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 to pass the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, that Hananiah the son of Azzur the prophet, which was of Gibeon, spake unto me in the house of the LORD, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,

2 haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel contrivi iugum regis Babylonis

Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the 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 Domini quae tulit Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis de loco isto et transtulit ea in Babylonem

Within two full years will I bring again into this place all the vessels of the LORD’S house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried them 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 bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah with all the captives of Judah, that went to Babylon, saith the LORD: for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.

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 unto the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people that stood in 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

even the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen: the LORD do so: the LORD perform thy words which thou hast prophesied, to bring again the vessels of the LORD’S house, and all them of the captivity, from Babylon unto this place.

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

Nevertheless hear thou now this word that I speak in thine ears, and in the ears of 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 that have been before me and before thee of old prophesied against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, 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 which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that the LORD hath truly sent him.

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

Then Hananiah the prophet took the bar from off the prophet Jeremiah’s neck, and brake it.

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 Hananiah spake in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith the LORD: Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon within two full years from off the neck of all the nations. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way.

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 the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the bar from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,

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

Go, and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD: Thou hast broken the bars of wood; but thou shalt make in their stead bars 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 thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him: and I have given him the beasts of the field also.

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

Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; the LORD hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie.

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

Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will send thee away from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast spoken rebellion against the LORD.

17 et mortuus est Ananias propheta in anno illo mense septimo

So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.
