Yelemaia 28
1 Amo odega, oubi bi amoga amola Sedegaia ea ouligibi ode biyale amoga, balofede dunu ea dio amo Ha: nanaia (e da A: sie egefe amola ea moilai da Gibione) da Debolo diasu ganodini nama sia: i. Gobele salasu dunu huluane amola dunu eno huluane ba: ma: ne, e da nama amane sia: i,
When Zedekiah had been the King of Judah for more than three years, late in the (summer/hot season), Azzur’s son Hananiah, a prophet from Gibeon [city], spoke to me in the [courtyard of the] temple, while [all] the priests and other people were listening. He said,
2 “Hina Gode Bagadedafa, Isala: ili fi ilia Gode, da nama amane sia: i, ‘Na da Ba: bilone hina bagade amo ea gasa fi dagoi.
“This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], says: ‘I will cause the king of Babylon to stop ruling/controlling [MET] [all of you].
3 Ode aduna da mae gidigili, Na da Debolo liligi ida: iwane gala amo hina bagade Nebiuga: denese da Ba: bilone sogega gaguli asi, amo huluane bu Yelusalemega gaguli misunu.
(Within two years/Before two years have ended), I will cause to be brought bring back to this temple all the valuable things that King Nebuchadnezzar’s [soldiers] took from this temple and took to Babylon.
4 Amola Na da Yuda hina bagade, Yehoiagini (Yihoiagimi egefe) amola Yuda fi dunu huluane Ba: bilone sogega mugululi asi, amo huluane Yuda sogega buhagima: ne oule misunu. Dafawane! Na da Ba: bilone hina bagade ea gasa wadela: lesimu. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi,’” Ha: nanaia da amane sia: i.
And I will also cause King Jehoiachin to be brought back here, and all the [other] people who were captured and taken to Babylon. The king of Babylon has [forced you to do what he wants, like someone] puts a yoke [on the neck of an ox to force it to do what he] wants [MET] it to do. But I will cause that to end. [That will happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.’”
5 Amalalu, gobele salasu dunu amola dunu huluane Debolo Debolo ganodini lelu, amo nabima: ne, na da Ha: nanaiama amane sia: i,
I replied to Hananiah in front of [all] the priests and other people who were standing outside the temple.
6 “Defeadafa! Hina Gode da agoane hamosea, na da hahawane bagade ba: mu. Dia ba: la: lusu da dafawane ba: sea, amola Hina Gode da Debolo liligi Ba: bilone amoga gaguli asi amola Yuda fi dunu mugululi asi, amo huluane bu oule masea, na da hahawane ba: mu.
I said, “(Amen/May that happen)! I desire/hope that what you have predicted will happen. I hope/desire that Yahweh will do everything that you have said! I hope/desire that he will cause [men from Babylon] to bring back from Babylon [all] the valuable things that were in this temple, and all the people who were taken [to Babylon].
7 Be na da dima amola dunu huluane ilima, sia: galaiou. Nabima!
But now listen to what I say to you while all these people are listening.
8 Musa: hemonega, di amola na amola ani hame lalelegeiya, balofede dunu ilia da amane ba: la: lusu; gegesu amola ha: amola olo bagade da gasa bagade fifi asi gala amola hina bagade ilia fi ilima doaga: mu.
Many years ago, those who were prophets before you and I [became prophets] spoke messages about many nations and great kingdoms. They predicted/prophesied that wars and disasters and plagues/diseases would occur in those nations.
9 Be balofede dunu da olofosu fawane ba: la: lusu, amo ea hou ninia da agoane adoba: sa. Ea ba: la: lusu sia: i da dafawane doaga: i dagoi ba: sea fawane, Hina Gode da amo balofede asunasi, ninia dawa:”
[So now you or] any other prophet who predicts that things will go well [for us must show that your message is correct. Only] if what you predict actually happens will we know that you were truly appointed by Yahweh.”
10 Amalalu, Ha: nanaia da “youge” na galogoa amoga fadegale, fifi dagoi.
Then Hananiah took the yoke off my neck and broke it.
11 E da dunu huluane nabima: ne amane sia: i, “Hina Gode da ‘youge’ amo hina bagade Nebiuga: denese da fifi asi gala ilia galogoaga gasisali, amo fifimu. Ode aduna da hame gidigili, E da agoane hamomu.” Amalalu, na da fisili asi.
Then he said this to all the people who were there: “This is what Yahweh says: ‘Just like Hananiah has broken this yoke, within two years I will cause King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon to [stop forcing the people to do what he wants, which has been like] a heavy yoke on all their necks [MET].’” After Hananiah said that, I left the temple area.
12 Ouesalu, Hina Gode da na da Ha: nanaiama masa: ne sia: i.
[Soon] after Hananiah had broken the yoke that was around my neck, Yahweh gave this message to me:
13 E da na Ha: nanaiama amane sia: ma: ne sia: i, “Hina Gode da amane sia: sa ‘Di da ifaga hamoi ‘youge’ fimusa: dawa: Be Na da amo ea sogebiga, ouli ‘youge’ legemu.’
“Go and say this to Hananiah: ‘Yahweh says that you have broken a wooden yoke, but that he will replace it with an iron yoke.
14 Hina Gode Bagadedafa, Isala: ili dunu ilia Gode, da amo fifi asi gala huluane ilia Ba: bilone hina bagade Nebiuga: denese ea udigili hawa: hamomusa: gini, ilia galogoaga ouli ‘youge’ gasisalimu. Hina Gode hamobeba: le, dunu huluane amola sigua ohe da Nebiuga: denese ea udigili hawa: hamomu, Hina Gode da amane sia: i dagoi.”
I have forced the people of all these nations to [become slaves of] King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. That is [like] [MET] an iron yoke around their necks. I have put everything, even wild animals, under his control.’”
15 Amo sia: huluane na da Ha: nanaiama sia: i, amola eno amane sia: i, “Ha: nanaia! Di nabima! Hina Gode da di hame asunasi. Amola, dunu da giadofale dawa: ma: ne, di da ilima ogogosa.
Then I [went to] Hananiah and said to him, “Hananiah, listen [to this]: Yahweh has not appointed you; instead, [you have told] lies to the people, and they have believed your lies.
16 Amaiba: le, Hina Gode Hisu da di fadegamusa: sia: sa. Wali ode da mae gidigili, di da bogomu. Bai di da dunu ilia Hina Godema odoga: ma: ne olelei.”
Therefore, this is what Yahweh says: ‘You will [soon] die. Before the end of this year, you will die, because you have rebelled against Yahweh.’”
17 Amola Ha: nanaia da oubi fesu amo odega fawane, bogoi dagoi.
Hananiah died two months later.
