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,
Ket napasamak iti dayta a tawen, iti maikalima a bulan ti maika-uppat a tawen a rugrugi ti panagturay ni Zedekias nga ari ti Juda, a ni Hananias a profeta a putot ni Azur a nagtaud iti Gibeon ket nakisao kaniak iti balay ni Yahweh iti sangoanan dagiti papadi ken dagiti amin a tattao. Kinunana,
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].
“Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin a Dios ti Israel: Dinadaelkon ti sangol nga impabaklay ti ari ti Babilonia.
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.
Iti uneg ti dua a tawen, isublikto iti daytoy a disso dagiti amin a banbanag a kukua ti balay ni Yahweh nga innala ni Nebucadnezar nga ari ti Babilonia manipud iti daytoy a disso ket impanna idiay Babilonia.
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.’”
Ket isublikto iti daytoy a lugar ti ari ti Juda a ni Jehoiachin a putot ni Jehoiakim, ken amin dagiti naipanaw iti Juda a kas balud a naipan idiay Babilonia— kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—ta dadaelekto ti sangol ti ari ti Babilonia.”
5 I replied to Hananiah in front of [all] the priests and other people who were standing outside the temple.
Nakisarita ngarud ni Jeremias a profeta kenni Hananias a profeta iti sangoanan dagiti papadi ken dagiti amin a tattao a nakatakder iti sangoanan ti balay ni Yahweh.
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].
Kinuna ni Jeremias a profeta, “Aramiden koma ni Yahweh daytoy! Patalgeden koma ni Yahweh dagiti sasao nga impadtom ken isublina iti daytoy a lugar dagiti banbanag a kukua ti balay ni Yahweh, ken amin dagiti naipan a kas balud idiay Babilonia.
7 But now listen to what I say to you while all these people are listening.
Nupay kasta, dumngegka iti sao nga ibagak kenka ken kadagiti amin a tattao.
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.
Dagiti profeta nga immun-una a nagbiag sakbay kadata, nagipadtoda met maipanggep kadagiti adu a nasion ken maibusor kadagiti nabibileg a pagarian, maipanggep iti gubat, nakaro a panagbisin ken didigra.
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.”
Isu a ti profeta nga agipadpadto nga addanto iti kappia—no pumudno ti saona, ket maammoanto a pudno nga isuna ket profeta nga imbaon ni Yahweh.”
10 Then Hananiah took the yoke off my neck and broke it.
Ngem inikkat ni Hananias a profeta ti sangol nga adda iti tengnged ni Jeremias ket dinadaelna daytoy.
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.
Ket nagsao ni Hananias iti sangoanan dagiti amin a tattao a kinunana, “Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: Iti uneg ti dua a tawen, kastoyto met laeng ti panangdadaelko iti sangol nga impabaklay ni Nebucadnezar nga ari ti Babilonia iti tunggal nasion.” Kalpasanna, pimmanaw ni Jeremias.
12 [Soon] after Hananiah had broken the yoke that was around my neck, Yahweh gave this message to me:
Kalpasan a dinanadel ni Hananias a profeta ti sangol nga inikkatna iti tengnged ni Jeremias, immay ti sao ni Yahweh kenni Jeremias a kunana,
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.
“Mapanmo kasarita ni Hananias ket ibagam, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: Dinadaelmo ti sangol a kayo, ngem mangaramidak iti sangol a landok.'
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.’”
Ta kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin a Dios ti Israel: Nangikabilak iti sangol a landok iti tengnged dagitoy amin a nasion nga agserbi kenni Nebucadnezar nga ari ti Babilonia, ket pagserbianda isuna. Iyawatko met kenkuana dagiti narurungsot nga ayup kadagiti tay-ak tapno iturayanna.”
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.
Kalpasanna, kinuna pay ni Jeremias a profeta kenni Hananias a profeta, “Dumngegka Hananias! Saannaka nga imbaon ni Yahweh, ngem pinamatim dagiti tattao kadagiti inuulbod.
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.’”
Isu a kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: Kitaem, umadanin ti panangpukawko kenka iti daga. Matayka iti daytoy a tawen, agsipud ta inwaragawagmo ti panagsukir kenni Yahweh.”
17 Hananiah died two months later.
Ket natay ni Hananias iti maikapito a bulan iti dayta a tawen.
