Jeremiæ 28

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

And it came about in that year, when Zedekiah first became king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, that Hananiah, the son of Azzur the prophet, who came from Gibeon, said to Jeremiah in the house of the Lord, before the priests and all the people,

2 haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel contrivi iugum regis Babylonis

These are the words of the Lord of armies, the God of Israel: By me the yoke of the king of Babylon has been broken.

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

In the space of two years I will send back into this place all the vessels of the Lord's house which Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, took away from this place to Babylon:

4 et Iechoniam filium Ioachim regem Iuda et omnem transmigrationem Iudae qui ingressi sunt in Babylonem ego convertam ad locum istum ait Dominus conteram enim iugum regis Babylonis

And I will let Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, come back to this place, with all the prisoners of Judah who went to Babylon, says the Lord: for I will have the yoke of the king of Babylon broken.

5 et dixit Hieremias propheta ad Ananiam prophetam in oculis sacerdotum et in oculis omnis populi qui stabant in domo Domini

Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah, before the priests and all the people who had come into the house of the Lord,

6 et ait Hieremias 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

The prophet Jeremiah said, So be it: may the Lord do so: may the Lord give effect to the words which you have said, and let the vessels of the Lord's house, and all the people who have been taken away, come back from Babylon to this place.

7 verumtamen audi verbum hoc quod ego loquor in auribus tuis et in auribus universi populi

But still, give ear to this word which I am saying to you and to all the people:

8 prophetae qui fuerunt ante me et te ab initio et prophetaverunt super terras multas et super regna magna de proelio et de adflictione et de fame

The prophets, who were before me and before you, from early times gave word to a number of countries and great kingdoms about war and destruction and disease.

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

The prophet whose words are of peace, when his words come true, will be seen to be a prophet whom the Lord has sent.

10 et tulit Ananias propheta catenam de collo Hieremiae prophetae et confregit eam

Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from the neck of the prophet Jeremiah and it was broken by his hands.

11 et ait Ananias in conspectu omnis populi dicens haec dicit Dominus sic confringam iugum Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis post duos annos dierum de collo omnium gentium

And before all the people Hananiah said, The Lord has said, Even so will I let the yoke of the king of Babylon be broken off the necks of all the nations in the space of two years. Then the prophet Jeremiah went away.

12 et abiit Hieremias prophetes in viam suam et factum est verbum Domini ad Hieremiam postquam confregit Ananias propheta catenam de collo Hieremiae prophetae dicens

Then after the yoke had been broken off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah by Hananiah the prophet, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,

13 vade et dices Ananiae haec dicit Dominus catenas ligneas contrivisti et facies pro eis catenas ferreas

Go and say to Hananiah, This is what the Lord has said: Yokes of wood have been broken by you, but in their place I will make yokes of iron.

14 quia haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel iugum ferreum posui super collum cunctarum gentium istarum ut serviant Nabuchodonosor regi Babylonis et servient ei insuper et bestias terrae dedi ei

For the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: I have put a yoke of iron on the necks of all these nations, making them servants to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon; and they are to be his servants: and in addition I have given him the beasts of the field.

15 et dixit Hieremias propheta ad Ananiam prophetam audi Anania non misit te Dominus et tu confidere fecisti populum istum in mendacio

Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, Give ear, now, Hananiah; the Lord has not sent you; but you are making this people put their faith in what is false.

16 idcirco haec dicit Dominus ecce emittam te a facie terrae hoc anno morieris adversum Dominum enim locutus es

For this reason the Lord has said, See, I will send you away from off the face of the earth: this year death will overtake you, because you have said words against the Lord.

17 et mortuus est Ananias propheta in anno illo mense septimo

So death came to Hananiah the prophet the same year, in the seventh month.
