Jeremiah 28
1 It happened in that year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year and the fifth month, Hananiah son of Azzur the prophet, who was from Gibeon, spoke to me in Yahweh's house in front of the priests and all the people. He said,
同年，即猶大王漆德克雅即位之初第四年五月，基貝紅人阿組爾的兒子哈納尼雅先知，在上主殿裏當著司祭和全體人民對我說：「
2 “Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this: I have broken the yoke imposed by the king of Babylon.
萬軍的上主，以色列的天主這樣說：我已折斷了巴比倫王的軛。
3 Within two years I will bring back to this place all the objects belonging to Yahweh's house that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took from this place and transported to Babylon.
還有兩年，我就要取回巴比倫王拿步高，由這地取去，帶往巴比倫的一切上主殿的器皿，再放在這地方，
4 Then I will bring back to this place Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and all the captives of Judah who were sent to Babylon—this is Yahweh's declaration—for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.”
且領回猶大王約雅金的兒子耶苛尼雅及一切流徙至巴比倫的猶大俘虜，再來到這地方──上主的斷語──因為我要折斷巴比倫王的軛。」
5 So Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Hananiah the prophet in front of the priests and to all the people who stood in Yahweh's house.
耶肋米亞先知立當著站在上主殿裏的司祭和全體人民，答覆了先知哈納尼雅。
6 Jeremiah the prophet said, “May Yahweh do this! May Yahweh confirm the words that you prophesied and bring back to this place the objects belonging to Yahweh's house, and all the captives from Babylon.
耶肋米亞先知說：「盼望是這樣! 惟願上主這樣做! 惟願上主實踐你預言的話，使上主殿宇的器皿和一切俘虜，從巴比倫再回到這地方來!
7 However, listen to the word that I am proclaiming in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people.
不過請聽我當面願對你和全體人民要說的這一句話：
8 The prophets who existed before me and you from long ago also prophesied about many nations and against great kingdoms, about war, famine, and plague.
自古以來，在我和你以前的先知，對多少地區和強盛的王國，曾預言過戰爭，饑饉和瘟疫。
9 So the prophet who prophesies that there will be peace—if his word comes true, then it will be known that he is indeed a prophet sent out by Yahweh.”
至於預言和平的先知，只在這先知的話實現以後，纔可認出這先知確是上主派遣的。
10 But Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet and broke it.
哈納尼雅先知便從耶肋米亞先知頸上取下木軛，折斷了，
11 Then Hananiah spoke in front of all the people and said, “Yahweh says this: Just like this, within two years I will break from off the neck of every nation the yoke imposed by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.” Then Jeremiah the prophet went on his way.
然後對全體人民說：「上主這樣說：還有兩年，我要這樣從一切民族的頸上，折斷巴比倫王拿步高的軛。」於是耶肋米亞先知只得自行離去。
12 After Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, saying,
哈納尼雅先知從耶肋米亞先知頸上取下木軛折斷以後，即有上主的話傳給耶肋米亞說：「
13 “Go and speak to Hananiah and say, 'Yahweh says this: You broke a yoke of wood, but I will make instead a yoke of iron.'
你去告訴哈納尼雅說：上主這樣說：；你折斷了木軛，但我必做鐵軛來代替。
14 For Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this: I have placed a yoke of iron on the neck of all of these nations to serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and they will serve him. I have also given him the wild beasts in the fields to rule over.”
因為萬軍的上主，以色列的天主這樣說：我要將鐵軛放在這一切民族的頸上，使他們服事拿步高巴比倫王；他們該服事他，因為連田野的走獸我也交給了他。」
15 Next Jeremiah the prophet said to Hananiah the prophet, “Listen Hananiah! Yahweh has not sent you, but you yourself have caused this people to believe in lies.
耶肋米亞先知於是對哈納尼雅先知說：「哈納尼雅! 請聽，上主並沒有派遣你，你竟使這人民相信謊言。
16 So Yahweh says this: Look, I am about to send you out from the earth. You will die this year, since you proclaimed rebellion against Yahweh.”
為此，上主這樣說：看，我要把你趕出地面；今年你必要死，因為你說了背叛上主的話。」
17 In the seventh month of that same year, Hananiah the prophet died.
哈納尼雅先知就死在那年七月。
