Jeremiah 36
1 And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, [that] this word came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
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
2 Take thee a roll of a book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spoke unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day.
：「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，
3 It may be the house of Judah will hear all the evil that I purpose to do unto them, that they may return every man from his evil way, and that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.
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」。
4 And Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Nerijah; and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of Jehovah, which he had spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book.
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。
5 And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up, I cannot go into the house of Jehovah; but go thou in,
耶肋米亞吩咐巴路克說：「我被阻止，不能到上主的殿宇去，
6 and read in the roll, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of Jehovah in the ears of the people in the house of Jehovah upon the fast day; and thou shalt also read them in the ears of all Judah that come from their cities.
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，
7 It may be they will present their supplication before Jehovah, and that they will return every one from his evil way; for great is the anger and the fury that Jehovah hath pronounced against this people.
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! 」
8 And Baruch the son of Nerijah did according to all that the prophet Jeremiah commanded him, reading in the book the words of Jehovah in Jehovah's house.
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。
9 And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, in the ninth month, [that] they proclaimed a fast before Jehovah, for all the people in Jerusalem, and for all the people that came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem.
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。
10 And Baruch read in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of Jehovah, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the upper court, at the entry of the new gate of the house of Jehovah, in the ears of all the people.
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。
11 And Micah the son of Gemariah the son of Shaphan heard out of the book all the words of Jehovah;
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，
12 and he went down to the king's house, into the scribe's chamber, and behold, all the princes were sitting there: Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan the son of Achbor, and Gemariah the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes.
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。
13 And Micah declared unto them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read in the book in the ears of the people.
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。
14 And all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, unto Baruch, saying, Take in thy hand the roll in which thou hast read in the ears of the people, and come. And Baruch the son of Nerijah took the roll in his hand, and came unto them.
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。
15 And they said unto him, Sit down now, and read it in our ears. And Baruch read [it] in their ears.
你們對他說：「請坐，讀給我們聽! 」巴路克讀給他們聽了。
16 And it came to pass, when they heard all the words, they turned in fear one toward another, and said unto Baruch, We will certainly report to the king all these words.
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! 」
17 And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How didst thou write all these words from his mouth?
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﹖」
18 And Baruch said unto them, He pronounced all these words unto me with his mouth, and I wrote [them] with ink in the book.
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」。
19 And the princes said unto Baruch, Go, hide thee, thou and Jeremiah; that none may know where ye are.
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」。
20 And they went in unto the king into the court, but they laid up the roll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe; and they told all the words in the ears of the king.
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。
21 And the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll, and he fetched it out of the chamber of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes that stood beside the king.
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。
22 Now the king was sitting in the winter-house in the ninth month, and with the fire-pan burning before him.
那時正是九月，君王住在冬宮裏，面前正燒著一盆火，
23 And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four columns, he cut it with the scribe's knife, and cast it into the fire that was in the pan until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was in the pan.
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。
24 And they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, [neither] the king nor any of his servants that heard all these words.
君王與眾臣僕言這一切話，毫不害怕，也不撕裂自己的衣服，
25 Moreover, Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the roll; but he would not hear them.
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，
26 And the king commanded Jerahmeel the son of Hammelech, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; but Jehovah hid them.
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。
27 And after that the king had burned the roll, and the words that Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah, saying,
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：
28 Take thee again another roll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first roll which Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath burned.
「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。
29 And thou shalt say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, Thus saith Jehovah: Thou hast burned this roll, saying, Why hast thou written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from it man and beast?
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﹖
30 Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David; and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.
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。
31 And I will visit their iniquity upon him, and upon his seed, and upon his servants; and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them; and they have not hearkened.
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」。
32 And Jeremiah took another roll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Nerijah; and he wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah, all the words of the book that Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire; and there were added besides unto them many like words.
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。
