Ermiyaas 28
1 Jalqaba bulchiinsa mootummaa Zedeqiyaa mootii Yihuudaatti, jiʼa shanaffaa waggaa sanaatti, waggaa afuraffaatti, Hanaaniyaan raajichi ilmi Azuri, namni Gibeʼoon sun mana Waaqayyoo keessatti, fuula lubootaatii fi uummata hundaa duratti akkana naan jedhe:
This is what happened in the beginning of the reign of King Zedekiah of Judah, in the fifth month of that same year, the fourth year. The prophet Hananiah, son of Azzur, who was from Gibeon, told me in the Lord's Temple in front of the priests and all the people:
2 “Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha; ‘Ani waanjoo mootii Baabilon nan cabsa.
“This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
3 Ani waggaa lama keessatti miʼoota mana Waaqayyoo kanneen Nebukadnezar mootichi Baabilon asii guuree Baabilonitti geesse hunda iddoo kanatti deebisee nan fida.
Before two years have passed I'm going to bring back to Jerusalem all the Temple objects that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon removed and took to Babylon.
4 Ani amma illee Yehooyaakiin ilma Yehooyaaqiim mooticha Yihuudaa sanaa fi boojiʼamtoota Yihuudaadhaa gara Baabilonitti geeffaman kaan hunda iddoo kanatti deebisee nan fida; ani waanjoo mootii Baabilon nan cabsaatii’ jedha Waaqayyo.”
I will also bring back to Jerusalem Jehoiachin, son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, together with all the exiles from Judah who were taken to Babylon, declares the Lord, because I'm going to break the yoke of the king of Babylon.”
5 Ermiyaas raajichi fuuluma lubootaatii fi uummata mana Waaqayyoo keessa dhaabachaa turan hundaa duratti akkana jedhee Hanaaniyaa raajichaaf deebii kenne;
Then the prophet Jeremiah responded to the prophet Hananiah in front of the priests and all the people who were standing in the Lord's Temple.
6 “Ameen! Waaqayyo waan kana haa godhu! Waaqayyo miʼa mana Waaqayyootii fi boojiʼamtoota boojiʼaman hunda Baabilonii iddoo kanatti deebisuudhaan raajii ati dubbatte haa raawwatu.
“Amen!” said Jeremiah. “I wish the Lord would do just that! I wish the Lord would fulfill your prophetic words and bring back Temple objects and all the exiles back to Jerusalem from Babylon.
7 Taʼus waan ani utuu atii fi namoonni kun hundi dhageessanuu dubbadhu kana dhagaʼi:
But even so, pay attention to this message I'm going to tell you and everyone here.
8 Raajonni anaa fi siin dura turan bara duriitii jalqabanii akka biyyoota baayʼee fi mootummoota gurguddootti waraanni, badiisnii fi dhaʼichi dhufu raajaniiru.
The prophets of long ago who came before you and me prophesied war, disaster, and disease against many countries and great kingdoms.
9 Raajiin nagaa raaju garuu yoo raajiin isaa sun fiixaan baʼe qofa akka Waaqayyo biraa ergame beekama.”
When it comes to a prophet who prophesies peace, see if their prophecies come true. Only that will prove they are really sent by the Lord.”
10 Ergasii Hanaaniyaan raajichi morma Ermiyaas raajichaa irraa waanjoo fuudhee cabse;
Then the prophet Hananiah removed the yoke from the prophet Jeremiah's neck and broke it.
11 innis fuula nama hundaa duratti akkana jedhe; “Waaqayyo akkana jedha; ‘Ani waggaa lama keessatti waanjoo Nebukadnezar mooticha Baabilon morma saboota hundaa irraa akkanuma nan cabsa.’” Kana irratti Ermiyaas raajichi karaa isaa qabatee qajeele.
Hananiah announced in front of everyone, “This is what the Lord says: Just like this, before two years have passed I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all the nations.” Jeremiah the prophet left.
12 Erga Hanaaniyaan raajichi waanjoo morma Ermiyaas raajichaa irraa cabsee booddee dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Ermiyaas dhufe:
However, right after Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from his neck, a message of the Lord came to Jeremiah:
13 “Dhaqiitii akkana jedhii Hanaaniyaatti himi; ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Ati waanjoo mukaa cabsiteerta; garuu qooda isaa waanjoo sibiilaa ni argatta.
“Go and tell Hananiah that this is what the Lord says: You may have broken a wooden yoke of wood, but you have replaced it with an iron yoke.
14 Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: Ani akka isaan Nebukadnezar mooticha Baabilon tajaajilan gochuuf morma saboota kana hundaa irra waanjoo sibiilaa nan kaʼaa; isaanis isa ni tajaajilu. Ani bineensa irratti illee ol aantummaa isaaf nan kenna.’”
This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I have tied iron yokes on the necks of all these nations to force them to serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and they will serve him. I have even given him control over the wild animals.”
15 Ermiyaas raajichis Hanaaniyaa raajichaan akkana jedhe: “Yaa Hanaaniyaa dhagaʼi! Waaqayyo si hin ergine; ati garuu akka sabni kun sobaa abdatu gooteerta.
Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah, “Listen to this, Hananiah! The Lord didn't send you, but you have convinced these people to believe in a lie.
16 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo akkana jedha: ‘Ani lafa irraa sin balleessa; ati waan Waaqayyo irratti fincila lallabdeef baruma kana duuta.’”
So this is what the Lord says: I'm going to get rid of you from the earth. You will die this year because you have promoted rebellion against the Lord.”
17 Hanaaniyaa raajichis wagguma sana keessa jiʼa torbaffaatti duʼe.
The prophet Hananiah died in the seventh month of that very year.
