耶利米書 36
1 猶大王約西亞的兒子約雅敬第四年，耶和華的話臨到耶利米說：
And it comes to pass, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, this word has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
2 「你取一書卷，將我對你說攻擊以色列和猶大，並各國的一切話，從我對你說話的那日，就是從約西亞的日子起直到今日，都寫在其上。
“Take a roll of a scroll to yourself, and you have written on it all the words that I have spoken to you concerning Israel, and concerning Judah, and concerning all the nations, from the day I spoke to you, from the days of Josiah, even to this day;
3 或者猶大家聽見我想要降與他們的一切災禍，各人就回頭，離開惡道，我好赦免他們的罪孽和罪惡。」
perhaps the house of Israel so hears all the evil that I am thinking of doing to them, so that they each turn back from his evil way, and I have been propitious to their iniquity, and to their sin.”
4 所以，耶利米召了尼利亞的兒子巴錄來；巴錄就從耶利米口中，將耶和華對耶利米所說的一切話寫在書卷上。
And Jeremiah calls Baruch son of Neriah, and Baruch writes from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of YHWH, that He has spoken to him, on a roll of a scroll.
5 耶利米吩咐巴錄說：「我被拘管，不能進耶和華的殿。
And Jeremiah commands Baruch, saying, “I am restrained, I am not able to enter the house of YHWH;
6 所以你要去趁禁食的日子，在耶和華殿中將耶和華的話，就是你從我口中所寫在書卷上的話，念給百姓和一切從猶大城邑出來的人聽。
but you have entered—and you have read in the scroll that you have written from my mouth, the words of YHWH, in the ears of the people, in the house of YHWH, in the day of the fast, and you also read them in the ears of all Judah who are coming in from their cities;
7 或者他們在耶和華面前懇求各人回頭，離開惡道，因為耶和華向這百姓所說要發的怒氣和忿怒是大的。」
perhaps their supplication so falls before YHWH, and they each turn back from his evil way, for the anger and the fury that YHWH has spoken concerning this people [is] great.”
8 尼利亞的兒子巴錄就照先知耶利米一切所吩咐的去行，在耶和華的殿中從書上念耶和華的話。
And Baruch son of Neriah does according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, to read in the scroll the words of YHWH in the house of YHWH.
9 猶大王約西亞的兒子約雅敬第五年九月，耶路撒冷的眾民和那從猶大城邑來到耶路撒冷的眾民，在耶和華面前宣告禁食的日子，
And it comes to pass, in the fifth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth month, they proclaimed a fast before YHWH to all the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people who are coming in from cities of Judah to Jerusalem;
10 巴錄就在耶和華殿的上院，耶和華殿的新門口，沙番的兒子文士基瑪利雅的屋內，念書上耶利米的話給眾民聽。
and Baruch reads in the scroll the words of Jeremiah in the house of YHWH, in the chamber of Gemariah son of Shaphan the scribe, in the higher court, at the opening of the New Gate of the house of YHWH, in the ears of all the people.
11 沙番的孫子、基瑪利雅的兒子米該亞聽見書上耶和華的一切話，
And Michaiah son of Gemariah, son of Shaphan, hears all the words of YHWH from off the scroll,
12 他就下到王宮，進入文士的屋子。眾首領，就是文士以利沙瑪、示瑪雅的兒子第萊雅、亞革波的兒子以利拿單、沙番的兒子基瑪利雅、哈拿尼雅的兒子西底家，和其餘的首領都坐在那裏。
and he goes down [to] the house of the king, to the chamber of the scribe, and behold, there all the heads are sitting: Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan son of Acbor, and Gemariah son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the heads.
13 於是米該亞對他們述說他所聽見的一切話，就是巴錄向百姓念那書的時候所聽見的。
And Micaiah declares to them all the words that he has heard when Baruch reads in the scroll in the ears of the people;
14 眾首領就打發古示的曾孫、示利米雅的孫子、尼探雅的兒子猶底到巴錄那裏，對他說：「你將所念給百姓聽的書卷拿在手中到我們這裏來。」尼利亞的兒子巴錄就手拿書卷來到他們那裏。
and all the heads send to Baruch, Jehudi son of Nethaniah, son of Shelemiah, son of Cushi, saying, “Take in your hand the scroll, which you have read in the ears of the people, and come.” And Baruch son of Neriah takes the scroll in his hand and comes to them,
15 他們對他說：「請你坐下，念給我們聽。」巴錄就念給他們聽。
and they say to him, “Please sit down and read it in our ears,” and Baruch reads [it] in their ears,
16 他們聽見這一切話就害怕，面面相觀，對巴錄說：「我們必須將這一切話告訴王。」
and it comes to pass, when they hear all the words, they have been afraid—one to another—and say to Baruch, “We surely declare all these words to the king.”
17 他們問巴錄說：「請你告訴我們，你怎樣從他口中寫這一切話呢？」
And they asked Baruch, saying, “Please declare to us, how did you write all these words from his mouth?”
18 巴錄回答說：「他用口向我說這一切話，我就用筆墨寫在書上。」
And Baruch says to them, “He pronounces from his mouth all these words to me, and I am writing on the scroll with ink.”
19 眾首領對巴錄說：「你和耶利米要去藏起來，不可叫人知道你們在哪裏。」
And the heads say to Baruch, “Go, be hidden, you and Jeremiah, and let no one know where you [are].”
20 眾首領進院見王，卻先把書卷存在文士以利沙瑪的屋內，以後將這一切話說給王聽。
And they go to the king, to the court, and they have laid up the scroll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and they declare all the words in the ears of the king.
21 王就打發猶底去拿這書卷來，他便從文士以利沙瑪的屋內取來，念給王和王左右侍立的眾首領聽。
And the king sends Jehudi to take the scroll, and he takes it out of the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and Jehudi reads it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the heads who are standing by the king;
22 那時正是九月，王坐在過冬的房屋裏，王的前面火盆中有燒着的火。
and the king is sitting in the winter-house, in the ninth month, and the stove is burning before him,
23 猶底念了三四篇，王就用文士的刀將書卷割破，扔在火盆中，直到全卷在火中燒盡了。
and it comes to pass, when Jehudi reads three or four leaves, he cuts it out with the scribe’s knife, and has cast [it] into the fire that [is] on the stove, until the consumption of all the scroll by the fire that [is] on the stove.
24 王和聽見這一切話的臣僕都不懼怕，也不撕裂衣服。
And the king and all his servants who are hearing all these words have not been afraid, nor torn their garments.
25 以利拿單和第萊雅，並基瑪利雅懇求王不要燒這書卷，他卻不聽。
And also Elnathan, and Delaiah, and Gemariah have interceded with the king not to burn the scroll, and he has not listened to them.
26 王就吩咐哈米勒的兒子耶拉篾和亞斯列的兒子西萊雅，並亞伯疊的兒子示利米雅，去捉拿文士巴錄和先知耶利米。耶和華卻將他們隱藏。
And the king commands Jerahmeel son of Hammelek, and Seraiah son of Azriel, and Shelemiah son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet, and YHWH hides them.
27 王燒了書卷（其上有巴錄從耶利米口中所寫的話）以後，耶和華的話臨到耶利米說：
And there is a word of YHWH to Jeremiah—after the king’s burning the scroll, even the words that Baruch has written from the mouth of Jeremiah—saying:
28 「你再取一卷，將猶大王約雅敬所燒第一卷上的一切話寫在其上。
“Turn, take another scroll to yourself, and write on it all the former words that were on the first scroll that Jehoiakim king of Judah burned,
29 論到猶大王約雅敬你要說，耶和華如此說：你燒了書卷，說：『你為甚麼在其上寫着，說巴比倫王必要來毀滅這地，使這地上絕了人民牲畜呢？』
and say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, Thus said YHWH: You have burned this scroll, saying, Why have you written on it, saying, The king of Babylon surely comes in, and has destroyed this land, and caused man and beast to cease from it?
30 所以耶和華論到猶大王約雅敬說：他後裔中必沒有人坐在大衛的寶座上；他的屍首必被拋棄，白日受炎熱，黑夜受寒霜。
Therefore, thus said YHWH concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: He has none sitting on the throne of David, and his carcass is cast out to heat by day, and to cold by night;
31 我必因他和他後裔，並他臣僕的罪孽刑罰他們。我要使我所說的一切災禍臨到他們和耶路撒冷的居民，並猶大人；只是他們不聽。」
and I have charged on him, and on his seed, and on his servants, their iniquity; and I have brought in on them, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the men of Judah, all the evil that I have spoken to them, and they did not listen.”
32 於是，耶利米又取一書卷交給尼利亞的兒子文士巴錄，他就從耶利米的口中寫了猶大王約雅敬所燒前卷上的一切話，另外又添了許多相彷的話。
And Jeremiah has taken another scroll, and gives it to Baruch son of Neriah the scribe, and he writes on it from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the scroll that Jehoiakim king of Judah has burned in the fire; and again there were added to them many words like these.
