Yeremia 28
1 Ilitokea katika mwaka ule, mwanzoni mwa utawala wa Sedekia mfalme wa Yuda, katika mwaka wa nne na mwezi wa tano, Hanania mwana wa Azuri nabii, alikuwa wa Gibeoni, alisema kwangu katika nyumba ya Yahwe mbele za makuhani na watu wote. Alisema,
And that same yeere in the beginning of the reigne of Zedekiah King of Iudah in the fourth yeere, and in the fifth moneth Hananiah the sonne of Azur the prophet, which was of Gibeon, spake to mee in the House of the Lord in the presence of the Priestes, and of all the people, and said,
2 “Yahwe wa majeshi, Mungu wa Israeli, anasema hivi: Nimeivunja nira iliyowekwa na mfalme wa Babeli.
Thus speaketh the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, saying, I haue broken the yoke of the King of Babel.
3 Ndani ya miaka miwili nitavirudisha katika sehemu hii vyombo vyote vya nyumba ya Yahwe ambavyo Nebukadreza mfalme wa Babeli livichukua kutoka sehemu hii na kuvisafirisha hadi Babeli.
Within two yeeres space I will bring into this place all the vessels of the Lords House, that Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel tooke away from this place, and caried them into Babel.
4 Kisha nitawarudisha katika sehemu hii Yekonia mwana wa Yehotakimu, mfalme wa Yuda, na mateka wote wa Yuda ambao walipelekwa Babeli—hili ni tangazo la Yahwe—kwa maana nitaivunja nira ya mfalme wa Babeli.”
And I will bring againe to this place Ieconiah the sonne of Iehoiakim King of Iudah, with all them that were caried away captiue of Iudah, and went into Babel, saith the Lord: for I will breake the yoke of the King of Babel.
5 Kwa hiyo Yeremia nabii akasema kwa Hanania nabii mbele ya makuhani na kwa watu wote waliosimama katika nyumba ya Yahwe.
Then the Prophet Ieremiah saide vnto the Prophet Hananiah in the presence of ye Priests, and in the presence of all the people that stoode in the House of the Lord.
6 Yeremia nabii akasema, “Yahwe afanye hivi! Yahwe ayathibitishe maneno ambayao ulitabiri na kuvirudisha katika sehemsu hii vyombo vya nyumb a ya Yahwe, na mateka wote kutoka Babeli.
Euen the Prophet Ieremiah sayde, So bee it: the Lord so doe, the Lord confirme thy words which thou hast prophecied to restore the vessels of the Lordes House, and al that is caried captiue, from Babel, into this place.
7 Vile vile, sikilizeni neno ambaloo ninalitangaza katika masikio yenu na katika masikio ya watu wote.
But heare thou now this worde that I will speake in thine eares and in the eares of all the people.
8 Manabii ambao walikuwepo mbele yangu na na mbele yenu muda mrefu uliopita pia walitabiri kuhusu mataifa mengi na juu ya falme kuu, kuhusu vita, njaa, na mapigo.
The Prophets that haue beene before mee and before thee in time past, prophecied against many countreyes, and against great kingdomes, of warre, and of plagues, and of pestilence.
9 Kwa hiyo nabii anayetabiri kwamba kutakuwa na amani—kama neno lake litatimia, basi itajulikana kwamba yeye ni nabii kweli aliyetumwa na Yahwe.”
And the Prophet which prophecieth of peace, when the word of the Prophet shall come to passe, then shall the Prophet be knowen that the Lord hath truely sent him.
10 Lakini Hanania nabii akaichukua nira kutoka kwenye shingo ya Yeremia na kuivunja.
Then Hananiah the Prophet tooke the yoke from the Prophet Ieremiahs necke, and brake it.
11 Kisha Hanania akanena mbele ya watu wote na kusema, “Yahwe anasema hivi: Kama hivi tu, ndani ya miaka miwili nitaivunja nira iliyowekwa na Nebukadreza mfalme wa Babeli kutoka kwenye shingo ya kila taifa.” Kisha Yeremia nabii akaenda njia yake.
And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith the Lord, Euen so will I breake the yoke of Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel, from the necke of al nations within the space of two yeres: and the Prophet Ieremiah went his way.
12 Baada ya Hanania nabii kuivunja nira kutoka kwenye shingo ya Yeremia nabii, neno la Yahwe likamjia Yeremia. likisema,
Then the word of the Lord came vnto Ieremiah the Prophet, (after that Hananiah the Prophet had broken the yoke from the necke of the Prophet Ieremiah) saying,
13 Nenda na ukaseme kwa Hanania na useme, Yahwe anasema hivi: Uliivunja nira ya mbao, lakini badala yake nitafanya nira ya chuma.'
Go, and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus sayth the Lord, Thou hast broken the yokes of wood, but thou shalt make for them yokes of yron.
14 Kwa maana Yahwe wa majeshi, Mungu wa Israeli, anasema hivi: Nimeweka nira ya chuma shingoni mwa mataifa haya yote ili wamtumikea Nebukadreza mfalme wa Babeli, na watamtumikia. Pia nimempa wanyama wa mashambani awatawale.”
For thus saith the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, I haue put a yoke of yron vpon the necke of all these nations, that they may serue Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel: for they shall serue him, and I haue giuen him the beasts of the fielde also.
15 Kisha nabii Yeremia akamwambia Hanania nabii, “Sikiliza Hanania! Yahwe hajakutuma, bali wewe mwenyewe umewasababisha watu hawa kuamini katika uongo.
Then sayd the Prophet Ieremiah vnto the Prophet Hananiah, Heare nowe Hananiah, the Lord hath not sent thee, but thou makest this people to trust in a lye.
16 Kwa hiyo Yahwe anasema hivi: Angalia, niko karibu kukutuma nje ya dunia. Mwaka huu utakufa.”
Therefore thus saith the Lord, Beholde, I will cast thee from of the earth: this yeere thou shalt die, because thou hast spoken rebelliously against the Lord.
17 Katika mwezi wa saba wa mwaka ule ule, Hanania nabii akafa.
So Hananiah the Prophet died the same yeere in the seuenth moneth.
