Jeremiah 28
1 When Zedekiah had been the King of Judah for more than three years, late in the (summer/hot season), Azzur’s son Hananiah, a prophet from Gibeon [city], spoke to me in the [courtyard of the] temple, while [all] the priests and other people were listening. He said,
I A makahiki no, i ka makamua o ke au ia Zedekia, ke alii o ka Iuda, i ka makahiki aha, i ka malama elima, olelo mai la o Hanania, ke keiki a Azura, ke kaula, i noho ma Gibeona, i mai la ia'u maloko o ka hale o Iehova, imua o ke alo o na kahuna, a me na kauaka a pau,
2 “This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], says: ‘I will cause the king of Babylon to stop ruling/controlling [MET] [all of you].
Penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, i mai la, Ua uhai au i ka auamo o ke alii o Babulona.
3 (Within two years/Before two years have ended), I will cause to be brought bring back to this temple all the valuable things that King Nebuchadnezzar’s [soldiers] took from this temple and took to Babylon.
Maloko o keia mau makahiki alua, e hoihoi mai no wau iloko o keia wahi, i na kiaha a pau o ka hale o Iehova, na mea a Nebukaneza, ke alii o Babulona i lawe, mai keia wahi aku, a lawe hoi i Babulona.
4 And I will also cause King Jehoiachin to be brought back here, and all the [other] people who were captured and taken to Babylon. The king of Babylon has [forced you to do what he wants, like someone] puts a yoke [on the neck of an ox to force it to do what he] wants [MET] it to do. But I will cause that to end. [That will happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.’”
A e lawe hou mai no wau i keia wahi ia Iekonia, i ke keiki a Iehoiakima, ke alii o ka Iuda, a me ka poe pio a pau o ka Iuda, ka poe i hele maloko o Babulona, wahi a Iehova; no ka mea, e uhai au i ka auamo o ke alii o Babulona.
5 I replied to Hananiah in front of [all] the priests and other people who were standing outside the temple.
Alaila, olelo mai la o Ieremia, ke kaula, ia Hanania ke kaula, imua i ke alo o na kahuna, a imua i ke alo o na kanaka a pau e ku ana maloko o ka hale o Iehova,
6 I said, “(Amen/May that happen)! I desire/hope that what you have predicted will happen. I hope/desire that Yahweh will do everything that you have said! I hope/desire that he will cause [men from Babylon] to bring back from Babylon [all] the valuable things that were in this temple, and all the people who were taken [to Babylon].
O Ieremia, ke kaula ka i olelo mai la, Amene; ina e hana mai o Iehova pela; ina e hooko mai o Iehova i kau mau olelo au i wanana'i, e lawe hou mai, mai Babulona mai, a i keia wahi, i na kiaha o ka hale o Iehova, a me na mea a pau i lawe pio ia'ku.
7 But now listen to what I say to you while all these people are listening.
Aka hoi, e hoolohe oe ano i keia olelo a'u e olelo ai iloko o kou mau pepeiao, a iloko o na pepeiao o na kanaka a pau;
8 Many years ago, those who were prophets before you and I [became prophets] spoke messages about many nations and great kingdoms. They predicted/prophesied that wars and disasters and plagues/diseases would occur in those nations.
A o na kaula mamua o'u, a mamua ou no hoi, wanana ku e lakou, i ke kaua, a i ka hewa, a i ka mai ahulau ma na aina he nui, a ma na aupuni nui no hoi.
9 [So now you or] any other prophet who predicts that things will go well [for us must show that your message is correct. Only] if what you predict actually happens will we know that you were truly appointed by Yahweh.”
O ke kaula i wanana i ka maluhia, i ka wa e ko ai ka olelo a ke kaula, alaila, e ikeia ua kaula la, na Iehova io no i hoouna mai ia ia.
10 Then Hananiah took the yoke off my neck and broke it.
Alaila, lawe ae o Hanania ke kaula i ka auamo ma ka a-i o Ieremia, a uhai iho la ia.
11 Then he said this to all the people who were there: “This is what Yahweh says: ‘Just like Hananiah has broken this yoke, within two years I will cause King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon to [stop forcing the people to do what he wants, which has been like] a heavy yoke on all their necks [MET].’” After Hananiah said that, I left the temple area.
A olelo mai la o Hanania imua i ke alo o na kanaka a pau, i mai la, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei; Iwaena o keia mau makahiki elua, pela no wau e uhai ai i ka auamo o Nebukaneza, ke alii o Babulona, mai ka a-i o na kanaka a pau. A hele aku la o Ieremia, ke kaula i kona wahi i hele ai.
12 [Soon] after Hananiah had broken the yoke that was around my neck, Yahweh gave this message to me:
Alaila, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova io Ieremia la, mahope iho o ka uhai ana o Hanania i ka auamo, mai ka a-i o ke kaula, o Ieremia, i mai la,
13 “Go and say this to Hananiah: ‘Yahweh says that you have broken a wooden yoke, but that he will replace it with an iron yoke.
O hele, e hai aku ia Hanania, e i aku, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei; Ua uhai oe i na auamo laau, aka, e hana no oe i na auamo hao ma ko lakou hakahaka.
14 I have forced the people of all these nations to [become slaves of] King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. That is [like] [MET] an iron yoke around their necks. I have put everything, even wild animals, under his control.’”
No ka mea, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela; Ua kau no wau i ka auamo hao ma ka a-i o keia mau aina a pau, i hookauwa lakou na Nebukaneza, ke alii o Babulona, a e malama no hoi ia ia; a ua haawi no hoi au i na holoholona o ke kula nana.
15 Then I [went to] Hananiah and said to him, “Hananiah, listen [to this]: Yahweh has not appointed you; instead, [you have told] lies to the people, and they have believed your lies.
Alaila, olelo mai la ke kaula, o Ieremia, ia Hanania, ke kaula, E hoolohe mai oe, e Hanania; Aole i hoouna mai o Iehova ia oe, aka, ke hoohilinai nei oe i keia poe kanaka i ka wahahee.
16 Therefore, this is what Yahweh says: ‘You will [soon] die. Before the end of this year, you will die, because you have rebelled against Yahweh.’”
Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei; Aia hoi, e kipaku aku no wau ia oe, mai ka honua aku; i keia makahiki e make no oe, no ka mea, ua ao mai no oe i ke kipi aku ia Iehova.
17 Hananiah died two months later.
A make iho la o Hanania, ke kaula, ia makahiki no, i ka hiku o ka malama.
