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:
Ngenyanga yesihlanu yawonalowo umnyaka, umnyaka wesine, ekuqaleni kokubusa kukaZedekhiya inkosi yakoJuda, umphrofethi uHananiya indodana ka-Azuri, owayevela eGibhiyoni, wathi kimi endlini kaThixo phambi kwabaphristi labantu bonke:
2 “Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Nĩnyunangĩte icooki rĩa mũthamaki wa Babuloni.
“UThixo uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi: ‘Ngizalephula ijogwe lenkosi yaseBhabhiloni.
3 Mĩaka ĩĩrĩ ĩtanathira, nĩngũcookithia indo cia nyũmba ya Jehova gũkũ, iria Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni aarutire gũkũ agĩcitwara Babuloni.
Phakathi kweminyaka emibili ngizazibuyisela kule indawo zonke izitsha zendlu kaThixo ezathathwa nguNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni wazisa eBhabhiloni.
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.
Ngizambuyisela kule indawo futhi uJekhoniya indodana kaJehoyakhimi inkosi yakoJuda kanye labanye bonke abathunjwa koJuda baya eBhabhiloni,’ kutsho uThixo, ‘ngoba ngizalephula ijogwe lenkosi yaseBhabhiloni.’”
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.
Umphrofethi uJeremiya waphendula umphrofethi uHananiya phambi kwabaphristi labantu bonke ababemi endlini kaThixo.
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.
Wathi, “Ameni! Sengathi uThixo angamenzenjalo! Sengathi uThixo angagcwalisa amazwi owaphrofethayo ngokubuyisela kule indawo izitsha zendlu kaThixo labo bonke abathunjelwa eBhabhiloni.
7 No rĩrĩ, ta thikĩrĩria ũigue ũhoro ũrĩa ngwaria ũkĩĩiguagĩra na matũ, o nao andũ aya othe makĩiguaga:
Lanxa kunjalo, lalela kulokhu engikutsho lawe usizwa kanye labantu bonke besizwa ukuthi:
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.
Kusukela ezikhathini zakuqala abaphrofethi abandulela wena lami baphrofetha ngempi, ngomonakalo langesifo emazweni amanengi lasemibusweni emikhulu.
9 No rĩrĩ, mũnabii ũrĩa ũrathagĩra andũ ũhoro wa thayũ akaamenyeka wega atĩ ti-itherũ nĩ Jehova wamũtũmĩte o rĩrĩa ũrathi wake ũkaahinga.”
Kodwa umphrofethi ophrofetha ngokuthula uzakwaziwa njengothunywe nguThixo sibili lapho ilizwi lakhe seligcwalisekile.”
10 Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũnabii Hanania akĩruta icooki ngingo-inĩ ya Jeremia na akĩriunanga,
Lapho-ke uHananiya umphrofethi wasusa ijogwe entanyeni kaJeremiya umphrofethi walephula,
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.
wasesithi phambi kwabantu bonke, “UThixo uthi: ‘Ngizalephula kanjalo ijogwe likaNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni entanyeni zezizwe zonke phakathi kweminyaka emibili.’” Ngemva kwalokho umphrofethi uJeremiya wasuka wazihambela.
12 Kahinda kanini thuutha wa mũnabii Hanania kuunanga icooki rĩu rĩarĩ ngingo-inĩ ya Jeremia ũcio mũnabii, ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩyakinyĩire Jeremia akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
Masinyane nje emuva kokuba umphrofethi uHananiya ephule ijogwe entanyeni kaJeremiya umphrofethi, kwafika ilizwi likaThixo kuJeremiya lisithi:
13 “Thiĩ wĩre Hanania atĩrĩ, ‘Ũũ nĩguo Jehova ekuuga: Wee uunangĩte icooki rĩa mũtĩ, no rĩrĩ, handũ harĩo ũgeekĩrwo icooki rĩa kĩgera.
“Hamba uyetshela uHananiya uthi, ‘UThixo uthi: Wephule ijogwe lesigodo, kodwa esikhundleni salo uzakuba lejogwe lensimbi.
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.’”
UThixo uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi: Ngizabeka ijogwe lensimbi entanyeni zezizwe zonke lezi ukuba zisebenzele uNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni, zizamsebenzela. Ngizamnika amandla laphezu kwezinyamazana zeganga.’”
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.
Umphrofethi uJeremiya wasesithi kuHananiya umphrofethi, “Lalela, Hananiya! UThixo kakuthumanga, kodwa usuwenze isizwe lesi sathemba amanga.
16 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Ndĩ hakuhĩ gũkweheria thĩ. Mwaka-inĩ o ro ũyũ nĩũgũkua, tondũ nĩũhunjĩtie ũremi wa gũũkĩrĩra Jehova.’”
Ngakho, uThixo uthi, ‘Sekuseduze ukuthi ngikususe ebusweni bomhlaba. Ngawonalo umnyaka uzakufa, ngoba uphrofithe ukuhlamukela uThixo.’”
17 Mweri-inĩ wa mũgwanja wa mwaka o ro ũcio-rĩ, Hanania ũcio mũnabii agĩkua.
Ngenyanga yesikhombisa yalowomnyaka, uHananiya umphrofethi wafa.
