Jeremiah 28
1 And it happened in that year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah, the king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, that Hananiah, the son of Azur, the prophet from Gibeon, spoke to me, in the house of the Lord, in the sight of the priests and all the people, saying:
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he taʻu pe ko ia, ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻoe pule ʻa Setikia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻi hono fā ʻoe taʻu, pea ʻi hono nima māhina, ko Hanania ko e foha ʻo ʻAsuli ko e palōfita, ʻaia naʻe ʻi Kipione, naʻe lea kiate au ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē, ʻo pehē,
2 “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
Naʻe pehē mai ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, “Kuo u maumauʻi ʻae haʻamonga ʻae tuʻi ʻo Papilone.
3 There are still two years of days, and then I will cause to be carried back to this place all the vessels of the house of the Lord that Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, took from this place and carried away to Babylon.
ʻI he teʻeki ai ʻosi ʻae taʻu ʻe ua te u toe ʻomi ki he potu ni ʻae ngaahi ipu kotoa pē ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova, ʻaia naʻe fetuku ʻe Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone mei he potu ni, pea ʻave ia ki Papilone:
4 And I will return to this place: Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, and all those taken captive from Judah, who were brought into Babylon, says the Lord. For I will crush the yoke of the king of Babylon.”
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, Pea te u toe ʻomi ki he potu ni ʻa Sekonia, ko e foha ʻo Sihoiakimi ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, mo e kau pōpula kotoa pē ʻo Siuta, ʻaia naʻe ʻalu ki Papilone; he te u maumauʻi ʻae haʻamonga ʻae tuʻi ʻo Papilone.”
5 And Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Hananiah the prophet, before the eyes of the priests and before the eyes of all the people who were standing in the house of the Lord.
Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe he palōfita ko Selemaia, ki he palōfita ko Hanania, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki, pea ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai kotoa pē naʻe tutuʻu ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova,
6 And Jeremiah the prophet said: “Amen, may the Lord accomplish this; may the Lord act upon your words, which you have prophesied, so that the vessels may be carried back to the house of the Lord, and so that all those taken captive may return from Babylon to this place.
ʻIo, naʻe pehē ʻe he palōfita ko Selemaia, “ʻEmeni: ke fai pehē ʻe Sihova: ke fakamoʻoni ʻe Sihova ki he ngaahi lea kuo ke kikite ʻaki, ke toe ʻomi ʻae ngaahi ipu ki he fale ʻo Sihova, pea mo e kau pōpula kotoa pē, mei Papilone ki he potu ni.
7 Yet truly, listen to this word, which I am speaking to your ears and to the ears of all the people.
Ka te ke fanongo eni ki he lea ni te u lea ʻaki ʻi ho telinga, pea ki he telinga ʻoe kakai kotoa pē;
8 The prophets, who were before me and before you, from the beginning, have prophesied over many lands and over great kingdoms, about war, and about affliction, and about famine.
Ko e kau palōfita naʻe muʻomuʻa ʻiate au pea naʻe muʻa ʻiate koe ʻi muʻa, naʻa nau kikite foki ki he ngaahi kakai lahi, pea ki he ngaahi puleʻanga lahi, ki he tau, mo e kovi, pea mo e mahaki fakaʻauha.
9 The prophet who has predicted peace, if his word will occur, then the prophet will be known as one whom the Lord has sent in truth.”
Ko e palōfita ʻoku kikite ki he melino, ʻoka fakamoʻoni ʻo hoko ʻae lea ʻae palōfita, ʻe toki ʻilo ai ʻae palōfita, ʻaia naʻe fekau moʻoni ʻe Sihova.”
10 And Hananiah the prophet took the chain from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, and he broke it.
Pea naʻe toki toʻo ʻe Hanania ko e palōfita ʻae haʻamonga mei he kia ʻoe palōfita ko Selemaia, pea maumauʻi ia.
11 And Hananiah spoke in the sight of all the people, saying: “Thus says the Lord: So shall I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, after two years of days, from the neck of all the people.”
Pea lea ʻa Hanania ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Sihova; ʻE pehē ʻeku maumauʻi ʻae haʻamonga ʻo Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone mei he kia ʻoe kakai kotoa pē ʻi he teʻeki ai ʻosi kotoa ʻae taʻu ʻe ua.” Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae palōfita ko Selemaia.
12 And Jeremiah the prophet went his own way. And after Hananiah the prophet had broken the chain from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying:
Pea hili hono maumauʻi ʻe he palōfita ko Hanania ʻae haʻamonga mei he kia ʻoe palōfita ko Selemaia, naʻe toki hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ki he palōfita ko Selemaia, ʻo pehē,
13 “Go, and you shall say to Hananiah: Thus says the Lord: You have broken chains of wood, and so you will make for them chains of iron.
“ʻAlu ʻo tala kia Hanania, ʻo pehē, ʻOku pehē mai ʻa Sihova; Kuo ke maumauʻi ʻae ngaahi haʻamonga ʻakau; ka te ke ngaohi maʻanautolu ʻae ngaahi haʻamonga ukamea.
14 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: I have placed a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations, so that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon. And they shall serve him. Moreover, I have given to him even the beasts of the earth.”
He ʻoku pehē mai ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; kuo u ʻai ʻae haʻamonga ukamea ki he kia ʻoe kakai kotoa pē, koeʻuhi ke nau tauhi kia Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone; pea te nau tauhi kiate ia: pea kuo u foaki foki kiate ia ʻae ngaahi manu ʻoe ngoue.”
15 And Jeremiah the prophet said to Hananiah the prophet: “Listen, Hananiah! The Lord has not sent you, and so you have caused this people to trust in a lie.
Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe he palōfita ko Selemaia ki he palōfita ko Hanania, “Fanongo mai, Hanania; naʻe ʻikai fekau koe ʻe Sihova; ka kuo ke ngaohi ʻae kakai ni ke nau falala ki he loi.
16 For this reason, thus says the Lord: Behold, I will send you away from the face of the earth. This year, you shall die. For you have spoken against the Lord.”
Ko ia ʻoku pehē mai ʻa Sihova; Vakai, te u lī koe mei he funga ʻoe fonua: te ke mate ʻi he taʻu ni, koeʻuhi kuo ke ako ʻaki ʻae angatuʻu kia Sihova.”
17 And Hananiah the prophet died in that year, in the seventh month.
Pea naʻe mate ʻa Hanania ko e palōfita ʻi he taʻu ko ia ʻi hono fitu māhina.
