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:

It happened in that year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year and the fifth month, Hananiah son of Azzur the prophet, who was from Gibeon, spoke to me in Yahweh's house in front of the priests and all the people. He said,

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

“Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this: I have broken the yoke imposed by 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 years I will bring back to this place all the objects belonging to Yahweh's house that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took from this place and transported 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».

Then I will bring back to this place Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and all the captives of Judah who were sent to Babylon—this is Yahweh's declaration—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:

So Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Hananiah the prophet in front of the priests and to all the people who stood in Yahweh's house.

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

Jeremiah the prophet said, “May Yahweh do this! May Yahweh confirm the words that you prophesied and bring back to this place the objects belonging to Yahweh's house, and all the captives from Babylon.

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

However, listen to the word that I am proclaiming in your hearing and in the hearing 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 existed before me and you from long ago also prophesied about many nations and against great kingdoms, about war, famine, and plague.

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

So the prophet who prophesies that there will be peace—if his word comes true, then it will be known that he is indeed a prophet sent out by Yahweh.”

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

But Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet 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.

Then Hananiah spoke in front of all the people and said, “Yahweh says this: Just like this, within two years I will break from off the neck of every nation the yoke imposed by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.” Then Jeremiah the prophet went on his way.

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

After Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, saying,

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

“Go and speak to Hananiah and say, 'Yahweh says this: You broke a yoke of wood, but I will make instead 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 Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this: I have placed a yoke of iron on the neck of all of these nations to serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and they will serve him. I have also given him the wild beasts in the fields to rule over.”

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.

Next Jeremiah the prophet said to Hananiah the prophet, “Listen Hananiah! Yahweh has not sent you, but you yourself have caused this people to believe in lies.

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

So Yahweh says this: Look, I am about to send you out from the earth. You will die this year, since you proclaimed rebellion against Yahweh.”

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

In the seventh month of that same year, Hananiah the prophet died.
