UHananiya umemezela obala ukuthi ijoka leBabele lizophuka zingakapheli iminyaka emibili, futhi uphula ugongolo lwejoka likaJeremiya ukuze akufakazele. UJeremiya uphendula ngokuthi Amen, abese ebuya nejoka lensimbi likaBaba wethu esikhundleni salelo lokhuni, futhi atshela uHananiya ukuthi uzokufa ngoba wafundisa abantu ukuthemba amanga. Uyafa.
28 1Ngalowo nyaka, ekuqaleni kokubusa kukaZedekiya inkosi yakwaJuda, ngonyaka wesine, ngenyanga yesihlanu, umprofethi uHananiya indodana ka-Azuri waseGibeyoni wakhuluma kimi endlini kaBaba wethu, phambi kwabapristi nabantu bonke: 2“uSimakade wamabutho asezulwini, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: Ngilephulile ijoka lenkosi yaseBhabhiloni. 3Phakathi neminyaka emibili ngiyakuzibuyisela kule ndawo zonke izitsha zendlu kaSimakade uNebukadinezari inkosi yaseBhabhiloni azithatha lapha wazisa eBhabhiloni. 4UJekoniya indodana kaJehoyakimi, inkosi yakwaJuda, nabo bonke abathunjwa bakwaJuda abayiswa eBhabhiloni ngiyakubabuyisela lapha, kusho uSimakade, ngokuba ngiyakulephula ijoka lenkosi yaseBhabhiloni.”
5UJeremiya umprofethi waphendula uHananiya umprofethi phambi kwabapristi nabantu bonke ababemi endlini kaBaba wethu. 6Umprofethi uJeremiya wathi: “Ameni! Makenze njalo uBaba wethu. Makawaqinise amazwi owaprofethile, ngokubuyisa izitsha zendlu kaBaba wethu nabo bonke abathunjwa bevela eBhabhiloni beza kule ndawo. 7Kodwa lalela manje leli zwi engilikhuluma kuwe nakubo bonke laba bantu: 8Abaprofethi ababengaphambi kwethu endulo baprofetha impi, inhlekelele, nesifo kuzizwe eziningi nasemibusweni emikhulu. 9Umprofethi oprofetha ukuthula uba ngothunywe nguBaba wethu ngempela kuphela lapho izwi lakhe ligcwaliseka.”
10UHananiya umprofethi wathatha ijoka entanyeni kaJeremiya umprofethi walephula, 11UHananiya wakhuluma kubantu bonke wathi: “Usho kanje uSimakade: Ngokunjalo ngiyakulephula ijoka likaNebukadinezari inkosi yaseBhabhiloni entanyeni yazo zonke izizwe phakathi neminyaka emibili.” Wayesehamba uJeremiya umprofethi.
12Emva kokuba uHananiya elephulile ijoka entanyeni kaJeremiya umprofethi, izwi likaBaba wethu lafika kuJeremiya:
13“Hamba, utshele uHananiya uthi: uBaba wethu uthi: Wephule amajoka ezinkuni kodwa uyakwenza awensimbi. 14Ngokuba usho kanje uBaba wamabutho asezulwini, uBaba wethu ka-Israyeli: Ngibeke ijoka lensimbi entanyeni yazo zonke lezi zizwe ukuba zikhonze uNebukadinezari inkosi yaseBhabhiloni, futhi ziyakukhonza. Ngize ngamnika nezilwane zasendle.”
15“UJeremiya umprofethi wathi kuHananiya umprofethi: ‘Lalela, Hananiya! UBaba wethu akakuthumanga; wenze laba bantu bathembe amanga.’ 16Ngakho-ke usho kanje uBaba wethu: Ngiyakususa ebusweni bomhlaba kulo nyaka; uyakufa ngokuba ushumayele ukuhlubuka kuBaba wethu.”
17Wafa-ke uHananiya umprofethi ngalowo nyaka kanye, ngenyanga yesikhombisa.
