Jeremiæ 28

1 Et factum est in anno illo, in principio regni Sedechiae regis Iuda, in anno quarto, in mense quinto, dixit ad me Hananias filius Azur propheta de Gabaon, in domo Domini coram sacerdotibus et omni populo, dicens:

And it cometh to pass, in that year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, spoken unto me hath Hananiah son of Azur the prophet, who [is] of Gibeon, in the house of Jehovah, before the eyes of the priests, and all the people, saying,

2 Haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Contrivi iugum regis Babylonis.

'Thus spake Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon;

3 Adhuc duo anni dierum, et ego referri faciam ad locum istum omnia vasa domus Domini, quae tulit Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis de loco isto, et transtulit ea in Babylonem.

Within two years of days I am bringing back unto this place all the vessels of the house of Jehovah that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon hath taken from this place, and doth carry to Babylon,

4 Et Iechoniam filium Ioakim regem Iuda, et omnem transmigrationem Iuda, qui ingressi sunt in Babylonem, ego convertam ad locum istum, ait Dominus: conteram enim iugum regis Babylonis.

And Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and all the removed of Judah, who are entering Babylon, I am bringing back unto this place — an affirmation of Jehovah; for I do break the yoke of the king of Babylon.'

5 Et dixit Ieremias propheta ad Hananiam prophetam in oculis sacerdotum, et in oculis omnis populi, qui stabat in domo Domini.

And Jeremiah the prophet saith unto Hananiah the prophet, before the eyes of the priests, and before the eyes of all the people who are standing in the house of Jehovah,

6 et ait Ieremias propheta: Amen, sic faciat Dominus: suscitet Dominus verba tua, quae prophetasti: ut referantur vasa in domum Domini, et omnis transmigratio de Babylone ad locum istum.

Yea, Jeremiah the prophet saith, 'Amen! so may Jehovah do; Jehovah establish thy words that thou hast prophesied, to bring back the vessels of the house of Jehovah and all the removal from Babylon, unto this place.

7 Verumtamen audi verbum hoc, quod ego loquor in auribus tuis, et in auribus universi populi:

'Only, hear, I pray thee, this word that I am speaking in thine ears, and in the ears of all the people.

8 Prophetae, qui fuerunt ante me et ante te ab initio, et prophetaverunt super terras multas, et super regna magna de praelio, et de afflictione, et de fame.

The prophets who have been before me, and before thee, from of old, even they prophesy concerning many lands, and concerning great kingdoms, of battle, and of evil, and of pestilence.

9 Propheta, qui vaticinatus est pacem: cum venerit verbum eius, scietur propheta, quem misit Dominus in veritate.

The prophet who doth prophesy of peace — by the coming in of the word of the prophet, known is the prophet that Jehovah hath truly sent him.'

10 Et tulit Hananias propheta catenam de collo Ieremiae prophetae, et confregit eam.

And Hananiah the prophet taketh the yoke from off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, and breaketh it,

11 Et ait Hananias in conspectu omnis populi, dicens: Haec dicit Dominus: Sic confringam iugum Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis post duos annos dierum de collo omnium gentium.

And Hananiah speaketh before the eyes of all the people, saying, 'Thus said Jehovah, 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 goeth on his way.

12 Et abiit Ieremias propheta in viam suam. Et factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam, postquam confregit Hananias propheta catenam de collo Ieremiae prophetae, dicens:

And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah after the breaking, by Hananiah the prophet, of the yoke from off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, saying,

13 Vade, et dices Hananiae: Haec dicit Dominus: Catenas ligneas contrivisti: et facies pro eis catenas ferreas.

'Go, and thou hast spoken unto Hananiah, saying, Thus said Jehovah, Yokes of wood thou hast broken, and I have made instead of them yokes of iron;

14 Quia haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Iugum ferreum posui super collum cunctarum Gentium istarum, ut serviant Nabuchodonosor regi Babylonis, et servient ei: insuper et bestias terrae dedi ei.

For thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, A yoke of iron I have put on the neck of all these nations to serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and they have served him, and also the beast of the field I have given to him.'

15 Et dixit Ieremias propheta ad Hananiam prophetam: Audi Hanania: non misit te Dominus, et tu confidere fecisti populum istum in mendacio.

And Jeremiah the prophet saith unto Hananiah the prophet, 'Hear, I pray thee, O Hananiah; Jehovah hath not sent thee, and thou hast caused this people to trust on falsehood.

16 Idcirco haec dicit Dominus: Ecce ego mittam te a facie terrae: hoc anno morieris: adversum enim Dominum locutus es.

Therefore thus said Jehovah, Lo, I am casting thee from off the face of the ground; this year thou diest, for apostasy thou hast spoken concerning Jehovah.'

17 Et mortuus est Hananias propheta in anno illo, mense septimo.

And Hananiah the prophet dieth in that year, in the seventh month.
