Jer 28:1-17.
英文原文
Jer 28:1-17.
PROPHECIES IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THOSE IN THE TWENTY-SEVENTH CHAPTER. HANANIAH BREAKS THE YOKES TO SIGNIFY THAT NEBUCHADNEZZAR'S YOKE SHALL BE BROKEN. JEREMIAH FORETELLS THAT YOKES OF IRON ARE TO SUCCEED THOSE OF WOOD, AND THAT HANANIAH SHALL DIE.
1. in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah--The Jews often divided any period into two halves, the beginning and the end. As Zedekiah reigned eleven years, the fourth year would be called the beginning of his reign, especially as during the first three years affairs were in such a disturbed state that he had little power or dignity, being a tributary; but in the fourth year he became strong in power.
Hananiah--Another of this name was one of the three godly youths who braved Nebuchadnezzar's wrath in the fear of God
(Da 1:6, 7; 3:12).
Probably a near relation, for Azariah is associated with him; as Azur with the Hananiah here. The godly and ungodly are often in the same family
(Eze 18:14-20).
Gibeon--one of the cities of the priests, to which order he must have belonged.

2. 折斷了軛——我已定意折斷：指耶利米的預言
（Jer 27:12）。
英文原文
2. broken the yoke--I have determined to break: referring to Jeremiah's prophecy
(Jer 27:12).

3. 兩年——原文作「日子之年」。如「日子的一個月」，即其一切日子都完全
（Ge 29:14，
旁註；
Ge 41:1）。
在沒有任何神聖啟示的情況下，如此確定地說話，是極大的僭妄。
英文原文
3. two full years--literally, "years of days." So "a month of days," that is, all its days complete
(Ge 29:14,
Margin;
Ge 41:1).
It was marvellous presumption to speak so definitely without having any divine revelation.

4. 帶回……耶哥尼雅——並不一定暗示哈拿尼雅希望耶哥尼雅取代西底家。所要表達的重點是：從巴比倫的歸回將是完整的。但無疑地，這位假先知預言耶哥尼雅將歸回
(王下 24:12-15)，
以討好百姓——耶哥尼雅是百姓所喜愛的（參見
耶 22:24 註釋）。
英文原文
4. bring again . . . Jeconiah--not necessarily implying that Hananiah wished Zedekiah to be superseded by Jeconiah. The main point intended was that the restoration from Babylon should be complete. But, doubtless, the false prophet foretold Jeconiah's return
(2Ki 24:12-15),
to ingratiate himself with the populace, with whom Jeconiah was a favorite (see on
Jer 22:24).

5. 先知耶利米——「先知」這一稱號在本章中貫穿地加在「耶利米」之前，以與「哈拿尼雅」前同樣的稱號相對應；惟獨在
Jer 28:12
例外，該處的「先知」是英文欽定本（English Version）所增補的。如此一來，真先知與假先知彼此相爭的宣稱，便更顯對比鮮明。
英文原文
5. the prophet Jeremiah--the epithet, "the prophet," is prefixed to "Jeremiah" throughout this chapter, to correspond to the same epithet before "Hananiah"; except in
Jer 28:12,
where "the prophet" has been inserted in English Version. The rival claims of the true and the false prophet are thus put in the more prominent contrast.

6. 阿們——耶利米雖被迫說預言攻擊百姓，卻仍為他們禱告（1Ki 1:36）。在互相矛盾的預言之間，事情的應驗乃是被指定的考驗標準（De 18:21、22）。「但願你所說的是真的！」我寧可我的國家得平安，甚至勝過我自己的聲望。眾先知並不樂於宣告神的審判，而是出於嚴峻的責任如此行，並不因此就失去他們為國家災禍而憂傷的自然情感。試比較 Ex 32:32；Ro 9:3，這些都是神的僕人如何只專注於神的榮耀與國家的拯救，忘卻自己，在忘我的情感狀態中發出心願的例子。照樣，耶利米不願絲毫刪減神的話，但作為一個猶太人，他仍為自己的百姓發出心願〔CALVIN〕。
英文原文
6. Amen--Jeremiah prays for the people, though constrained to prophesy against them
(1Ki 1:36).
The event was the appointed test between contradictory predictions
(De 18:21, 22).
"Would that what you say were true!" I prefer the safety of my country even to my own estimation. The prophets had no pleasure in announcing God's judgment, but did so as a matter of stern duty, not thereby divesting themselves of their natural feelings of sorrow for their country's woe. Compare
Ex 32:32; Ro 9:3,
as instances of how God's servants, intent only on the glory of God and the salvation of the country, forgot self and uttered wishes in a state of feeling transported out of themselves. So Jeremiah wished not to diminish aught from the word of God, though as a Jew he uttered the wish for his people [CALVIN].

8. 先知……在我以前——何西阿、約珥、阿摩司等人。
災禍——少數抄本讀作「饑荒」，這更常與爭戰和瘟疫並列
(Jer 15:2; 18:21; 27:8, 13)。
但此處的災禍包含爭戰所引起的一切災難，不僅是饑荒，也包括荒涼等。災禍既是較難的讀法，便較不可能是抄錄者所加的，而饑荒大概是抄寫平行經文時所產生的。
英文原文
8. prophets . . . before me--Hosea, Joel, Amos, and others.
evil--a few manuscripts, read "famine," which is more usually associated with the specification of war and pestilence
(Jer 15:2; 18:21; 27:8, 13).
But evil here includes all the calamities flowing from war, not merely famine, but also desolation, &c. Evil, being the more difficult reading, is less likely to be the interpolated one than famine, which probably originated in copying the parallel passages.

9. 平安——哈拿尼雅並未警告人需要悔改歸正，而是無條件地預告興盛。耶利米並非說凡在任何事上預告真事的都是真先知（這為
De 13:1, 2
所否定）；他只是斷言其反面，即凡如哈拿尼雅那樣預告事件所不證實之事的，就是假先知。先知有兩個試驗標準：(1) 事件的應驗，
De 18:22。 (2) 神的話語， Isa 8:20。
英文原文
9. peace--Hananiah had given no warning as to the need of conversion, but had foretold prosperity unconditionally. Jeremiah does not say that all are true prophets who foretell truths in any instance (which
De 13:1, 2,
disproves); but asserts only the converse, namely, that whoever, as Hananiah, predicts what the event does not confirm, is a false prophet. There are two tests of prophets: (1) The event,
De 18:22.
(2) The word of God,
Isa 8:20.

10. 軛——（Jer 27:2）。他竟敢折斷神所指定、作為其話語應驗之莊嚴憑據的物件，實屬不敬的狂妄。因此耶利米不屑回覆（Jer 28:11；Mt 7:6）。
英文原文
10. the yoke--
(Jer 27:2).
Impious audacity to break what God had appointed as a solemn pledge of the fulfilment of His word. Hence Jeremiah deigns no reply
(Jer 28:11; Mt 7:6).

13. 你折斷了……木頭……你必做……鐵的——此處不是「你折斷了……木頭」與「我必做……鐵的」（比較
Jer 28:16)。
那些假先知勸猶大人背叛，使他們擺脫當時比較容易負的巴比倫軛，結果反而招致那城加給他們的更重的軛。「鐵軛」，暗指
De 28:48。
順服的路中負一個輕省的十字架，勝過自己招來更重的擔子壓在頭上。順服 humbling 的護理，便可逃避 destroying 的護理。屬靈上也是如此，請比較基督的「容易的軛」與律法的「奴僕的軛」
(Ac 15:10； Ga 5:1)。
英文原文
13. Thou hast broken . . . wood . . . thou shalt make . . . iron--Not here, "Thou hast broken . . . wood," and "I will make . . . iron" (compare
Jer 28:16).
The same false prophets who, by urging the Jews to rebel, had caused them to throw off the then comparatively easy yoke of Babylon, thereby brought on them a more severe yoke imposed by that city. "Yokes of iron," alluding to
De 28:48.
It is better to take up a light cross in our way, than to pull a heavier on our own heads. We may escape destroying providences by submitting to humbling providences. So, spiritually, contrast the "easy yoke" of Christ with the "yoke of bondage" of the law
(Ac 15:10; Ga 5:1).

14. 我已經放上——雖然哈拿尼雅及其同類是將鐵軛加於猶大的次要工具，神卻是首要的動因
(Jer 27:4-7)。
英文原文
14. I have put--Though Hananiah and those like him were secondary instruments in bringing the iron yoke on Judea, God was the great First Cause
(Jer 27:4-7).

16. 今年……死——這預言是在第五月說的
(Jer 28:1)；
哈拿尼雅的死發生在第七月，即預言之後兩個月之內，這與哈拿尼雅所預言巴比倫的軛將在兩年內結束的話，以可怕的意義相應。
背叛——敵擋神明確的指示，即所有人都當服從巴比倫
(Jer 29:32)。
英文原文
16. this year . . . die--The prediction was uttered in the fifth month
(Jer 28:1);
Hananiah's death took place in the seventh month, that is, within two months after the prediction, answering with awful significance to the two years in which Hananiah had foretold that the yoke imposed by Babylon would end.
rebellion--opposition to God's plain direction, that all should submit to Babylon
(Jer 29:32).
Jer 28:1-17.
緊接第二十七章預言之後的預言。哈拿尼雅打斷軛，以示尼布甲尼撒的軛將被折斷。耶利米預言木軛之後將有鐵軛接續，哈拿尼雅將死
1. 西底家作王初年——猶太人常將一段時期分為兩半，即初與終。西底家既作王十一年，其第四年便可稱為他作王的開首，尤其因為頭三年局勢如此動盪，他作為藩屬幾無權勢與尊嚴；但到了第四年他便強盛起來。
哈拿尼雅——另有一位同名者，是那三位在敬畏神中不怕尼布甲尼撒怒氣的敬虔少年之一
（Da 1:6, 7; 3:12）。
也許是近親，因亞撒利雅與他相連；如亞撒與此處的哈拿尼雅相連。敬虔人與不敬虔人常在同一個家庭中
（Eze 18:14-20）。
基遍——是祭司的城邑之一，他必屬於祭司的等次。
