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：「
That same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, Hananiah the son of Azzur, the prophet, who was of Gibeon, spoke to me in the LORD’s house, in the presence of the priests and of 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。
“The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says, ‘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 full years I will bring again into this place all the vessels of the LORD’s house that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place and carried 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。」
I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah, who went to Babylon,’ says the LORD; ‘for I will 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。
Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people who stood in the LORD’s house,
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!
even the prophet Jeremiah said, “Amen! May the LORD do so. May the LORD perform your words which you have prophesied, to bring again the vessels of the LORD’s house, and all those who are captives, 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：
Nevertheless listen now to this word that I speak 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 of old prophesied against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, of evil, 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。
As for the prophet who prophesies of peace, when the word of the prophet happens, then the prophet will be known, that the LORD has truly sent him.”
10 哈納尼雅先知便從耶肋米亞先知頸上取下木軛，折斷了，
Then Hananiah the prophet took the bar from off the prophet Jeremiah’s neck, and broke 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。
Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, “The LORD says: ‘Even so I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from off the neck of all the nations within two full years.’” Then the prophet Jeremiah went 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：「
Then the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah, after Hananiah the prophet had broken the bar from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, 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 tell Hananiah, saying, ‘The LORD says, “You have broken the bars of wood, but you have made in their place bars of iron.”
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 the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel says, “I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they will serve him. I have also given him the animals of the field.”’”
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。
Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, “Listen, Hananiah! The LORD has not sent you, but you make this people trust in a lie.
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 the LORD says, ‘Behold, I will send you away from off the surface of the earth. This year you will die, because you have spoken rebellion against the LORD.’”
17 哈納尼雅先知就死在那年七月。
So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.
