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 the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah the king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, that there said unto me Chananyah the son of 'Azzur the prophet, who was from Gib'on, in the house of the Lord, before the eyes of the priests, and of all the people, as followeth,

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

Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, 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.

Within yet two years' time will I cause to be brought back unto this place all the vessels of the house of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon hath taken away from this place, and which he hath carried 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 Jechonyah the son of Jehoyakim the king of Judah, and all the exiles of Judah that are gone to Babylon, will I cause to return to this place, 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.

Then said Jeremiah the prophet unto Chananyah the prophet before the eyes of the priests, and before the eyes 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.

Yea, then said Jeremiah the prophet, Amen, may the Lord do so: may the Lord fulfill thy words which thou hast prophesied, to cause the vessels of the Lord's house, and all that have been carried into exile, to be brought back from Babylon unto 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 thou now this word which I speak before thy ears, and before 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 olden times prophesied both concerning many countries, and against great kingdoms, respecting war, and respecting evil, and respecting pestilence.

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 who prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet doth come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, [as the one] whom the Lord hath sent in truth.

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

Then took Chananyah the prophet the yoke-bar from off the neck of Jeremiah 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 Chananyah said before the eyes of all the people, as followeth, Thus hath said the Lord, Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon within two years' time from the neck of all the nations. And Jeremiah the prophet went his way.

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,

Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, after Chananyah the prophet had broken the yoke-bar from off the neck of Jeremiah 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 say unto Chananyah as followeth, Thus hath said the Lord, Yoke-bars of wood hast thou broken; but thou shalt make in their stead yoke-bars 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 hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, A yoke of iron have I placed upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon; and they shall work for him: and also the beasts of the field have I given him.

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.

Then said Jeremiah the prophet unto Chananyah the prophet, Hear now, Chananyah, The Lord did not send thee; but thou hast caused this people to trust on a falsehood.

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 hath said the Lord, Behold, I will send thee away from off the face of the earth: this year shalt thou die, because thou hast spoken rebellion against the Lord.

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

So Chananyah the prophet died in that same year, in the seventh month.
