1Pea ne u toki tangaki ai ki mui, pea sio hake hoku mata pea u mamata, pea vakai ko e takainga tohi ʻoku puna.
1Again I lifted up my eyes and saw before me a flying scroll.
2Pea naʻa ne pehē mai kiate au, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke mamata ki ai?” Pea ne u pehēange, ʻOku ou sio ki ha takainga tohi ʻoku puna; ko hono lōloa ko e hanga ʻe fāngofulu, pea ko e hanga ʻe uofulu ʻa hono laulahi.
2“What do you see?” asked the angel. “I see a flying scroll,” I replied, “twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide.”
3Pea naʻe toki pehē mai ʻe ia, “Ko eni ia ʻae malaʻia ʻoku ʻalu atu ki he funga ʻo māmani kotoa pē; he koeʻuhi ʻe motuhi kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku kaihaʻa, ʻo fakatatau mo ia, pea ʻe motuhi mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku kape ʻo fakatatau mo ia.
3Then he told me, “This is the curse that is going out over the face of all the land, for according to one side of the scroll, every thief will be removed; and according to the other side, every perjurer will be removed.
4ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, te u ʻomi ia ʻeau, pea ʻe hū ia ki he fale ʻoe kaihaʻa, pea mo e fale ʻo ia ʻoku kape mo loi ʻi hoku hingoa: pea ʻe nofo ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo hono fale, pea te ne fakaʻauha ia, ʻae ʻakau ʻo hono alanga fale, pea mo hono ngaahi maka.”
4I will send it out, declares the LORD of Hosts, and it will enter the house of the thief and the house of him who swears falsely by My name. It will remain inside his house and destroy it, down to its timbers and stones.”
5¶ Pea naʻe toki ʻalu atu ʻae ʻāngelo ʻaia naʻa ma talanoa mo au, ʻo ne pehē kiate au, “Hanga hake eni ho mata, pea ke sio pe ko e hā ʻae meʻa ni ʻoku ʻalu atu.”
5Then the angel who was speaking with me came forward and told me, “Now lift up your eyes and see what is approaching.”
6Pea naʻaku pehē, “Ko e hā ia?” Pea ne pehē mai, “Ko e efa ia ʻoku hā mai.” Naʻa ne pehē mai foki, “Ko honau fakatātā eni ʻi māmani kotoa pē.”
6“What is it?” I asked. And he replied, “A measuring basket is going forth.” Then he continued, “This is their iniquity in all the land.”
7Pea vakai, ne hiki hake ʻae konga pulu mamafa: pea ko e fefine ia ʻoku nofo ʻi he loto efa.
7And behold, the cover of lead was raised, and there was a woman sitting inside the basket.
8Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Ko angahala ia.” Pea naʻa ne lī ia ki he loto efa; pea naʻa ne tataʻo ʻaki hono ngutu ʻae konga pulu mamafa.
8“This is Wickedness,” he said. And he shoved her down into the basket, pushing down the lead cover over its opening.
9Hili ia naʻaku hanga hake hoku mata, pea u sio, pea vakai naʻe haʻu ʻae ongo fafine ʻe toko ua, pea naʻe ʻi hona kapakau ʻae matangi; he naʻa na kapakau ʻo hangē ko e sitoaki: pea naʻa na hiki hake ʻae efa ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo māmani mo e langi.
9Then I lifted up my eyes and saw two women approaching, with the wind in their wings. Their wings were like those of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between heaven and earth.
10Pea naʻaku pehē ai ki he ʻāngelo ʻaia naʻa ma talanoa mo au, “ʻOku na fua ki fē ʻae efa?”
10“Where are they taking the basket?” I asked the angel who was speaking with me.
11Pea naʻa ne pehē mai kiate au, “Ke langa ʻae fale moʻona ʻi he fonua ko Sinaʻa: pea ʻe fokotuʻu ia ʻi ai, ʻo tuku ʻi ai ki hono tuʻunga pe ʻoʻona.”
11“To build a house for it in the land of Shinar,” he told me. “And when it is ready, the basket will be set there on its pedestal.”
