耶利米书 28

1 当年，就是犹大王西底家登基第四年五月，基遍人押朔的儿子，先知哈拿尼雅，在耶和华的殿中当着祭司和众民对我说：

In the fifth month of that same year, the fourth year, near the beginning of the reign of King Zedekiah of Judah, the prophet Hananiah son of Azzur, who was from Gibeon, said to me in the house of the LORD in the presence of the priests and all the people:

2 “万军之耶和华—以色列的 神如此说：我已经折断巴比伦王的轭。

“This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.

3 二年之内，我要将巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒从这地掠到巴比伦的器皿，就是耶和华殿中的一切器皿都带回此地。

Within two years I will restore to this place all the articles of the house of the LORD that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon removed from here and carried to Babylon.

4 我又要将犹大王约雅敬的儿子耶哥尼雅和被掳到巴比伦去的一切犹大人带回此地，因为我要折断巴比伦王的轭。这是耶和华说的。”

And I will restore to this place Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, along with all the exiles from Judah who went to Babylon,’ declares the LORD, ‘for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.’”

5 先知耶利米当着祭司和站在耶和华殿里的众民对先知哈拿尼雅说：

Then the prophet Jeremiah replied to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests and all the people who were standing in the house of the LORD.

6 “阿们！愿耶和华如此行，愿耶和华成就你所预言的话，将耶和华殿中的器皿和一切被掳去的人从巴比伦带回此地。

“Amen!” Jeremiah said. “May the LORD do so! May the LORD fulfill the words you have prophesied, and may He restore the articles of His house and all the exiles back to this place from Babylon.

7 然而我向你和众民耳中所要说的话，你应当听。

Nevertheless, listen now to this message I am speaking in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people.

8 从古以来，在你我以前的先知，向多国和大邦说预言，论到争战、灾祸、瘟疫的事。

The prophets of old who preceded you and me prophesied war, disaster, and plague against many lands and great kingdoms.

9 先知预言的平安，到话语成就的时候，人便知道他真是耶和华所差来的。”

As for the prophet who prophesies peace, only if the word of the prophet comes true will the prophet be recognized as one the LORD has truly sent.”

10 于是，先知哈拿尼雅将先知耶利米颈项上的轭取下来，折断了。

Then the prophet Hananiah took the yoke off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet and broke it.

11 哈拿尼雅又当着众民说：“耶和华如此说：二年之内我必照样从列国人的颈项上折断巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒的轭。”于是先知耶利米就走了。

And in the presence of all the people Hananiah proclaimed, “This is what the LORD says: ‘In this way, within two years I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon off the neck of all the nations.’” At this, Jeremiah the prophet went on his way.

12 先知哈拿尼雅把先知耶利米颈项上的轭折断以后，耶和华的话临到耶利米说：

But shortly after Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke off his neck, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:

13 “你去告诉哈拿尼雅说，耶和华如此说：你折断木轭，却换了铁轭！

“Go and tell Hananiah that this is what the LORD says: ‘You have broken a yoke of wood, but in its place you have fashioned a yoke of iron.’

14 因为万军之耶和华—以色列的 神如此说：我已将铁轭加在这些国的颈项上，使他们服事巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒，他们总要服事他；我也把田野的走兽给了他。”

For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations to make them serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and they will serve him. I have even given him control of the beasts of the field.’”

15 于是先知耶利米对先知哈拿尼雅说：“哈拿尼雅啊，你应当听！耶和华并没有差遣你，你竟使这百姓倚靠谎言。

Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah, “Listen, Hananiah! The LORD did not send you, but you have persuaded this people to trust in a lie.

16 所以耶和华如此说：看哪，我要叫你去世，你今年必死，因为你向耶和华说了叛逆的话。”

Therefore this is what the LORD says: ‘I am about to remove you from the face of the earth. You will die this year because you have preached rebellion against the LORD.’”

17 这样，先知哈拿尼雅当年七月间就死了。

And in the seventh month of that very year, the prophet Hananiah died.
