< 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,
En aquel mismo año, al principio del reinado de Sedequías, en el quinto mes del año cuarto, aconteció que Hananías, hijo de Azur, quien era profeta de Gabaón, me habló en la Casa de Yavé en presencia de los sacerdotes y de todo el pueblo:
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.
Yavé de las huestes, ʼElohim de Israel, habló: ¡Quiebro el yugo del rey de Babilonia!
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:
Dentro de dos años devolveré a este lugar todos los utensilios de la Casa de Yavé, que Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, tomó de este lugar y los llevó a Babilonia.
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.
Jeconías, hijo de Joacim, rey de Judá, regresará a este lugar y todos los exiliados de Judá que fueron a Babilonia, dice Yavé, porque quebraré el yugo del rey de Babilonia.
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,
Entonces el profeta Jeremías respondió al profeta Hananías en presencia de los sacerdotes y de todo pueblo que estaba en pie en la Casa de Yavé.
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.
Y el profeta Jeremías dijo: ¡Amén, así lo haga Yavé! ¡Cumpla Yavé tu profecía y devuelva los utensilios de la Casa de Yavé y todos los cautivos de Babilonia a este lugar!
7 But still, give ear to this word which I am saying to you and to all the people:
Sin embargo, escucha ahora esta palabra que yo hablo a tus oídos y a oídos de todo el pueblo:
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.
Los profetas que llegaron antes de ti y antes de mí, desde antaño profetizaron contra muchas tierras y contra grandes reinos, sobre guerra, calamidad y pestilencia.
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.
El profeta que profetiza paz, cuando se cumpla la palabra de ese profeta, será reconocido como uno que en verdad envió Yavé.
10 Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from the neck of the prophet Jeremiah and it was broken by his hands.
Entonces el profeta Hananías quitó el yugo de la nuca del profeta Jeremías, y lo quebró.
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.
Hananías habló en presencia de todo el pueblo: Yavé dice: Dentro de dos años quebraré el yugo de Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, que llevan en la nuca tantas naciones. Y Jeremías siguió su camino.
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,
Después que el profeta Hananías rompió el yugo que tenía el profeta Jeremías en su nuca, la Palabra de Yavé vino a Jeremías:
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.
Vé, habla a Hananías: Yavé dice: ¡Yugos de madera quebraste, pero en lugar de ellos harás yugos de hierro!
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.
Porque Yavé de las huestes, ʼElohim de Israel, dice: Yo puse un yugo de hierro sobre la nuca de todas estas naciones para que sirvan a Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, y ellas le servirán. También le di los animales del campo.
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.
Entonces el profeta Jeremías dijo al profeta Hananías: ¡Escucha ahora, oh Hananías! Yavé no te envió, y tú quieres que este pueblo confíe en la mentira.
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.
Por tanto Yavé dice: Ciertamente Yo te quito de sobre la superficie de la tierra. Morirás este año, porque hablaste rebelión contra Yavé.
17 So death came to Hananiah the prophet the same year, in the seventh month.
El mes séptimo del mismo año Hananías murió.
