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.
1 Notika tanī pašā gadā, Jūdas ķēniņa Cedekijas valdīšanas sākumā, ceturtā gada piektajā mēnesī, ka pravietis Hananja, Asura dēls, no Gibeonas uzrunāja mani Tā Kunga namā priesteru un visas tautas priekšā un sacīja: 2 "Tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaots, Israēla Dievs: Bābeles ķēniņa jūgu Es salauzīšu! 3 Vēl nebūs pagājuši ne divi gadi, kad Es atvedīšu atpakaļ šinī vietā visus Tā Kunga nama piederumus, ko Bābeles ķēniņš Nebukadnēcars aizveda no šejienes uz Bābeli. 4 Arī Jehonju, Jojakīma dēlu, Jūdas ķēniņu, un visus no Jūdas uz Bābeli trimdā aizvestos Es atvedīšu šinī vietā, tā saka Tas Kungs, jo Es nokratīšu Bābeles ķēniņa jūgu." 5 Tad pravietis Jeremija deva pravietim Hananjam priesteru un visas tautas klātbūtnē Tā Kunga namā šādu atbildi: 6 "Āmen! Tas Kungs lai to dod! Tas Kungs lai piepilda tavu pravietojumu, ka Viņš atvedīs no Bābeles atpakaļ Tā Kunga nama traukus un citus piederumus un visus trimdā aizvestos ļaudis! 7 Bet uzklausies arī šādus vārdus, ko es tev un visas tautas priekšā teikšu skaļā balsī: 8 pravieši, kas bija priekš manis un priekš tevis jau sensenos laikos, tie sludināja daudzām zemēm un lielām valstīm par karu, par postu un mēri. 9 Bet pravieti, kas sludina mieru un apsola kādu laimīgu notikumu, to atzīst par patiesu pravieti, ko Tas Kungs sūtījis, tikai tad, kad viņa pravietojums piepildās!" 10 Tad pravietis Hananja noņēma jūgu no pravieša Jeremijas kakla un to salauza. 11 Un Hananja sacīja visas tautas priekšā: "Tā saka Tas Kungs: tāpat Es salauzīšu Bābeles ķēniņa Nebukadnēcara jūgu un nokratīšu to no visu tautu kakla, pirms divi gadi būs pagājuši!" Bet pravietis Jeremija aizgāja savu ceļu. 12 Kad pravietis Hananja bija salauzis jūgu Jeremijas kaklā, nāca Tā Kunga vārds pār Jeremiju un tam teica: 13 "Ej un saki Hananjam: tā saka Tas Kungs: koka jūgu tu salauzi, bet tā vietā esi uzlicis dzelzs jūgu." 14 Jo tā saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs: "Dzelzs jūgu Es uzlieku visām šīm tautām kaklā, ka tām jākalpo Bābeles ķēniņam Nebukadnēcaram, tām viņam jākalpo, pat lauku dzīvniekus Es piešķiru viņam." 15 Tad vēl pravietis Jeremija sacīja pravietim Hananjam: "Klausies, Hananja! Tas Kungs tevi taču nav sūtījis, bet tu esi maldinājis šo tautu, lai tā paļaujas uz meliem!" 16 Tādēļ Tas Kungs saka: "Redzi, Es tevi paņemšu projām no zemes virsus; jau šinī gadā tu mirsi, tādēļ ka tu mudināji ļaudis būt nepaklausīgiem Tam Kungam un atkāpties no Viņa!" 17 Un pravietis Hananja tiešām nomira tā paša gada septītajā mēnesī.
