Yeremia 28

1 Eva eme le ɣleti atɔ̃lia me le ƒe ma ke me, esi nye ƒe enelia le Yuda fia Zedekia ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe gɔmedzedzea me be Nyagblɔɖila Hananiya, Azur ƒe vi si tso Gibeon gblɔ nam le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me le nunɔlawo kple ameha la katã ŋkume be,

And it came to pass in that year, in the beginning of the reign of Sedecias king of Juda, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, that Hananias the son of Azur, a prophet of Gabaon spoke to me, in the house of the Lord before the priests, and all the people, saying:

2 “Ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye esi: ‘Mele Babilonia fia ƒe kɔkuti la ŋe ge.

Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.

3 Le ƒe eve megbe la, matrɔ nu siwo Babilonia fia, Nebukadnezar lɔ le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me tsɔ yi Babilonia la vɛ.

As yet two years of days, and I will cause all the vessels of the house of the Lord to be brought back into this place, which Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried them to Babylon.

4 Makplɔ Yuda fia Yehoyatsin, Yehoyakim ƒe vi agbɔ va teƒe sia, hekpe ɖe Yudatɔ siwo katã woɖe aboyoe yi ɖe Babilonia la ŋuti, elabena maŋe Babilonia fia ƒe kɔkuti.’” Yehowae gblɔe.

And I will bring back to this place Jechonias the son of Joakim king of Juda, and all the captives of Juda, that are gone to Babylon, saith the Lord: for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.

5 Tete Nyagblɔɖila Yeremia ɖo nya la ŋu na Nyagblɔɖila Hananiya le nunɔlaawo kple ame siwo katã nɔ tsitre ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me.

And Jeremias the prophet said to Hananias the prophet in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people that stood in the house of the Lord:

6 Egblɔ be, “Amen! Yehowa nena wòava eme nenema! Yehowa nena wò nyagblɔɖi la nava eme be woagbugbɔ nu siwo katã wolɔ le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me kple aboyome siwo wokplɔ yi Babilonia la natrɔ gbɔ.

And Jeremias the prophet said: Amen, the Lord do so: the Lord perform thy words, which thou hast prophesied: that the vessels may be brought again into the house of the Lord, and all the captives may return out of Babylon to this place.

7 Ke hã la, ɖo to nàse nya siwo ku ge mala ɖe to me na wò kple ame siwo le teƒe sia.

Nevertheless hear this word that I speak in thy ears, and in the ears of all the people:

8 Tsã la, nyagblɔɖila siwo do ŋgɔ na nye kple wò la gblɔ aʋawɔwɔ, gbegblẽ kple dɔvɔ̃ ƒe nyawo ɖi ɖe dukɔ geɖewo kple fiaɖuƒe geɖewo ŋuti.

The prophets that have been before me, and before thee from the beginning, and have prophesied concerning many countries, and concerning great kingdoms, of war, and of affliction, and of famine.

9 Gake nyagblɔɖila si gblɔ ŋutifafanya aɖe, eye eƒe nyagblɔɖi la va eme la koe wobuna be enye ame si Yehowa dɔ vavã.”

The prophet that prophesied peace when his word shall come to pass, the prophet shall be known, whom the Lord hath sent in truth.

10 Kasia Nyagblɔɖila Hananiya ɖe kɔkuti la le kɔ na Nyagblɔɖila Yeremia eye wòŋee.

And Hananias the prophet took the chain from the neck of Jeremias the prophet, and broke it.

11 Egblɔ le ameawo ƒe ŋkume be, “Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: ‘Aleae maŋe Babilonia fia Nebukadnezar ƒe kɔkuti le kɔe na dukɔwo katã le ƒe eve me.’” Le esia megbe la, Nyagblɔɖila Yeremia lé eƒe mɔ hedzo.

And Hananias spoke in the presence of all the people, saying: Thus saith the Lord: Even so will I break the yoke of Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon after two full years from off the neck of all the nations.

12 Le ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe megbe, esi Nyagblɔɖila Hananiya ŋe kɔkuti le kɔ na Nyagblɔɖila Yeremia megbe la, Yehowa ƒe nya va na Yeremia be,

And Jeremias the prophet went his way. And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, after that Hananias the prophet had broken the chain from off the neck of Jeremias the prophet, saying:

13 “Yi nàgblɔ na Hananiya be ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: ‘Èŋe atikɔkuti, gake le eteƒe la, woatsɔ gakɔkuti ana wo.

Go, and tell Hananias: Thus saith the Lord: Thou hast broken chains of wood, and thou shalt make for them chains of iron.

14 Ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔ ƒe Aƒetɔ, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye esi: “Matsɔ gakɔkuti aku kɔ na dukɔwo katã be woasubɔ Babilonia fia Nebukadnezar eye woazu subɔlawo nɛ. Mana ŋusẽe ɖe lã wɔadãwo gɔ̃ hã dzi.”’”

For thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all these nations, to serve Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and they shall serve him: moreover also I have given him the beasts of the earth.

15 Tete Nyagblɔɖila Yeremia gblɔ na Hananiya nyagblɔɖila la be, “Ɖo to afii, Hananiya! Yehowa medɔ wò o, evɔ nèƒoe ɖe dukɔ sia nu be wòaxɔ aʋatsonyawo dzi ase.

And Jeremias the prophet said to Hananias the prophet: Hear now, Hananias: the Lord hath not sent thee, and thou hast made this people to trust in a lie.

16 Eya ta ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: ‘Mele ɖe wò ge ɖa le anyigba dzi. Àku le ƒe sia me, elabena ègblɔ aglãdzedze ɖe Yehowa ŋu ƒe nya.’”

Therefore thus saith the Lord: Behold I will send thee away from off the face of the earth: this year shalt thou die: for thou hast spoken against the Lord.

17 Le ɣleti adrelia me le ƒe ma me la, Nyagblɔɖila Hananiya ku.

And Hananias the prophet died in that year, in the seventh month.
