1 I taua tau, i te timatanga o te kingitanga o Terekia kingi o Hura, i te wha o nga tau, i te rima o nga marama, ka korero a Hanania poropiti tama a Aturu, he tangata no Kipeono, ki ahau i roto i te whare o Ihowa, i te aroaro o nga tohunga ratou ko te iwi katoa; i mea ia,

2 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira, e ki ana ia, Kua whati i ahau te ioka a te kingi o Papurona.

3 E kore e tutuki rawa nga tau e rua, ka whakahokia mai e ahau ki tenei wahi nga oko katoa o te whare o Ihowa i maua atu e Nepukaneha kingi o Papurona i tenei wahi, i kawea atu e ia ki Papurona:

4 A ka whakahokia mai e ahau ki tenei wahi a Hekonia tama a Iehoiakimi kingi o Hura, ratou ko nga whakarau katoa o Hura i haere nei ki Papurona, e ai ta Ihowa: no te mea ka whati i ahau te ioka a te kingi o Papurona.

5 Katahi ka mea atu a Heremaia poropiti ki a Hanania poropiti i te aroaro o nga tohunga, i te aroaro ano o te iwi katoa e tu ana i te whare o Ihowa,

6 I mea taua Heremaia poropiti, Amine: kia pena mai ano a Ihowa: kia mahia hoki e Ihowa au kupu i poropititia na e koe mo nga oko o te whare o Ihowa, mo nga whakarau katoa hoki, ka whakahokia mai i Papurona ki tenei wahi.

7 Otiia kia rongo mai koe inaianei ki tenei kupu e korerotia nei e ahau ki ou taringa, ki nga taringa ano o te iwi katoa:

8 Ko nga poropiti i mua atu i ahau, i mua atu hoki i a koe, i mua noa atu, i poropititia e ratou he he mo nga whenua maha, mo nga kingitanga nunui, he whawhai, he kino, he mate uruta.

9 Ko te poropiti e poropiti ana i te rongo mau, ki te tutuki te kupu a te poropiti, hei reira ka mohiotia taua poropiti, he pono na Ihowa ia i unga mai.

10 Katahi ka mau a Hanania poropiti ki te ioka i te kaki o Heremaia poropiti, wahia ana e ia.

11 A ka korero a Hanania poropiti i te aroaro o te iwi katoa, ka mea, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Ka peneitia e ahau te wahi atu i te ioka a Nepukaneha kingi o Papurona i roto i nga ra o nga taua e rua i te kaki o nga iwi katoa. Na haere ana a Herema ia poropiti i tona ara.

12 Katahi ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a Heremaia i muri i te wawahanga a Hanania poropiti i te ioka i te kaki o Heremaia poropiti, a ka mea ia,

13 Haere, korero ki a Hanania, mea atu, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Kua wahia e koe nga ioka rakau; otira me hanga e koe etahi ioka rino hei whakakapi mo ena.

14 Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira: Kua whakanohoia e ahau he ioka rino ki te kaki o enei iwi katoa, kia mahi ai ratou ki a Nepukaneha kingi o Papurona: ina, ka mahi ratou ki a ia; kua hoatu ano e ahau nga kirehe o te parae ki a ia.

15 Katahi ka mea te poropiti, a Heremaia, ki te poropiti, ki a Hanania, Whakarongo mai, e Hanania; ehara koe i a Ihowa i unga; kua mea ia koe i tenei iwi kia whakawhirinaki ki te teka.

16 Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Nana, ka peia atu koe e ahau i te mata o te oneone: i tenei tau ano ka mate koe, no te mea kua korero koe i te tutu ki a Ihowa.

17 Na i taua tau ano ka mate a Hanania i te whitu o nga marama.

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, spake unto me in the house of Jehovah, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying, 2 Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon. 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: 4 and I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, 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.

5 Then the prophet Jeremiah said 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, 6 even the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen: Jehovah do so; Jehovah perform thy words which thou hast prophesied, to bring again the vessels of Jehovah’s house, and all them of the captivity, from Babylon unto this place. 7 Nevertheless hear thou now this word that I speak in thine ears, and in the ears of all the people: 8 The prophets that have been before me and before thee of old prophesied against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence. 9 The prophet that prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that Jehovah hath truly sent him. 10 Then Hananiah the prophet took the bar from off the prophet Jeremiah’s neck, and brake it. 11 And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith Jehovah: Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon within two full years from off the neck of all the nations. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way.

12 Then the word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah, after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the bar from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying, 13 Go, and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah: Thou hast broken the bars of wood; but thou hast made in their stead bars of iron. 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. 15 Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah: Jehovah hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie. 16 Therefore thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will send thee away from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast spoken rebellion against Jehovah. 17 So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.
