Jeremaya 28
1 O ruo, nʼọnwa nke ise nke otu afọ ahụ, nke bụ afọ nke anọ, na mmalite ọchịchị Zedekaya eze Juda, Hananaya, nwa Azoa, onye amụma si Gibiọn, gwara m okwu nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị nʼihu ndị nchụaja na ndị mmadụ si m.
And it came to pass the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, [and] in the fifth month, [that] Hananiah the son of Azur the prophet, which [was] of Gibeon, spake unto me in the house of the LORD, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,
2 “Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ Chineke Izrel kwuru, ‘Aga m agbaji agbụ nke eze Babilọn.
Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
3 Tupu afọ abụọ agabiga, aga m esi Babilọn bulata ihe ndị ahụ niile Nebukadneza eze Babilọn si nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị bupụ bulaa Babilọn.
Within two full years will I bring again into this place all the vessels of the LORD’s house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried them to Babylon:
4 Aga m akpọlatakwa Jehoiakin nwa Jehoiakim, na ndị niile ọzọ e si na Juda dọta nʼagha bulaa Babilọn, nʼihi na aga m agbaji agbụ ahụ eze Babilọn nyanyere ha nʼolu.’” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
And I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah, that went into Babylon, saith the LORD: for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.
5 Mgbe ahụ, Jeremaya onye amụma zara Hananaya onye amụma nʼihu ndị nchụaja na ndị mmadụ niile guzo nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị
Then the prophet Jeremiah said unto the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people that stood in the house of the LORD,
6 Jeremaya onye amụma sịrị, “Amen! Ka Onyenwe anyị mezuo okwu amụma a i buru site na ibughachite ngwongwo ụlọ Onyenwe anyị na ịkpọghachite ndị niile e mere ka ha si nʼebe a gaa biri na Babilọn.
Even the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen: the LORD do so: the LORD perform thy words which thou hast prophesied, to bring again the vessels of the LORD’s house, and all that is carried away captive, from Babylon into this place.
7 Ma gee ntị nụrụ ihe m ga-ekwu nʼihu gị na nʼihu ndị a niile guzo nʼebe a.
Nevertheless hear thou now this word that I speak in thine ears, and in the ears of all the people;
8 Site na mgbe ochie, ndị amụma ahụ bu mụ na gị ụzọ ebuola amụma banyere agha na mbibi na ọrịa na-efe efe megide ọtụtụ obodo dị iche iche, na ọtụtụ alaeze dị iche iche.
The prophets that have been before me and before thee of old prophesied both against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence.
9 Ma ihe e ji amata na ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị nʼezie, zitere onye amụma buru amụma kwuo na udo ga-adị, bụ naanị ma ọ bụrụ na amụma ya emezuo.”
The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, [ then] shall the prophet be known, that the LORD hath truly sent him.
10 Mgbe ahụ, Hananaya bụ onye amụma yipụrụ Jeremaya agbụ ahụ o yikwasịrị onwe ya nʼolu gbajie ya.
Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah’s neck, and brake it.
11 Ọ sịrị nʼihu ọha mmadụ ahụ niile, “Nke a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru: ‘Ọ bụ nʼotu aka ahụ ka m ga-agbajipụkwa agbụ ịyagba Nebukadneza, eze Babilọn nyanyere nʼolu mba niile tupu afọ abụọ agabiga.’” Mgbe o kwuru otu a, Jeremaya onye amụma hapụrụ ebe ahụ laa.
And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all nations within the space of two full years. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way.
12 Mgbe Hananaya bụ onye amụma gbajisiri ịyagba ahụ Jeremaya, onye amụma nyanyere onwe ya nʼolu, okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru Jeremaya ntị sị ya,
Then the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah [the prophet], after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
13 “Gaa gwa Hananaya okwu sị ya, ‘Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Ị gbajiela agbụ e ji osisi mee, ma nʼọnọdụ ya ihe ị ga-enweta bụ agbụ igwe.
Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Thou hast broken the yokes of wood; but thou shalt make for them yokes of iron.
14 Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ Chineke Izrel, kwuru. Aga m anyanye mba ndị a niile agbụ igwe, i mee ka ha fee Nebukadneza eze Babilọn. Ha ga-efekwa ya. Aga m enyekwa ya ike ọ bụladị nʼebe ụmụ anụ ọhịa dị.’”
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, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him: and I have given him the beasts of the field also.
15 Mgbe ahụ, Jeremaya onye amụma sịrị Hananaya onye amụma, “Gee ntị, Hananaya! Ọ bụghị Onyenwe anyị zitere gị, ma ị ghọgbuola mba a mee ka ha tụkwasị uche nʼokwu ụgha.
Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; The LORD hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie.
16 Nʼihi nke a, otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, ‘Ekpebiela m isite nʼụwa wepụ gị. Ị ga-anwụ nʼafọ a, nʼihi na i kwusaala nnupu isi megide Onyenwe anyị.’”
Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast taught rebellion against the LORD.
17 Nʼọnwa asaa nke afọ ahụ Hananaya onye amụma nwụrụ.
So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.
