Jeremiah 28

1 In yac sacna, in malem aklimekosr ke yac akakosr ma Zedekiah el tokosra lun Judah, mwet palu Hananiah wen natul Azzur mwet Gibeon, el kaskas nu sik in Tempul. Ye mutun mwet tol ac mwet nukewa el fahk

And it came to pass in the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah, king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, that Hananiah, the son of Azur the prophet, who was of Gibeon, spoke to me in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,

2 lah LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, El fahk: “Nga koteya mwe utuk toasr lun tokosra Babylonia.

Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: “I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.

3 Inmasrlon yac luo, nga fah folokonma ma saok nukewa lun Tempul ma Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar el tuh usla nu Babylonia.

Within two full years will I bring again to this place all the vessels of the house of Jehovah, which Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon took from this place, and carried to Babylon.

4 Nga fah oayapa folokunulma Tokosra Jehoiachin lun Judah, wen natul Jehoiakim, wi mwet Judah nukewa su tuh mwet sruoh ac som nu Babylonia. Aok, nga ac fah kunausla ku lun Tokosra lun Babylonia. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”

And Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and all the captives of Judah that went to Babylon, will I bring again to this place, saith Jehovah; for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.”

5 Na ye mutun mwet tol ac mwet nukewa su tu in Tempul uh, nga fahk nu sel Hananiah,

Then Jeremiah the prophet spake to Hananiah the prophet, in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people that stood in the house of Jehovah.

6 “Wona! Nga finsrak mu LEUM GOD Elan oru oana ma kom fahk! Nga kena Elan oru kas in palu lom in pwaye, ac Elan folokunma ma saok nukewa lun Tempul liki Babylonia, wi mwet nukewa su utukla mwet sruoh we.

And Jeremiah the prophet said, Amen! So may Jehovah do! May Jehovah fulfill thy words which thou hast prophesied, and bring back the vessels of the house of Jehovah, and all the captives from Babylon to this place!

7 Tusruktu, lipsre ma nga ac fahk nu sum ac nu sin mwet uh.

Nevertheless, hear now this word, which I speak in thine ears, and in the ears of all the people.

8 Mwet palu ma tuh kaskas pacl loeloes somla, meet liki pacl luk kom, elos palye mu mweun, sracl, ac mas upa ac fah tuku nu fin mutunfacl puspis ac tokosrai kulana.

The prophets who have been before me and before thee from ancient times have also prophesied against many nations, and against great kingdoms, of war, of calamity, and of pestilence.

9 Tusruktu sie mwet palu su palye ke misla, ke pacl se na sikyak tuh na pwaye kas in palu lal, na ac ku in akilenyuk mu el mwet palu pwaye se su LEUM GOD El supwama.”

The prophet who prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall he be known as a prophet whom Jehovah hath truly sent.

10 Na Hananiah el eisla mwe utuk sac liki inkwawuk, ac koteya nu ke ip srisrik,

Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from the prophet Jeremiah's neck, and broke it.

11 ac fahk ye mutun mwet nukewa, “In lumah se pacna inge, LEUM GOD El fahk mu El ac koteya mwe utuk ma Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar el tuh filiya inkwawen mutunfacl nukewa! Ac El ac oru ma inge inmasrlon yac luo.” Na nga som.

And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith Jehovah: In this manner will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, from the neck of all the nations, within the space of two full years. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way.

12 Kutu pacl tukun ma inge, LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik

Then came the word of Jehovah to Jeremiah, after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying:

13 in som ac fahk nu sel Hananiah: “LEUM GOD El fahk mu sahp kom ac ku in koteya sie mwe utuk orekla ke sak, tusruktu El ac aolla ke sie mwe utuk orekla ke osra.

Go and tell Hananiah, saying: Thou hast broken a yoke of wood, but thou shalt make instead of it a yoke of iron.

14 LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, El fahk mu El ac filiya sie mwe utuk osra fin mutunfacl inge nukewa, ac elos ac fah orekma nu sel Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun Babylonia. LEUM GOD El fahk mu El ac oru tuh finne kosro lemnak, elos ac kulansupwal pac Nebuchadnezzar.”

For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: A yoke of iron do I put upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon; and they shall serve him. The beasts of the field also do I give to him.

15 Na nga fahkang nu sel Hananiah ma se inge, ac tafwelana ac fahk, “Hananiah, lohng pac! LEUM GOD El tia supwekom, ac kom oru mwet inge lulalfongi sie kas kikiap.

Jeremiah the prophet said also to Hananiah the prophet: Hear now, Hananiah! Jehovah hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie.

16 Ke ma inge LEUM GOD sifacna El fahk mu El ac siskomla. Meet liki yac se inge safla, kom ac fah misa, mweyen kom fahk mwet uh in tuyak lain LEUM GOD.

Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will cast thee off from the face of the earth. This year thou shalt die; for thou hast spoken rebellion against Jehovah.

17 Ac Hananiah el misa ke malem akitkosr in yac sacna.

And Hananiah the prophet died in the same year, in the seventh month.
