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,
Och i det samma året, uti Zedekia, Juda Konungs, rikes begynnelse, i femte månadenom af fjerde årena, talade Hanania, Assurs son, en Prophet af Gibeon, till mig uti Herrans hus, i Presternas och allt folkens närvaro, och sade:
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].
Detta säger Herren Zebaoth, Israels Gud: Jag hafver sönderbrutit Konungens ok i Babel.
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.
Och förr än tu år förlidna äro, skall jag låta åter igenkomma till detta rummet alla Herrans hus kärile, hvilka NebucadNezar, Konungen i Babel, hädantagit och till Babel fört hafver.
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.’”
Dertill skall jag ock låta Jechonia, Jojakims son, Juda Konung, samt med alla fångar af Juda, som till Babel förde äro, komma till detta rummet igen, säger Herren; ty jag skall sönderbryta Konungens ok i Babel.
5 I replied to Hananiah in front of [all] the priests and other people who were standing outside the temple.
Då svarade Propheten Jeremia till den Propheten Hanania, uti Presternas och allt folkens närvaro, som i Herrans hus stodo;
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].
Och sade: Amen! Herren göre alltså; Herren stadfäste din ord, som du spått hafver, att han låter Herrans hus kärile, samt med alla fångna, komma till detta rummet igen.
7 But now listen to what I say to you while all these people are listening.
Men hör dock likväl detta ordet, som jag för din öron, och allt folkens öron, talar:
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.
De Propheter, som för mig och för dig varit hafva af ålder, de hafva propheterat emot mång land och stor rike, om örlig, om olycko, och om pestilentie.
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.”
Men när en Prophet propheterar om frid, så varder man kännandes, om Herren honom i sanningene sändt hafver, då hans ord fullkomnad varda.
10 Then Hananiah took the yoke off my neck and broke it.
Då tog Hanania oket af Prophetens Jeremia hals, och sönderbröt det.
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.
Och Hanania sade, i allt folkens närvaro: Detta säger Herren: Likaså skall jag sönderbryta NebucadNezars ok, Konungens i Babel, af all folks hals, förr än tu år förlidna äro. Och Propheten Jeremia gick sin väg.
12 [Soon] after Hananiah had broken the yoke that was around my neck, Yahweh gave this message to me:
Men Herrans ord skedde till Jeremia, sedan den Propheten Hanania hade sönderbrutit oket af Jeremia Prophetens hals, och sade:
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.
Gack bort, och säg Hanania: Detta säger Herren: Du hafver sönderbrutit träoket, så gör nu ett jernok i samma staden.
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.’”
Ty detta säger Herren Zebaoth, Israels Gud: Ett jernok hafver jag hängt allo desso folkena på halsen, der de med tjena skola NebucadNezar, Konungen i Babel, och de måste tjena honom; ty jag hafver ock gifvit honom vilddjuren på markene.
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.
Och Propheten Jeremia sade till den Propheten Hanania: Hör dock, Hanania; Herren hafver intet sändt dig, och du hafver åstadkommit, att detta folket förlåter sig uppå lögn.
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.’”
Derföre säger Herren alltså: Si, jag skall taga dig bort utaf jordene; i detta året skall du dö: ty du hafver med ditt tal afvändt dem ifrå Herranom.
17 Hananiah died two months later.
Och så blef den Propheten Hanania död, på det samma året, i sjunde månadenom.
