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

¹Then again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, a flying scroll.

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

²He said to me, “What do you see?” I answered, “I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty cubits, and its breadth 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.

³Then he said to me, “This is the curse that goes out over the surface of the whole land; for everyone who steals shall be cut off according to it on the one side; and everyone who swears falsely shall be cut off according to it on the other 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 out,” says Yahweh of Armies, “and it will enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him who swears falsely by my name; and it will remain in the midst of his house, and will destroy it with its timber and its stones.”

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

⁵Then the angel who talked with me came forward, and said to me, “Lift up now your eyes, and see what is this that is appearing.”

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

⁶I said, “What is it?” He said, “This is the ephah An ephah is a measure of volume of about 22 litres, 5.8 U. S. gallons, or about 2/3 of a bushel. basket that is appearing.” He said moreover, “This is their appearance in all the land

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

⁷(and behold, a talent A talent is a weight of about 34 kilograms or 75 pounds. of lead was lifted up); and this is a woman sitting in the midst of the ephah basket.”

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

⁸He said, “This is Wickedness”; and he threw her down into the midst of the ephah basket; and he threw the weight of lead on its mouth.

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.

⁹Then lifted I up my eyes, and saw, and behold, there were 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 basket between earth and the sky.

¹⁰Ipapo ndikati kumutumwa akanga achitaurirana neni, Vanondoisepiko efa?

¹⁰Then I said to the angel who talked with me, “Where are these carrying the ephah basket?”

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

¹¹He said to me, “To build her a house in the land of Shinar. When it is prepared, she will be set there in her own place.”
