Jeremiah 28

1 And it came about in that year, when Zedekiah first became king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, that Hananiah, the son of Azzur the prophet, who came from Gibeon, said to Jeremiah in the house of the Lord, before the priests and all the people,

١ 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:

2 These are the words of the Lord of armies, the God of Israel: By me the yoke of the king of Babylon has been broken.

٢ «هَكَذَا تَكَلَّمَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلًا: قَدْ كَسَرْتُ نِيرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ.

3 In the space of two years I will send back into this place all the vessels of the Lord's house which Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, took away from this place to Babylon:

٣ فِي سَنَتَيْنِ مِنَ ٱلزَّمَانِ أَرُدُّ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ كُلَّ آنِيَةِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّتِي أَخَذَهَا نَبُوخَذْنَاصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ، وَذَهَبَ بِهَا إِلَى بَابِلَ.

4 And I will let Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, come back to this place, with all the prisoners of Judah who went to Babylon, says the Lord: for I will have the yoke of the king of Babylon broken.

٤ وَأَرُدُّ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ يَكُنْيَا بْنَ يَهُويَاقِيمَ مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا وَكُلَّ سَبْيِ يَهُوذَا ٱلَّذِينَ ذَهَبُوا إِلَى بَابِلَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، لِأَنِّي أَكْسِرُ نِيرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ».

5 Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah, before the priests and all the people who had come into the house of the Lord,

٥ فَكَلَّمَ إِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيُّ حَنَنِيَّا ٱلنَّبِيَّ أَمَامَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَأَمَامَ كُلِّ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلْوَاقِفِينَ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ،

6 The prophet Jeremiah said, So be it: may the Lord do so: may the Lord give effect to the words which you have said, and let the vessels of the Lord's house, and all the people who have been taken away, come back from Babylon to this place.

٦ وَقَالَ إِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيُّ: «آمِينَ. هَكَذَا لِيَصْنَعِ ٱلرَّبُّ. لِيُقِمِ ٱلرَّبُّ كَلَامَكَ ٱلَّذِي تَنَبَّأْتَ بِهِ، فَيَرُدَّ آنِيَةَ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَكُلَّ ٱلسَّبْيِ مِنْ بَابِلَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ.

7 But still, give ear to this word which I am saying to you and to all the people:

٧ وَلَكِنِ ٱسْمَعْ هَذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ ٱلَّتِي أَتَكَلَّمُ أَنَا بِهَا فِي أُذُنَيْكَ وَفِي آذَانِ كُلِّ ٱلشَّعْبِ.

8 The prophets, who were before me and before you, from early times gave word to a number of countries and great kingdoms about war and destruction and disease.

٨ إِنَّ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا قَبْلِي وَقَبْلَكَ مُنْذُ ٱلْقَدِيمِ وَتَنَبَّأُوا عَلَى أَرَاضٍ كَثِيرَةٍ وَعَلَى مَمَالِكَ عَظِيمَةٍ بِٱلْحَرْبِ وَٱلشَّرِّ وَٱلْوَبَإِ.

9 The prophet whose words are of peace, when his words come true, will be seen to be a prophet whom the Lord has sent.

٩ ٱلنَّبِيُّ ٱلَّذِي تَنَبَّأَ بِٱلسَّلَامِ، فَعِنْدَ حُصُولِ كَلِمَةِ ٱلنَّبِيِّ عُرِفَ ذَلِكَ ٱلنَّبِيُّ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ أَرْسَلَهُ حَقًّا».

10 Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from the neck of the prophet Jeremiah and it was broken by his hands.

١٠ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ حَنَنِيَّا ٱلنَّبِيُّ ٱلنِّيرَ عَنْ عُنُقِ إِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيِّ وَكَسَرَهُ.

11 And before all the people Hananiah said, The Lord has said, Even so will I let the yoke of the king of Babylon be broken off the necks of all the nations in the space of two years. Then the prophet Jeremiah went away.

١١ 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.

12 Then after the yoke had been broken off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah by Hananiah the prophet, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,

١٢ ثُمَّ صَارَ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيِّ، بَعْدَ مَا كَسَرَ حَنَنِيَّا ٱلنَّبِيُّ ٱلنِّيرَ عَنْ عُنُقِ إِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيِّ، قَائِلًا:

13 Go and say to Hananiah, This is what the Lord has said: Yokes of wood have been broken by you, but in their place I will make yokes of iron.

١٣ «ٱذْهَبْ وَكَلِّمْ حَنَنِيَّا قَائِلًا: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: قَدْ كَسَرْتَ أَنْيَارَ ٱلْخَشَبِ وَعَمِلْتَ عِوَضًا عَنْهَا أَنْيَارًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ.

14 For the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: I have put a yoke of iron on the necks of all these nations, making them servants to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon; and they are to be his servants: and in addition I have given him the beasts of the field.

١٤ 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».

15 Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, Give ear, now, Hananiah; the Lord has not sent you; but you are making this people put their faith in what is false.

١٥ فَقَالَ إِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيُّ لِحَنَنِيَّا ٱلنَّبِيِّ: «ٱسْمَعْ يَا حَنَنِيَّا. إِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ لَمْ يُرْسِلْكَ، وَأَنْتَ قَدْ جَعَلْتَ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبَ يَتَّكِلُ عَلَى ٱلْكَذِبِ.

16 For this reason the Lord has said, See, I will send you away from off the face of the earth: this year death will overtake you, because you have said words against the Lord.

١٦ لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا طَارِدُكَ عَنْ وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. هَذِهِ ٱلسَّنَةَ تَمُوتُ، لِأَنَّكَ تَكَلَّمْتَ بِعِصْيَانٍ عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ».

17 So death came to Hananiah the prophet the same year, in the seventh month.

١٧ فَمَاتَ حَنَنِيَّا ٱلنَّبِيُّ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلسَّنَةِ فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلسَّابِعِ.
