Jeremiah 28
1 It happened the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, that Hananiah the son of Azzur, the prophet, who was of Gibeon, spoke to me in the house of the LORD, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,
Ilitokea katika mwaka ule, mwanzoni mwa utawala wa Sedekia mfalme wa Yuda, katika mwaka wa nne na mwezi wa tano, Hanania mwana wa Azuri nabii, alikuwa wa Gibeoni, alisema kwangu katika nyumba ya Yahwe mbele za makuhani na watu wote. Alisema,
2 "Thus speaks the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, 'I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
“Yahwe wa majeshi, Mungu wa Israeli, anasema hivi: Nimeivunja nira iliyowekwa na mfalme wa Babeli.
3 Within two full years will I bring again into this place all the vessels of the LORD's house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried to Babylon:
Ndani ya miaka miwili nitavirudisha katika sehemu hii vyombo vyote vya nyumba ya Yahwe ambavyo Nebukadreza mfalme wa Babeli livichukua kutoka sehemu hii na kuvisafirisha hadi Babeli.
4 and I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah, who went to Babylon,' says the LORD; 'for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.'"
Kisha nitawarudisha katika sehemu hii Yekonia mwana wa Yehotakimu, mfalme wa Yuda, na mateka wote wa Yuda ambao walipelekwa Babeli—hili ni tangazo la Yahwe—kwa maana nitaivunja nira ya mfalme wa Babeli.”
5 Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people who stood in the house of the LORD,
Kwa hiyo Yeremia nabii akasema kwa Hanania nabii mbele ya makuhani na kwa watu wote waliosimama katika nyumba ya Yahwe.
6 even the prophet Jeremiah said, "Amen: LORD do so; the LORD perform your words which you have prophesied, to bring back the vessels of the LORD's house, and all them of the captivity, from Babylon to this place.
Yeremia nabii akasema, “Yahwe afanye hivi! Yahwe ayathibitishe maneno ambayao ulitabiri na kuvirudisha katika sehemsu hii vyombo vya nyumb a ya Yahwe, na mateka wote kutoka Babeli.
7 Nevertheless hear you now this word that I speak in your ears, and in the ears of all the people:
Vile vile, sikilizeni neno ambaloo ninalitangaza katika masikio yenu na katika masikio ya watu wote.
8 The prophets who have been before me and before you of old prophesied against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence.
Manabii ambao walikuwepo mbele yangu na na mbele yenu muda mrefu uliopita pia walitabiri kuhusu mataifa mengi na juu ya falme kuu, kuhusu vita, njaa, na mapigo.
9 The prophet who prophesies of peace, when the word of the prophet shall happen, then shall the prophet be known, that the LORD has truly sent him."
Kwa hiyo nabii anayetabiri kwamba kutakuwa na amani—kama neno lake litatimia, basi itajulikana kwamba yeye ni nabii kweli aliyetumwa na Yahwe.”
10 Then Hananiah the prophet took the bar from off the prophet Jeremiah's neck, and broke it.
Lakini Hanania nabii akaichukua nira kutoka kwenye shingo ya Yeremia na kuivunja.
11 Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, "Thus says the LORD: 'Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon within two full years from off the neck of all the nations.'" The prophet Jeremiah went his way.
Kisha Hanania akanena mbele ya watu wote na kusema, “Yahwe anasema hivi: Kama hivi tu, ndani ya miaka miwili nitaivunja nira iliyowekwa na Nebukadreza mfalme wa Babeli kutoka kwenye shingo ya kila taifa.” Kisha Yeremia nabii akaenda njia yake.
12 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the bar from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
Baada ya Hanania nabii kuivunja nira kutoka kwenye shingo ya Yeremia nabii, neno la Yahwe likamjia Yeremia. likisema,
13 "Go, and tell Hananiah, saying, 'Thus says the LORD: You have broken the bars of wood; but you have made in their place bars of iron.
Nenda na ukaseme kwa Hanania na useme, Yahwe anasema hivi: Uliivunja nira ya mbao, lakini badala yake nitafanya nira ya chuma.'
14 For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: "I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him: and I have given him the animals of the field also."'"
Kwa maana Yahwe wa majeshi, Mungu wa Israeli, anasema hivi: Nimeweka nira ya chuma shingoni mwa mataifa haya yote ili wamtumikea Nebukadreza mfalme wa Babeli, na watamtumikia. Pia nimempa wanyama wa mashambani awatawale.”
15 Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, "Hear now, Hananiah: the LORD has not sent you; but you make this people to trust in a lie.
Kisha nabii Yeremia akamwambia Hanania nabii, “Sikiliza Hanania! Yahwe hajakutuma, bali wewe mwenyewe umewasababisha watu hawa kuamini katika uongo.
16 Therefore thus says the LORD, 'Look, I will send you away from off the surface of the earth: this year you shall die, because you have spoken rebellion against the LORD.'"
Kwa hiyo Yahwe anasema hivi: Angalia, niko karibu kukutuma nje ya dunia. Mwaka huu utakufa.”
17 So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.
Katika mwezi wa saba wa mwaka ule ule, Hanania nabii akafa.
