< 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,
Jalqaba bulchiinsa mootummaa Zedeqiyaa mootii Yihuudaatti, jiʼa shanaffaa waggaa sanaatti, waggaa afuraffaatti, Hanaaniyaan raajichi ilmi Azuri, namni Gibeʼoon sun mana Waaqayyoo keessatti, fuula lubootaatii fi uummata hundaa duratti akkana naan jedhe:
2 “Thus spoke YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon;
“Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha; ‘Ani waanjoo mootii Baabilon nan cabsa.
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,
Ani waggaa lama keessatti miʼoota mana Waaqayyoo kanneen Nebukadnezar mootichi Baabilon asii guuree Baabilonitti geesse hunda iddoo kanatti deebisee nan fida.
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.”
Ani amma illee Yehooyaakiin ilma Yehooyaaqiim mooticha Yihuudaa sanaa fi boojiʼamtoota Yihuudaadhaa gara Baabilonitti geeffaman kaan hunda iddoo kanatti deebisee nan fida; ani waanjoo mootii Baabilon nan cabsaatii’ jedha Waaqayyo.”
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,
Ermiyaas raajichi fuuluma lubootaatii fi uummata mana Waaqayyoo keessa dhaabachaa turan hundaa duratti akkana jedhee Hanaaniyaa raajichaaf deebii kenne;
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.
“Ameen! Waaqayyo waan kana haa godhu! Waaqayyo miʼa mana Waaqayyootii fi boojiʼamtoota boojiʼaman hunda Baabilonii iddoo kanatti deebisuudhaan raajii ati dubbatte haa raawwatu.
7 Only, please hear this word that I am speaking in your ears, and in the ears of all the people.
Taʼus waan ani utuu atii fi namoonni kun hundi dhageessanuu dubbadhu kana dhagaʼi:
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.
Raajonni anaa fi siin dura turan bara duriitii jalqabanii akka biyyoota baayʼee fi mootummoota gurguddootti waraanni, badiisnii fi dhaʼichi dhufu raajaniiru.
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.”
Raajiin nagaa raaju garuu yoo raajiin isaa sun fiixaan baʼe qofa akka Waaqayyo biraa ergame beekama.”
10 And Hananiah the prophet takes the yoke from off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, and breaks it,
Ergasii Hanaaniyaan raajichi morma Ermiyaas raajichaa irraa waanjoo fuudhee cabse;
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.
innis fuula nama hundaa duratti akkana jedhe; “Waaqayyo akkana jedha; ‘Ani waggaa lama keessatti waanjoo Nebukadnezar mooticha Baabilon morma saboota hundaa irraa akkanuma nan cabsa.’” Kana irratti Ermiyaas raajichi karaa isaa qabatee qajeele.
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,
Erga Hanaaniyaan raajichi waanjoo morma Ermiyaas raajichaa irraa cabsee booddee dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Ermiyaas dhufe:
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.
“Dhaqiitii akkana jedhii Hanaaniyaatti himi; ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Ati waanjoo mukaa cabsiteerta; garuu qooda isaa waanjoo sibiilaa ni argatta.
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.”
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: Ani akka isaan Nebukadnezar mooticha Baabilon tajaajilan gochuuf morma saboota kana hundaa irra waanjoo sibiilaa nan kaʼaa; isaanis isa ni tajaajilu. Ani bineensa irratti illee ol aantummaa isaaf nan kenna.’”
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.
Ermiyaas raajichis Hanaaniyaa raajichaan akkana jedhe: “Yaa Hanaaniyaa dhagaʼi! Waaqayyo si hin ergine; ati garuu akka sabni kun sobaa abdatu gooteerta.
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.”
Kanaafuu Waaqayyo akkana jedha: ‘Ani lafa irraa sin balleessa; ati waan Waaqayyo irratti fincila lallabdeef baruma kana duuta.’”
17 And Hananiah the prophet dies in that year, in the seventh month.
Hanaaniyaa raajichis wagguma sana keessa jiʼa torbaffaatti duʼe.
