إرْمِيا 28

١ 1 وَفِي الشَّهْرِ الْخَامِسِ مِنَ السَّنَةِ الرَّابِعَةِ فِي مُسْتَهَلِّ حُكْمِ صِدْقِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، قَالَ لِي حَنَنِيَّا بْنُ عَزُورَ النَّبِيُّ الْكَاذِبُ، الَّذِي مِنْ جِبْعُونَ، فِي حُضُورِ الْكَهَنَةِ وَكُلِّ الشَّعْبِ الْمُجْتَمِعِينَ فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ:

And it came to pass the same year, in 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, which was of Gibeon, spake unto me in the house of Yhwh, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,

٢ 2 «هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: إِنِّي قَدْ حَطَّمْتُ نِيرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ.

Thus speaketh Yhwh of Armies, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.

٣ 3 وَبَعْدَ عَامَيْنِ أَرُدُّ إِلَى هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ كُلَّ آنِيَةِ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ الَّتِي اسْتَوْلَى عَلَيْهَا نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَكَانِ وَحَمَلَهَا إِلَى بَابِلَ.

Within two full years will I bring again into this place all the vessels of Yhwh's house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried them to Babylon:

٤ 4 وَأَرُدُّ إِلَى هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ يَكُنْيَا بْنَ يَهُويَاقِيمَ مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا، وَكُلَّ سَبْيِ يَهُوذَا الَّذِينَ نُفُوا إِلَى بَابِلَ، لأَنِّي سَأُحَطِّمُ نِيرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ».

And I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah, that went into Babylon, saith Yhwh: for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.

٥ 5 عِنْدَئِذٍ قَالَ إِرْمِيَا النَّبِيُّ لِحَنَنِيَّا الْمُتَنَبِّئِ أَمَامَ الْكَهَنَةِ وَسَائِرِ الشَّعْبِ الْمَاثِلِ فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ:

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 Yhwh,

٦ 6 «آمِينَ. لِيُحَقِّقِ الرَّبُّ هَذَا، وَلْيُتَمِّمِ الرَّبُّ كَلامَكَ الَّذِي تَنَبَّأْتَ بِهِ، وَيَرُدَّ آنِيَةَ هَيْكَلِهِ وَكُلَّ الْمَسْبِيِّينَ مِنْ بَابِلَ إِلَى هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ.

Even the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen: Yhwh do so: Yhwh perform thy words which thou hast prophesied, to bring again the vessels of Yhwh's house, and all that is carried away captive, from Babylon into this place.

٧ 7 لَكِنْ أَصْغِ إِلَى هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَةِ الَّتِي أَنْطِقُ بِها عَلَى مَسْمَعِكَ وَعَلَى مَسَامِعِ الشَّعْبِ كُلِّهِ:

Nevertheless hear thou now this word that I speak in thine ears, and in the ears of all the people;

٨ 8 إِنَّ الأَنْبِيَاءَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا قَبْلِي وَقَبْلَكَ فِي الأَزْمِنَةِ السَّالِفَةِ، تَنَبَّأُوا عَلَى بُلْدَانٍ كَثِيرَةٍ وَمَمَالِكَ عَظِيمَةٍ بِالْحُرُوبِ وَالْجُوعِ وَالْوَبَاءِ،

The prophets that have been before me and before thee of old prophesied both against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence.

٩ 9 أَمَّا النَّبِيُّ الَّذِي تَنَبَّأَ بِالسَّلامِ، فَعِنْدَ تَحَقُّقِ نُبُوءَتِهِ يُعْرَفُ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ أَرْسَلَهُ حَقّاً».

The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that Yhwh hath truly sent him.

١٠ 10 فَأَخَذَ حَنَنِيَّا الْمُتَنَبِّئُ الْكَاذِبُ النِّيرَ عَنْ عُنُقِ إِرْمِيَا النَّبِيِّ وَحَطَّمَهُ،

Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah’s neck, and brake it.

١١ 11 وَقَالَ أَمَامَ كُلِّ الشَّعْبِ: «هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: هَكَذَا أُحَطِّمُ نِيرَ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ بَعْدَ عَامَيْنِ عَنْ أَعْنَاقِ جَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ». ثُمَّ مَضَى إِرْمِيَا النَّبِيُّ فِي سَبِيلِهِ.

And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith Yhwh; Even so will I 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.

١٢ 12 وَبَعْدَ أَنْ حَطَّمَ حَنَنِيَّا الْمُتَنَبِّئُ الْكَاذِبُ النِّيرَ عَنْ عُنُقِ إِرْمِيَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ لإِرْمِيَا النَّبِيِّ:

Then the word of Yhwh came unto Jeremiah the prophet, after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,

١٣ 13 «اذْهَبْ وَقُلْ لِحَنَنِيَّا: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: أَنْتَ حَطَّمْتَ أَنْيَارَ خَشَبٍ، وَلَكِنِّي أَعْدَدْتُ مَكَانَهَا أَنْيَاراً مِنْ حَدِيدٍ.

Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith Yhwh; Thou hast broken the yokes of wood; but thou shalt make for them yokes of iron.

١٤ 14 لأَنَّ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: إِنِّي قَدْ وَضَعْتُ نِيراً مِنْ حَدِيدٍ عَلَى أَعْنَاقِ جَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ لَتُسْتَعْبَدَ لِنَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، فَيَكُونُونَ لَهُ عَبِيداً وَقَدْ عَهِدْتُ إِلَيْهِ أَيْضاً بِحَيَوَانِ الْحَقْلِ».

For thus saith Yhwh of Armies, 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.

١٥ 15 وَأَضَافَ إِرْمِيَا النَّبِيُّ مُخَاطِباً حَنَنِيَّا الْمُتَنَبِّئَ: «اسْمَعْ يَا حَنَنِيَّا، هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: إِنَّ الرَّبَّ لَمْ يَبْعَثْكَ، وَأَنْتَ جَعَلْتَ هَذَا الشَّعْبَ يُصَدِّقُ كَذِبَكَ.

Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; Yhwh hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie.

١٦ 16 لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا يُعْلِنُ الرَّبُّ: هَا أَنَا أُبِيدُكَ عَنْ وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ فَتَمُوتُ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ لأَنَّكَ نَطَقْتَ بِالتَّمَرُّدِ عَلَى الرَّبِّ».

Therefore thus saith Yhwh; Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast taught rebellion against Yhwh.

١٧ 17 وَفِي الشَّهْرِ السَّابِعِ مِنْ تِلْكَ السَّنَةِ عَيْنِهَا مَاتَ حَنَنِيَّا.

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