< Yeremiya 28 >

1 Mu mwezi ogwokutaano ogw’omwaka gwe gumu, gwe mwaka ogwokuna, obufuzi bwa Zeddekiya kabaka wa Yuda nga bw’akatandika, nnabbi Kananiya omwana wa Azuri eyali abeera e Gibyoni n’aŋŋambira mu nnyumba ya Mukama nga bakabona n’abantu bonna we bali nti,
It happened 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 Azzur, the prophet, who was of Gibeon, spoke to me in the house of the LORD, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,
2 “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, ‘Nzija kumenya ekikoligo kya kabaka w’e Babulooni.
"Thus speaks the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, 'I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
3 Emyaka ebiri nga teginnaggwaako, ndikomyawo ebintu by’omu nnyumba ya Mukama mu kifo kino, Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni bye yaggya wano n’abitwala e Babulooni.
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 to Babylon:
4 Era ndikomyawo wano Yekoyakini mutabani wa Yekoyakimu kabaka wa Yuda n’abantu abalala bonna abaava mu Yuda abaatwalibwa e Babulooni,’ bw’ayogera Mukama, ‘kubanga ndimenya ekikoligo kya kabaka w’e Babulooni.’”
and I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah, who went to Babylon,' says the LORD; 'for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.'"
5 Awo nnabbi Yeremiya n’addamu mu bunnabbi bwa Kananiya nga ne bakabona n’abantu bonna we bali bayimiridde mu nnyumba ya Mukama, n’agamba nti,
Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people who stood in the house of the LORD,
6 “Amiina! Bw’atyo Mukama bw’aba akola! Mukama atuukirize ebigambo by’oyogedde ng’akomyawo ebintu eby’omu nnyumba ya Mukama era n’abawambe bonna abakomyewo mu kifo kino okuva mu Babulooni.
even the prophet Jeremiah said, "Amen: LORD do so; the LORD perform your words which you have prophesied, to bring back the vessels of the LORD's house, and all them of the captivity, from Babylon to this place.
7 Wabula, wuliriza kye ŋŋenda okwogera ng’owuliriza n’abantu bano bonna nga bawulira.
Nevertheless hear you now this word that I speak in your ears, and in the ears of all the people:
8 Okuva edda n’edda bannabbi abaatusooka, ggwe nange baategeezanga kubaawo kwa ntalo, na bikangabwa na kawumpuli okugwa ku mawanga n’obwakabaka obw’amaanyi.
The prophets who have been before me and before you of old prophesied against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence.
9 Naye nnabbi eyategeeza obunnabbi obw’emirembe ajja kulabibwa nga ddala atumiddwa Mukama era ng’obubaka bw’ategeeza butuukiridde.”
The prophet who prophesies of peace, when the word of the prophet shall happen, then shall the prophet be known, that the LORD has truly sent him."
10 Awo nnabbi Kananiya n’alyoka akwata ekikoligo ekyali ku nsingo ya Yeremiya n’akimenya,
Then Hananiah the prophet took the bar from off the prophet Jeremiah's neck, and broke it.
11 n’alyoka ayogera eri abantu bonna nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, ‘Mu ngeri y’emu bw’eti, bwe ndimenya ekikoligo ekya Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni okuva ku mawanga gonna mu myaka ebiri.’” Naye ye nnabbi Yeremiya n’avaawo ne yeetambulira.
Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, "Thus says the LORD: 'Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon within two full years from off the neck of all the nations.'" The prophet Jeremiah went his way.
12 Bwe waayitawo ebbanga ttono nga nnabbi Kananiya amenye ekikoligo ku nsingo ya Yeremiya, ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Yeremiya nti,
Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the bar from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
13 “Genda ogambe Kananiya nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, Omenye ekikoligo kya muti naye mu kifo kyakyo ojja kufunamu kikoligo kya kyuma.
"Go, and tell Hananiah, saying, 'Thus says the LORD: You have broken the bars of wood; but you have made in their place bars of iron.
14 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, Nditeeka ekikoligo eky’ekyuma mu nsingo z’amawanga gano gonna baweereze Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni era balimuweereza. Ndimuwa obuyinza n’ensolo azifuge.’”
For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: "I have put a yoke of iron on 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 animals of the field also."'"
15 Awo nnabbi Yeremiya n’agamba nnabbi Kananiya nti, “Wuliriza, Kananiya! Mukama tannakutuma naye ggwe owalirizza eggwanga lino okwesiga obulimba.
Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, "Hear now, Hananiah: the LORD has not sent you; but you make this people to trust in a lie.
16 Noolwekyo kino Mukama kyagamba nti, ‘Ndikumpi okukuggya ku nsi. Omwaka guno gwennyini ogenda kufa, kubanga oyigirizza abantu okujeemera Mukama.’”
Therefore thus says the LORD, 'Look, I will send you away from off the surface of the earth: this year you shall die, because you have spoken rebellion against the LORD.'"
17 Mu mwezi ogw’omusanvu ogw’omwaka gwe gumu, Kananiya n’afa.
So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.
