Zechariah 5

5 ¹Again I raise my eyes up look, and see, one scroll dey fly for my front. ²E ask me, “Wetin you see?” I answer, “I see one scroll wey dey fly, e long reach thirty feet, e wide reach fifteen feet.”

³Den e tell me, “Na dis be di curse wey dey comot go over di whole land. Everybody wey dey tief, dem go wipe am comot, by one side of am; everybody wey dey swear lie, dem go wipe am comot by di oda side.”

⁴“I don send am comot, na so di Papa wey dey command di armies of heaven talk; e go enter di tief im house and di house of anybody wey dey swear lie for my name, e go stay for inside dia, e go chop am finish—both di wood and di stone.”

Dem Carry Wickedness Go Im Place

⁵Den di angel wey dey talk with me come forward come say, “Now raise your eyes up look wetin dey comot go.”

⁶I ask, “Wetin be am?” E say, “Na di basket dey comot go.” Den e add, “Na dis be dia guilt for di whole land.”

⁷Sharp-sharp, dem lift di lead cover, and see, one woman dey sidon for inside di basket. ⁸E say, “Na dis be Wickedness.” E push am back go inside di basket come force di lead weight cover im mouth.

⁹I raise my eyes up come see two women dey come, wind dey inside dia wing—wing wey be like di wing of stork—and dem lift di basket for between ground and sky. ¹⁰Den I tell di angel wey dey talk with me, “Where dem dey carry di basket go?”

¹¹E tell me, “Dem wan go build house for am for di land of Shinar; and wen e ready, dem go put di basket for dia on top im base.” ^a a v11 Shinar na di ancient name for Babylonia — di land wey Israel do dia big exile.
