Jeremiah 28
1 And it cometh to pass, in that year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, spoken unto me hath Hananiah son of Azur the prophet, who [is] of Gibeon, in the house of Jehovah, before the eyes of the priests, and all the people, saying,
Ɔsram a ɛto so anum wɔ afe koro a ɛyɛ Yudahene Sedekia adedi mfiase, afe a ɛto so anan no mu, odiyifo Hanania a ɔyɛ Asur a ofi Gibeon babarima no ka kyerɛɛ me wɔ Awurade fi bere a na asɔfo ne nnipa no nyinaa ahyia no se,
2 'Thus spake Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon;
“Sɛɛ na Asafo Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn se: ‘Mebubu Babiloniahene konnua no.
3 Within two years of days I am bringing back unto this place all the vessels of the house of Jehovah that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon hath taken from this place, and doth carry to Babylon,
Mfe abien mu no, mede Awurade fi mu nneɛma a Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar bɛfa fii ha kɔɔ Babilonia no nyinaa bɛsan aba.
4 And Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and all the removed of Judah, who are entering Babylon, I am bringing back unto this place — an affirmation of Jehovah; for I do break the yoke of the king of Babylon.'
Na mɛsan de Yehoiakyin a ɔyɛ Yudahene Yehoiakim babarima ne Yuda nnommum a wɔkɔɔ Babilonia no nyinaa aba’ sɛɛ na Awurade se, ‘na mebubu Babiloniahene konnua no.’”
5 And Jeremiah the prophet saith unto Hananiah the prophet, before the eyes of the priests, and before the eyes of all the people who are standing in the house of Jehovah,
Na odiyifo Yeremia buaa odiyifo Hanania wɔ asɔfo ne nnipa a na wogyinagyina Awurade fi no nyinaa anim.
6 Yea, Jeremiah the prophet saith, 'Amen! so may Jehovah do; Jehovah establish thy words that thou hast prophesied, to bring back the vessels of the house of Jehovah and all the removal from Babylon, unto this place.
Ɔkae se, “Amen! Ma Awurade nyɛ no saa! Ma Awurade mma wo nkɔm a woahyɛ sɛ wɔde Awurade fi nneɛma no nyinaa ne nnommum no befi Babilonia asan aba ha yi no mmra mu.
7 'Only, hear, I pray thee, this word that I am speaking in thine ears, and in the ears of all the people.
Nanso tie asɛm a ɛsɛ sɛ meka ma wote na nnipa no nyinaa nso te:
8 The prophets who have been before me, and before thee, from of old, even they prophesy concerning many lands, and concerning great kingdoms, of battle, and of evil, and of pestilence.
Efi tete no, adiyifo a wodii mʼanim ne wʼanim no hyehyɛɛ ɔko, amanehunu ne ɔyaredɔm ho nkɔm tiaa aman bebree ne ahenni akɛse.
9 The prophet who doth prophesy of peace — by the coming in of the word of the prophet, known is the prophet that Jehovah hath truly sent him.'
Nanso odiyifo a ɔhyɛ asomdwoe ho nkɔm no, sɛ ne nkɔmhyɛ no ba mu a wobegye no ato mu sɛ obi a ampa ara Awurade asoma no.”
10 And Hananiah the prophet taketh the yoke from off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, and breaketh it,
Na odiyifo Hanania yii konnua no fii odiyifo Yeremia kɔn mu, bubuu mu,
11 And Hananiah speaketh before the eyes of all the people, saying, 'Thus said Jehovah, Thus I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, within two years of days, from off the neck of all the nations;' and Jeremiah the prophet goeth on his way.
na ɔkaa wɔ nnipa no nyinaa anim se, “Sɛɛ na Awurade se: ‘Saa ara na mebubu Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar konnua no afi amanaman nyinaa kɔn mu wɔ mfe abien mu.’” Odiyifo Yeremia tee eyi no ofii hɔ kɔe.
12 And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah after the breaking, by Hananiah the prophet, of the yoke from off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
Odiyifo Hanania bubuu konnua no fii odiyifo Yeremia kɔn mu akyi no, Awurade asɛm baa Yeremia nkyɛn se:
13 'Go, and thou hast spoken unto Hananiah, saying, Thus said Jehovah, Yokes of wood thou hast broken, and I have made instead of them yokes of iron;
“Kɔ na kɔka kyerɛ Hanania se, ‘Sɛɛ na Awurade se: Woabubu dua konnua mu, nanso mede dade konnua besi anan mu.
14 For thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, A yoke of iron I have put on the neck of all these nations to serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and they have served him, and also the beast of the field I have given to him.'
Na sɛnea Asafo Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn no se ni: Mede dade konnua bɛto amanaman nyinaa kɔn mu, ama wɔn asom Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar, na wɔbɛsom no. Na mpo mɛma no adi wuram mmoa so.’”
15 And Jeremiah the prophet saith unto Hananiah the prophet, 'Hear, I pray thee, O Hananiah; Jehovah hath not sent thee, and thou hast caused this people to trust on falsehood.
Na odiyifo Yeremia ka kyerɛɛ odiyifo Hanania se, “Tie, Hanania! Awurade nsomaa wo, nanso, woama ɔman yi agye atoro ato mu.
16 Therefore thus said Jehovah, Lo, I am casting thee from off the face of the ground; this year thou diest, for apostasy thou hast spoken concerning Jehovah.'
Ɛno nti, sɛ Awurade se ni: ‘Merebeyi wo afi asase so. Afe yi mu ara wubewu, efisɛ woaka atuatew nsɛm atia Awurade.’”
17 And Hananiah the prophet dieth in that year, in the seventh month.
Ɔsram a ɛto so ason wɔ afe no ara mu no, odiyifo Hanania wui.
