Jeremiah 28

1 And it came to pass in 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 Azur the prophet, who was of Gibeon, spoke to me in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he taʻu pe ko ia, ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻoe pule ʻa Setikia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻi hono fā ʻoe taʻu, pea ʻi hono nima māhina, ko Hanania ko e foha ʻo ʻAsuli ko e palōfita, ʻaia naʻe ʻi Kipione, naʻe lea kiate au ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē, ʻo pehē,

2 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: “I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.

Naʻe pehē mai ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, “Kuo u maumauʻi ʻae haʻamonga ʻae tuʻi ʻo Papilone.

3 Within two full years will I bring again to this place all the vessels of the house of Jehovah, which Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon took from this place, and carried to Babylon.

‌ʻI he teʻeki ai ʻosi ʻae taʻu ʻe ua te u toe ʻomi ki he potu ni ʻae ngaahi ipu kotoa pē ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova, ʻaia naʻe fetuku ʻe Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone mei he potu ni, pea ʻave ia ki Papilone:

4 And Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and all the captives of Judah that went to Babylon, will I bring again to this place, saith Jehovah; for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.”

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, Pea te u toe ʻomi ki he potu ni ʻa Sekonia, ko e foha ʻo Sihoiakimi ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, mo e kau pōpula kotoa pē ʻo Siuta, ʻaia naʻe ʻalu ki Papilone; he te u maumauʻi ʻae haʻamonga ʻae tuʻi ʻo Papilone.”

5 Then Jeremiah the prophet spake to Hananiah the prophet, in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people that stood in the house of Jehovah.

Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe he palōfita ko Selemaia, ki he palōfita ko Hanania, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki, pea ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai kotoa pē naʻe tutuʻu ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova,

6 And Jeremiah the prophet said, Amen! So may Jehovah do! May Jehovah fulfill thy words which thou hast prophesied, and bring back the vessels of the house of Jehovah, and all the captives from Babylon to this place!

‌ʻIo, naʻe pehē ʻe he palōfita ko Selemaia, “ʻEmeni: ke fai pehē ʻe Sihova: ke fakamoʻoni ʻe Sihova ki he ngaahi lea kuo ke kikite ʻaki, ke toe ʻomi ʻae ngaahi ipu ki he fale ʻo Sihova, pea mo e kau pōpula kotoa pē, mei Papilone ki he potu ni.

7 Nevertheless, hear now this word, which I speak in thine ears, and in the ears of all the people.

Ka te ke fanongo eni ki he lea ni te u lea ʻaki ʻi ho telinga, pea ki he telinga ʻoe kakai kotoa pē;

8 The prophets who have been before me and before thee from ancient times have also prophesied against many nations, and against great kingdoms, of war, of calamity, and of pestilence.

Ko e kau palōfita naʻe muʻomuʻa ʻiate au pea naʻe muʻa ʻiate koe ʻi muʻa, naʻa nau kikite foki ki he ngaahi kakai lahi, pea ki he ngaahi puleʻanga lahi, ki he tau, mo e kovi, pea mo e mahaki fakaʻauha.

9 The prophet who prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall he be known as a prophet whom Jehovah hath truly sent.

Ko e palōfita ʻoku kikite ki he melino, ʻoka fakamoʻoni ʻo hoko ʻae lea ʻae palōfita, ʻe toki ʻilo ai ʻae palōfita, ʻaia naʻe fekau moʻoni ʻe Sihova.”

10 Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from the prophet Jeremiah's neck, and broke it.

Pea naʻe toki toʻo ʻe Hanania ko e palōfita ʻae haʻamonga mei he kia ʻoe palōfita ko Selemaia, pea maumauʻi ia.

11 And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith Jehovah: In this manner will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, from the neck of all the nations, within the space of two full years. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way.

Pea lea ʻa Hanania ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Sihova; ʻE pehē ʻeku maumauʻi ʻae haʻamonga ʻo Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone mei he kia ʻoe kakai kotoa pē ʻi he teʻeki ai ʻosi kotoa ʻae taʻu ʻe ua.” Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae palōfita ko Selemaia.

12 Then came the word of Jehovah to Jeremiah, after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying:

Pea hili hono maumauʻi ʻe he palōfita ko Hanania ʻae haʻamonga mei he kia ʻoe palōfita ko Selemaia, naʻe toki hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ki he palōfita ko Selemaia, ʻo pehē,

13 Go and tell Hananiah, saying: Thou hast broken a yoke of wood, but thou shalt make instead of it a yoke of iron.

“ʻAlu ʻo tala kia Hanania, ʻo pehē, ʻOku pehē mai ʻa Sihova; Kuo ke maumauʻi ʻae ngaahi haʻamonga ʻakau; ka te ke ngaohi maʻanautolu ʻae ngaahi haʻamonga ukamea.

14 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: A yoke of iron do I put upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon; and they shall serve him. The beasts of the field also do I give to him.

He ʻoku pehē mai ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; kuo u ʻai ʻae haʻamonga ukamea ki he kia ʻoe kakai kotoa pē, koeʻuhi ke nau tauhi kia Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone; pea te nau tauhi kiate ia: pea kuo u foaki foki kiate ia ʻae ngaahi manu ʻoe ngoue.”

15 Jeremiah the prophet said also to Hananiah the prophet: Hear now, Hananiah! Jehovah hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie.

Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe he palōfita ko Selemaia ki he palōfita ko Hanania, “Fanongo mai, Hanania; naʻe ʻikai fekau koe ʻe Sihova; ka kuo ke ngaohi ʻae kakai ni ke nau falala ki he loi.

16 Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will cast thee off from the face of the earth. This year thou shalt die; for thou hast spoken rebellion against Jehovah.

Ko ia ʻoku pehē mai ʻa Sihova; Vakai, te u lī koe mei he funga ʻoe fonua: te ke mate ʻi he taʻu ni, koeʻuhi kuo ke ako ʻaki ʻae angatuʻu kia Sihova.”

17 And Hananiah the prophet died in the same year, in the seventh month.

Pea naʻe mate ʻa Hanania ko e palōfita ʻi he taʻu ko ia ʻi hono fitu māhina.
