¹Zvino ndakarinzira meso anguzve, ndikatarira, ndikaona rugwaro rwakapetwa ruchibhururuka.

¹And I lifted up mine eyes again, and saw, and behold, a flying roll.

²Akati kwandiri, Unooneiko? Ndikapindura, ndikati, Ndinoona rugwaro rwakapetwa runobhururuka; kureba kwarwo mukubhiti ana makumi maviri, novupamhi hwarwo makubhiti ane gumi.

²And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I see a flying roll: the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.

³Ipapo akati kwandiri, Ndiko kutuka kunobudira pamusoro penyika yose; nekuti mumwe nomumwe anoba achaparadzwa kuno rumwe rutivi sezvazvakanyorwamo, uye mumwe nomumwe anopika achaparadzwa kuno rumwe rutivi sezvazvakanyorwamo.

³And he said 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 according to it on this side; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off according to it on that side.

⁴Ndichabudisa kutuka ikoko ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha wehondo kupinde mumba moanoba nomumba moanopika nhema nezita rangu; kuchagara pakati peimba yake, kuchiipedza iyo pamwechete namatanda ayo nemabwe ayo.

⁴I 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 lodge in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.

⁵Zvino mutumwa akanga achitaurirana neni akabuda, akati kwandiri, Chirinzira meso ako zvino, uone chinobudapo.

⁵And 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.

⁶Ini ndikati, Chinyiko? Iye akati, Ndiyo efa inobudapo. Akatizve, Ndizvo zvavakaita panyika yose;

⁶And I said, What is it? And he said, This is the ephah that goeth forth. And he said, This is their resemblance in all the land.

⁷(zvino ndikaona tarenda* romutobvu ruchisimudzwa); ndikaona mukadzi agere mukati meefa.

⁷And behold, there was lifted up a round plate of lead; and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.

⁸Akati, Uyu ndiye Zvakashata; akamuwisira pasi mukati meefa, akakandira mutobvu unorema pamusoro pomuromo wayo.

⁸And he said, This is Wickedness: and he cast her into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.

⁹Ipapo ndakarinzira meso angu, ndikatarira, ndikaona vakadzi vaviri vachibuda, mhepo iri mumapapiro avo; zvino vakanga vanamapapiro akafanana namapapiro ezimudo; ivo vakasimudza efa, ikava pakati penyika nedenga.

⁹And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; and they had wings like the wings of a stork; and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heavens.

¹⁰Ipapo ndikati kumutumwa akanga achitaurirana neni, Vanondoisepiko efa?

¹⁰And I said to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these carry the ephah?

¹¹Iye akati kwandiri, Kundoivakira imba panyika yeShinari; kana yapera achandoiswapo panzvimbo yayo.

¹¹And he said unto me, To build it a house in the land of Shinar; and it shall be established, and set there upon its own base.
