Selemaia 28

1In that same year, at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fifth month of the fourth year, Hananiah the son of Azzur, the prophet from Gibeon, spoke to me in the house of the LORD, in the presence of the priests and all the people, saying,

1PEA 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.

2Naʻe pehē mai ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, “Kuo u maumauʻi ʻae haʻamonga ʻae tuʻi ʻo Papilone.

3Within two years I will bring back to this place all the vessels of the LORD’s house, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place and carried to Babylon.

3‌ʻI 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:

4I will also bring back to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and all the exiles from Judah who went to Babylon, declares the LORD, for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.”

4‌ʻOku 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.”

5Then the prophet Jeremiah spoke to Hananiah the prophet in the presence of the priests and all the people who were standing in the house of the LORD,

5Pea 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,

6and the prophet Jeremiah said, “Amen! May the LORD do so; may the LORD make the words that you have prophesied come true, and bring back to this place from Babylon the vessels of the house of the LORD, and all the exiles.

6‌ʻIo, 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.

7Yet hear now this word that I speak in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people.

7Ka te ke fanongo eni ki he lea ni te u lea ʻaki ʻi ho telinga, pea ki he telinga ʻoe kakai kotoa pē;

8The prophets who preceded you and me from ancient times prophesied war, famine, and pestilence against many countries and great kingdoms.

8Ko 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.

9As for the prophet who prophesies peace, when the word of that prophet comes to pass, then it will be known that the LORD has truly sent the prophet.”

9Ko 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.”

10Then the prophet Hananiah took the yoke-bars from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet and broke them.

10Pea naʻe toki toʻo ʻe Hanania ko e palōfita ʻae haʻamonga mei he kia ʻoe palōfita ko Selemaia, pea maumauʻi ia.

11And Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, “Thus says the LORD: Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all the nations within two years.” But Jeremiah the prophet went his way.

11Pea 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.

12Sometime after the prophet Hananiah had broken the yoke-bars from off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:

12Pea 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, tell Hananiah, ‘Thus says the LORD: You have broken wooden bars, but you have made in their place bars of iron.

13“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.

14For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: I have put upon the neck of all these nations an iron yoke to serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and they shall serve him, for I have given to him even the beasts of the field.’”

14He 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.”

15And Jeremiah the prophet said to the prophet Hananiah, “Listen, Hananiah, the LORD has not sent you, and you have made this people trust in a lie.

15Pea 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.

16Therefore thus says the LORD: ‘Behold, I will remove you from the face of the earth. This year you shall die, because you have uttered rebellion against the LORD.’”

16Ko 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.”

17In that same year, in the seventh month, the prophet Hananiah died.

17Pea naʻe mate ʻa Hanania ko e palōfita ʻi he taʻu ko ia ʻi hono fitu māhina.
