エレミヤ書 28

1 この年すなはちユダの王ゼデキヤが位に即し初その四年の五月ギベオンのアズルの子なる預言者ハナニヤ、ヱホバの室にて祭司と凡の民の前にて我に語りいひけるは

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:

2 萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひたまふ我バビロンの王の軛を摧けり

“Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.

3 二年の内にバビロンの王ネブカデネザルがこの處より取てバビロンに携へゆきしヱホバの室の器皿を再び悉くこの處に歸らしめん

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.

4 我またユダの王ヱホヤキムの子ヱコニヤおよびバビロンに住しユダのすべての擄人をこの處に歸らしめんそは我バビロンの王の軛を摧くべければなりとヱホバいひたまふ

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.”

5 是に於て預言者ヱレミヤ、ヱホバの家に立る祭司の前とすべての民の前にて預言者ハナニヤと語ふ

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.

6 預言者ヱレミヤすなはちいひけるはアーメン願くはヱホバかくなし給へ願くはバビロンに携へゆかれしヱホバの室の器皿及びすべて虜へうつされし者をヱホバ、バビロンより復びこの處に歸らしめたまはんと汝の預言せし言の成らんことを

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.

7 然ど汝いま我なんぢの耳と諸の民の耳に語らんとする此言をきけ

Yet truly, listen to this word, which I am speaking to your ears and to the ears of all the people.

8 我と汝の先にいでし預言者は古昔より多くの地と大なる國につきて戰鬪と災難と疫病の事を預言せり

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.

9 泰平を預言するところの預言者は若しその預言者の言とげなばその誠にヱホバの遣したまへる者なること知らるべし

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.”

10 ここに於て預言者ハナニヤ預言者ヱレミヤの項より軛を取てこれを摧けり

And Hananiah the prophet took the chain from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, and he broke it.

11 ハナニヤ諸の民の前にて語りヱホバかくいひたまふわれ二年のうちに是の如く萬國民の項よりバビロン王ネブカデネザルの軛を摧きはなさんといふ預言者ヱレミヤ遂に去りぬ

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.”

12 預言者ハナニヤ預言者ヱレミヤの項より軛を摧きはなせし後ヱホバの言ヱレミヤに臨みていふ

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:

13 汝ゆきてハナニヤにヱホバかくいふと告よ汝木の軛を摧きたれども之に代て鐵の軛を作れり

“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.

14 萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいふ我鐵の軛をこの萬國民の項に置きてバビロンの王ネブカデネザルに事へしむ彼ら之につかへんわれ野の獸をもこれに與へたり

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.”

15 また預言者ヱレミヤ預言者ハナニヤにいひけるはハナニヤよ請ふ聽けヱホバ汝を遣はし給はず汝はこの民に謊を信ぜしむるなり

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.

16 是故にヱホバいひ給ふ我汝を地の面よりのぞかん汝ヱホバに叛くことを敎ふるによりて今年死ぬべしと

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.”

17 預言者ハナニヤはこの年の七月死ねり

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