Zacarias 5

Te Kitenga Tuaono: Te Pukapuka e Rere ana

1 Nā, ka maranga ake anō ōku kanohi, ā, ka kite, nā, ko tētahi pukapuka e rere ā-manu ana. 2 Nā, ka mea ia ki ahau, "Ko te aha tāu e kite nā?"

Anō rā ko ahau, "He pukapuka e rere ana tāku e kite nei; ko tōna roa e rua tekau whatīanga, ko tōna whānui kotahi tekau whatīanga."

3 Kātahi ia ka mea mai ki ahau: "Ko te kanga tēnei ka puta atu nei ki te mata o te whenua katoa; ko ngā tāngata katoa hoki e tāhae ana ka hātepea atu i tētahi taha, ka rite ki tā tēnei; ā, ko ngā tāngata katoa e oati teka ana, ka hātepea atu i tērā taha, ka rite ki tā tēnei. 4 ‘Māku anō e mea kia puta atu,’ e ai tā Ihowā o ngā mano, ‘ā, ka uru ki te whare o te tāhae, ki te whare hoki o te tangata i oatitia tekatia ai tōku ingoa; ā, ka noho ki roto ki tōna whare, ā pau noa ōna rākau me ōna kōhatu.’ "

Te Kitenga Tuawhitu: Te Wahine i roto i te Epa

5 Kātahi te anahera i kōrero rā ki ahau ka puta, ā, ka mea ki ahau, "Tēnā rā, e ara ōu kanohi, tirohia ko te aha tēnei ka puta nei."

6 Anō rā ko ahau, "He aha koia?"

Ā, ka kī mai ia, "Ko te epa tēnei e puta nei." I kī mai anō ia, "Ko tō rātou āhua tēnei i te whenua katoa."

7 Nā, ko tētahi taranata matā kua oti te hāpai ake; ā, he wahine tēnei e noho nei i roto i te epa. 8 Nā, ka kī ia, "Ko te Kino tēnei." Nā, makā iho ana ia e ia ki roto ki te epa; ā, makā ana e ia te poro matā ki runga ki te ngutu o taua epa.

9 Kātahi ka maranga ake ōku kanohi, ka kite, nā, ko ngā wāhine tokorua e puta mai ana, i roto hoki te hau i ō rāua parirau. Ko ō rāua parirau hoki koia anō kei o te tāka; ā, hāpainga ake ana e rāua te epa ki te takiwā o te whenua, o te rangi.

10 Kātahi ahau ka mea atu ki te anahera i kōrero rā ki ahau, "E maua ana e ēnei te epa ki hea?"

11 Ā, ka kī mai tērā ki ahau, "Hei hanga whare mōna ki te whenua o Hinara; ā, ka pūmau ki reira, ka whakatūria ki tōna tūranga."

1 Then again I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, a flying roll. 2 And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits. 3 Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole land: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off on the one side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off on the other side according to it. 4 I will cause it to go forth, saith Jehovah of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name; and it shall abide in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.

5 Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth. 6 And I said, What is it? And he said, This is the ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their appearance in all the land 7 (and, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead); and this is a woman sitting in the midst of the ephah. 8 And he said, This is Wickedness: and he cast her down into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof. 9 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there came forth two women, and the wind was in their wings; now they had wings like the wings of a stork; and they lifted up the ephah between earth and heaven. 10 Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah? 11 And he said unto me, To build her a house in the land of Shinar: and when it is prepared, she shall be set there in her own place.
