Heremaia 28
1 I taua tau, i te timatanga o te kingitanga o Terekia kingi o Hura, i te wha o nga tau, i te rima o nga marama, ka korero a Hanania poropiti tama a Aturu, he tangata no Kipeono, ki ahau i roto i te whare o Ihowa, i te aroaro o nga tohunga ratou ko te iwi katoa; i mea ia,
That same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, Hananiah the son of Azzur, the prophet, who was of Gibeon, spoke to me in Yahweh’s house, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,
2 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira, e ki ana ia, Kua whati i ahau te ioka a te kingi o Papurona.
“Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says, ‘I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
3 E kore e tutuki rawa nga tau e rua, ka whakahokia mai e ahau ki tenei wahi nga oko katoa o te whare o Ihowa i maua atu e Nepukaneha kingi o Papurona i tenei wahi, i kawea atu e ia ki Papurona:
Within two full years I will bring again into this place all the vessels of Yahweh’s house that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place and carried to Babylon.
4 A ka whakahokia mai e ahau ki tenei wahi a Hekonia tama a Iehoiakimi kingi o Hura, ratou ko nga whakarau katoa o Hura i haere nei ki Papurona, e ai ta Ihowa: no te mea ka whati i ahau te ioka a te kingi o Papurona.
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 Yahweh; ‘for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.’”
5 Katahi ka mea atu a Heremaia poropiti ki a Hanania poropiti i te aroaro o nga tohunga, i te aroaro ano o te iwi katoa e tu ana i te whare o Ihowa,
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 Yahweh’s house,
6 I mea taua Heremaia poropiti, Amine: kia pena mai ano a Ihowa: kia mahia hoki e Ihowa au kupu i poropititia na e koe mo nga oko o te whare o Ihowa, mo nga whakarau katoa hoki, ka whakahokia mai i Papurona ki tenei wahi.
even the prophet Jeremiah said, “Amen! May Yahweh do so. May Yahweh perform your words which you have prophesied, to bring again the vessels of Yahweh’s house, and all those who are captives, from Babylon to this place.
7 Otiia kia rongo mai koe inaianei ki tenei kupu e korerotia nei e ahau ki ou taringa, ki nga taringa ano o te iwi katoa:
Nevertheless listen now to this word that I speak in your ears, and in the ears of all the people:
8 Ko nga poropiti i mua atu i ahau, i mua atu hoki i a koe, i mua noa atu, i poropititia e ratou he he mo nga whenua maha, mo nga kingitanga nunui, he whawhai, he kino, he mate uruta.
The prophets who have been before me and before you of old prophesied against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, of evil, and of pestilence.
9 Ko te poropiti e poropiti ana i te rongo mau, ki te tutuki te kupu a te poropiti, hei reira ka mohiotia taua poropiti, he pono na Ihowa ia i unga mai.
As for the prophet who prophesies of peace, when the word of the prophet happens, then the prophet will be known, that Yahweh has truly sent him.”
10 Katahi ka mau a Hanania poropiti ki te ioka i te kaki o Heremaia poropiti, wahia ana e ia.
Then Hananiah the prophet took the bar from off the prophet Jeremiah’s neck, and broke it.
11 A ka korero a Hanania poropiti i te aroaro o te iwi katoa, ka mea, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Ka peneitia e ahau te wahi atu i te ioka a Nepukaneha kingi o Papurona i roto i nga ra o nga taua e rua i te kaki o nga iwi katoa. Na haere ana a Herema ia poropiti i tona ara.
Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, “Yahweh says: ‘Even so I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from off the neck of all the nations within two full years.’” Then the prophet Jeremiah went his way.
12 Katahi ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a Heremaia i muri i te wawahanga a Hanania poropiti i te ioka i te kaki o Heremaia poropiti, a ka mea ia,
Then Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah, after Hananiah the prophet had broken the bar from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
13 Haere, korero ki a Hanania, mea atu, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Kua wahia e koe nga ioka rakau; otira me hanga e koe etahi ioka rino hei whakakapi mo ena.
“Go, and tell Hananiah, saying, ‘Yahweh says, “You have broken the bars of wood, but you have made in their place bars of iron.”
14 Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira: Kua whakanohoia e ahau he ioka rino ki te kaki o enei iwi katoa, kia mahi ai ratou ki a Nepukaneha kingi o Papurona: ina, ka mahi ratou ki a ia; kua hoatu ano e ahau nga kirehe o te parae ki a ia.
For Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says, “I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they will serve him. I have also given him the animals of the field.”’”
15 Katahi ka mea te poropiti, a Heremaia, ki te poropiti, ki a Hanania, Whakarongo mai, e Hanania; ehara koe i a Ihowa i unga; kua mea ia koe i tenei iwi kia whakawhirinaki ki te teka.
Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, “Listen, Hananiah! Yahweh has not sent you, but you make this people trust in a lie.
16 Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Nana, ka peia atu koe e ahau i te mata o te oneone: i tenei tau ano ka mate koe, no te mea kua korero koe i te tutu ki a Ihowa.
Therefore Yahweh says, ‘Behold, I will send you away from off the surface of the earth. This year you will die, because you have spoken rebellion against Yahweh.’”
17 Na i taua tau ano ka mate a Hanania i te whitu o nga marama.
So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.
