< Jeremiah 28 >

1 And it comes to pass, in that year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, Hananiah son of Azur the prophet, who [is] of Gibeon, has spoken to me in the house of YHWH, before the eyes of the priests, and all the people, saying,
Mweri-inĩ wa gatano mwaka-inĩ ũcio, nĩguo mwaka wa kana, o kĩambĩrĩria-inĩ kĩa ũthamaki wa Zedekia mũthamaki wa Juda, mũnabii wetagwo Hanania mũrũ wa Azuri, ũrĩa woimĩte Gibeoni, nĩanjĩĩrire atĩrĩ, tũrĩ o kũu nyũmba ya Jehova mbere ya athĩnjĩri-Ngai na andũ arĩa angĩ othe:
2 “Thus spoke YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon;
“Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Nĩnyunangĩte icooki rĩa mũthamaki wa Babuloni.
3 within two years of days I am bringing back to this place all the vessels of the house of YHWH that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has taken from this place, and carries to Babylon,
Mĩaka ĩĩrĩ ĩtanathira, nĩngũcookithia indo cia nyũmba ya Jehova gũkũ, iria Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni aarutire gũkũ agĩcitwara Babuloni.
4 and Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and all the expulsion of Judah, who are entering Babylon, I am bringing back to this place—a declaration of YHWH; for I break the yoke of the king of Babylon.”
Ningĩ Jekonia mũrũ wa Jehoiakimu mũthamaki wa Juda, nĩngamũcookia marĩ hamwe na andũ othe arĩa maatahĩtwo kuuma Juda magĩtwarwo Babuloni, nĩ ũndũ nĩnyunangĩte icooki rĩa mũthamaki wa Babuloni,’” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
5 And Jeremiah the prophet says to Hananiah the prophet, before the eyes of the priests, and before the eyes of all the people who are standing in the house of YHWH,
Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũnabii Jeremia agĩcookeria mũnabii Hanania ũhoro arĩ hau mbere ya athĩnjĩri-Ngai hamwe na andũ arĩa angĩ othe marũgamĩte kũu nyũmba ya Jehova.
6 indeed, Jeremiah the prophet says, “Amen! So may YHWH do; YHWH establish your words that you have prophesied, to bring back the vessels of the house of YHWH and all the expulsion from Babylon, to this place.
Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Kũrotuĩka guo! Jehova aroeka o ũguo! Jehova arohingia ũhoro ũcio waratha na ũndũ wa gũcookithia indo icio cia nyũmba ya Jehova, o na andũ othe arĩa maatahirwo gũkũ amacookie kuuma Babuloni.
7 Only, please hear this word that I am speaking in your ears, and in the ears of all the people.
No rĩrĩ, ta thikĩrĩria ũigue ũhoro ũrĩa ngwaria ũkĩĩiguagĩra na matũ, o nao andũ aya othe makĩiguaga:
8 The prophets who have been before me, and before you, from of old, even they prophesy concerning many lands, and concerning great kingdoms, of battle, and of calamity, and of pestilence.
Kuuma o mahinda ma tene, anabii arĩa maarĩ mbere yaku o na yakwa-rĩ, maatũũrĩte marathaga ũhoro wa mbaara, na mwanangĩko, na mũthiro, gũũkĩrĩra mabũrũri maingĩ o na mothamaki marĩ hinya.
9 The prophet who prophesies of peace, by the word of the prophet coming to pass, the prophet is known [as] one whom YHWH has truly sent.”
No rĩrĩ, mũnabii ũrĩa ũrathagĩra andũ ũhoro wa thayũ akaamenyeka wega atĩ ti-itherũ nĩ Jehova wamũtũmĩte o rĩrĩa ũrathi wake ũkaahinga.”
10 And Hananiah the prophet takes the yoke from off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, and breaks it,
Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũnabii Hanania akĩruta icooki ngingo-inĩ ya Jeremia na akĩriunanga,
11 and Hananiah speaks before the eyes of all the people, saying, “Thus said YHWH: Thus I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, within two years of days, from off the neck of all the nations”; and Jeremiah the prophet goes on his way.
agĩcooka akiuga andũ acio othe marĩ ho atĩrĩ, “Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Ũguo noguo ngoinanga icooki rĩa Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni, rĩehere ngingo-inĩ cia ndũrĩrĩ ciothe mĩaka ĩĩrĩ ĩtanathira.’” Mũnabii Jeremia aigua ũguo agĩĩthiĩra.
12 And there is a word of YHWH to Jeremiah after the breaking, by Hananiah the prophet, of the yoke from off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
Kahinda kanini thuutha wa mũnabii Hanania kuunanga icooki rĩu rĩarĩ ngingo-inĩ ya Jeremia ũcio mũnabii, ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩyakinyĩire Jeremia akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
13 “Go, and you have spoken to Hananiah, saying, Thus said YHWH: You have broken yokes of wood, and I have made yokes of iron instead of them.
“Thiĩ wĩre Hanania atĩrĩ, ‘Ũũ nĩguo Jehova ekuuga: Wee uunangĩte icooki rĩa mũtĩ, no rĩrĩ, handũ harĩo ũgeekĩrwo icooki rĩa kĩgera.
14 For thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations to serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and they have served him, and I have also given the beast of the field to him.”
Ũũ nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga: Nĩngekĩra ndũrĩrĩ icio ciothe icooki rĩa kĩgera ngingo, nĩgeetha ndũme itungatĩre Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni, na nĩikamũtungatĩra. O na nĩngamũhe wathani aathage nyamũ cia gĩthaka.’”
15 And Jeremiah the prophet says to Hananiah the prophet, “Now hear, O Hananiah; YHWH has not sent you, and you have caused this people to trust on falsehood.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũnabii Jeremia akĩĩra Hanania ũcio mũnabii atĩrĩ, “Hanania, ta thikĩrĩria! Jehova ndagũtũmĩte, no wee-rĩ, nĩũringĩrĩirie rũrĩrĩ rũrũ rwĩhoke ũhoro wa maheeni.
16 Therefore, thus said YHWH: Behold, I am casting you from off the face of the ground; you die this year, for you have spoken apostasy concerning YHWH.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Ndĩ hakuhĩ gũkweheria thĩ. Mwaka-inĩ o ro ũyũ nĩũgũkua, tondũ nĩũhunjĩtie ũremi wa gũũkĩrĩra Jehova.’”
17 And Hananiah the prophet dies in that year, in the seventh month.
Mweri-inĩ wa mũgwanja wa mwaka o ro ũcio-rĩ, Hanania ũcio mũnabii agĩkua.
