Jeremia 28
1 Mweri-inĩ wa gatano mwaka-inĩ ũcio, nĩguo mwaka wa kana, o kĩambĩrĩria-inĩ kĩa ũthamaki wa Zedekia mũthamaki wa Juda, mũnabii wetagwo Hanania mũrũ wa Azuri, ũrĩa woimĩte Gibeoni, nĩanjĩĩrire atĩrĩ, tũrĩ o kũu nyũmba ya Jehova mbere ya athĩnjĩri-Ngai na andũ arĩa angĩ othe:
And it came about in that year, when Zedekiah first became king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, that Hananiah, the son of Azzur the prophet, who came from Gibeon, said to Jeremiah in the house of the Lord, before the priests and all the people,
2 “Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Nĩnyunangĩte icooki rĩa mũthamaki wa Babuloni.
These are the words of the Lord of armies, the God of Israel: By me the yoke of the king of Babylon has been broken.
3 Mĩaka ĩĩrĩ ĩtanathira, nĩngũcookithia indo cia nyũmba ya Jehova gũkũ, iria Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni aarutire gũkũ agĩcitwara Babuloni.
In the space of two years I will send back into this place all the vessels of the Lord's house which Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, took away from this place to Babylon:
4 Ningĩ Jekonia mũrũ wa Jehoiakimu mũthamaki wa Juda, nĩngamũcookia marĩ hamwe na andũ othe arĩa maatahĩtwo kuuma Juda magĩtwarwo Babuloni, nĩ ũndũ nĩnyunangĩte icooki rĩa mũthamaki wa Babuloni,’” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
And I will let Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, come back to this place, with all the prisoners of Judah who went to Babylon, says the Lord: for I will have the yoke of the king of Babylon broken.
5 Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũnabii Jeremia agĩcookeria mũnabii Hanania ũhoro arĩ hau mbere ya athĩnjĩri-Ngai hamwe na andũ arĩa angĩ othe marũgamĩte kũu nyũmba ya Jehova.
Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah, before the priests and all the people who had come into the house of the Lord,
6 Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Kũrotuĩka guo! Jehova aroeka o ũguo! Jehova arohingia ũhoro ũcio waratha na ũndũ wa gũcookithia indo icio cia nyũmba ya Jehova, o na andũ othe arĩa maatahirwo gũkũ amacookie kuuma Babuloni.
The prophet Jeremiah said, So be it: may the Lord do so: may the Lord give effect to the words which you have said, and let the vessels of the Lord's house, and all the people who have been taken away, come back from Babylon to this place.
7 No rĩrĩ, ta thikĩrĩria ũigue ũhoro ũrĩa ngwaria ũkĩĩiguagĩra na matũ, o nao andũ aya othe makĩiguaga:
But still, give ear to this word which I am saying to you and to all the people:
8 Kuuma o mahinda ma tene, anabii arĩa maarĩ mbere yaku o na yakwa-rĩ, maatũũrĩte marathaga ũhoro wa mbaara, na mwanangĩko, na mũthiro, gũũkĩrĩra mabũrũri maingĩ o na mothamaki marĩ hinya.
The prophets, who were before me and before you, from early times gave word to a number of countries and great kingdoms about war and destruction and disease.
9 No rĩrĩ, mũnabii ũrĩa ũrathagĩra andũ ũhoro wa thayũ akaamenyeka wega atĩ ti-itherũ nĩ Jehova wamũtũmĩte o rĩrĩa ũrathi wake ũkaahinga.”
The prophet whose words are of peace, when his words come true, will be seen to be a prophet whom the Lord has sent.
10 Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũnabii Hanania akĩruta icooki ngingo-inĩ ya Jeremia na akĩriunanga,
Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from the neck of the prophet Jeremiah and it was broken by his hands.
11 agĩcooka akiuga andũ acio othe marĩ ho atĩrĩ, “Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Ũguo noguo ngoinanga icooki rĩa Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni, rĩehere ngingo-inĩ cia ndũrĩrĩ ciothe mĩaka ĩĩrĩ ĩtanathira.’” Mũnabii Jeremia aigua ũguo agĩĩthiĩra.
And before all the people Hananiah said, The Lord has said, Even so will I let the yoke of the king of Babylon be broken off the necks of all the nations in the space of two years. Then the prophet Jeremiah went away.
12 Kahinda kanini thuutha wa mũnabii Hanania kuunanga icooki rĩu rĩarĩ ngingo-inĩ ya Jeremia ũcio mũnabii, ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩyakinyĩire Jeremia akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
Then after the yoke had been broken off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah by Hananiah the prophet, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,
13 “Thiĩ wĩre Hanania atĩrĩ, ‘Ũũ nĩguo Jehova ekuuga: Wee uunangĩte icooki rĩa mũtĩ, no rĩrĩ, handũ harĩo ũgeekĩrwo icooki rĩa kĩgera.
Go and say to Hananiah, This is what the Lord has said: Yokes of wood have been broken by you, but in their place I will make yokes of iron.
14 Ũũ nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga: Nĩngekĩra ndũrĩrĩ icio ciothe icooki rĩa kĩgera ngingo, nĩgeetha ndũme itungatĩre Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni, na nĩikamũtungatĩra. O na nĩngamũhe wathani aathage nyamũ cia gĩthaka.’”
For the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: I have put a yoke of iron on the necks of all these nations, making them servants to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon; and they are to be his servants: and in addition I have given him the beasts of the field.
15 Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũnabii Jeremia akĩĩra Hanania ũcio mũnabii atĩrĩ, “Hanania, ta thikĩrĩria! Jehova ndagũtũmĩte, no wee-rĩ, nĩũringĩrĩirie rũrĩrĩ rũrũ rwĩhoke ũhoro wa maheeni.
Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, Give ear, now, Hananiah; the Lord has not sent you; but you are making this people put their faith in what is false.
16 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Ndĩ hakuhĩ gũkweheria thĩ. Mwaka-inĩ o ro ũyũ nĩũgũkua, tondũ nĩũhunjĩtie ũremi wa gũũkĩrĩra Jehova.’”
For this reason the Lord has said, See, I will send you away from off the face of the earth: this year death will overtake you, because you have said words against the Lord.
17 Mweri-inĩ wa mũgwanja wa mwaka o ro ũcio-rĩ, Hanania ũcio mũnabii agĩkua.
So death came to Hananiah the prophet the same year, in the seventh month.
