Jeremiah 28
1 And it came to pass in that year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year in the fifth month, that Hananiah son of Azzur the prophet who was of Gibeon, spake unto me, in the house of Yahweh, before the eyes of the priests and 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 speaketh Yahweh of hosts, 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 the space of two years, I am bringing back into this place, all the vessels of the house of Yahweh, —which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, hath taken away from this place, and carried into 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 Jeconiah also, son of Jehoiakim king of Judah with all the captives of Judah who have entered Babylon, am I bringing back into this place Declareth Yahweh, —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 said Jeremiah the prophet, unto Hananiah the prophet, in the presence of the priests and in the presence of all the people, who were standing in the house of Yahweh,
Kwa hiyo Yeremia nabii akasema kwa Hanania nabii mbele ya makuhani na kwa watu wote waliosimama katika nyumba ya Yahwe.
6 then said Jeremiah the prophet, —Amen! So, may Yahweh do! Yahweh establish thy words which thou hast prophesied by bringing back the vessels of the house of Yahweh and all them of the captivity, from Babylon unto 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 thou I pray thee, this word, which I am speaking in thine 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 were before me and before thee, from age-past times when they prophesied against many lands and concerning great kingdoms, of war and of calamity 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 prophesied of peace when the word of the prophet was fulfilled, then was known the prophet, whom Yahweh had sent in truth.
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 yoke from off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, —and brake it.
Lakini Hanania nabii akaichukua nira kutoka kwenye shingo ya Yeremia na kuivunja.
11 And Hananiah spake before the eyes of all the people saying, Thus, saith Yahweh, —In like manner, will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, within the space of two years, from off the neck of all the nations, And Jeremiah the prophet 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 came the word of Yahweh unto Jeremiah after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, saying:
Baada ya Hanania nabii kuivunja nira kutoka kwenye shingo ya Yeremia nabii, neno la Yahwe likamjia Yeremia. likisema,
13 Go and speak unto Hananiah saying—Thus, saith Yahweh, Yokes of wood, thou hast broken, —But thou shalt make, in their stead yokes 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, saith Yahweh of hosts God of Israel, —A yoke of iron, have I put upon the neck of all these nations to serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and they shall serve him, Moreover also the wild beast of the field, have I given to him.
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 said Jeremiah the prophet unto Hananiah the prophet, —Hear I pray thee, Hananiah: Yahweh hath not sent thee, Thou, therefore hast caused this people to trust in falsehood!
Kisha nabii Yeremia akamwambia Hanania nabii, “Sikiliza Hanania! Yahwe hajakutuma, bali wewe mwenyewe umewasababisha watu hawa kuamini katika uongo.
16 Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh, Behold me! driving thee away from off the face of the ground, —This year, art thou to die, Because revolt, hast thou spoken against Yahweh.
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.
