Jeremiah 28
1 When Zedekiah had been the King of Judah for more than three years, late in the (summer/hot season), Azzur’s son Hananiah, a prophet from Gibeon [city], spoke to me in the [courtyard of the] temple, while [all] the priests and other people were listening. He said,
Y sucedió que en ese año, cuando Sedequías se convirtió en rey de Judá, en el cuarto año, en el quinto mes, Hananías, hijo del profeta Azur, que vino de Gabaón, dijo a Jeremías en el Casa del Señor, delante de los sacerdotes y de todo el pueblo, diciendo:
2 “This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], says: ‘I will cause the king of Babylon to stop ruling/controlling [MET] [all of you].
Estas son las palabras del Señor de los ejércitos, el Dios de Israel: por mí se ha roto el yugo del rey de Babilonia.
3 (Within two years/Before two years have ended), I will cause to be brought bring back to this temple all the valuable things that King Nebuchadnezzar’s [soldiers] took from this temple and took to Babylon.
En el espacio de dos años enviaré de vuelta a este lugar todos los recipientes de la casa del Señor que Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, se llevó de este lugar a Babilonia:
4 And I will also cause King Jehoiachin to be brought back here, and all the [other] people who were captured and taken to Babylon. The king of Babylon has [forced you to do what he wants, like someone] puts a yoke [on the neck of an ox to force it to do what he] wants [MET] it to do. But I will cause that to end. [That will happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.’”
Y dejaré que Jeconías, hijo de Joacim, rey de Judá, regrese a este lugar con todos los prisioneros de Judá que fueron a Babilonia, dice el Señor, porque tendré el yugo del rey de Judá. Babilonia roto.
5 I replied to Hananiah in front of [all] the priests and other people who were standing outside the temple.
Entonces el profeta Jeremías dijo al profeta Hananías, delante de los sacerdotes y de todas las personas que habían venido a la casa del Señor:
6 I said, “(Amen/May that happen)! I desire/hope that what you have predicted will happen. I hope/desire that Yahweh will do everything that you have said! I hope/desire that he will cause [men from Babylon] to bring back from Babylon [all] the valuable things that were in this temple, and all the people who were taken [to Babylon].
El profeta Jeremías dijo: Así sea, que el Señor lo haga; que el Señor dé efecto a las palabras que has dicho, y deja los recipientes de la casa del Señor y todas las personas que han sido llevadas, regresen de Babilonia a este lugar.
7 But now listen to what I say to you while all these people are listening.
Pero aún así, escucha esta palabra que te estoy diciendo a ti y a todo el pueblo:
8 Many years ago, those who were prophets before you and I [became prophets] spoke messages about many nations and great kingdoms. They predicted/prophesied that wars and disasters and plagues/diseases would occur in those nations.
Los profetas, que fueron antes de mí y antes de ti, desde los primeros tiempos dieron aviso a varios países y grandes reinos sobre la guerra y la destrucción y la enfermedad.
9 [So now you or] any other prophet who predicts that things will go well [for us must show that your message is correct. Only] if what you predict actually happens will we know that you were truly appointed by Yahweh.”
El profeta cuyas palabras son de paz, cuando sus palabras se hagan realidad, se verá como un profeta a quien el Señor ha enviado.
10 Then Hananiah took the yoke off my neck and broke it.
Entonces el profeta Hananías quitó el yugo del cuello del profeta Jeremías y se lo rompió con las manos.
11 Then he said this to all the people who were there: “This is what Yahweh says: ‘Just like Hananiah has broken this yoke, within two years I will cause King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon to [stop forcing the people to do what he wants, which has been like] a heavy yoke on all their necks [MET].’” After Hananiah said that, I left the temple area.
Y antes de todo el pueblo, Hananías dijo: El Señor ha dicho: “De esta manera, permitiré que el yugo del rey de Babilonia se rompa de la cabeza de todas las naciones en el espacio de dos años”. Entonces el profeta Jeremías se fue.
12 [Soon] after Hananiah had broken the yoke that was around my neck, Yahweh gave this message to me:
Luego que el profeta Hananías le quitará el yugo del cuello del profeta Jeremías, vino la palabra del Señor a Jeremías, diciendo:
13 “Go and say this to Hananiah: ‘Yahweh says that you have broken a wooden yoke, but that he will replace it with an iron yoke.
Ve y dile a Hananías: Esto es lo que ha dicho el Señor: Tú has roto los yugos de madera, pero en su lugar harás yugos de hierro.
14 I have forced the people of all these nations to [become slaves of] King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. That is [like] [MET] an iron yoke around their necks. I have put everything, even wild animals, under his control.’”
Porque el Señor de los ejércitos, el Dios de Israel, ha dicho: He puesto un yugo de hierro en el cuello de todas estas naciones, haciéndolos siervos a Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia; y ellos serán sus siervos, y además le he dado las bestias del campo.
15 Then I [went to] Hananiah and said to him, “Hananiah, listen [to this]: Yahweh has not appointed you; instead, [you have told] lies to the people, and they have believed your lies.
Entonces el profeta Jeremías dijo al profeta Hananías: Escucha, ahora, Hananías; el Señor no te ha enviado; Pero estás haciendo que esta gente ponga su fe en lo que es falso.
16 Therefore, this is what Yahweh says: ‘You will [soon] die. Before the end of this year, you will die, because you have rebelled against Yahweh.’”
Por esta razón, el Señor ha dicho: Mira, te enviaré fuera de la faz de la tierra, este año la muerte te alcanzará, porque has dicho palabras contra el Señor.
17 Hananiah died two months later.
Y la muerte llegó al profeta Hananías el mismo año, en el séptimo mes.
