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 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,

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

'Thus spake Jehovah of Hosts, 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 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,

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 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.'

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 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,

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, 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.

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

'Only, hear, I pray thee, this word that I am speaking in thine 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 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.

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 doth prophesy of peace — by the coming in of the word of the prophet, known is the prophet that Jehovah hath truly sent him.'

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

And Hananiah the prophet taketh the yoke from off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, and breaketh 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 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.

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 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,

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

'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;

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 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.'

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 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.

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 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.'

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

And Hananiah the prophet dieth in that year, in the seventh month.
