耶利米書 36
1 猶大王史約雅內的兒子約雅金第四年，上主有話傳給耶肋米亞說
And in the fourth yeere of Iehoiakim the sonne of Iosiah King of Iudah, came this word vnto Ieremiah from the Lord, saying,
2 ：「你拿卷冊來，寫上自我由約史雅時日，對你說話那一天以來，直到今日，關於耶路撒冷和猶大及列邦對你所說的一切話，
Take thee a roule or booke, and write therein all the wordes that I haue spoken to thee against Israel, and against Iudah, and against all the nations, from the day that I spake vnto thee, euen from the dayes of Iosiah vnto this day.
3 也許猶大家聽了我有意對他們施行的一切災禍，會各自離棄自己的邳道，叫我好寬恕他們的過犯和罪惡」。
It may bee that the House of Iudah will heare of all the euill, which I determined to doe vnto them that they may returne euery man from his euil way, that I may forgiue their iniquitie and their sinnes.
4 於是耶肋米亞叫了乃雅黎的兒子巴路克來；路克來依照耶肋米亞的口授，在卷冊上寫上了上主對先知說的一切話。
Then Ieremiah called Baruch the sonne of Neriah, and Baruch wrote at the mouth of Ieremiah all the wordes of the Lord, which hee had spoken vnto him, vpon a roule or booke.
5 耶肋米亞吩咐巴路克說：「我被阻止，不能到上主的殿宇去，
And Ieremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut vp, and can not go into the House of the Lord.
6 所以你去，在一個禁食的日子上，誦讀卷冊上依我口授寫的上主的話，給在上主殿裏的全體人民聽，也讀給來自各城的全體猶大人聽，
Therefore goe thou, and reade the roule wherein thou hast written at my mouth the words of the Lord in the audience of the people in the Lordes House vpon the fasting day: also thou shalt reade them in the hearing of all Iudah, that come out of their cities.
7 也許他們會向上主哀求，各自會離棄自己的邳道，因為上主對這人民用以恐嚇的憤恨和憤怒，真正厲害! 」
It may be that they will pray before the Lord, and euery one returne from his euill way, for great is the anger and the wrath, that the Lord hath declared against this people.
8 乃黎雅的兒子巴路克全按耶肋米亞先知吩咐的做了：在上主殿宇裏，宣讀了卷冊上主的話。
So Baruch the sonne of Neriah did according vnto all, that Ieremiah the Prophet commanded him, reading in the booke the wordes of the Lord in the Lords House.
9 猶大王約史雅的兒子約雅金第五年九月，耶路撒冷全體人民以及從猶大城市來到耶路撒冷的全體人民，集合在上主面前宣佈禁食。
And in the fift yeere of Iehoiakim the sonne of Iosiah King of Iudah, in the ninth moneth, they proclaimed a fast before the Lord to all the people in Ierusalem, and to all the people that came from the cities of Iudah vnto Ierusalem.
10 巴路克就乘機在上主殿宇內，沙番的兒子革馬黎雅書記的房子那裏，即上院靠近上主殿宇新門的進口處，宣讀卷冊上耶肋米亞的話，給全體人民聽。
Then read Baruch in the booke the wordes of Ieremiah in the house of the Lord, in the chamber of Gemariah the sonne of Shaphan the secretarie, in the hier court at the entrie of the new gate of the Lordes house, in the hearing of all the people.
11 沙番的兒子革馬黎雅的兒子米加雅，聽了卷冊上所有的上主的話，
When Michaiah the sonne of Gemariah, the sonne of Shaphan had heard out of the booke all the wordes of the Lord,
12 就下到王宮書記的事務所內，看，眾首長都正坐在那裏，有書記厄里沙瑪，舍瑪雅的兒子德拉雅，阿革波爾的兒子厄耳納堂，沙番的兒子革馬黎雅，哈紇尼雅的兒子漆德克雅和其餘的首長。
Then hee went downe to the Kings house into the Chancellours chamber, and loe, all the princes sate there, euen Elishama the Chancellour, and Delaiah the sonne of Shemaiah, and Elnathan the sonne of Achbor, and Gemariah the sonne of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the sonne of Hananiah, and all the princes.
13 米加雅就把自己在巴路克給人民宣讀卷冊時所聽到的所有話，告訴了他們。
Then Michaiah declared vnto them all the wordes that he had heard when Baruch read in the booke in the audience of the people.
14 眾首長便派乃塔尼雅的兒子猶狄和雇史的兒子舍肋米亞到巴路克那裏說：「請你來，並請你隨手帶上你讀給人民的那軸卷冊」。乃肋米亞的兒子巴路克立即手內拿上那軸卷冊，到他們那裏去了。
Therefore all the princes sent Iehudi the sonne of Nethaniah, the sonne of Shelemiah, the sonne of Chushi, vnto Baruch, saying, Take in thine hande the roule, wherein thou hast read in the audience of the people, and come. So Baruch the sonne of Neriah, tooke the roule in his hand, and came vnto them.
15 你們對他說：「請坐，讀給我們聽! 」巴路克讀給他們聽了。
And they saide vnto him, Sit downe now, and reade it, that we may heare. So Baruch read it in their audience.
16 他們聽了這一切話，彼此不勝驚慌說：「我們必須將這一切話稟告君王! 」
Now when they had heard all the wordes, they were afraid both one and other, and said vnto Baruch, We will certifie the King of all these wordes.
17 然後問巴路克說：「請你告訴我們：你怎樣由耶肋米亞的口授寫了這一切話﹖」
And they examined Baruch, saying, Tell vs nowe, howe diddest thou write all these wordes at his mouth?
18 巴路克答覆他們說：「這一切話都是他口授給我的，我只不過用筆記錄在這卷冊上」。
Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced all these wordes vnto me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ynke in the booke.
19 於是首長對巴路克說：「你快去和耶肋米亞藏起來，不要讓人知道你們藏在哪裏」。
Then saide the princes vnto Baruch, Goe, hide thee, thou and Ieremiah, and let no man knowe where ye be.
20 然後他們一同到內殿去拜見君王，那卷冊卻留在書記厄里沙瑪室內，只將這一切話稟告了君王。
And they went in to the King to the court, but they layde vp the roule in the chamber of Elishama the Chancellour and tolde the King all the wordes, that he might heare.
21 君王於是打發猶狄去取那軸卷冊；猶狄由書記厄里沙瑪室內取了來，讀給君王和環立在君王旁的眾朝臣聽。
So the King sent Iehudi to fet the roule, and he tooke it out of Elishama the Chancellours chamber, and Iehudi read it in the audience of the King, and in the audience of all the princes, which stoode beside the King.
22 那時正是九月，君王住在冬宮裏，面前正燒著一盆火，
Nowe the King sate in the winter House, in the ninth moneth, and there was a fire burning before him.
23 猶狄只讀了三四行，君王就用書記的刀把它割下，拋在火盆裏，直到那卷冊在火盆內被燒盡。
And when Iehudi had read three, or foure sides, hee cut it with the penknife and cast it into the fire, that was on the hearth vntil all the roule was consumed in the fire, that was on the hearth.
24 君王與眾臣僕言這一切話，毫不害怕，也不撕裂自己的衣服，
Yet they were not afraide, nor rent their garmets, neither the King, nor any of his seruants, that heard all these wordes.
25 雖然厄耳納堂和德拉雅及革瑪黎雅曾苦苦哀求君王不要燒毀那軸卷冊，
Neuerthelesse, Elnathan, and Delaiah, and Gemariah had besought the King, that he would not burne ye roule: but he would not heare them.
26 反命王子耶辣默耳，阿次黎耳的兒子色辣雅和哈德耳的兒子舍肋米雅，去逮捕書記巴路克和先知耶肋米亞；但是上主卻將他們藏起來了。
But the King commanded Ierahmeel the sonne of Hammelech, and Seraiah the sonne of Azriel, and Shelemiah the sonne of Abdiel, to take Baruch the scribe, and Ieremiah the Prophet, but the Lord hid them.
27 君王焚燒了那軸載有巴路克由耶肋米亞口授記錄的話的卷冊以後，有上主的話傳給耶肋米亞說：
Then the word of the Lord came to Ieremiah (after that the King had burnt the roule and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Ieremiah) saying,
28 「你拿另一卷冊來，寫上猶大王約雅金所燒毀的前一軸卷冊上的一切話。
Take thee againe another roule and write in it all ye former words that were in the first roule which Iehoiakim the King of Iudah hath burnt,
29 關於猶大王約雅金你應說：上主這樣說：你燒毀了這軸卷冊說：為什麼你在上面寫道：巴比倫王必來破壞這地方，消滅這地方 的人民和獸﹖
And thou shalt say to Iehoiakim King of Iudah, Thus saith the Lord, Thou hast burnt this roule, saying, Why hast thou written therein, saying, that the King of Babel shall certainly come and destroye this land, and shall take thence both man and beast?
30 為此上主關於猶大王約雅金這樣說：他必沒有人繼坐達味的寶座，死後必棄屍原野，遭受日晒夜露。
Therefore thus saith the Lord of Iehoiakim King of Iudah, Hee shall haue none to sit vpon the throne of Dauid, and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heate, and in the night to the frost.
31 對他和他的後裔及臣僕，我要懲罰他們的罪惡，給他們和耶路撒冷居民及猶大人，召來我向他們預告，他們卻不理會的一切災禍」。
And I will visite him and his seede, and his seruants for their iniquitie, and I will bring vpon them, and vpon the inhabitants of Ierusalem, and vpon the men of Iudah all the euil that I haue pronounced against them: but they would not heare.
32 耶肋米亞就拿來另一軸卷冊，交給書記乃黎雅的兒子巴路克。巴路克依照耶肋米亞的口授，在上面筆錄了猶大王約雅金，在火中燒毀了的那卷冊上所有的話；並且還加添了許多相類似的話。
Then tooke Ieremiah another roule, and gaue it Baruch the scribe the sonne of Neriah, which wrote therein at the mouth of Ieremiah all the wordes of the booke which Iehoiakim King of Iudah had burnt in the fire, and there were added besides them many like wordes.
