on its own base.
