Jeremiah 36
1 In the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the LORD:
et factum est in anno quarto Ioachim filii Iosiae regis Iuda factum est verbum hoc ad Hieremiam a Domino dicens
2 “Take a scroll and write on it all the words I have spoken to you concerning Israel, Judah, and all the nations, from the day I first spoke to you during the reign of Josiah until today.
tolle volumen libri et scribes in eo omnia verba quae locutus sum tibi adversum Israhel et Iudam et adversum omnes gentes a die qua locutus sum ad te ex diebus Iosiae usque ad diem hanc
3 Perhaps when the people of Judah hear about all the calamity I plan to bring upon them, each of them will turn from his wicked way. Then I will forgive their iniquity and their sin.”
si forte audiente domo Iuda universa mala quae ego cogito facere eis revertatur unusquisque a via sua pessima et propitius ero iniquitati et peccato eorum
4 So Jeremiah called Baruch son of Neriah, and at the dictation of Jeremiah, Baruch wrote on a scroll all the words that the LORD had spoken to Jeremiah.
vocavit ergo Hieremias Baruch filium Neriae et scripsit Baruch ex ore Hieremiae omnes sermones Domini quos locutus est ad eum in volumine libri
5 Then Jeremiah commanded Baruch, “I am restricted; I cannot enter the house of the LORD;
et praecepit Hieremias Baruch dicens ego clausus sum nec valeo ingredi domum Domini
6 so you are to go to the house of the LORD on a day of fasting, and in the hearing of the people you are to read the words of the LORD from the scroll you have written at my dictation. Read them in the hearing of all the people of Judah who are coming from their cities.
ingredere ergo tu et lege de volumine in quo scripsisti ex ore meo verba Domini audiente populo in domo Domini in die ieiunii insuper et audiente universo Iuda qui veniunt de civitatibus suis leges eis
7 Perhaps they will bring their petition before the LORD, and each one will turn from his wicked way; for great are the anger and fury that the LORD has pronounced against this people.”
si forte cadat oratio eorum in conspectu Domini et revertatur unusquisque a via sua pessima quoniam magnus furor et indignatio quam locutus est Dominus adversum populum hunc
8 So Baruch son of Neriah did everything that Jeremiah the prophet had commanded him. In the house of the LORD he read the words of the LORD from the scroll.
et fecit Baruch filius Neriae iuxta omnia quae praeceperat ei Hieremias propheta legens ex volumine sermones Domini in domo Domini
9 Now in the ninth month of the fifth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, a fast before the LORD was proclaimed to all the people of Jerusalem and all who had come there from the cities of Judah.
factum est autem in anno quinto Ioachim filii Iosiae regis Iuda in mense nono praedicaverunt ieiunium in conspectu Domini omni populo in Hierusalem et universae multitudini quae confluxerat de civitatibus Iuda in Hierusalem
10 From the chamber of Gemariah son of Shaphan the scribe, which was in the upper courtyard at the opening of the New Gate of the house of the LORD, Baruch read from the scroll the words of Jeremiah in the hearing of all the people.
legitque Baruch ex volumine sermones Hieremiae in domo Domini in gazofilacio Gamariae filii Saphan scribae in vestibulo superiori in introitu portae novae domus Domini audiente omni populo
11 When Micaiah son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, heard all the words of the LORD from the scroll,
cumque audisset Micheas filius Gamariae filii Saphan omnes sermones Domini ex libro
12 he went down to the scribe’s chamber in the king’s palace, where all the officials were sitting: Elishama the scribe, Delaiah son of Shemaiah, Elnathan son of Achbor, Gemariah son of Shaphan, Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the other officials.
descendit in domum regis ad gazofilacium scribae et ecce ibi omnes principes sedebant Elisama scriba et Dalaias filius Semeiae et Elnathan filius Achobor et Gamarias filius Saphan et Sedecias filius Ananiae et universi principes
13 And Micaiah reported to them all the words he had heard Baruch read from the scroll in the hearing of the people.
et nuntiavit eis Micheas omnia verba quae audivit legente Baruch ex volumine in auribus populi
14 Then all the officials sent word to Baruch through Jehudi son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, saying, “Bring the scroll that you read in the hearing of the people, and come here.” So Baruch son of Neriah took the scroll and went to them.
miserunt itaque omnes principes ad Baruch Iudi filium Nathaniae filii Selemiae filii Chusi dicentes volumen ex quo legisti audiente populo sume in manu tua et veni tulit ergo Baruch filius Neriae volumen in manu sua et venit ad eos
15 “Please sit down,” they said, “and read it in our hearing.” So Baruch read it in their hearing.
et dixerunt ad eum sede et lege haec in auribus nostris et legit Baruch in auribus eorum
16 When they had heard all these words, they turned to one another in fear and said to Baruch, “Surely we must report all these words to the king.”
igitur cum audissent omnia verba obstipuerunt unusquisque ad proximum suum et dixerunt ad Baruch nuntiare debemus regi omnes sermones istos
17 “Tell us now,” they asked Baruch, “how did you write all these words? Was it at Jeremiah’s dictation?”
et interrogaverunt eum dicentes indica nobis quomodo scripsisti omnes sermones istos ex ore eius
18 “It was at his dictation,” Baruch replied. “He recited all these words to me and I wrote them in ink on the scroll.”
dixit autem eis Baruch ex ore suo loquebatur quasi legens ad me omnes sermones istos et ego scribebam in volumine atramento
19 Then the officials said to Baruch, “You and Jeremiah must hide yourselves and tell no one where you are.”
et dixerunt principes ad Baruch vade et abscondere tu et Hieremias et nemo sciat ubi sitis
20 So the officials went to the king in the courtyard. And having stored the scroll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, they reported everything to the king.
et ingressi sunt ad regem in atrium porro volumen commendaverunt in gazofilacio Elisamae scribae et nuntiaverunt audiente rege omnes sermones
21 Then the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and he took it from the chamber of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi read it in the hearing of the king and all the officials who were standing beside him.
misitque rex Iudi ut sumeret volumen qui tollens illud de gazofilacio Elisamae scribae legit audiente rege et universis principibus qui stabant circa regem
22 Since it was the ninth month, the king was sitting in his winter quarters with a fire burning before him.
rex autem sedebat in domo hiemali in mense nono et posita erat arula coram eo plena prunis
23 And as soon as Jehudi had read three or four columns, Jehoiakim would cut them off with a scribe’s knife and throw them into the firepot, until the entire scroll had been consumed by the fire.
cumque legisset Iudi tres pagellas vel quattuor scidit illud scalpello scribae et proiecit in igne qui erat super arulam donec consumeretur omne volumen igni qui erat in arula
24 Yet in hearing all these words, the king and his servants did not become frightened or tear their garments.
et non timuerunt neque sciderunt vestimenta sua rex et omnes servi eius qui audierunt universos sermones istos
25 Even though Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah urged the king not to burn the scroll, he would not listen to them.
verumtamen Elnathan et Dalaias et Gamarias contradixerunt regi ne conbureret librum et non audivit eos
26 Instead, the king commanded Jerahmeel, a son of the king, as well as Seraiah son of Azriel and Shelemiah son of Abdeel, to seize Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet. But the LORD had hidden them.
et praecepit rex Hieremahel filio Ammelech et Saraiae filio Ezrihel et Selemiae filio Abdehel ut conprehenderent Baruch scribam et Hieremiam prophetam abscondit autem eos Dominus
27 After the king had burned the scroll containing the words that Baruch had written at Jeremiah’s dictation, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
et factum est verbum Domini ad Hieremiam postquam conbuserat rex volumen et sermones quos scripserat Baruch ex ore Hieremiae dicens
28 “Take another scroll and rewrite on it the very words that were on the original scroll, which Jehoiakim king of Judah has burned.
rursum tolle volumen aliud et scribe in eo omnes sermones priores qui erant in volumine primo quod conbusit Ioachim rex Iuda
29 You are to proclaim concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah that this is what the LORD says: You have burned the scroll and said, ‘Why have you written on it that the king of Babylon would surely come and destroy this land and deprive it of man and beast?’
et ad Ioachim regem Iuda dices haec dicit Dominus tu conbusisti volumen illud dicens quare scripsisti in eo adnuntians festinus veniet rex Babylonis et vastabit terram hanc et cessare faciet ex illa hominem et iumentum
30 Therefore this is what the LORD says about Jehoiakim king of Judah: He will have no one to sit on David’s throne, and his body will be thrown out and exposed to heat by day and frost by night.
propterea haec dicit Dominus contra Ioachim regem Iuda non erit ex eo qui sedeat super solium David et cadaver eius proicietur ad aestum per diem et ad gelu per noctem
31 I will punish him and his descendants and servants for their iniquity. I will bring on them, on the residents of Jerusalem, and on the men of Judah, all the calamity about which I warned them but they did not listen.”
et visitabo contra eum et contra semen eius et contra servos eius iniquitates suas et adducam super eos et super habitatores Hierusalem et super viros Iuda omne malum quod locutus sum ad eos et non audierunt
32 Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to the scribe Baruch son of Neriah, and at Jeremiah’s dictation he wrote on it all the words of the scroll that Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire. And many similar words were added to them.
Hieremias autem tulit volumen aliud et dedit illud Baruch filio Neriae scribae qui scripsit in eo ex ore Hieremiae omnes sermones libri quem conbuserat Ioachim rex Iuda igni et insuper additi sunt sermones multo plures quam ante fuerant
