1Ved samme lejlighed, i kong Zidkija af Judas regeringstid, modsagde profeten Hananja, Azzurs søn fra Gibeon, mig offentligt i templet i præsternes og folkets påhør. Det var i den femte måned i kongens fjerde regeringsår. Hananja sagde:2„Herren, den Almægtige, Israels Gud, erklærer: Jeg vil fjerne den babyloniske konges åg fra jeres skuldre.3Inden der er gået to år, vil jeg bringe de tempelskatte tilbage, som Nebukadnezar bortførte til Babylon.4Også kong Jekonja vil jeg bringe tilbage sammen med de øvrige fanger i Babylonien.”5Da svarede jeg ham i præsternes og folkets påhør:6„Gid det måtte gå, som du siger. Jeg ville ønske, at Herren ville opfylde din profeti og bringe tempelskattene og fangerne tilbage til os.7Men hør nu, hvad jeg har at sige til dig i præsternes og folkets påhør:8Alle de profeter, der levede før dig og mig, profeterede imod utallige nationer, og de plejede at advare imod katastrofer som krig, hungersnød og epidemier.9Når en profet derfor forudsiger fred, er det svært at tro, at han virkelig er sendt af Herren. Det kan kun afgøres ved at se, om profetien går i opfyldelse.”10Jeg havde stadig åget på mine skuldre, og Hananja kom nu hen og tog det af mine skuldre og brækkede det.11Så sagde han til mængden: „Herren siger endnu en gang, at inden to år er gået, vil han fjerne kong Nebukadnezars åg fra de nationer, som nu er underlagt hans herredømme.” Derefter gik jeg min vej.12Kort efter gav Herren mig følgende budskab:13Gå hen til Hananja og sig: „Godt nok har du brækket et åg, men det var af træ, og jeg vil erstatte det med et af jern.14Herren, den Almægtige, Israels Gud, siger: Jeg vil lægge et jernåg på alle disse nationers skuldre, og deres befolkning skal blive slaver under kong Nebukadnezar af Babylon. Jeg har lagt alt under hans herredømme, selv de vilde dyr.”15Efter at have overbragt budskabet til profeten Hananja tilføjede jeg: „Hør, Hananja, Herren har ikke sendt dig, og du har fået folket til at tro på en løgn.16Derfor siger Herren, at han vil fjerne dig fra jordens overflade. Du har gjort oprør mod Herren, og derfor skal du dø inden årets udgang.”17Og ganske rigtigt: To måneder senere døde Hananja.
King James Version
1And 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,2Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.3Within two full years will I bring again into this place all the vessels of the LORD' house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried them to Babylon:4And 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.5Then 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,6Even 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' house, and all that is carried away captive, from Babylon into this place.7Nevertheless hear thou now this word that I speak in thine ears, and in the ears of all the people;8The 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.9The 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.10Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah' neck, and brake it.11And 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.12Then 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,13Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Thou hast broken the yokes of wood; but thou shalt make for them yokes of iron.14For 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.15Then 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.16Therefore 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.17So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.
