Jeremiah 28

1 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,

Et factum est in anno illo, in principio regni Sedechiae regis Iuda, in anno quarto, in mense quinto, dixit ad me Hananias filius Azur propheta de Gabaon, in domo Domini coram sacerdotibus et omni populo, dicens:

2 “The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says, ‘I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.

Haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Contrivi iugum regis Babylonis.

3 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.

Adhuc duo anni dierum, et ego referri faciam ad locum istum omnia vasa domus Domini, quae tulit Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis de loco isto, et transtulit ea in Babylonem.

4 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.’”

Et Iechoniam filium Ioakim regem Iuda, et omnem transmigrationem Iuda, qui ingressi sunt in Babylonem, ego convertam ad locum istum, ait Dominus: conteram enim iugum regis Babylonis.

5 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,

Et dixit Ieremias propheta ad Hananiam prophetam in oculis sacerdotum, et in oculis omnis populi, qui stabat in domo Domini.

6 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.

et ait Ieremias propheta: Amen, sic faciat Dominus: suscitet Dominus verba tua, quae prophetasti: ut referantur vasa in domum Domini, et omnis transmigratio de Babylone ad locum istum.

7 Nevertheless listen now to this word that I speak in your ears, and in the ears of all the people:

Verumtamen audi verbum hoc, quod ego loquor in auribus tuis, et in auribus universi populi:

8 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.

Prophetae, qui fuerunt ante me et ante te ab initio, et prophetaverunt super terras multas, et super regna magna de praelio, et de afflictione, et de fame.

9 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.”

Propheta, qui vaticinatus est pacem: cum venerit verbum eius, scietur propheta, quem misit Dominus in veritate.

10 Then Hananiah the prophet took the bar from off the prophet Jeremiah’s neck, and broke it.

Et tulit Hananias propheta catenam de collo Ieremiae prophetae, et confregit eam.

11 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.

Et ait Hananias in conspectu omnis populi, dicens: Haec dicit Dominus: Sic confringam iugum Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis post duos annos dierum de collo omnium gentium.

12 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,

Et abiit Ieremias propheta in viam suam. Et factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam, postquam confregit Hananias propheta catenam de collo Ieremiae prophetae, dicens:

13 “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.”

Vade, et dices Hananiae: Haec dicit Dominus: Catenas ligneas contrivisti: et facies pro eis catenas ferreas.

14 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.”’”

Quia haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Iugum ferreum posui super collum cunctarum Gentium istarum, ut serviant Nabuchodonosor regi Babylonis, et servient ei: insuper et bestias terrae dedi ei.

15 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.

Et dixit Ieremias propheta ad Hananiam prophetam: Audi Hanania: non misit te Dominus, et tu confidere fecisti populum istum in mendacio.

16 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.’”

Idcirco haec dicit Dominus: Ecce ego mittam te a facie terrae: hoc anno morieris: adversum enim Dominum locutus es.

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

Et mortuus est Hananias propheta in anno illo, mense septimo.
