Jeremiah 28

1 It happened the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, that Hananiah the son of Azzur, the prophet, who was of Gibeon, spoke to me in the house of YHWH, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,

١ وَفِي الشَّهْرِ الْخَامِسِ مِنَ السَّنَةِ الرَّابِعَةِ فِي مُسْتَهَلِّ حُكْمِ صِدْقِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، قَالَ لِي حَنَنِيَّا بْنُ عَزُورَ النَّبِيُّ الْكَاذِبُ، الَّذِي مِنْ جِبْعُونَ، فِي حُضُورِ الْكَهَنَةِ وَكُلِّ الشَّعْبِ الْمُجْتَمِعِينَ فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ:

2 "Thus speaks YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, 'I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.

٢ «هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: إِنِّي قَدْ حَطَّمْتُ نِيرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ.

3 Within two full years will I bring again into this place all the vessels of YHWH's house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried to Babylon:

٣ وَبَعْدَ عَامَيْنِ أَرُدُّ إِلَى هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ كُلَّ آنِيَةِ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ الَّتِي اسْتَوْلَى عَلَيْهَا نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَكَانِ وَحَمَلَهَا إِلَى بَابِلَ.

4 and 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 YHWH; 'for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.'"

٤ وَأَرُدُّ إِلَى هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ يَكُنْيَا بْنَ يَهُويَاقِيمَ مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا، وَكُلَّ سَبْيِ يَهُوذَا الَّذِينَ نُفُوا إِلَى بَابِلَ، لأَنِّي سَأُحَطِّمُ نِيرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ».

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 house of YHWH,

٥ عِنْدَئِذٍ قَالَ إِرْمِيَا النَّبِيُّ لِحَنَنِيَّا الْمُتَنَبِّئِ أَمَامَ الْكَهَنَةِ وَسَائِرِ الشَّعْبِ الْمَاثِلِ فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ:

6 even the prophet Jeremiah said, "Amen: YHWH do so; YHWH perform your words which you have prophesied, to bring back the vessels of YHWH's house, and all them of the captivity, from Babylon to this place.

٦ «آمِينَ. لِيُحَقِّقِ الرَّبُّ هَذَا، وَلْيُتَمِّمِ الرَّبُّ كَلامَكَ الَّذِي تَنَبَّأْتَ بِهِ، وَيَرُدَّ آنِيَةَ هَيْكَلِهِ وَكُلَّ الْمَسْبِيِّينَ مِنْ بَابِلَ إِلَى هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ.

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

٧ لَكِنْ أَصْغِ إِلَى هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَةِ الَّتِي أَنْطِقُ بِها عَلَى مَسْمَعِكَ وَعَلَى مَسَامِعِ الشَّعْبِ كُلِّهِ:

8 The prophets who have been before me and before you of old prophesied against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence.

٨ إِنَّ الأَنْبِيَاءَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا قَبْلِي وَقَبْلَكَ فِي الأَزْمِنَةِ السَّالِفَةِ، تَنَبَّأُوا عَلَى بُلْدَانٍ كَثِيرَةٍ وَمَمَالِكَ عَظِيمَةٍ بِالْحُرُوبِ وَالْجُوعِ وَالْوَبَاءِ،

9 The prophet who prophesies of peace, when the word of the prophet shall happen, then shall the prophet be known, that YHWH has truly sent him."

٩ أَمَّا النَّبِيُّ الَّذِي تَنَبَّأَ بِالسَّلامِ، فَعِنْدَ تَحَقُّقِ نُبُوءَتِهِ يُعْرَفُ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ أَرْسَلَهُ حَقّاً».

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

١٠ فَأَخَذَ حَنَنِيَّا الْمُتَنَبِّئُ الْكَاذِبُ النِّيرَ عَنْ عُنُقِ إِرْمِيَا النَّبِيِّ وَحَطَّمَهُ،

11 Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, "Thus says YHWH: 'Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon within two full years from off the neck of all the nations.'" The prophet Jeremiah went his way.

١١ وَقَالَ أَمَامَ كُلِّ الشَّعْبِ: «هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: هَكَذَا أُحَطِّمُ نِيرَ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ بَعْدَ عَامَيْنِ عَنْ أَعْنَاقِ جَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ». ثُمَّ مَضَى إِرْمِيَا النَّبِيُّ فِي سَبِيلِهِ.

12 Then the word of YHWH came to Jeremiah, after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the bar from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,

١٢ وَبَعْدَ أَنْ حَطَّمَ حَنَنِيَّا الْمُتَنَبِّئُ الْكَاذِبُ النِّيرَ عَنْ عُنُقِ إِرْمِيَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ لإِرْمِيَا النَّبِيِّ:

13 "Go, and tell Hananiah, saying, 'Thus says YHWH: You have broken the bars of wood; but you have made in their place bars of iron.

١٣ «اذْهَبْ وَقُلْ لِحَنَنِيَّا: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: أَنْتَ حَطَّمْتَ أَنْيَارَ خَشَبٍ، وَلَكِنِّي أَعْدَدْتُ مَكَانَهَا أَنْيَاراً مِنْ حَدِيدٍ.

14 For thus says YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel: "I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him: and I have given him the animals of the field also."'"

١٤ لأَنَّ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: إِنِّي قَدْ وَضَعْتُ نِيراً مِنْ حَدِيدٍ عَلَى أَعْنَاقِ جَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ لَتُسْتَعْبَدَ لِنَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، فَيَكُونُونَ لَهُ عَبِيداً وَقَدْ عَهِدْتُ إِلَيْهِ أَيْضاً بِحَيَوَانِ الْحَقْلِ».

15 Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, "Hear now, Hananiah: YHWH has not sent you; but you make this people to trust in a lie.

١٥ وَأَضَافَ إِرْمِيَا النَّبِيُّ مُخَاطِباً حَنَنِيَّا الْمُتَنَبِّئَ: «اسْمَعْ يَا حَنَنِيَّا، هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: إِنَّ الرَّبَّ لَمْ يَبْعَثْكَ، وَأَنْتَ جَعَلْتَ هَذَا الشَّعْبَ يُصَدِّقُ كَذِبَكَ.

16 Therefore thus says YHWH, 'Look, I will send you away from off the surface of the earth: this year you shall die, because you have spoken rebellion against YHWH.'"

١٦ لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا يُعْلِنُ الرَّبُّ: هَا أَنَا أُبِيدُكَ عَنْ وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ فَتَمُوتُ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ لأَنَّكَ نَطَقْتَ بِالتَّمَرُّدِ عَلَى الرَّبِّ».

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

١٧ وَفِي الشَّهْرِ السَّابِعِ مِنْ تِلْكَ السَّنَةِ عَيْنِهَا مَاتَ حَنَنِيَّا.
