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,

And it happened in the same year, at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year and in the fifth month, that Hananiah the son of Azur the prophet, who was from Gibeon, spoke to me in the house of the Lord in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,

2 K o 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.

“Thus speaks the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying: ‘I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.

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:

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

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.

And I will bring back to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah who went to Babylon,’ says the Lord, ‘for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.’”

5 K atahi 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,

Then the prophet Jeremiah spoke to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests and in the presence of all the people who stood in the house of the Lord,

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.

and the prophet Jeremiah said, “Amen! The Lord do so; the Lord perform your words which you have prophesied, to bring back the vessels of the Lord ’s house and all who were carried away captive, from Babylon to this place.

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

Nevertheless hear now this word that I speak in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people:

8 K o 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.

The prophets who have been before me and before you of old prophesied against many countries and great kingdoms—of war and disaster and pestilence.

9 K o 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.

As for the prophet who prophesies of peace, when the word of the prophet comes to pass, the prophet will be known as one whom the Lord has truly sent.”

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

Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke off the prophet Jeremiah’s neck and broke it.

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.

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

12 K atahi 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,

Now the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, after Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,

13 H aere, 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.

“Go and tell Hananiah, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord: “You have broken the yokes of wood, but you have made in their place yokes of iron.”

14 K o 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.

For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him. I have given him the beasts of the field also.”’”

15 K atahi 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.

Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, “Hear now, Hananiah, the Lord has not sent you, but you make this people trust in a lie.

16 M o 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.

Therefore thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, I will cast you from the face of the earth. This year you shall die, because you have taught rebellion against the Lord.’”

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

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