Jeremiah 36
1 This message from the Lord came to Jeremiah in the fourth year of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah:
et factum est in anno quarto Ioachim filii Iosiae regis Iuda factum est verbum hoc ad Hieremiam a Domino dicens
2 Get a scroll and write down everything I've told you condemning Israel, Judah, and all the other nations, from the time I first spoke to you during the reign of Josiah right up till now.
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 Maybe when the people of Judah hear about all the disasters I plan to bring down on them, everyone will stop their evil ways. Then I will forgive their guilt and 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 to come, and while Jeremiah dictated, Baruch wrote down on a scroll everything that the Lord had told 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 gave Baruch these instructions: “I'm a prisoner here so I can't go into the Lord's Temple.
et praecepit Hieremias Baruch dicens ego clausus sum nec valeo ingredi domum Domini
6 So you have to go to the Lord's Temple on a day when people are fasting, and read to them the Lord's messages from the scroll I dictated to you. Read them to all the people of Judah who come in from their towns.
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 Maybe they will come and ask the Lord for forgiveness, and all of them will stop their evil ways, for the Lord is threatening terrible anger against them.”
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 Baruch son of Neriah did exactly what Jeremiah the prophet had told him to do. He went and read the Lord's message from the scroll in the Temple.
et fecit Baruch filius Neriae iuxta omnia quae praeceperat ei Hieremias propheta legens ex volumine sermones Domini in domo Domini
9 This is how it happened. A fast to honor the Lord was declared involving all the people of Jerusalem and everyone who had come there from the towns of Judah. This was in the ninth month of the fifth year of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king 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 Baruch read from the scroll what Jeremiah had dictated so that everyone could hear. He read it from the room of Gemariah son of Shaphan the scribe. This was in the upper Temple courtyard at the New Gate entrance.
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, son of Shaphan, heard all the Lord's messages read from the scroll,
cumque audisset Micheas filius Gamariae filii Saphan omnes sermones Domini ex libro
12 he went down to the royal secretary's room in the king's palace, where all the officials had gathered. Elishama the secretary, Delaiah son of Shemaiah, Elnathan son of Achbor, Gemariah son of Shaphan, Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the other officials were there.
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 Micaiah gave them a report of everything he'd heard Baruch read from the scroll to the people.
et nuntiavit eis Micheas omnia verba quae audivit legente Baruch ex volumine in auribus populi
14 The officials sent Jehudi son of Nethaniah, son of Shelemiah, son of Cushi, to summon Baruch, telling him, “Bring the scroll that you read to the people, and come here.” So Baruch went to see them taking the scroll with him.
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 and read it to us,” they said. So Baruch read it to them.
et dixerunt ad eum sede et lege haec in auribus nostris et legit Baruch in auribus eorum
16 After they'd heard everything, they were frightened and looked at each other. They said to Baruch, “We've got to tell the king about all this.”
igitur cum audissent omnia verba obstipuerunt unusquisque ad proximum suum et dixerunt ad Baruch nuntiare debemus regi omnes sermones istos
17 Then they asked Baruch, “Now tell us, how did you come to write all this? Did Jeremiah dictate it to you?”
et interrogaverunt eum dicentes indica nobis quomodo scripsisti omnes sermones istos ex ore eius
18 “Yes, he dictated it,” Baruch replied. “I wrote down in ink on the scroll everything he told me.”
dixit autem eis Baruch ex ore suo loquebatur quasi legens ad me omnes sermones istos et ego scribebam in volumine atramento
19 The officials told Baruch, “You and Jeremiah are going to have to hide. Don't tell anyone where you are.”
et dixerunt principes ad Baruch vade et abscondere tu et Hieremias et nemo sciat ubi sitis
20 Then the officials went to see the king in the courtyard. They had kept the scroll safe in Elishama the secretary's room while they gave a full report to the king.
et ingressi sunt ad regem in atrium porro volumen commendaverunt in gazofilacio Elisamae scribae et nuntiaverunt audiente rege omnes sermones
21 The king sent Jehudi to fetch the scroll. He went and got it from Elishama the secretary's room. Then Jehudi read it to the king and all the officials who were there standing next to 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 It was the ninth month and the king was sitting in front of a fire in his winter quarters.
rex autem sedebat in domo hiemali in mense nono et posita erat arula coram eo plena prunis
23 Whenever Jehudi finished reading three or four columns, Jehoiakim would chop them off with a scribe's knife and toss them into the fire. Eventually the whole scroll was completely burned up.
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 Despite hearing all these messages, the king and his attendants weren't frightened and didn't tear their clothes in remorse.
et non timuerunt neque sciderunt vestimenta sua rex et omnes servi eius qui audierunt universos sermones istos
25 Even when Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah pleaded with the king not to burn the scroll, he refused to listen to them.
verumtamen Elnathan et Dalaias et Gamarias contradixerunt regi ne conbureret librum et non audivit eos
26 In fact the king ordered Jerahmeel, one of the princes, as well as Seraiah son of Azriel and Shelemiah son of Abdeel, to go and arrest Baruch and Jeremiah. But the Lord hid 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 burned the scroll Jeremiah had dictated to Baruch, a message from 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 Get another scroll and write everything out that was on the first scroll that Jehoiakim king of Judah burned.
rursum tolle volumen aliud et scribe in eo omnes sermones priores qui erant in volumine primo quod conbusit Ioachim rex Iuda
29 Regarding Jehoiakim king of Judah announce that this is what the Lord says: You have burned the scroll and asked, “Why did you write that the king of Babylon is going to come and destroy this country and kill all its people and animals?”
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 So this is what the Lord says about Jehoiakim king of Judah: He won't have anyone to succeed him as king, sitting on David's throne. His body will be thrown out to lie in the heat of the day and the cold of the 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'm going to punish him and his descendants and officials for their sins. I will bring down on them and on the people living in Jerusalem and Judah, all the disasters I warned them about but they refused to 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 Jeremiah got another scroll and gave it to Baruch. Jeremiah dictated everything that was in the scroll that Jehoiakim had burned in the fire and Barcuh wrote it down. Even more messages of a similar kind were added.
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
