< Jeremiah 28 >

1 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, who was of Gibeon, spoke to me in the house of Jehovah, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,
同年,即猶大王漆德克雅即位之初第四年五月,基貝紅人阿組爾的兒子哈納尼雅先知,在上主殿裏當著司祭和全體人民對我說:「
2 Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
萬軍的上主,以色列的天主這樣說:我已折斷了巴比倫王的軛。
3 Within two full years will I bring again into this place all the vessels of Jehovah's house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried to Babylon;
還有兩年,我就要取回巴比倫王拿步高,由這地取去,帶往巴比倫的一切上主殿的器皿,再放在這地方,
4 and I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah that went to Babylon, saith Jehovah: for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.
且領回猶大王約雅金的兒子耶苛尼雅及一切流徙至巴比倫的猶大俘虜,再來到這地方──上主的斷語──因為我要折斷巴比倫王的軛。」
5 And the prophet Jeremiah spoke unto the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people that stood in the house of Jehovah.
耶肋米亞先知立當著站在上主殿裏的司祭和全體人民,答覆了先知哈納尼雅。
6 And the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen, may Jehovah do so! may Jehovah perform thy words which thou hast prophesied, to bring again from Babylon, into this place, the vessels of Jehovah's house, and all them of the captivity!
耶肋米亞先知說:「盼望是這樣! 惟願上主這樣做! 惟願上主實踐你預言的話,使上主殿宇的器皿和一切俘虜,從巴比倫再回到這地方來!
7 Nevertheless, hear, I pray thee, this word which I speak in thine ears, and in the ears of all the people:
不過請聽我當面願對你和全體人民要說的這一句話:
8 The prophets that have been before me and before thee of old, prophesied also concerning many countries and concerning great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence.
自古以來,在我和你以前的先知,對多少地區和強盛的王國,曾預言過戰爭,饑饉和瘟疫。
9 The prophet that prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, shall be known as the prophet whom Jehovah hath really sent.
至於預言和平的先知,只在這先知的話實現以後,纔可認出這先知確是上主派遣的。
10 And the prophet Hananiah took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah's neck, and broke it.
哈納尼雅先知便從耶肋米亞先知頸上取下木軛,折斷了,
11 And Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith Jehovah: So will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon within two full years from off the neck of all the nations. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way.
然後對全體人民說:「上主這樣說:還有兩年,我要這樣從一切民族的頸上,折斷巴比倫王拿步高的軛。」於是耶肋米亞先知只得自行離去。
12 And the word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah, after that the prophet Hananiah had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
哈納尼雅先知從耶肋米亞先知頸上取下木軛折斷以後,即有上主的話傳給耶肋米亞說:「
13 Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah: Thou hast broken the yokes of wood, and thou hast made in their place yokes of iron.
你去告訴哈納尼雅說:上主這樣說:;你折斷了木軛,但我必做鐵軛來代替。
14 For thus saith Jehovah 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.
因為萬軍的上主,以色列的天主這樣說:我要將鐵軛放在這一切民族的頸上,使他們服事拿步高巴比倫王;他們該服事他,因為連田野的走獸我也交給了他。」
15 And the prophet Jeremiah said unto the prophet Hananiah, Hear now, Hananiah: Jehovah hath not sent thee; and thou makest this people to trust in falsehood.
耶肋米亞先知於是對哈納尼雅先知說:「哈納尼雅! 請聽,上主並沒有派遣你,你竟使這人民相信謊言。
16 Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, for thou hast spoken revolt against Jehovah.
為此,上主這樣說:看,我要把你趕出地面;今年你必要死,因為你說了背叛上主的話。」
17 And the prophet Hananiah died in the same year in the seventh month.
哈納尼雅先知就死在那年七月。
