Jeremiah 28
1 That same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, Hananiah the son of Azzur, the prophet, who was of Gibeon, spoke to me in the LORD’s house, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,
Jalqaba bulchiinsa mootummaa Zedeqiyaa mootii Yihuudaatti, jiʼa shanaffaa waggaa sanaatti, waggaa afuraffaatti, Hanaaniyaan raajichi ilmi Azuri, namni Gibeʼoon sun mana Waaqayyoo keessatti, fuula lubootaatii fi uummata hundaa duratti akkana naan jedhe:
2 “The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says, ‘I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
“Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha; ‘Ani waanjoo mootii Baabilon nan cabsa.
3 Within two full years I will bring again into this place all the vessels of the LORD’s house that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place and carried to Babylon.
Ani waggaa lama keessatti miʼoota mana Waaqayyoo kanneen Nebukadnezar mootichi Baabilon asii guuree Baabilonitti geesse hunda iddoo kanatti deebisee nan fida.
4 I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah, who went to Babylon,’ says the LORD; ‘for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.’”
Ani amma illee Yehooyaakiin ilma Yehooyaaqiim mooticha Yihuudaa sanaa fi boojiʼamtoota Yihuudaadhaa gara Baabilonitti geeffaman kaan hunda iddoo kanatti deebisee nan fida; ani waanjoo mootii Baabilon nan cabsaatii’ jedha Waaqayyo.”
5 Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people who stood in the LORD’s house,
Ermiyaas raajichi fuuluma lubootaatii fi uummata mana Waaqayyoo keessa dhaabachaa turan hundaa duratti akkana jedhee Hanaaniyaa raajichaaf deebii kenne;
6 even the prophet Jeremiah said, “Amen! May the LORD do so. May the LORD perform your words which you have prophesied, to bring again the vessels of the LORD’s house, and all those who are captives, from Babylon to this place.
“Ameen! Waaqayyo waan kana haa godhu! Waaqayyo miʼa mana Waaqayyootii fi boojiʼamtoota boojiʼaman hunda Baabilonii iddoo kanatti deebisuudhaan raajii ati dubbatte haa raawwatu.
7 Nevertheless listen now to this word that I speak in your ears, and in the ears of all the people:
Taʼus waan ani utuu atii fi namoonni kun hundi dhageessanuu dubbadhu kana dhagaʼi:
8 The prophets who have been before me and before you of old prophesied against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, of evil, and of pestilence.
Raajonni anaa fi siin dura turan bara duriitii jalqabanii akka biyyoota baayʼee fi mootummoota gurguddootti waraanni, badiisnii fi dhaʼichi dhufu raajaniiru.
9 As for the prophet who prophesies of peace, when the word of the prophet happens, then the prophet will be known, that the LORD has truly sent him.”
Raajiin nagaa raaju garuu yoo raajiin isaa sun fiixaan baʼe qofa akka Waaqayyo biraa ergame beekama.”
10 Then Hananiah the prophet took the bar from off the prophet Jeremiah’s neck, and broke it.
Ergasii Hanaaniyaan raajichi morma Ermiyaas raajichaa irraa waanjoo fuudhee cabse;
11 Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, “The LORD says: ‘Even so I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from off the neck of all the nations within two full years.’” Then the prophet Jeremiah went his way.
innis fuula nama hundaa duratti akkana jedhe; “Waaqayyo akkana jedha; ‘Ani waggaa lama keessatti waanjoo Nebukadnezar mooticha Baabilon morma saboota hundaa irraa akkanuma nan cabsa.’” Kana irratti Ermiyaas raajichi karaa isaa qabatee qajeele.
12 Then the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah, after Hananiah the prophet had broken the bar from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
Erga Hanaaniyaan raajichi waanjoo morma Ermiyaas raajichaa irraa cabsee booddee dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Ermiyaas dhufe:
13 “Go, and tell Hananiah, saying, ‘The LORD says, “You have broken the bars of wood, but you have made in their place bars of iron.”
“Dhaqiitii akkana jedhii Hanaaniyaatti himi; ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Ati waanjoo mukaa cabsiteerta; garuu qooda isaa waanjoo sibiilaa ni argatta.
14 For the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel says, “I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they will serve him. I have also given him the animals of the field.”’”
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: Ani akka isaan Nebukadnezar mooticha Baabilon tajaajilan gochuuf morma saboota kana hundaa irra waanjoo sibiilaa nan kaʼaa; isaanis isa ni tajaajilu. Ani bineensa irratti illee ol aantummaa isaaf nan kenna.’”
15 Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, “Listen, Hananiah! The LORD has not sent you, but you make this people trust in a lie.
Ermiyaas raajichis Hanaaniyaa raajichaan akkana jedhe: “Yaa Hanaaniyaa dhagaʼi! Waaqayyo si hin ergine; ati garuu akka sabni kun sobaa abdatu gooteerta.
16 Therefore the LORD says, ‘Behold, I will send you away from off the surface of the earth. This year you will die, because you have spoken rebellion against the LORD.’”
Kanaafuu Waaqayyo akkana jedha: ‘Ani lafa irraa sin balleessa; ati waan Waaqayyo irratti fincila lallabdeef baruma kana duuta.’”
17 So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.
Hanaaniyaa raajichis wagguma sana keessa jiʼa torbaffaatti duʼe.
