Jeremiah 28
1 When Zedekiah had been the King of Judah for more than three years, late in the (summer/hot season), Azzur’s son Hananiah, a prophet from Gibeon [city], spoke to me in the [courtyard of the] temple, while [all] the priests and other people were listening. He said,
Nesse mesmo ano, no início do reinado de Zedequias rei de Judá, no quarto ano, no quinto mês, Hananias, filho de Azzur, o profeta, que era de Gibeon, falou comigo na casa de Javé, na presença dos sacerdotes e de todo o povo, dizendo:
2 “This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], says: ‘I will cause the king of Babylon to stop ruling/controlling [MET] [all of you].
“Javé dos Exércitos, o Deus de Israel, diz: 'quebrei o jugo do rei da Babilônia.
3 (Within two years/Before two years have ended), I will cause to be brought bring back to this temple all the valuable things that King Nebuchadnezzar’s [soldiers] took from this temple and took to Babylon.
Dentro de dois anos completos, trarei novamente para este lugar todos os vasos da casa de Iavé que Nabucodonosor, rei da Babilônia, tirou deste lugar e levou para a Babilônia.
4 And I will also cause King Jehoiachin to be brought back here, and all the [other] people who were captured and taken to Babylon. The king of Babylon has [forced you to do what he wants, like someone] puts a yoke [on the neck of an ox to force it to do what he] wants [MET] it to do. But I will cause that to end. [That will happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.’”
trarei novamente a este lugar Jeconias, filho de Jeoiaquim, rei de Judá, com todos os cativos de Judá, que foram para a Babilônia”, diz Javé; “pois quebrarei o jugo do rei da Babilônia”.
5 I replied to Hananiah in front of [all] the priests and other people who were standing outside the temple.
Então o profeta Jeremias disse ao profeta Hananias na presença dos sacerdotes, e na presença de todo o povo que estava na casa de Yahweh,
6 I said, “(Amen/May that happen)! I desire/hope that what you have predicted will happen. I hope/desire that Yahweh will do everything that you have said! I hope/desire that he will cause [men from Babylon] to bring back from Babylon [all] the valuable things that were in this temple, and all the people who were taken [to Babylon].
até o profeta Jeremias disse: “Amém! Que Yahweh o faça. Que Javé faça suas palavras que você profetizou, para trazer novamente os vasos da casa de Javé, e todos aqueles que são cativos, da Babilônia para este lugar.
7 But now listen to what I say to you while all these people are listening.
Não obstante, escutem agora esta palavra que falo aos vossos ouvidos, e aos ouvidos de todo o povo:
8 Many years ago, those who were prophets before you and I [became prophets] spoke messages about many nations and great kingdoms. They predicted/prophesied that wars and disasters and plagues/diseases would occur in those nations.
Os profetas que foram antes de mim e antes de vós de velhos profetizados contra muitos países, e contra grandes reinos, de guerra, de mal e de pestilência.
9 [So now you or] any other prophet who predicts that things will go well [for us must show that your message is correct. Only] if what you predict actually happens will we know that you were truly appointed by Yahweh.”
Quanto ao profeta que profetiza a paz, quando a palavra do profeta acontecer, então o profeta será conhecido, que Iavé o enviou verdadeiramente”.
10 Then Hananiah took the yoke off my neck and broke it.
Então Hananiah, o profeta, tirou a barra do pescoço do profeta Jeremias, e a quebrou.
11 Then he said this to all the people who were there: “This is what Yahweh says: ‘Just like Hananiah has broken this yoke, within two years I will cause King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon to [stop forcing the people to do what he wants, which has been like] a heavy yoke on all their necks [MET].’” After Hananiah said that, I left the temple area.
Hananias falou na presença de todo o povo, dizendo: “Yahweh diz: 'Mesmo assim quebrarei o jugo de Nabucodonosor, rei da Babilônia, do pescoço de todas as nações, dentro de dois anos inteiros'”. Então o profeta Jeremias seguiu seu caminho.
12 [Soon] after Hananiah had broken the yoke that was around my neck, Yahweh gave this message to me:
Então a palavra de Javé veio a Jeremias, depois que Hananias o profeta havia quebrado a barra do pescoço do profeta Jeremias, dizendo:
13 “Go and say this to Hananiah: ‘Yahweh says that you have broken a wooden yoke, but that he will replace it with an iron yoke.
“Vá, e diga a Hananias, dizendo: 'Javé diz: 'Você quebrou as barras de madeira, mas você fez em seu lugar barras de ferro'.
14 I have forced the people of all these nations to [become slaves of] King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. That is [like] [MET] an iron yoke around their necks. I have put everything, even wild animals, under his control.’”
Para Javé dos Exércitos, o Deus de Israel diz: “Coloquei um jugo de ferro no pescoço de todas estas nações, para que sirvam a Nabucodonosor, rei da Babilônia; e eles o servirão”. Eu também lhe dei os animais do campo”””.
15 Then I [went to] Hananiah and said to him, “Hananiah, listen [to this]: Yahweh has not appointed you; instead, [you have told] lies to the people, and they have believed your lies.
Então o profeta Jeremias disse a Hananiah o profeta: “Escuta, Hananiah! Yahweh não o enviou, mas você faz este povo confiar numa mentira.
16 Therefore, this is what Yahweh says: ‘You will [soon] die. Before the end of this year, you will die, because you have rebelled against Yahweh.’”
Portanto, Javé diz: “Eis que eu te mandarei para longe da superfície da terra”. Este ano você morrerá, porque falou de rebelião contra Javé”.
17 Hananiah died two months later.
Então Hananiah, o profeta, morreu no mesmo ano no sétimo mês.
