Yeremiya 28

1 Chaka chomwecho mwezi wachisanu wa chaka chachinayi, poyambirira pa ulamuliro wa Zedekiya mfumu ya Yuda, mneneri Hananiya mwana wa Azuri, amene amachokera ku Gibiyoni, anandiwuza ine mʼNyumba ya Yehova pamaso pa ansembe ndi anthu onse kuti,

In the fifth month of that same year, the fourth year, near the beginning of the reign of King Zedekiah of Judah, the prophet Hananiah son of Azzur, who was from Gibeon, said to me in the house of the LORD in the presence of the priests and all the people:

2 “Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa Israeli, akuti, ‘Ndidzathyola goli la mfumu ya ku Babuloni.

“This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.

3 Pasanathe zaka ziwiri ndidzabweretsa pa malo ano ziwiya zonse za ku Nyumba ya Yehova zimene Nebukadinezara mfumu ya ku Babuloni anazichotsa pa malo pano ndi kupita nazo ku Babuloni.

Within two years I will restore to this place all the articles of the house of the LORD that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon removed from here and carried to Babylon.

4 Ndidzabweretsanso pa malo pano Yekoniya mwana wa Yehoyakimu mfumu ya Yuda pamodzi ndi akapolo ena onse ochokera ku Yuda amene anapita ku Babuloni,’ akutero Yehova, ‘chifukwa ndidzathyola goli la mfumu ya ku Babuloni.’”

And I will restore to this place Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, along with all the exiles from Judah who went to Babylon,’ declares the LORD, ‘for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.’”

5 Pamenepo mneneri Yeremiya anayankha mneneri Hananiya pamaso pa ansembe ndi anthu onse amene anasonkhana mʼNyumba ya Yehova.

Then the prophet Jeremiah replied to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests and all the people who were standing in the house of the LORD.

6 Anati, “Ameni! Yehova achitedi zomwezo! Yehova akwaniritse mawu amene waloserawo. Iye abweretsenso pa malo pano ziwiya za mʼNyumba ya Yehova ndi akapolo onse kuchokera ku Babuloni.

“Amen!” Jeremiah said. “May the LORD do so! May the LORD fulfill the words you have prophesied, and may He restore the articles of His house and all the exiles back to this place from Babylon.

7 Komabe, tamvera zimene nditi ndikuwuze iweyo pamodzi ndi anthu onse:

Nevertheless, listen now to this message I am speaking in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people.

8 Kunali aneneri kalelo, ine ndi iwe tisanabadwe. Iwowa analosera za nkhondo, mavuto ndi mliri kuti zidzagwera mayiko ambiri ndi maufumu amphamvu.

The prophets of old who preceded you and me prophesied war, disaster, and plague against many lands and great kingdoms.

9 Koma mneneri amene amalosera zamtendere adzadziwika kuti ndi woona ndi kuti watumidwa ndi Yehova ngati zimene wanenera zachitikadi.”

As for the prophet who prophesies peace, only if the word of the prophet comes true will the prophet be recognized as one the LORD has truly sent.”

10 Pamenepo mneneri Hananiya anachotsa goli mʼkhosi mwa mneneri Yeremiya nalithyola,

Then the prophet Hananiah took the yoke off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet and broke it.

11 ndipo anawuza anthu onse kuti, “Yehova akuti, ‘Umu ndi mmene ndidzathyolere goli la Nebukadinezara mfumu ya ku Babuloni mʼkhosi mwa anthu a mitundu yonse pasanathe zaka ziwiri.’” Zitatero, mneneri Yeremiya anachoka.

And in the presence of all the people Hananiah proclaimed, “This is what the LORD says: ‘In this way, within two years I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon off the neck of all the nations.’” At this, Jeremiah the prophet went on his way.

12 Patapita nthawi pangʼono, mneneri Hananiya atathyola goli mʼkhosi mwa mneneri Yeremiya, Yehova anawuza Yeremiya kuti,

But shortly after Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke off his neck, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:

13 “Pita, kawuze mneneri Hananiya kuti, ‘Yehova akuti: Iwe wathyola goli lamtengo, mʼmalo mwake Ine ndidzayika goli lachitsulo.

“Go and tell Hananiah that this is what the LORD says: ‘You have broken a yoke of wood, but in its place you have fashioned a yoke of iron.’

14 Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa Israeli akuti: Ndidzayika goli lachitsulo mʼkhosi mwa anthu a mitundu yonseyi kuti atumikire Nebukadinezara mfumu ya ku Babuloni, ndipo iwo adzamutumikiradi. Ndipo ndamupatsanso ulamuliro ngakhale pa nyama zakuthengo.’”

For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations to make them serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and they will serve him. I have even given him control of the beasts of the field.’”

15 Ndipo mneneri Yeremiya anawuza mneneri Hananiya kuti, “Tamvera, Hananiya! Iweyo Yehova sanakutume, koma iwe wanyenga anthuwa kuti akhulupirire zabodza.

Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah, “Listen, Hananiah! The LORD did not send you, but you have persuaded this people to trust in a lie.

16 Nʼchifukwa chake Yehova akuti, ‘Ndatsala pangʼono kukuchotsa pa dziko lapansi. Iwe ufa chaka chino chisanathe, chifukwa wakhala ukulalikira zowukira Yehova.’”

Therefore this is what the LORD says: ‘I am about to remove you from the face of the earth. You will die this year because you have preached rebellion against the LORD.’”

17 Mʼmwezi wachisanu ndi chiwiri wa chaka chomwecho, mneneri Hananiya anamwaliradi.

And in the seventh month of that very year, the prophet Hananiah died.
