< Jeremiah 28 >

1 This is what happened in the beginning of the reign of King Zedekiah of Judah, in the fifth month of that same year, the fourth year. The prophet Hananiah, son of Azzur, who was from Gibeon, told me in the Lord's Temple in front of the priests and all the people:
この年すなはちユダの王ゼデキヤが位に即し初その四年の五月ギベオンのアズルの子なる預言者ハナニヤ、ヱホバの室にて祭司と凡の民の前にて我に語りいひけるは
2 “This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひたまふ我バビロンの王の軛を摧けり
3 Before two years have passed I'm going to bring back to Jerusalem all the Temple objects that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon removed and took to Babylon.
二年の内にバビロンの王ネブカデネザルがこの處より取てバビロンに携へゆきしヱホバの室の器皿を再び悉くこの處に歸らしめん
4 I will also bring back to Jerusalem Jehoiachin, son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, together with all the exiles from Judah who were taken to Babylon, declares the Lord, because I'm going to break the yoke of the king of Babylon.”
我またユダの王ヱホヤキムの子ヱコニヤおよびバビロンに住しユダのすべての擄人をこの處に歸らしめんそは我バビロンの王の軛を摧くべければなりとヱホバいひたまふ
5 Then the prophet Jeremiah responded to the prophet Hananiah in front of the priests and all the people who were standing in the Lord's Temple.
是に於て預言者ヱレミヤ、ヱホバの家に立る祭司の前とすべての民の前にて預言者ハナニヤと語ふ
6 “Amen!” said Jeremiah. “I wish the Lord would do just that! I wish the Lord would fulfill your prophetic words and bring back Temple objects and all the exiles back to Jerusalem from Babylon.
預言者ヱレミヤすなはちいひけるはアーメン願くはヱホバかくなし給へ願くはバビロンに携へゆかれしヱホバの室の器皿及びすべて虜へうつされし者をヱホバ、バビロンより復びこの處に歸らしめたまはんと汝の預言せし言の成らんことを
7 But even so, pay attention to this message I'm going to tell you and everyone here.
然ど汝いま我なんぢの耳と諸の民の耳に語らんとする此言をきけ
8 The prophets of long ago who came before you and me prophesied war, disaster, and disease against many countries and great kingdoms.
我と汝の先にいでし預言者は古昔より多くの地と大なる國につきて戰鬪と災難と疫病の事を預言せり
9 When it comes to a prophet who prophesies peace, see if their prophecies come true. Only that will prove they are really sent by the Lord.”
泰平を預言するところの預言者は若しその預言者の言とげなばその誠にヱホバの遣したまへる者なること知らるべし
10 Then the prophet Hananiah removed the yoke from the prophet Jeremiah's neck and broke it.
ここに於て預言者ハナニヤ預言者ヱレミヤの項より軛を取てこれを摧けり
11 Hananiah announced in front of everyone, “This is what the Lord says: Just like this, before two years have passed I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all the nations.” Jeremiah the prophet left.
ハナニヤ諸の民の前にて語りヱホバかくいひたまふわれ二年のうちに是の如く萬國民の項よりバビロン王ネブカデネザルの軛を摧きはなさんといふ預言者ヱレミヤ遂に去りぬ
12 However, right after Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from his neck, a message of the Lord came to Jeremiah:
預言者ハナニヤ預言者ヱレミヤの項より軛を摧きはなせし後ヱホバの言ヱレミヤに臨みていふ
13 “Go and tell Hananiah that this is what the Lord says: You may have broken a wooden yoke of wood, but you have replaced it with an iron yoke.
汝ゆきてハナニヤにヱホバかくいふと告よ汝木の軛を摧きたれども之に代て鐵の軛を作れり
14 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I have tied iron yokes on the necks of all these nations to force them to serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and they will serve him. I have even given him control over the wild animals.”
萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいふ我鐵の軛をこの萬國民の項に置きてバビロンの王ネブカデネザルに事へしむ彼ら之につかへんわれ野の獸をもこれに與へたり
15 Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah, “Listen to this, Hananiah! The Lord didn't send you, but you have convinced these people to believe in a lie.
また預言者ヱレミヤ預言者ハナニヤにいひけるはハナニヤよ請ふ聽けヱホバ汝を遣はし給はず汝はこの民に謊を信ぜしむるなり
16 So this is what the Lord says: I'm going to get rid of you from the earth. You will die this year because you have promoted rebellion against the Lord.”
是故にヱホバいひ給ふ我汝を地の面よりのぞかん汝ヱホバに叛くことを敎ふるによりて今年死ぬべしと
17 The prophet Hananiah died in the seventh month of that very year.
預言者ハナニヤはこの年の七月死ねり
