耶利米書28:1-17

28:1 當年，就是猶大王西底家登基第四年五月，基遍人押朔的兒子，先知哈拿尼雅，在耶和華的殿中當著祭司和眾民對我說：
28:2 「萬軍之耶和華─以色列的上帝如此說：我已經折斷巴比倫王的軛。
28:3 二年之內，我要將巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒從這地掠到巴比倫的器皿，就是耶和華殿中的一切器皿都帶回此地。
28:4 我又要將猶大王約雅敬的兒子耶哥尼雅和被擄到巴比倫去的一切猶大人帶回此地，因為我要折斷巴比倫王的軛。這是耶和華說的。」
28:5 先知耶利米當著祭司和站在耶和華殿裡的眾民對先知哈拿尼雅說：
28:6 「阿們！願耶和華如此行，願耶和華成就你所預言的話，將耶和華殿中的器皿和一切被擄去的人從巴比倫帶回此地。
28:7 然而我向你和眾民耳中所要說的話，你應當聽。
28:8 從古以來，在你我以前的先知，向多國和大邦說預言，論到爭戰、災禍、瘟疫的事。
28:9 先知預言的平安，到話語成就的時候，人便知道他真是耶和華所差來的。」
28:10 於是，先知哈拿尼雅將先知耶利米頸項上的軛取下來，折斷了。
28:11 哈拿尼雅又當著眾民說：「耶和華如此說：二年之內我必照樣從列國人的頸項上折斷巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒的軛。」於是先知耶利米就走了。
28:12 先知哈拿尼雅把先知耶利米頸項上的軛折斷以後，耶和華的話臨到耶利米說：
28:13 「你去告訴哈拿尼雅說，耶和華如此說：你折斷木軛，卻換了鐵軛！
28:14 因為萬軍之耶和華─以色列的上帝如此說：我已將鐵軛加在這些國的頸項上，使他們服事巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒，他們總要服事他；我也把田野的走獸給了他。」
28:15 於是先知耶利米對先知哈拿尼雅說：「哈拿尼雅啊，你應當聽！耶和華並沒有差遣你，你竟使這百姓倚靠謊言。
28:16 所以耶和華如此說：看哪，我要叫你去世，你今年必死，因為你向耶和華說了叛逆的話。」
28:17 這樣，先知哈拿尼雅當年七月間就死了。​​

In that same year, at the beginning of the reign of King Zedekiah of Judah, in the fifth month of the fourth year, the prophet Hananiah son of Azzur, from Gibeon, spoke to me in the house of the Lord, in the presence of the priests and all the people, saying, ²“Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon. ³Within two years I will bring back to this place all the vessels of the Lord’s house, which King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon took away from this place and carried to Babylon. ⁴I will also bring back to this place King Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim of Judah, and all the exiles from 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 all the people who were standing in the house of the Lord; ⁶and the prophet Jeremiah said, “Amen! May the Lord do so; may the Lord fulfill the words that you have prophesied, and bring back to this place from Babylon the vessels of the house of the Lord, and all the exiles. ⁷But listen now to this word that I speak in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people. ⁸The prophets who preceded you and me from ancient times prophesied war, famine, and pestilence against many countries and great kingdoms. ⁹As for the prophet who prophesies peace, when the word of that prophet comes true, then it will be known that the Lord has truly sent the prophet.”

¹⁰ Then the prophet Hananiah took the yoke from the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, and broke it. ¹¹And Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, “Thus says the Lord: This is how I will break the yoke of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon from the neck of all the nations within two years.” At this, the prophet Jeremiah went his way.

¹² Sometime after the prophet Hananiah had broken the yoke from the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: ¹³Go, tell Hananiah, Thus says the Lord: You have broken wooden bars only to forge iron bars in place of them! ¹⁴For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: I have put an iron yoke on the neck of all these nations so that they may serve King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, and they shall indeed serve him; I have even given him the wild animals. ¹⁵And the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah, “Listen, Hananiah, the Lord has not sent you, and you made this people trust in a lie. ¹⁶Therefore thus says the Lord: I am going to send you off the face of the earth. Within this year you will be dead, because you have spoken rebellion against the Lord.”

¹⁷ In that same year, in the seventh month, the prophet Hananiah died.

    這是先知耶利米和假先知哈拿尼雅之間的爭論，卻讓我們看見上帝的作為，使我們清楚：真正的先知是耶利米！因為上帝使哈拿尼雅當年七月間就死了，這就是證明了耶利米是先知。

    因此，我們做上帝僕人的人，不要怕假先知的挑戰，更不要為他們感到威脅。雖然他們的氣燄囂張，更是許多人支持他們，讓我們感到勢單力薄。但是，我們的能力和支持是從看不見的上帝來的，因為祂是全能的，一切都在他的掌握之下！

    我們要勇敢的宣揚上帝的話語，做一個真正的先知！因為，上帝是我們永遠的支持，有上帝的同在勝過一切！不僅如此，我們要永遠與基督一同得榮耀，一同做王到永遠！
