The False Prophet Hananiah
28 In the fifth month of that same year, the fourth year, early in the reign of Zedekiah(A) king of Judah, the prophet Hananiah son of Azzur, who was from Gibeon,(B) said to me in the house of the Lord in the presence of the priests and all the people: 2 “This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: ‘I will break the yoke(C) of the king of Babylon. 3 Within two years I will bring back to this place all the articles(D) of the Lord’s house that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon removed from here and took to Babylon. 4 I will also bring back to this place Jehoiachin[a](E) son of Jehoiakim king of Judah and all the other exiles from Judah who went to Babylon,’ declares the Lord, ‘for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.’”(F)
5 Then the prophet Jeremiah replied to the prophet Hananiah before the priests and all the people who were standing in the house of the Lord. 6 He said, “Amen! May the Lord do so! May the Lord fulfill the words you have prophesied by bringing the articles of the Lord’s house and all the exiles back to this place from Babylon.(G) 7 Nevertheless, listen to what I have to say in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people: 8 From early times the prophets who preceded you and me have prophesied war, disaster and plague(H) against many countries and great kingdoms. 9 But the prophet who prophesies peace will be recognized as one truly sent by the Lord only if his prediction comes true.(I)”
10 Then the prophet Hananiah took the yoke(J) off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah and broke it, 11 and he said(K) before all the people, “This is what the Lord says: ‘In the same way I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon off the neck of all the nations within two years.’” At this, the prophet Jeremiah went on his way.
12 After the prophet Hananiah had broken the yoke off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 13 “Go and tell Hananiah, ‘This is what the Lord says: You have broken a wooden yoke, but in its place you will get a yoke of iron. 14 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I will put an iron yoke(L) on the necks of all these nations to make them serve(M) Nebuchadnezzar(N) king of Babylon, and they will serve him. I will even give him control over the wild animals.(O)’”
15 Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, “Listen, Hananiah! The Lord has not sent(P) you, yet you have persuaded this nation to trust in lies.(Q) 16 Therefore this is what the Lord says: ‘I am about to remove you from the face of the earth.(R) This very year you are going to die,(S) because you have preached rebellion(T) against the Lord.’”
17 In the seventh month of that same year, Hananiah the prophet died.(U)

真假先知
28 同一年，就是猶大王西底迦執政的第四年五月，基遍人押朔的兒子哈拿尼雅先知在耶和華的殿中當著祭司和全體民眾的面對我說： 2 「以色列的上帝——萬軍之耶和華說，『我必折斷巴比倫王奴役你們的軛。 3 兩年之內，我必把巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒從耶和華殿中擄到巴比倫的器皿取回來； 4 我也必把猶大王約雅敬的兒子耶哥尼雅和其他被擄到巴比倫的猶大人帶回來，因為我要折斷巴比倫王奴役你們的軛。這是耶和華說的。』」
5 耶利米先知當著站在耶和華殿裡的祭司和民眾的面對哈拿尼雅先知說： 6 「誠願如此！願耶和華這樣做，願耶和華應驗你的預言，把祂殿中的器皿和被擄的人從巴比倫帶回來。 7 不過，請你和眾人都聽我說， 8 在你我之前的古代先知曾預言許多地方和強國要遭遇戰爭、災禍和瘟疫。 9 至於那預言會有平安的先知，只有他的話應驗了，才能證明他是耶和華派來的。」
10 哈拿尼雅先知把軛從耶利米先知的頸上取下，折斷， 11 然後當眾說：「耶和華說，『兩年之內，我要照樣折斷巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒加在列國頸上的軛。』」於是耶利米先知離開了那裡。
12 哈拿尼雅先知把耶利米先知頸上的軛折斷後不久，耶和華對耶利米說： 13 「你去告訴哈拿尼雅，耶和華說，『你折斷了木軛，卻要換來鐵軛。 14 我要把鐵軛放在所有這些國家的頸上，他們都要臣服於巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒，連田野的走獸也要交給他管轄。』這是以色列的上帝——萬軍之耶和華說的。」 15 耶利米先知就對哈拿尼雅先知說：「哈拿尼雅，聽著！耶和華並沒有派你來，你卻誘使這些民眾相信你的謊話。 16 因此，耶和華說，『我要把你從世上除掉，你今年必死，因為你背叛了耶和華。』」 17 哈拿尼雅先知便在當年七月死了。

Hananiah’s False Prophecy
28 In that same year, early in the rule of King Zedekiah of Judah, in the fifth month of his fourth year as king, the prophet Hananiah, son of Azzur, from Gibeon, spoke to me in Yahweh’s temple. He said to me in front of the priests and all the people, 2 “This is what Yahweh Tsebaoth, the Elohim of Israel, says: I will break the yoke[a] of the king of Babylon. 3 Within two years I will bring back all the utensils of Yahweh’s temple that King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon took from this place and carried off to Babylon. 4 I will also bring back to this place Jehoiakin, son of King Jehoiakim of Judah, and all the captives of Judah who went to Babylon, declares Yahweh. So I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.”
5 The prophet Jeremiah replied to the prophet Hananiah in front of the priests and all the people standing in Yahweh’s temple. 6 He said, “Amen! May Yahweh do this! May Yahweh make your prophecy come true and bring back the utensils of Yahweh’s temple and all the captives from Babylon to this place. 7 But now listen to this message that I am speaking to you and to all the people: 8 Long ago, the prophets who preceded you and me prophesied wars, disasters, and plagues against many countries and great kingdoms. 9 But the prophet who prophesied peace was recognized as a prophet that Yahweh sent only if the message of the prophet came true.”
10 Then the prophet Hananiah took the yoke off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah and broke it. 11 Hananiah said in front of all the people, “This is what Yahweh says: In the same way, I will break the yoke of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon off the neck of all the nations within two years.” Then the prophet Jeremiah went on his way.
12 After the prophet Hananiah broke the yoke off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, Yahweh spoke his word to Jeremiah. He said, 13 “Tell Hananiah, ‘This is what Yahweh says: You have broken the wooden yoke, but I[b] will replace it with an iron yoke. 14 This is what Yahweh Tsebaoth, the Elohim of Israel, says: I will put an iron yoke on the necks of all these nations so that they will serve King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. They will serve him! I will even make wild animals serve him.’”
15 Then Jeremiah told the prophet Hananiah, “Now listen, Hananiah, Yahweh hasn’t sent you. You have made these people believe a lie. 16 This is what Yahweh says: I’m going to remove you from the face of the earth. You will die this year because you have encouraged rebellion against Yahweh.”
17 So the prophet Hananiah died in the seventh month of that year.

Hananiah’s Falsehood and Doom
28 And (A)it happened in the same year, at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the (B)fourth year and in the fifth month, that Hananiah the son of (C)Azur the prophet, who was from Gibeon, spoke to me in the house of the Lord in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying, 2 “Thus speaks the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying: ‘I have broken (D)the yoke of the king of Babylon. 3 (E)Within two full years I will bring back to this place all the vessels of the Lord’s house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon (F)took away from this place and carried to Babylon. 4 And I will bring back to this place [a]Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah who went to Babylon,’ says the Lord, ‘for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.’ ”
5 Then the prophet Jeremiah spoke to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests and in the presence of all the people who stood in the house of the Lord, 6 and the prophet Jeremiah said, (G)“Amen! The Lord do so; the Lord perform your words which you have prophesied, to bring back the vessels of the Lord’s house and all who were carried away captive, from Babylon to this place. 7 Nevertheless hear now this word that I speak in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people: 8 The prophets who have been before me and before you of old prophesied against many countries and great kingdoms—of war and disaster and pestilence. 9 As for (H)the prophet who prophesies of (I)peace, when the word of the prophet comes to pass, the prophet will be known as one whom the Lord has truly sent.”
10 Then Hananiah the prophet took the (J)yoke off the prophet Jeremiah’s neck and broke it. 11 And Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, “Thus says the Lord: ‘Even so I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon (K)from the neck of all nations within the space of two full years.’ ” And the prophet Jeremiah went his way.
12 Now the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, after Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying, 13 “Go and tell Hananiah, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord: “You have broken the yokes of wood, but you have made in their place yokes of iron.” 14 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: (L)“I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him. (M)I have given him the beasts of the field also.” ’ ”
15 Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, “Hear now, Hananiah, the Lord has not sent you, but (N)you make this people trust in a (O)lie. 16 Therefore thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, I will cast you from the face of the earth. This year you shall (P)die, because you have taught (Q)rebellion against the Lord.’ ”
17 So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.
