Jeremiah 28

1 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:

1 同一年，就是犹大王西底迦执政的第四年五月，基遍人押朔的儿子哈拿尼雅先知在耶和华的殿中当着祭司和全体民众的面对我说：

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

2 “以色列的上帝——万军之耶和华说，‘我必折断巴比伦王奴役你们的轭。

3 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.

3 两年之内，我必把巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒从耶和华殿中掳到巴比伦的一切器皿带回来；

4 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.’”

4 我也必把约雅敬的儿子犹大王耶哥尼雅和其他所有被掳到巴比伦的犹大人带回来，因为我要折断巴比伦王奴役你们的轭。这是耶和华说的。’”

5 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.

5 耶利米先知当着站在耶和华殿里的祭司和民众的面对哈拿尼雅先知说：

6 “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.

6 “诚愿如此！愿耶和华这样做，愿耶和华应验你的预言，把祂殿中的器皿和所有被掳的人从巴比伦带回来。

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

7 不过，请你和众人都听我说，

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

8 在你我之前的古代先知曾预言许多地方和强国要遭遇战争、灾祸和瘟疫。

9 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.”

9 至于那预言会有平安的先知，只有他的话应验了，才能确认他是耶和华派来的。”

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

10 哈拿尼雅先知把轭从耶利米先知的颈上取下并折断，

11 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.

11 然后当众说：“耶和华说，‘两年之内，我要照样折断巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒加在列国颈上的轭。’”于是耶利米先知离开了那里。

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

12 哈拿尼雅先知把耶利米先知颈上的轭折断后不久，耶和华对耶利米说：

13 “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.’

13 “你去告诉哈拿尼雅，耶和华说，‘你折断了木轭，却要换来铁轭。

14 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.’”

14 我要把铁轭放在所有这些国家的颈上，他们都要臣服于巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒，连田野的走兽也要交给他管辖。’这是以色列的上帝——万军之耶和华说的。”

15 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.

15 耶利米先知就对哈拿尼雅先知说：“哈拿尼雅，听着！耶和华并没有差派你，你却诱使这些民众相信你的谎话。

16 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.’”

16 因此，耶和华说，‘我要把你从世上除掉，你今年必死，因为你说了悖逆耶和华的话。’”

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

17 哈拿尼雅先知便在当年七月死了。
