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,
Ɔsram a ɛto so anum wɔ afe koro a ɛyɛ Yudahene Sedekia adedi mfiase, afe a ɛto so anan no mu, odiyifo Hanania a ɔyɛ Asur a ofi Gibeon babarima no ka kyerɛɛ me wɔ Awurade fi bere a na asɔfo ne nnipa no nyinaa ahyia no se,
2 Thus speaketh the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, saying, I haue broken the yoke of the King of Babel.
“Sɛɛ na Asafo Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn se: ‘Mebubu Babiloniahene konnua no.
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.
Mfe abien mu no, mede Awurade fi mu nneɛma a Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar bɛfa fii ha kɔɔ Babilonia no nyinaa bɛsan aba.
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.
Na mɛsan de Yehoiakyin a ɔyɛ Yudahene Yehoiakim babarima ne Yuda nnommum a wɔkɔɔ Babilonia no nyinaa aba’ sɛɛ na Awurade se, ‘na mebubu Babiloniahene konnua no.’”
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.
Na odiyifo Yeremia buaa odiyifo Hanania wɔ asɔfo ne nnipa a na wogyinagyina Awurade fi no nyinaa anim.
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.
Ɔkae se, “Amen! Ma Awurade nyɛ no saa! Ma Awurade mma wo nkɔm a woahyɛ sɛ wɔde Awurade fi nneɛma no nyinaa ne nnommum no befi Babilonia asan aba ha yi no mmra mu.
7 But heare thou now this worde that I will speake in thine eares and in the eares of all the people.
Nanso tie asɛm a ɛsɛ sɛ meka ma wote na nnipa no nyinaa nso te:
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.
Efi tete no, adiyifo a wodii mʼanim ne wʼanim no hyehyɛɛ ɔko, amanehunu ne ɔyaredɔm ho nkɔm tiaa aman bebree ne ahenni akɛse.
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.
Nanso odiyifo a ɔhyɛ asomdwoe ho nkɔm no, sɛ ne nkɔmhyɛ no ba mu a wobegye no ato mu sɛ obi a ampa ara Awurade asoma no.”
10 Then Hananiah the Prophet tooke the yoke from the Prophet Ieremiahs necke, and brake it.
Na odiyifo Hanania yii konnua no fii odiyifo Yeremia kɔn mu, bubuu mu,
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.
na ɔkaa wɔ nnipa no nyinaa anim se, “Sɛɛ na Awurade se: ‘Saa ara na mebubu Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar konnua no afi amanaman nyinaa kɔn mu wɔ mfe abien mu.’” Odiyifo Yeremia tee eyi no ofii hɔ kɔe.
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,
Odiyifo Hanania bubuu konnua no fii odiyifo Yeremia kɔn mu akyi no, Awurade asɛm baa Yeremia nkyɛn se:
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.
“Kɔ na kɔka kyerɛ Hanania se, ‘Sɛɛ na Awurade se: Woabubu dua konnua mu, nanso mede dade konnua besi anan mu.
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.
Na sɛnea Asafo Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn no se ni: Mede dade konnua bɛto amanaman nyinaa kɔn mu, ama wɔn asom Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar, na wɔbɛsom no. Na mpo mɛma no adi wuram mmoa so.’”
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.
Na odiyifo Yeremia ka kyerɛɛ odiyifo Hanania se, “Tie, Hanania! Awurade nsomaa wo, nanso, woama ɔman yi agye atoro ato mu.
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.
Ɛno nti, sɛ Awurade se ni: ‘Merebeyi wo afi asase so. Afe yi mu ara wubewu, efisɛ woaka atuatew nsɛm atia Awurade.’”
17 So Hananiah the Prophet died the same yeere in the seuenth moneth.
Ɔsram a ɛto so ason wɔ afe no ara mu no, odiyifo Hanania wui.
