Jeremiah 28
1 And it happened in that year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah, the king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, that Hananiah, the son of Azur, the prophet from Gibeon, spoke to me, in the house of the Lord, in the sight of the priests and all the people, saying:
その年、すなわちユダの王ゼデキヤの治世の初め、その第四年の五月、ギベオン出身の預言者であって、アズルの子であるハナニヤは、主の宮で祭司とすべての民の前でわたしに語って言った、
2 “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
「万軍の主、イスラエルの神はこう仰せられる、わたしはバビロンの王のくびきを砕いた。
3 There are still two years of days, and then I will cause to be carried back to this place all the vessels of the house of the Lord that Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, took from this place and carried away to Babylon.
二年の内に、バビロンの王ネブカデネザルが、この所から取ってバビロンに携えて行った主の宮の器を、皆この所に帰らせる。
4 And I will return to this place: Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, and all those taken captive from Judah, who were brought into Babylon, says the Lord. For I will crush the yoke of the king of Babylon.”
わたしはまたユダの王エホヤキムの子エコニヤと、バビロンに行ったユダのすべての捕われ人をこの所に帰らせる。それは、わたしがバビロンの王のくびきを、砕くからであると主は言われる」。
5 And Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Hananiah the prophet, before the eyes of the priests and before the eyes of all the people who were standing in the house of the Lord.
そこで預言者エレミヤは主の宮のうちに立っている祭司とすべての民の前で、預言者ハナニヤに言った。
6 And Jeremiah the prophet said: “Amen, may the Lord accomplish this; may the Lord act upon your words, which you have prophesied, so that the vessels may be carried back to the house of the Lord, and so that all those taken captive may return from Babylon to this place.
すなわち預言者エレミヤは言った、「アァメン。どうか主がこのようにしてくださるように。どうかあなたの預言した言葉が成就して、バビロンに携えて行った主の宮の器とすべての捕われ人を、主がバビロンから再びこの所に帰らせてくださるように。
7 Yet truly, listen to this word, which I am speaking to your ears and to the ears of all the people.
ただし、今わたしがあなたとすべての民の聞いている所で語るこの言葉を聞きなさい。
8 The prophets, who were before me and before you, from the beginning, have prophesied over many lands and over great kingdoms, about war, and about affliction, and about famine.
わたしと、あなたの先に出た預言者は、むかしから、多くの地と大きな国について、戦いと、ききんと、疫病の事を預言した。
9 The prophet who has predicted peace, if his word will occur, then the prophet will be known as one whom the Lord has sent in truth.”
平和を預言する預言者は、その預言者の言葉が成就するとき、真実に主がその預言者をつかわされたのであることが知られるのだ」。
10 And Hananiah the prophet took the chain from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, and he broke it.
そこで預言者ハナニヤは預言者エレミヤの首から、くびきを取って、それを砕いた。
11 And Hananiah spoke in the sight of all the people, saying: “Thus says the Lord: So shall I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, after two years of days, from the neck of all the people.”
そしてハナニヤは、すべての民の前で語り、「主はこう仰せられる、『わたしは二年のうちに、このように、万国民の首からバビロンの王ネブカデネザルのくびきを離して砕く』」と言った。預言者エレミヤは去って行った。
12 And Jeremiah the prophet went his own way. And after Hananiah the prophet had broken the chain from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying:
預言者ハナニヤが預言者エレミヤの首から、くびきを離して砕いた後、しばらくして主の言葉がエレミヤに臨んだ、
13 “Go, and you shall say to Hananiah: Thus says the Lord: You have broken chains of wood, and so you will make for them chains of iron.
「行って、ハナニヤに告げなさい、『主はこう仰せられる、あなたは木のくびきを砕いたが、わたしはそれに替えて鉄のくびきを作ろう。
14 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: I have placed a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations, so that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon. And they shall serve him. Moreover, I have given to him even the beasts of the earth.”
万軍の主、イスラエルの神はこう仰せられる、わたしは鉄のくびきをこの万国民の首に置いて、バビロンの王ネブカデネザルに仕えさせる。彼らはこれに仕える。わたしは野の獣をも彼に与えた』」。
15 And Jeremiah the prophet said to Hananiah the prophet: “Listen, Hananiah! The Lord has not sent you, and so you have caused this people to trust in a lie.
預言者エレミヤはまた預言者ハナニヤに言った、「ハナニヤよ、聞きなさい。主があなたをつかわされたのではない。あなたはこの民に偽りを信じさせた。
16 For this reason, thus says the Lord: Behold, I will send you away from the face of the earth. This year, you shall die. For you have spoken against the Lord.”
それゆえ主は仰せられる、『わたしはあなたを地のおもてから除く。あなたは主に対する反逆を語ったので、今年のうちに死ぬのだ』と」。
17 And Hananiah the prophet died in that year, in the seventh month.
預言者ハナニヤはその年の七月に死んだ。
