Jeremiah 28

1 That same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, Hananiah the son of Azzur, the prophet, who was of Gibeon, spoke to me in the LORD’s house, 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 “The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says, ‘I have broken 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 I will 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.

‌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 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.’”

‌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 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 LORD’s house,

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 even the prophet Jeremiah said, “Amen! May the LORD do so. May the LORD perform your words which you have prophesied, to bring again the vessels of the LORD’s house, and all those who are 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 listen now to this word that I speak in your 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 you of old prophesied against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, of evil, 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 As for the prophet who prophesies of peace, when the word of the prophet happens, then the prophet will be known, that the LORD has truly sent him.”

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 bar from off 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 Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, “The LORD says: ‘Even so I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from off the neck of all the nations within two full years.’” Then 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 the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah, after Hananiah the prophet had broken the bar from off 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, ‘The LORD says, “You have broken the bars of wood, but you have made in their place bars 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 the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel says, “I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they will serve him. I have also given him the animals of the field.”’”

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 Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, “Listen, Hananiah! The LORD has not sent you, but you make this people 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 the LORD says, ‘Behold, I will send you away from off the surface of the earth. This year you will die, because you have spoken rebellion against the LORD.’”

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 So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.

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