1And 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,
2Zvanzi naJehovha wehondo, Mwari waIsiraeri, Ndavhuna joko ramambo weBhabhironi.
2`Thus spake Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon;
3Makore maviri asati apera kwazvo, ndichadzoserazve kunzvimbo ino midziyo yose yeimba yaJehovha, yakatorwa naNebhukadhinezari mambo weBhabhironi panzvimbo ino, akaiisa Bhabhironi;
3Within 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,
4ndichadzoserazve kunzvimbo ino Jekonia mwanakomana waJehoiakimu mambo waJudha, pamwechete navatapwa vose vaJudha, vakaenda Bhabhironi ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha; nekuti ndichavhuna joko ramambo weBhabhironi.
4And 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.`
5Ipapo muporofita Jeremiya akati kumuporofita Hanania, vapristi navanhu vose varipo vamire mumba maJehovha,
5And 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,
6iye muporofita Jeremiya akati, Ameni, Jehovha ngaaite zvakadaro; Jehovha ngaasimbise mashoko ako awakaporofita, adzoserezve midziyo yeimba yaJehovha, navose vakatapwa, vabve Bhabhironi vauye kunzvimbo ino.
6Yea, 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.
7Asi zvino chinzwa shoko iri randinotaura munzeve dzako, nomunzeve dzavanhu vose.
7`Only, hear, I pray thee, this word that I am speaking in thine ears, and in the ears of all the people.
8Vaporofita, vakanditangira ini newe, vakaporofitira nyika zhinji, noushe hukuru, vachireva zvokurwa, nenzara, nehosha yakaipa.
8The 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.
9Muporofita, unoporofita zvorugare, kana shoko romuporofita uyo rikaitika, muporofita uyo uchazikamwa kuti wakatumwa naJehovha zvirokwazvo.
9The 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.`
10Ipapo muporofita Hanania wakabvisa joko pamutsipa womuporofita Jeremiya, akarivhuna.
10And Hananiah the prophet taketh the yoke from off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, and breaketh it,
11Zvino Hanania akataura pamberi pavanhu vose, achiti, Zvanzi naJehovha, Saizvozvo ndichavhuna joko raNebhukadhinezari mambo weBhabhironi pamitsipa yamarudzi ose makore maviri asati apera kwazvo. Muporofita Jeremiya ndokuenda zvake.
11And 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.
12Ipapo shoko raJehovha rakauya kuna Jeremiya, muporofita Hanania apedza kuvhuna joko pamutsipa womuporofita Jeremiya, zvichinzi,
12And 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,
13Enda undoudza Hanania, uti, Zvanzi naJehovha, wavhuna majoko amatanda, asi waita panzvimbo yazvo majoko esimbi.
13`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;
14nekuti zvanzi naJehovha wehondo, Mwari waIsiraeri, Ndakaisa joko resimbi pamitsipa yamarudzi awa ose, kuti ashumire Nebhukadhinezari mambo weBhabhironi; achamushumira, uye ndakamupawo mhuka dzebundo.
14For 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.`
15Ipapo muporofita Jeremiya wakati kumuporofita Hanania, Chinzwa zvino, Hanania, Jehovha haana kukutuma, asi iwe unotendisa vanhu ava nhema.
15And 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.
16Naizvozvo zvanzi naJehovha, Tarira, ndichakudzinga pasi pose; uchafa nhaka, nekuti wakataura zvinomukira Jehovha.
16Therefore thus said Jehovah, Lo, I am casting thee from off the face of the ground; this year thou diest, for apostacy thou hast spoken concerning Jehovah.`
17Naizvozvo muporofita Hanania wakafa negore iro nomwedzi wechinomwe.
17And Hananiah the prophet dieth in that year, in the seventh month.
