A Flying Roll
1 Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll.
Basi, nikainua macho yangu tena, nikaona, na tazama, gombo la chuo lirukalo.
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.
Akaniuliza, Unaona nini? Nikajibu, Naona gombo la chuo lirukalo; na urefu wake ni dhiraa ishirini, na upana wake dhiraa kumi.
3 Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it.
Ndipo akaniambia, Hii ndiyo laana itokayo kwenda juu ya uso wa nchi yote; maana kwa hiyo kila aibaye atatolewa kama ilivyo upande mmoja, na kwa hiyo kila aapaye atatolewa kama ilivyo upande wa pili.
4 I will bring it forth, saith the LORD 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 remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.
Nitaituma itokee, asema Bwana wa majeshi, nayo itaingia katika nyumba ya mwivi, na katika nyumba yake yeye aapaye kwa uongo kwa jina langu; nayo itakaa katikati ya nyumba yake, na kuiteketeza, pamoja na boriti zake na mawe yake.
An Ephah and a Talent
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.
Ndipo yule malaika aliyesema nami akatokea, akaniambia, Inua macho yako sasa, uone ni kitu gani kitokeacho.
6 And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance through all the earth.
Nikasema, Ni kitu gani? Akasema, Kitu hiki ni efa itokeayo. Tena akasema, Huu ndio uovu wao katika nchi hii yote;
7 And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.
na tazama, talanta ya risasi iliinuliwa; na tazama, mwanamke akaaye katikati ya hiyo efa.
8 And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.
Akasema, Huyu ni Uovu; akamtupa chini katikati ya ile efa; akalitupa lile jiwe la risasi juu ya mdomo wa ile efa.
9 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven.
Ndipo nikainua macho yangu, nikaona, na tazama, wanawake wawili walitokea, nao upepo ulikuwa katika mabawa yao; na mabawa yao yalikuwa kama mabawa ya korongo; wakaiinua ile efa kati ya dunia na mbingu.
10 Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah?
Ndipo nikamwambia yule malaika aliyesema nami, Hawa wanaipeleka wapi efa hii?
11 And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.
Akaniambia, Wanakwenda kumjengea nyumba katika nchi ya Shinari; tena ikiisha kutengenezwa, atawekwa huko mahali pake mwenyewe.
