Jeremiah 28

1 This is what happened in the beginning of the reign of King Zedekiah of Judah, in the fifth month of that same year, the fourth year. The prophet Hananiah, son of Azzur, who was from Gibeon, told me in the Lord's Temple in front of the priests and all the people:

In yac sacna, in malem aklimekosr ke yac akakosr ma Zedekiah el tokosra lun Judah, mwet palu Hananiah wen natul Azzur mwet Gibeon, el kaskas nu sik in Tempul. Ye mutun mwet tol ac mwet nukewa el fahk

2 “This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.

lah LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, El fahk: “Nga koteya mwe utuk toasr lun tokosra Babylonia.

3 Before two years have passed I'm going to bring back to Jerusalem all the Temple objects that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon removed and took to Babylon.

Inmasrlon yac luo, nga fah folokonma ma saok nukewa lun Tempul ma Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar el tuh usla nu Babylonia.

4 I will also bring back to Jerusalem Jehoiachin, son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, together with all the exiles from Judah who were taken to Babylon, declares the Lord, because I'm going to break the yoke of the king of Babylon.”

Nga fah oayapa folokunulma Tokosra Jehoiachin lun Judah, wen natul Jehoiakim, wi mwet Judah nukewa su tuh mwet sruoh ac som nu Babylonia. Aok, nga ac fah kunausla ku lun Tokosra lun Babylonia. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”

5 Then the prophet Jeremiah responded to the prophet Hananiah in front of the priests and all the people who were standing in the Lord's Temple.

Na ye mutun mwet tol ac mwet nukewa su tu in Tempul uh, nga fahk nu sel Hananiah,

6 “Amen!” said Jeremiah. “I wish the Lord would do just that! I wish the Lord would fulfill your prophetic words and bring back Temple objects and all the exiles back to Jerusalem from Babylon.

“Wona! Nga finsrak mu LEUM GOD Elan oru oana ma kom fahk! Nga kena Elan oru kas in palu lom in pwaye, ac Elan folokunma ma saok nukewa lun Tempul liki Babylonia, wi mwet nukewa su utukla mwet sruoh we.

7 But even so, pay attention to this message I'm going to tell you and everyone here.

Tusruktu, lipsre ma nga ac fahk nu sum ac nu sin mwet uh.

8 The prophets of long ago who came before you and me prophesied war, disaster, and disease against many countries and great kingdoms.

Mwet palu ma tuh kaskas pacl loeloes somla, meet liki pacl luk kom, elos palye mu mweun, sracl, ac mas upa ac fah tuku nu fin mutunfacl puspis ac tokosrai kulana.

9 When it comes to a prophet who prophesies peace, see if their prophecies come true. Only that will prove they are really sent by the Lord.”

Tusruktu sie mwet palu su palye ke misla, ke pacl se na sikyak tuh na pwaye kas in palu lal, na ac ku in akilenyuk mu el mwet palu pwaye se su LEUM GOD El supwama.”

10 Then the prophet Hananiah removed the yoke from the prophet Jeremiah's neck and broke it.

Na Hananiah el eisla mwe utuk sac liki inkwawuk, ac koteya nu ke ip srisrik,

11 Hananiah announced in front of everyone, “This is what the Lord says: Just like this, before two years have passed I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all the nations.” Jeremiah the prophet left.

ac fahk ye mutun mwet nukewa, “In lumah se pacna inge, LEUM GOD El fahk mu El ac koteya mwe utuk ma Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar el tuh filiya inkwawen mutunfacl nukewa! Ac El ac oru ma inge inmasrlon yac luo.” Na nga som.

12 However, right after Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from his neck, a message of the Lord came to Jeremiah:

Kutu pacl tukun ma inge, LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik

13 “Go and tell Hananiah that this is what the Lord says: You may have broken a wooden yoke of wood, but you have replaced it with an iron yoke.

in som ac fahk nu sel Hananiah: “LEUM GOD El fahk mu sahp kom ac ku in koteya sie mwe utuk orekla ke sak, tusruktu El ac aolla ke sie mwe utuk orekla ke osra.

14 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I have tied iron yokes on the necks of all these nations to force them to serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and they will serve him. I have even given him control over the wild animals.”

LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, El fahk mu El ac filiya sie mwe utuk osra fin mutunfacl inge nukewa, ac elos ac fah orekma nu sel Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun Babylonia. LEUM GOD El fahk mu El ac oru tuh finne kosro lemnak, elos ac kulansupwal pac Nebuchadnezzar.”

15 Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah, “Listen to this, Hananiah! The Lord didn't send you, but you have convinced these people to believe in a lie.

Na nga fahkang nu sel Hananiah ma se inge, ac tafwelana ac fahk, “Hananiah, lohng pac! LEUM GOD El tia supwekom, ac kom oru mwet inge lulalfongi sie kas kikiap.

16 So this is what the Lord says: I'm going to get rid of you from the earth. You will die this year because you have promoted rebellion against the Lord.”

Ke ma inge LEUM GOD sifacna El fahk mu El ac siskomla. Meet liki yac se inge safla, kom ac fah misa, mweyen kom fahk mwet uh in tuyak lain LEUM GOD.

17 The prophet Hananiah died in the seventh month of that very year.

Ac Hananiah el misa ke malem akitkosr in yac sacna.
