Jeremiah 28
1 And that same yeere in the beginning of the reigne of Zedekiah King of Iudah in the fourth yeere, and in the fifth moneth Hananiah the sonne of Azur the prophet, which was of Gibeon, spake to mee in the House of the Lord in the presence of the Priestes, and of all the people, and said,
Katika mwezi wa tano wa mwaka ule ule, yaani mwaka wa nne, mwanzoni mwa utawala wa Sedekia mfalme wa Yuda, nabii Hanania mwana wa Azuri, ambaye alitoka Gibeoni, akaniambia katika nyumba ya Bwana mbele ya makuhani na watu wote:
2 Thus speaketh the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, saying, I haue broken the yoke of the King of Babel.
“Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote, Mungu wa Israeli asemalo: ‘Nitaivunja nira ya mfalme wa Babeli.
3 Within two yeeres space I will bring into this place all the vessels of the Lords House, that Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel tooke away from this place, and caried them into Babel.
Katika muda wa miaka miwili nitavirudisha mahali hapa vyombo vyote vya nyumba ya Bwana ambavyo Nebukadneza mfalme wa Babeli aliviondoa kutoka hapa na kuvipeleka Babeli.
4 And I will bring againe to this place Ieconiah the sonne of Iehoiakim King of Iudah, with all them that were caried away captiue of Iudah, and went into Babel, saith the Lord: for I will breake the yoke of the King of Babel.
Pia nitamrudisha mahali hapa Yekonia mwana wa Yehoyakimu mfalme wa Yuda, pamoja na wote waliohamishwa kutoka Yuda ambao walikwenda Babeli,’ asema Bwana, ‘kwa kuwa nitaivunja nira ya mfalme wa Babeli.’”
5 Then the Prophet Ieremiah saide vnto the Prophet Hananiah in the presence of ye Priests, and in the presence of all the people that stoode in the House of the Lord.
Ndipo nabii Yeremia akamjibu nabii Hanania mbele ya makuhani na watu wote waliokuwa wamesimama ndani ya nyumba ya Bwana.
6 Euen the Prophet Ieremiah sayde, So bee it: the Lord so doe, the Lord confirme thy words which thou hast prophecied to restore the vessels of the Lordes House, and al that is caried captiue, from Babel, into this place.
Akasema, “Amen! Bwana na afanye hivyo! Bwana na ayatimize maneno uliyotoa unabii kwa kuvirudisha mahali hapa kutoka Babeli vyombo vya nyumba ya Bwana pamoja na wote waliohamishwa.
7 But heare thou now this worde that I will speake in thine eares and in the eares of all the people.
Hata hivyo, nisikilize nikuambie yale nitakayoyasema masikioni mwako na masikioni mwa watu hawa wote:
8 The Prophets that haue beene before mee and before thee in time past, prophecied against many countreyes, and against great kingdomes, of warre, and of plagues, and of pestilence.
Tangu mwanzo, manabii waliokutangulia wewe na mimi walitabiri vita, maafa na tauni dhidi ya nchi nyingi na falme kubwa.
9 And the Prophet which prophecieth of peace, when the word of the Prophet shall come to passe, then shall the Prophet be knowen that the Lord hath truely sent him.
Lakini nabii atakayetabiri amani atatambuliwa kuwa kweli ametumwa na Bwana ikiwa unabii wake utatimia.”
10 Then Hananiah the Prophet tooke the yoke from the Prophet Ieremiahs necke, and brake it.
Kisha nabii Hanania akaiondoa nira iliyokuwa shingoni mwa Yeremia na kuivunja,
11 And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith the Lord, Euen so will I breake the yoke of Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel, from the necke of al nations within the space of two yeres: and the Prophet Ieremiah went his way.
naye akasema mbele ya watu wote, “Hili ndilo asemalo Bwana: ‘Vivi hivi ndivyo nitakavyoivunja nira ya Nebukadneza mfalme wa Babeli kutoka kwenye shingo za mataifa katika muda huu wa miaka miwili.’” Alipofanya hivi, nabii Yeremia akaondoka zake.
12 Then the word of the Lord came vnto Ieremiah the Prophet, (after that Hananiah the Prophet had broken the yoke from the necke of the Prophet Ieremiah) saying,
Kitambo kidogo baada ya nabii Hanania kuivunja nira kutoka shingo ya nabii Yeremia, neno la Bwana likamjia Yeremia:
13 Go, and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus sayth the Lord, Thou hast broken the yokes of wood, but thou shalt make for them yokes of yron.
“Nenda ukamwambie Hanania, ‘Hili ndilo asemalo Bwana: Umevunja nira ya mti, lakini badala yake utapata nira ya chuma.
14 For thus saith the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, I haue put a yoke of yron vpon the necke of all these nations, that they may serue Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel: for they shall serue him, and I haue giuen him the beasts of the fielde also.
Hili ndilo asemalo Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote, Mungu wa Israeli: Nitaweka nira ya chuma kwenye shingo za mataifa haya yote ili kufanya yamtumikie Nebukadneza mfalme wa Babeli, nao watamtumikia. Nitampa kutawala hata wanyama wa mwituni.’”
15 Then sayd the Prophet Ieremiah vnto the Prophet Hananiah, Heare nowe Hananiah, the Lord hath not sent thee, but thou makest this people to trust in a lye.
Kisha nabii Yeremia akamwambia nabii Hanania, “Sikiliza Hanania! Bwana hajakutuma, lakini wewe umelishawishi taifa hili kuamini uongo.
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord, Beholde, I will cast thee from of the earth: this yeere thou shalt die, because thou hast spoken rebelliously against the Lord.
Kwa hiyo, hili ndilo asemalo Bwana: ‘Hivi karibuni nitakuondoa kutoka juu ya uso wa dunia. Mwaka huu utakufa, kwa sababu umetangaza uasi dhidi ya Bwana.’”
17 So Hananiah the Prophet died the same yeere in the seuenth moneth.
Katika mwezi wa saba wa mwaka ule ule, nabii Hanania akafa.
