1 And it came to pass the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, and in the fifth month, that Hananiah the son of Azur the prophet, which was of Gibeon, spake unto me in the house of the LORD, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying, 2 Thus speaketh the LORD 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 the LORD’s house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried them 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 into Babylon, saith the LORD: 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 the LORD, 6 Even the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen: the LORD do so: the LORD perform thy words which thou hast prophesied, to bring again the vessels of the LORD’s house, and all that is carried away captive, from Babylon into 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 both against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence. 9 The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that the LORD hath truly sent him.
10 ¶ Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah’s neck, and brake it. 11 And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all nations within the space of two full years. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way.
12 ¶ Then the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the prophet , after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying, 13 Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Thou hast broken the yokes of wood; but thou shalt make for them yokes of iron. 14 For thus saith the LORD 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; The LORD hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie. 16 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast taught rebellion against the LORD. 17 So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.
Hananja nostājas pret Jeremiju
1 Un tajā pašā gadā, Jūdas ķēniņa Cedekijas valdīšanas sākumā, ceturtā gada piektajā mēnesī, Gibeonas pravietis Hananja, Azūra dēls, Kunga namā, priesteru un visas tautas priekšā man teica: 2 “Tā saka Pulku Kungs, Israēla Dievs: es satriekšu Bābeles ķēniņa jūgu! 3 Divos gados es atgādāšu atpakaļ uz šejieni visus Kunga nama traukus, ko no šejienes paņēma Bābeles ķēniņš Nebūkadnecars un aizveda uz Bābeli. 4 Es atvedīšu atpakaļ uz šejieni Jūdas ķēniņu Jehonju, Jehojākīma dēlu, un visus Jūdas trimdiniekus, kuri aizgāja uz Bābeli, saka Kungs, jo es satriekšu Bābeles ķēniņa jūgu!” 5 Un visas tautas un priesteru priekšā, kuri stāvēja Kunga namā, pravietis Jeremija atbildēja pravietim Hananjam, 6 sacīdams tā: “Patiesi! Lai Kungs dara tā! Lai Kungs piepilda tavus vārdus, kurus tu pravietoji, un lai atgādā atpakaļ Kunga nama traukus un visus trimdiniekus no Bābeles uz šejieni! 7 Taču klausies šos vārdus, ko es runāju, ieklausies tu un visa tauta: 8 tie pravieši, kas jau no mūžības ir bijuši pirms tevis un manis, ir pravietojuši par daudzām zemēm un par varenām valstīm – par karu, par badu un mēri. 9 Pravietis, kas pravieto mieru, tiek atzīts par patiesi Kunga svētītu pravieti tikai tad, kad piepildās pravieša vārdi!” 10 Tad pravietis Hananja paņēma no pravieša Jeremijas jūga saites un sarāva tās. 11 Un visas tautas priekšā Hananja teica: “Tā saka Kungs: tā es divos gados noraušu Bābeles ķēniņa Nebūkadnecara jūgu no visu tautu kakla!” Bet pravietis Jeremija aizgāja savu ceļu.
12 Pēc tam kad pravietis Hananja bija norāvis jūga saites no pravieša Jeremijas kakla, pār Jeremiju nāca Kunga vārds: 13 “Ej un saki Hananjam: tā saka Kungs: koka jūgu tu salauzi, bet tā vietā tu dabūsi dzelzs jūgu! – 14 Jo tā saka Pulku Kungs, Israēla Dievs: visu šo tautu kaklam es uzliku dzelzs jūgu, lai vergo Bābeles ķēniņam Nebūkadnecaram, un tās viņam vergos! Pat lauka zvērus es atdevu viņam!” 15 Un pravietis Jeremija teica pravietim Hananjam: “Klausies nu, Hananja! Kungs tevi nesūtīja, un tu liki šai tautai paļauties meliem! 16 Tādēļ tā saka Kungs: redzi, es tevi patriekšu no zemes virsas! Jau šogad tu mirsi, jo nepakļāvīgi tu runāji pret Kungu!” 17 Un pravietis Hananja nomira tā paša gada septītajā mēnesī!
