< Jeremiah 28 >

1 In the fifth month of that same year, the fourth year, near the beginning of the reign of King Zedekiah of Judah, the prophet Hananiah son of Azzur, who was from Gibeon, said to me in the house of the LORD in the presence of the priests and all the people:
وَحَدَثَ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلسَّنَةِ فِي ٱبْتِدَاءِ مُلْكِ صِدْقِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلرَّابِعَةِ، فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْخَامِسِ، أَنَّ حَنَنِيَّا بْنَ عَزُورَ ٱلنَّبِيَّ ٱلَّذِي مِنْ جِبْعُونَ: كَلَّمَنِي فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ أَمَامَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَكُلِّ ٱلشَّعْبِ قَائِلًا:١
2 “This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
«هَكَذَا تَكَلَّمَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلًا: قَدْ كَسَرْتُ نِيرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ.٢
3 Within two years I will restore to this place all the articles of the house of the LORD that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon removed from here and carried to Babylon.
فِي سَنَتَيْنِ مِنَ ٱلزَّمَانِ أَرُدُّ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ كُلَّ آنِيَةِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّتِي أَخَذَهَا نَبُوخَذْنَاصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ، وَذَهَبَ بِهَا إِلَى بَابِلَ.٣
4 And I will restore to this place Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, along with all the exiles from Judah who went to Babylon,’ declares the LORD, ‘for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.’”
وَأَرُدُّ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ يَكُنْيَا بْنَ يَهُويَاقِيمَ مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا وَكُلَّ سَبْيِ يَهُوذَا ٱلَّذِينَ ذَهَبُوا إِلَى بَابِلَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، لِأَنِّي أَكْسِرُ نِيرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ».٤
5 Then the prophet Jeremiah replied to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests and all the people who were standing in the house of the LORD.
فَكَلَّمَ إِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيُّ حَنَنِيَّا ٱلنَّبِيَّ أَمَامَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَأَمَامَ كُلِّ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلْوَاقِفِينَ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ،٥
6 “Amen!” Jeremiah said. “May the LORD do so! May the LORD fulfill the words you have prophesied, and may He restore the articles of His house and all the exiles back to this place from Babylon.
وَقَالَ إِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيُّ: «آمِينَ. هَكَذَا لِيَصْنَعِ ٱلرَّبُّ. لِيُقِمِ ٱلرَّبُّ كَلَامَكَ ٱلَّذِي تَنَبَّأْتَ بِهِ، فَيَرُدَّ آنِيَةَ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَكُلَّ ٱلسَّبْيِ مِنْ بَابِلَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ.٦
7 Nevertheless, listen now to this message I am speaking in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people.
وَلَكِنِ ٱسْمَعْ هَذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ ٱلَّتِي أَتَكَلَّمُ أَنَا بِهَا فِي أُذُنَيْكَ وَفِي آذَانِ كُلِّ ٱلشَّعْبِ.٧
8 The prophets of old who preceded you and me prophesied war, disaster, and plague against many lands and great kingdoms.
إِنَّ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا قَبْلِي وَقَبْلَكَ مُنْذُ ٱلْقَدِيمِ وَتَنَبَّأُوا عَلَى أَرَاضٍ كَثِيرَةٍ وَعَلَى مَمَالِكَ عَظِيمَةٍ بِٱلْحَرْبِ وَٱلشَّرِّ وَٱلْوَبَإِ.٨
9 As for the prophet who prophesies peace, only if the word of the prophet comes true will the prophet be recognized as one the LORD has truly sent.”
ٱلنَّبِيُّ ٱلَّذِي تَنَبَّأَ بِٱلسَّلَامِ، فَعِنْدَ حُصُولِ كَلِمَةِ ٱلنَّبِيِّ عُرِفَ ذَلِكَ ٱلنَّبِيُّ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ أَرْسَلَهُ حَقًّا».٩
10 Then the prophet Hananiah took the yoke off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet and broke it.
ثُمَّ أَخَذَ حَنَنِيَّا ٱلنَّبِيُّ ٱلنِّيرَ عَنْ عُنُقِ إِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيِّ وَكَسَرَهُ.١٠
11 And in the presence of all the people Hananiah proclaimed, “This is what the LORD says: ‘In this way, within two years I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon off the neck of all the nations.’” At this, Jeremiah the prophet went on his way.
وَتَكَلَّمَ حَنَنِيَّا أَمَامَ كُلِّ ٱلشَّعْبِ قَائِلًا: «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَكَذَا أَكْسِرُ نِيرَ نَبُوخَذْنَاصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ فِي سَنَتَيْنِ مِنَ ٱلزَّمَانِ عَنْ عُنُقِ كُلِّ ٱلشُّعُوبِ». وَٱنْطَلَقَ إِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيُّ فِي سَبِيلِهِ.١١
12 But shortly after Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke off his neck, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
ثُمَّ صَارَ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيِّ، بَعْدَ مَا كَسَرَ حَنَنِيَّا ٱلنَّبِيُّ ٱلنِّيرَ عَنْ عُنُقِ إِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيِّ، قَائِلًا:١٢
13 “Go and tell Hananiah that this is what the LORD says: ‘You have broken a yoke of wood, but in its place you have fashioned a yoke of iron.’
«ٱذْهَبْ وَكَلِّمْ حَنَنِيَّا قَائِلًا: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: قَدْ كَسَرْتَ أَنْيَارَ ٱلْخَشَبِ وَعَمِلْتَ عِوَضًا عَنْهَا أَنْيَارًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ.١٣
14 For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations to make them serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and they will serve him. I have even given him control of the beasts of the field.’”
لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: قَدْ جَعَلْتُ نِيرًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ عَلَى عُنُقِ كُلِّ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ لِيَخْدِمُوا نَبُوخَذْنَاصَّرَ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ، فَيَخْدِمُونَهُ وَقَدْ أَعْطَيْتُهُ أَيْضًا حَيَوَانَ ٱلْحَقْلِ».١٤
15 Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah, “Listen, Hananiah! The LORD did not send you, but you have persuaded this people to trust in a lie.
فَقَالَ إِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيُّ لِحَنَنِيَّا ٱلنَّبِيِّ: «ٱسْمَعْ يَا حَنَنِيَّا. إِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ لَمْ يُرْسِلْكَ، وَأَنْتَ قَدْ جَعَلْتَ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبَ يَتَّكِلُ عَلَى ٱلْكَذِبِ.١٥
16 Therefore this is what the LORD says: ‘I am about to remove you from the face of the earth. You will die this year because you have preached rebellion against the LORD.’”
لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا طَارِدُكَ عَنْ وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. هَذِهِ ٱلسَّنَةَ تَمُوتُ، لِأَنَّكَ تَكَلَّمْتَ بِعِصْيَانٍ عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ».١٦
17 And in the seventh month of that very year, the prophet Hananiah died.
فَمَاتَ حَنَنِيَّا ٱلنَّبِيُّ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلسَّنَةِ فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلسَّابِعِ.١٧
