1 当年， 就是犹大王西底家开始执政的第四年五月， 基遍人押朔的儿子哈拿尼雅先知， 在耶和华殿中， 当着祭司和众民的面前对我说：

2 "万军之耶和华以色列的 神这样说： ‘我已经折断了巴比伦王的轭。

3 在两年之内， 我必把耶和华殿中的一切器皿， 就是巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒从这地方掠到巴比伦去的， 都带回这地方。

4 我也必把犹大王约雅敬的儿子耶哥尼雅， 和所有被掳到巴比伦去的犹大人， 都带回这地方， 因为我必折断巴比伦王的轭。’这是耶和华的宣告。"

5 耶利米先知当着祭司和站在耶和华殿里的众民面前， 对哈拿尼雅先知说：

6 "阿们！ 愿耶和华这样行， 愿耶和华使你预言的话应验， 把耶和华殿中的器皿和所有被掳的人， 都从巴比伦带回这地方来。

7 不过， 你应该听我向你和众民耳中所说的这话。

8 自古以来， 在你我以前的先知， 已经预言有战争、灾祸和瘟疫要临到许多地方和强国。

9 但预言平安的先知， 除非他的话应验， 人才会承认他确实是耶和华所差遣的先知。"

10 于是哈拿尼雅先知把耶利米先知颈项上的轭取下来， 折断了。

11 哈拿尼雅又当着众民面前说： "耶和华这样说： ‘两年之内， 我必这样从列国的颈项上， 折断巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒的轭。’"于是耶利米先知就走了。

12 哈拿尼雅先知把耶利米先知颈项上的轭折断了以后， 耶和华的话就临到耶利米， 说：

13 "你去告诉哈拿尼雅说： ‘耶和华这样说： 你折断了木轭， 却要换来铁轭。

14 因为万军之耶和华以色列的 神这样说： 我要把铁轭套在这些国家的颈项上， 使他们服事巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒； 他们要服事他， 连田野的走兽， 我也交给他了。’"

15 耶利米先知就对哈拿尼雅先知说： "哈拿尼雅啊！ 你要听， 耶和华并没有差遣你， 你竟使这人民信靠谎言。

16 因此耶和华这样说： ‘看哪！ 我必使你离开人世； 你今年一定死， 因为你说了悖逆耶和华的话。’"

17 这样， 在当年七月， 哈拿尼雅先知就死了。

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, spake unto me in the house of Jehovah, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying, 2 Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon. 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: 4 and I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, 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.

5 Then the prophet Jeremiah said 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, 6 even the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen: Jehovah do so; Jehovah perform thy words which thou hast prophesied, to bring again the vessels of Jehovah’s house, and all them of the captivity, from Babylon unto this place. 7 Nevertheless hear thou now this word that I speak in thine ears, and in the ears of all the people: 8 The prophets that have been before me and before thee of old prophesied against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence. 9 The prophet that prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that Jehovah hath truly sent him. 10 Then Hananiah the prophet took the bar from off the prophet Jeremiah’s neck, and brake it. 11 And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith Jehovah: Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon within two full years from off the neck of all the nations. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way.

12 Then the word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah, after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the bar from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying, 13 Go, and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah: Thou hast broken the bars of wood; but thou hast made in their stead bars of iron. 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. 15 Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah: Jehovah hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie. 16 Therefore thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will send thee away from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast spoken rebellion against Jehovah. 17 So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.
