< Jeremiah 28 >

1 And it was - in the year that in [the] beginning of [the] reign of Zedekiah [the] king of Judah (in the year *Q(K)*) fourth in the month fifth he said to me Hananiah [the] son of Azzur the prophet who [was] from Gibeon in [the] house of Yahweh to [the] eyes of the priests and all the people saying.
And it comes to pass, in that year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, Hananiah son of Azur the prophet, who [is] of Gibeon, has spoken to me in the house of YHWH, before the eyes of the priests, and all the people, saying,
2 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel saying I will break [the] yoke of [the] king of Babylon.
“Thus spoke YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon;
3 In yet - two years days I [will] bring back to the place this all [the] articles of [the] house of Yahweh which he took Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon from the place this and he brought them Babylon.
within two years of days I am bringing back to this place all the vessels of the house of YHWH that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has taken from this place, and carries to Babylon,
4 And Jeconiah [the] son of Jehoiakim [the] king of Judah and all [the] exile[s] of Judah who went Babylon towards I [will] bring back to the place this [the] utterance of Yahweh that I will break [the] yoke of [the] king of Babylon.
and Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and all the expulsion of Judah, who are entering Babylon, I am bringing back to this place—a declaration of YHWH; for I break the yoke of the king of Babylon.”
5 And he said Jeremiah the prophet to Hananiah the prophet to [the] eyes of the priests and to [the] eyes of all the people who were standing in [the] house of Yahweh.
And Jeremiah the prophet says to Hananiah the prophet, before the eyes of the priests, and before the eyes of all the people who are standing in the house of YHWH,
6 And he said Jeremiah the prophet amen thus may he do Yahweh may he carry out Yahweh words your which you have prophesied by bringing back [the] articles of [the] house of Yahweh and all the exile[s] from Babylon to the place this.
indeed, Jeremiah the prophet says, “Amen! So may YHWH do; YHWH establish your words that you have prophesied, to bring back the vessels of the house of YHWH and all the expulsion from Babylon, to this place.
7 Nevertheless listen to please the word this which I [am] about to speak in ears your and in [the] ears of all the people.
Only, please hear this word that I am speaking in your ears, and in the ears of all the people.
8 The prophets who they were before me and before you from antiquity and they prophesied against lands many and on kingdoms great of war and of calamity and of pestilence.
The prophets who have been before me, and before you, from of old, even they prophesy concerning many lands, and concerning great kingdoms, of battle, and of calamity, and of pestilence.
9 The prophet who he prophesies of peace when comes [the] word of the prophet he will be recognized the prophet whom he sent him Yahweh in truth.
The prophet who prophesies of peace, by the word of the prophet coming to pass, the prophet is known [as] one whom YHWH has truly sent.”
10 And he took Hananiah the prophet the yoke-bar from on [the] neck of Jeremiah the prophet and he broke it.
And Hananiah the prophet takes the yoke from off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, and breaks it,
11 And he said Hananiah to [the] eyes of all the people saying thus he says Yahweh thus I will break [the] yoke of - Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon in yet two years days (from on *L(abh)*) [the] neck of all the nations and he went Jeremiah the prophet to way his.
and Hananiah speaks before the eyes of all the people, saying, “Thus said YHWH: Thus I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, within two years of days, from off the neck of all the nations”; and Jeremiah the prophet goes on his way.
12 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jeremiah after broke Hananiah the prophet the yoke-bar from on [the] neck of Jeremiah the prophet saying.
And there is a word of YHWH to Jeremiah after the breaking, by Hananiah the prophet, of the yoke from off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
13 Go and you will say to Hananiah saying thus he says Yahweh yoke-bars of wood you have broken and you will make in place of them yoke-bars of iron.
“Go, and you have spoken to Hananiah, saying, Thus said YHWH: You have broken yokes of wood, and I have made yokes of iron instead of them.
14 For thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel a yoke of iron I have put on [the] neck of - all the nations these to serve Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon and they will serve him and also [the] animal[s] of the field I have given to him.
For thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations to serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and they have served him, and I have also given the beast of the field to him.”
15 And he said Jeremiah the prophet to Hananiah the prophet listen please O Hananiah not he sent you Yahweh and you you have made rely the people this on falsehood.
And Jeremiah the prophet says to Hananiah the prophet, “Now hear, O Hananiah; YHWH has not sent you, and you have caused this people to trust on falsehood.
16 Therefore thus he says Yahweh here I [am] about to cast out you from on [the] surface of the ground this year you [will] die for rebellion you have spoken against Yahweh.
Therefore, thus said YHWH: Behold, I am casting you from off the face of the ground; you die this year, for you have spoken apostasy concerning YHWH.”
17 And he died Hananiah the prophet in the year that in the month seventh.
And Hananiah the prophet dies in that year, in the seventh month.
