Jeremiah 28
1 And it came about in that year, when Zedekiah first became king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, that Hananiah, the son of Azzur the prophet, who came from Gibeon, said to Jeremiah in the house of the Lord, before the priests and all the people,
O ruo, nʼọnwa nke ise nke otu afọ ahụ, nke bụ afọ nke anọ, na mmalite ọchịchị Zedekaya eze Juda, Hananaya, nwa Azoa, onye amụma si Gibiọn, gwara m okwu nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị nʼihu ndị nchụaja na ndị mmadụ si m.
2 These are the words of the Lord of armies, the God of Israel: By me the yoke of the king of Babylon has been broken.
“Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ Chineke Izrel kwuru, ‘Aga m agbaji agbụ nke eze Babilọn.
3 In the space of two years I will send back into this place all the vessels of the Lord's house which Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, took away from this place to Babylon:
Tupu afọ abụọ agabiga, aga m esi Babilọn bulata ihe ndị ahụ niile Nebukadneza eze Babilọn si nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị bupụ bulaa Babilọn.
4 And I will let Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, come back to this place, with all the prisoners of Judah who went to Babylon, says the Lord: for I will have the yoke of the king of Babylon broken.
Aga m akpọlatakwa Jehoiakin nwa Jehoiakim, na ndị niile ọzọ e si na Juda dọta nʼagha bulaa Babilọn, nʼihi na aga m agbaji agbụ ahụ eze Babilọn nyanyere ha nʼolu.’” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
5 Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah, before the priests and all the people who had come into the house of the Lord,
Mgbe ahụ, Jeremaya onye amụma zara Hananaya onye amụma nʼihu ndị nchụaja na ndị mmadụ niile guzo nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị
6 The prophet Jeremiah said, So be it: may the Lord do so: may the Lord give effect to the words which you have said, and let the vessels of the Lord's house, and all the people who have been taken away, come back from Babylon to this place.
Jeremaya onye amụma sịrị, “Amen! Ka Onyenwe anyị mezuo okwu amụma a i buru site na ibughachite ngwongwo ụlọ Onyenwe anyị na ịkpọghachite ndị niile e mere ka ha si nʼebe a gaa biri na Babilọn.
7 But still, give ear to this word which I am saying to you and to all the people:
Ma gee ntị nụrụ ihe m ga-ekwu nʼihu gị na nʼihu ndị a niile guzo nʼebe a.
8 The prophets, who were before me and before you, from early times gave word to a number of countries and great kingdoms about war and destruction and disease.
Site na mgbe ochie, ndị amụma ahụ bu mụ na gị ụzọ ebuola amụma banyere agha na mbibi na ọrịa na-efe efe megide ọtụtụ obodo dị iche iche, na ọtụtụ alaeze dị iche iche.
9 The prophet whose words are of peace, when his words come true, will be seen to be a prophet whom the Lord has sent.
Ma ihe e ji amata na ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị nʼezie, zitere onye amụma buru amụma kwuo na udo ga-adị, bụ naanị ma ọ bụrụ na amụma ya emezuo.”
10 Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from the neck of the prophet Jeremiah and it was broken by his hands.
Mgbe ahụ, Hananaya bụ onye amụma yipụrụ Jeremaya agbụ ahụ o yikwasịrị onwe ya nʼolu gbajie ya.
11 And before all the people Hananiah said, The Lord has said, Even so will I let the yoke of the king of Babylon be broken off the necks of all the nations in the space of two years. Then the prophet Jeremiah went away.
Ọ sịrị nʼihu ọha mmadụ ahụ niile, “Nke a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru: ‘Ọ bụ nʼotu aka ahụ ka m ga-agbajipụkwa agbụ ịyagba Nebukadneza, eze Babilọn nyanyere nʼolu mba niile tupu afọ abụọ agabiga.’” Mgbe o kwuru otu a, Jeremaya onye amụma hapụrụ ebe ahụ laa.
12 Then after the yoke had been broken off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah by Hananiah the prophet, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,
Mgbe Hananaya bụ onye amụma gbajisiri ịyagba ahụ Jeremaya, onye amụma nyanyere onwe ya nʼolu, okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru Jeremaya ntị sị ya,
13 Go and say to Hananiah, This is what the Lord has said: Yokes of wood have been broken by you, but in their place I will make yokes of iron.
“Gaa gwa Hananaya okwu sị ya, ‘Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Ị gbajiela agbụ e ji osisi mee, ma nʼọnọdụ ya ihe ị ga-enweta bụ agbụ igwe.
14 For the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: I have put a yoke of iron on the necks of all these nations, making them servants to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon; and they are to be his servants: and in addition I have given him the beasts of the field.
Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ Chineke Izrel, kwuru. Aga m anyanye mba ndị a niile agbụ igwe, i mee ka ha fee Nebukadneza eze Babilọn. Ha ga-efekwa ya. Aga m enyekwa ya ike ọ bụladị nʼebe ụmụ anụ ọhịa dị.’”
15 Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, Give ear, now, Hananiah; the Lord has not sent you; but you are making this people put their faith in what is false.
Mgbe ahụ, Jeremaya onye amụma sịrị Hananaya onye amụma, “Gee ntị, Hananaya! Ọ bụghị Onyenwe anyị zitere gị, ma ị ghọgbuola mba a mee ka ha tụkwasị uche nʼokwu ụgha.
16 For this reason the Lord has said, See, I will send you away from off the face of the earth: this year death will overtake you, because you have said words against the Lord.
Nʼihi nke a, otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, ‘Ekpebiela m isite nʼụwa wepụ gị. Ị ga-anwụ nʼafọ a, nʼihi na i kwusaala nnupu isi megide Onyenwe anyị.’”
17 So death came to Hananiah the prophet the same year, in the seventh month.
Nʼọnwa asaa nke afọ ahụ Hananaya onye amụma nwụrụ.
