耶利米書 28
1 同年，即猶大王漆德克雅即位之初第四年五月，基貝紅人阿組爾的兒子哈納尼雅先知，在上主殿裏當著司祭和全體人民對我說：「
And it comes to pass, in that year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, Hananiah son of Azur the prophet, who [is] of Gibeon, has spoken to me in the house of YHWH, before the eyes of the priests, and all the people, saying,
2 萬軍的上主，以色列的天主這樣說：我已折斷了巴比倫王的軛。
“Thus spoke YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon;
3 還有兩年，我就要取回巴比倫王拿步高，由這地取去，帶往巴比倫的一切上主殿的器皿，再放在這地方，
within two years of days I am bringing back to this place all the vessels of the house of YHWH that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has taken from this place, and carries to Babylon,
4 且領回猶大王約雅金的兒子耶苛尼雅及一切流徙至巴比倫的猶大俘虜，再來到這地方──上主的斷語──因為我要折斷巴比倫王的軛。」
and Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and all the expulsion of Judah, who are entering Babylon, I am bringing back to this place—a declaration of YHWH; for I break the yoke of the king of Babylon.”
5 耶肋米亞先知立當著站在上主殿裏的司祭和全體人民，答覆了先知哈納尼雅。
And Jeremiah the prophet says to Hananiah the prophet, before the eyes of the priests, and before the eyes of all the people who are standing in the house of YHWH,
6 耶肋米亞先知說：「盼望是這樣! 惟願上主這樣做! 惟願上主實踐你預言的話，使上主殿宇的器皿和一切俘虜，從巴比倫再回到這地方來!
indeed, Jeremiah the prophet says, “Amen! So may YHWH do; YHWH establish your words that you have prophesied, to bring back the vessels of the house of YHWH and all the expulsion from Babylon, to this place.
7 不過請聽我當面願對你和全體人民要說的這一句話：
Only, please hear this word that I am speaking in your ears, and in the ears of all the people.
8 自古以來，在我和你以前的先知，對多少地區和強盛的王國，曾預言過戰爭，饑饉和瘟疫。
The prophets who have been before me, and before you, from of old, even they prophesy concerning many lands, and concerning great kingdoms, of battle, and of calamity, and of pestilence.
9 至於預言和平的先知，只在這先知的話實現以後，纔可認出這先知確是上主派遣的。
The prophet who prophesies of peace, by the word of the prophet coming to pass, the prophet is known [as] one whom YHWH has truly sent.”
10 哈納尼雅先知便從耶肋米亞先知頸上取下木軛，折斷了，
And Hananiah the prophet takes the yoke from off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, and breaks it,
11 然後對全體人民說：「上主這樣說：還有兩年，我要這樣從一切民族的頸上，折斷巴比倫王拿步高的軛。」於是耶肋米亞先知只得自行離去。
and Hananiah speaks before the eyes of all the people, saying, “Thus said YHWH: Thus I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, within two years of days, from off the neck of all the nations”; and Jeremiah the prophet goes on his way.
12 哈納尼雅先知從耶肋米亞先知頸上取下木軛折斷以後，即有上主的話傳給耶肋米亞說：「
And there is a word of YHWH to Jeremiah after the breaking, by Hananiah the prophet, of the yoke from off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
13 你去告訴哈納尼雅說：上主這樣說：；你折斷了木軛，但我必做鐵軛來代替。
“Go, and you have spoken to Hananiah, saying, Thus said YHWH: You have broken yokes of wood, and I have made yokes of iron instead of them.
14 因為萬軍的上主，以色列的天主這樣說：我要將鐵軛放在這一切民族的頸上，使他們服事拿步高巴比倫王；他們該服事他，因為連田野的走獸我也交給了他。」
For thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations to serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and they have served him, and I have also given the beast of the field to him.”
15 耶肋米亞先知於是對哈納尼雅先知說：「哈納尼雅! 請聽，上主並沒有派遣你，你竟使這人民相信謊言。
And Jeremiah the prophet says to Hananiah the prophet, “Now hear, O Hananiah; YHWH has not sent you, and you have caused this people to trust on falsehood.
16 為此，上主這樣說：看，我要把你趕出地面；今年你必要死，因為你說了背叛上主的話。」
Therefore, thus said YHWH: Behold, I am casting you from off the face of the ground; you die this year, for you have spoken apostasy concerning YHWH.”
17 哈納尼雅先知就死在那年七月。
And Hananiah the prophet dies in that year, in the seventh month.
