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 in 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 Azur the prophet, who was of Gibeon, spoke to me 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 saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: “I will break 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 to this place all the vessels of the house of Jehovah, which Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon took from this place, and carried 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 Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and all the captives of Judah that went to Babylon, will I bring again to this place, saith Jehovah; 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 Jeremiah the prophet spake to Hananiah the prophet, in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people that stood in the house of Jehovah.

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

And Jeremiah the prophet said, Amen! So may Jehovah do! May Jehovah fulfill thy words which thou hast prophesied, and bring back the vessels of the house of Jehovah, and all the captives from Babylon to this place!

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

Nevertheless, hear now this word, which 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 who have been before me and before thee from ancient times have also prophesied against many nations, and against great kingdoms, of war, of calamity, and of pestilence.

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

The prophet who prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall he be known as a prophet whom Jehovah hath truly sent.

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

Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from the prophet Jeremiah's neck, and broke 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 Jehovah: In this manner will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, from the neck of all the 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 came the word of Jehovah to Jeremiah, after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from 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: Thou hast broken a yoke of wood, but thou shalt make instead of it a yoke 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 Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: A yoke of iron do I put upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon; and they shall serve him. The beasts of the field also do I give to him.

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.

Jeremiah the prophet said also to Hananiah the prophet: Hear now, Hananiah! Jehovah 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 Jehovah: Behold, I will cast thee off from the face of the earth. This year thou shalt die; for thou hast spoken rebellion against Jehovah.

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

And Hananiah the prophet died in the same year, in the seventh month.
