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,
Mu mwezi ogwokutaano ogw’omwaka gwe gumu, gwe mwaka ogwokuna, obufuzi bwa Zeddekiya kabaka wa Yuda nga bw’akatandika, nnabbi Kananiya omwana wa Azuri eyali abeera e Gibyoni n’aŋŋambira mu nnyumba ya Mukama nga bakabona n’abantu bonna we bali nti,
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.
“Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, ‘Nzija kumenya ekikoligo kya kabaka w’e Babulooni.
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:
Emyaka ebiri nga teginnaggwaako, ndikomyawo ebintu by’omu nnyumba ya Mukama mu kifo kino, Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni bye yaggya wano n’abitwala e Babulooni.
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.
Era ndikomyawo wano Yekoyakini mutabani wa Yekoyakimu kabaka wa Yuda n’abantu abalala bonna abaava mu Yuda abaatwalibwa e Babulooni,’ bw’ayogera Mukama, ‘kubanga ndimenya ekikoligo kya kabaka w’e Babulooni.’”
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,
Awo nnabbi Yeremiya n’addamu mu bunnabbi bwa Kananiya nga ne bakabona n’abantu bonna we bali bayimiridde mu nnyumba ya Mukama, n’agamba nti,
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.
“Amiina! Bw’atyo Mukama bw’aba akola! Mukama atuukirize ebigambo by’oyogedde ng’akomyawo ebintu eby’omu nnyumba ya Mukama era n’abawambe bonna abakomyewo mu kifo kino okuva mu Babulooni.
7 But still, give ear to this word which I am saying to you and to all the people:
Wabula, wuliriza kye ŋŋenda okwogera ng’owuliriza n’abantu bano bonna nga bawulira.
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.
Okuva edda n’edda bannabbi abaatusooka, ggwe nange baategeezanga kubaawo kwa ntalo, na bikangabwa na kawumpuli okugwa ku mawanga n’obwakabaka obw’amaanyi.
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.
Naye nnabbi eyategeeza obunnabbi obw’emirembe ajja kulabibwa nga ddala atumiddwa Mukama era ng’obubaka bw’ategeeza butuukiridde.”
10 Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from the neck of the prophet Jeremiah and it was broken by his hands.
Awo nnabbi Kananiya n’alyoka akwata ekikoligo ekyali ku nsingo ya Yeremiya n’akimenya,
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.
n’alyoka ayogera eri abantu bonna nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, ‘Mu ngeri y’emu bw’eti, bwe ndimenya ekikoligo ekya Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni okuva ku mawanga gonna mu myaka ebiri.’” Naye ye nnabbi Yeremiya n’avaawo ne yeetambulira.
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,
Bwe waayitawo ebbanga ttono nga nnabbi Kananiya amenye ekikoligo ku nsingo ya Yeremiya, ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Yeremiya nti,
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.
“Genda ogambe Kananiya nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, Omenye ekikoligo kya muti naye mu kifo kyakyo ojja kufunamu kikoligo kya kyuma.
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.
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, Nditeeka ekikoligo eky’ekyuma mu nsingo z’amawanga gano gonna baweereze Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni era balimuweereza. Ndimuwa obuyinza n’ensolo azifuge.’”
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.
Awo nnabbi Yeremiya n’agamba nnabbi Kananiya nti, “Wuliriza, Kananiya! Mukama tannakutuma naye ggwe owalirizza eggwanga lino okwesiga obulimba.
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.
Noolwekyo kino Mukama kyagamba nti, ‘Ndikumpi okukuggya ku nsi. Omwaka guno gwennyini ogenda kufa, kubanga oyigirizza abantu okujeemera Mukama.’”
17 So death came to Hananiah the prophet the same year, in the seventh month.
Mu mwezi ogw’omusanvu ogw’omwaka gwe gumu, Kananiya n’afa.
