Jeremiah 28
1 And it came to pass the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, [that] Hananiah the son of Azzur, the prophet, who was of Gibeon, spoke to me in the house of Jehovah, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,
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,
2 Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
“Yei ne deɛ Asafo Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn seɛ: ‘Mɛbubu Babiloniahene kɔnnua no.
3 Within two full years will I bring again into this place all the vessels of Jehovah's house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried to Babylon;
Mfeɛ mmienu mu no, mede Awurade efie mu nneɛma a Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar bɛfa firii ha kɔɔ Babilonia no nyinaa bɛsane aba bio.
4 and I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah that went to Babylon, saith Jehovah: for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.
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.’”
5 And the prophet Jeremiah spoke unto the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people that stood in the house of Jehovah.
Na odiyifoɔ Yeremia buaa odiyifoɔ Hanania wɔ asɔfoɔ ne nnipa a na wɔgyinagyina Awurade efie no nyinaa anim.
6 And the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen, may Jehovah do so! may Jehovah perform thy words which thou hast prophesied, to bring again from Babylon, into this place, the vessels of Jehovah's house, and all them of the captivity!
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.
7 Nevertheless, hear, I pray thee, this word which I speak in thine ears, and in the ears of all the people:
Nanso, tie asɛm a ɛsɛ sɛ meka ma wote na nnipa no nyinaa nso teɛ:
8 The prophets that have been before me and before thee of old, prophesied also concerning many countries and concerning great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence.
Ɛfiri tete no, adiyifoɔ a wɔdii mʼanim ne wʼanim no hyehyɛɛ ɔko, amanehunu ne ɔyaredɔm ho nkɔm tiaa aman bebree ne ahennie akɛseɛ.
9 The prophet that prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, shall be known as the prophet whom Jehovah hath really sent.
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.”
10 And the prophet Hananiah took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah's neck, and broke it.
Na odiyifoɔ Hanania yii kɔnnua no firii odiyifoɔ Yeremia kɔn mu, bubuu mu,
11 And Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith Jehovah: So will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon within two full years from off the neck of all the nations. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way.
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.
12 And the word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah, after that the prophet Hananiah had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
Odiyifoɔ Hanania bubuu kɔnnua no firii odiyifoɔ Yeremia kɔn mu akyire no, Awurade asɛm baa Yeremia nkyɛn sɛ:
13 Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah: Thou hast broken the yokes of wood, and thou hast made in their place yokes of iron.
“Kɔ na kɔka kyerɛ Hanania sɛ, ‘Yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ: Woabubu dua kɔnnua mu, nanso mede dadeɛ kɔnnua bɛsi anan mu.
14 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him: and I have given him the beasts of the field also.
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.’”
15 And the prophet Jeremiah said unto the prophet Hananiah, Hear now, Hananiah: Jehovah hath not sent thee; and thou makest this people to trust in falsehood.
Na odiyifoɔ Yeremia ka kyerɛɛ odiyifoɔ Hanania sɛ, “Tie, Hanania! Awurade nsomaa wo, nanso, woama ɔman yi agye atorɔ ato mu.
16 Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, for thou hast spoken revolt against Jehovah.
Ɛno enti, sɛ Awurade seɛ nie: ‘Merebɛyi wo afiri asase so. Afeɛ yi mu ara wobɛwu, ɛfiri sɛ woaka atuateɛ nsɛm atia Awurade.’”
17 And the prophet Hananiah died in the same year in the seventh month.
Ɔbosome a ɛtɔ so nson wɔ afe no ara mu no, odiyifoɔ Hanania wuiɛ.
