Jeremias 28

1 That same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, Hananiah the son of Azzur, the prophet, who was of Gibeon, spoke to me in Yahweh’s house, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying, 2 "Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says, ‘I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon. 3 Within two full years I will bring again into this place all the vessels of Yahweh’s house that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place and carried to Babylon. 4 I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah, who went to Babylon,’ says Yahweh; ‘for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.’"

5 Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people who stood in Yahweh’s house, 6 even the prophet Jeremiah said, "Amen! May Yahweh do so. May Yahweh perform your words which you have prophesied, to bring again the vessels of Yahweh’s house, and all those who are captives, from Babylon to this place. 7 Nevertheless listen now to this word that I speak in your ears, and in the ears of all the people: 8 The prophets who have been before me and before you of old prophesied against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, of evil, and of pestilence. 9 As for the prophet who prophesies of peace, when the word of the prophet happens, then the prophet will be known, that Yahweh has truly sent him."

10 Then Hananiah the prophet took the bar from off the prophet Jeremiah’s neck, and broke it. 11 Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, "Yahweh says: ‘Even so I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from off the neck of all the nations within two full years.’" Then the prophet Jeremiah went his way.

12 Then Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah, after Hananiah the prophet had broken the bar from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying, 13 "Go, and tell Hananiah, saying, ‘Yahweh says, "You have broken the bars of wood, but you have made in their place bars of iron." 14 For Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says, "I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they will serve him. I have also given him the animals of the field."’"

15 Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, "Listen, Hananiah! Yahweh has not sent you, but you make this people trust in a lie. 16 Therefore Yahweh says, ‘Behold, I will send you away from off the surface of the earth. This year you will die, because you have spoken rebellion against Yahweh.’"

17 So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.

Ko Heremaia me te Poropiti Hanania

1 I taua tau, i te tīmatanga o te kīngitanga o Terekia kīngi o Hūrā, i te whā o ngā tau, i te rima o ngā marama, ka kōrero a Hanania poropiti tama a Āturu, he tangata nō Kipeono, ki ahau i roto i te whare o Ihowā, i te aroaro o ngā tohunga rātou ko te iwi katoa, i mea ia, 2 "Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā o ngā mano, a te Atua o Īharaira, e kī ana ia: ‘Kua whati i ahau te ioka a te kīngi o Papurōna. 3 E kore e tutuki rawa ngā tau e rua, ka whakahokia mai e ahau ki tēnei wāhi ngā oko katoa o te whare o Ihowā i maua atu e Nepukaneha kīngi o Papurōna i tēnei wāhi, i kawea atu e ia ki Papurōna, 4 ā, ka whakahokia mai e ahau ki tēnei wāhi a Hekonia tama a Iehoiakimi kīngi o Hūrā, rātou ko ngā whakarau katoa o Hūrā i haere nei ki Papurōna,’ e ai tā Ihowā, ‘nō te mea ka whati i ahau te ioka a te kīngi o Papurōna.’ "

5 Kātahi ka mea atu a Heremaia poropiti ki a Hanania poropiti i te aroaro o ngā tohunga, i te aroaro anō o te iwi katoa e tū ana i te whare o Ihowā, 6 i mea taua Heremaia poropiti, "Āmine! Kia pēnā mai anō a Ihowā. Kia mahia hoki e Ihowā āu kupu i poropititia nā e koe mō ngā oko o te whare o Ihowā, mō ngā whakarau katoa hoki, ka whakahokia mai i Papurōna ki tēnei wāhi. 7 Otiia kia rongo mai koe ināianei ki tēnei kupu e kōrerotia nei e ahau ki ōu taringa, ki ngā taringa anō o te iwi katoa. 8 Ko ngā poropiti i mua atu i ahau, i mua atu hoki i a koe, i mua noa atu, i poropititia e rātou he hē mō ngā whenua maha, mō ngā kīngitanga nunui, he whawhai, he kino, he mate urutā. 9 Ko te poropiti e poropiti ana i te rongo mau, ki te tutuki te kupu a te poropiti, hei reira ka mōhiotia taua poropiti, he pono nā Ihowā ia i unga mai."

10 Kātahi ka mau a Hanania poropiti ki te ioka i te kakī o Heremaia poropiti, wāhia ana e ia. 11 Ā, ka kōrero a Hanania poropiti i te aroaro o te iwi katoa, ka mea, "Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā: ‘Ka pēneitia e ahau te wāhi atu i te ioka a Nepukaneha kīngi o Papurōna i roto i ngā rā o ngā tau e rua i te kakī o ngā iwi katoa.’ " Nā, haere ana a Heremaia poropiti i tōna ara.

12 Kātahi ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowā ki a Heremaia i muri i te wawāhanga a Hanania poropiti i te ioka i te kakī o Heremaia poropiti, ā, ka mea ia: 13 "Haere, kōrero ki a Hanania, mea atu, ‘Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā: Kua wāhia e koe ngā ioka rākau; otirā me hanga e koe ētahi ioka rino hei whakakapi mō ēnā. 14 Ko te kupu hoki tēnei a Ihowā o ngā mano, a te Atua o Īharaira: Kua whakanohoia e ahau he ioka rino ki te kakī o ēnei iwi katoa, kia mahi ai rātou ki a Nepukaneha kīngi o Papurōna; inā, ka mahi rātou ki a ia. Kua hoatu anō e ahau ngā kīrehe o te pārae ki a ia.’ "

15 Kātahi ka mea te poropiti, a Heremaia, ki te poropiti, ki a Hanania, "Whakarongo mai, e Hanania; ehara koe i a Ihowā i unga; kua mea ia koe i tēnei iwi kia whakawhirinaki ki te teka. 16 Mō reira ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā: ‘Nanā, ka peia atu koe e ahau i te mata o te oneone. I tēnei tau anō ka mate koe, nō te mea kua kōrero koe i te tutū ki a Ihowā.’ "

17 Nā, i taua tau anō ka mate a Hanania i te whitu o ngā marama.
