Yeremia 28

1 Ɔbosome a ɛtɔ so enum wɔ afe korɔ a ɛyɛ Yudahene Sedekia adedie ahyɛaseɛ, afe a ɛtɔ so ɛnan no mu, odiyifoɔ Hanania a ɔyɛ Asur a ɔfiri Gibeon babarima no ka kyerɛɛ me wɔ Awurade efie ɛberɛ a na asɔfoɔ ne nnipa no nyinaa ahyia sɛ,

And it cometh to pass, in that year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, spoken unto me hath Hananiah son of Azur the prophet, who [is] of Gibeon, in the house of Jehovah, before the eyes of the priests, and all the people, saying,

2 “Yei ne deɛ Asafo Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn seɛ: ‘Mɛbubu Babiloniahene kɔnnua no.

'Thus spake Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon;

3 Mfeɛ mmienu mu no, mede Awurade efie mu nneɛma a Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar bɛfa firii ha kɔɔ Babilonia no nyinaa bɛsane aba bio.

Within two years of days I am bringing back unto this place all the vessels of the house of Jehovah that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon hath taken from this place, and doth carry to Babylon,

4 Na mɛsane de Yehoiakin a ɔyɛ Yudahene Yehoiakim babarima ne Yuda nnommumfoɔ a wɔkɔɔ Babilonia no nyinaa aba bio’ sei na Awurade seɛ, ‘na mɛbubu Babiloniahene kɔnnua no.’”

And Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and all the removed of Judah, who are entering Babylon, I am bringing back unto this place — an affirmation of Jehovah; for I do break the yoke of the king of Babylon.'

5 Na odiyifoɔ Yeremia buaa odiyifoɔ Hanania wɔ asɔfoɔ ne nnipa a na wɔgyinagyina Awurade efie no nyinaa anim.

And Jeremiah the prophet saith unto Hananiah the prophet, before the eyes of the priests, and before the eyes of all the people who are standing in the house of Jehovah,

6 Ɔkaa sɛ, “Amen! Ma Awurade nyɛ no saa! Ma Awurade mma wo nkɔm a woahyɛ sɛ wɔde Awurade efie nneɛma no nyinaa ne nnommumfoɔ bɛfiri Babilonia asane aba ɛha yi no mmra mu.

Yea, Jeremiah the prophet saith, 'Amen! so may Jehovah do; Jehovah establish thy words that thou hast prophesied, to bring back the vessels of the house of Jehovah and all the removal from Babylon, unto this place.

7 Nanso, tie asɛm a ɛsɛ sɛ meka ma wote na nnipa no nyinaa nso teɛ:

'Only, hear, I pray thee, this word that I am speaking in thine ears, and in the ears of all the people.

8 Ɛfiri tete no, adiyifoɔ a wɔdii mʼanim ne wʼanim no hyehyɛɛ ɔko, amanehunu ne ɔyaredɔm ho nkɔm tiaa aman bebree ne ahennie akɛseɛ.

The prophets who have been before me, and before thee, from of old, even they prophesy concerning many lands, and concerning great kingdoms, of battle, and of evil, and of pestilence.

9 Nanso odiyifoɔ a ɔhyɛ asomdwoeɛ ho nkɔm no, sɛ ne nkɔmhyɛ no ba mu a wɔbɛgye no atom sɛ obi a ampa ara Awurade asoma no.”

The prophet who doth prophesy of peace — by the coming in of the word of the prophet, known is the prophet that Jehovah hath truly sent him.'

10 Na odiyifoɔ Hanania yii kɔnnua no firii odiyifoɔ Yeremia kɔn mu, bubuu mu,

And Hananiah the prophet taketh the yoke from off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, and breaketh it,

11 na ɔkaeɛ wɔ nnipa no nyinaa anim sɛ, “Yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ: ‘Saa ara na mɛbubu Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar kɔnnua no afiri amanaman nyinaa kɔn mu wɔ mfeɛ mmienu mu.’” Odiyifoɔ Yeremia tee yei no ɔfirii hɔ kɔeɛ.

And Hananiah speaketh before the eyes of all the people, saying, 'Thus said Jehovah, Thus I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, within two years of days, from off the neck of all the nations;' and Jeremiah the prophet goeth on his way.

12 Odiyifoɔ Hanania bubuu kɔnnua no firii odiyifoɔ Yeremia kɔn mu akyire no, Awurade asɛm baa Yeremia nkyɛn sɛ:

And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah after the breaking, by Hananiah the prophet, of the yoke from off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, saying,

13 “Kɔ na kɔka kyerɛ Hanania sɛ, ‘Yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ: Woabubu dua kɔnnua mu, nanso mede dadeɛ kɔnnua bɛsi anan mu.

'Go, and thou hast spoken unto Hananiah, saying, Thus said Jehovah, Yokes of wood thou hast broken, and I have made instead of them yokes of iron;

14 Na sɛdeɛ Asafo Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn no seɛ nie: Mede dadeɛ kɔnnua bɛto amanaman nyinaa kɔn mu, ama wɔn asom Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar, na wɔbɛsom no. Na mpo mɛma no adi wiram mmoa so.’”

For thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, A yoke of iron I have put on the neck of all these nations to serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and they have served him, and also the beast of the field I have given to him.'

15 Na odiyifoɔ Yeremia ka kyerɛɛ odiyifoɔ Hanania sɛ, “Tie, Hanania! Awurade nsomaa wo, nanso, woama ɔman yi agye atorɔ ato mu.

And Jeremiah the prophet saith unto Hananiah the prophet, 'Hear, I pray thee, O Hananiah; Jehovah hath not sent thee, and thou hast caused this people to trust on falsehood.

16 Ɛno enti, sɛ Awurade seɛ nie: ‘Merebɛyi wo afiri asase so. Afeɛ yi mu ara wobɛwu, ɛfiri sɛ woaka atuateɛ nsɛm atia Awurade.’”

Therefore thus said Jehovah, Lo, I am casting thee from off the face of the ground; this year thou diest, for apostasy thou hast spoken concerning Jehovah.'

17 Ɔbosome a ɛtɔ so nson wɔ afe no ara mu no, odiyifoɔ Hanania wuiɛ.

And Hananiah the prophet dieth in that year, in the seventh month.
