Jeremiah 36
1 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,
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 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;
：「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 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.”
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 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.
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 commands Baruch, saying, “I am restrained, I am not able to enter the house of YHWH;
耶肋米亞吩咐巴路克說：「我被阻止，不能到上主的殿宇去，
6 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;
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 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.”
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 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.
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 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;
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 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.
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 Michaiah son of Gemariah, son of Shaphan, hears all the words of YHWH from off the scroll,
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 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.
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 Micaiah declares to them all the words that he has heard when Baruch reads in the scroll 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 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,
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 say to him, “Please sit down and read it in our ears,” and Baruch reads [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 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.”
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, “Please declare to us, how did you 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 says to them, “He pronounces from his mouth all these words to me, and I am writing on the scroll with ink.”
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 heads say to Baruch, “Go, be hidden, you and Jeremiah, and let no one know where you [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 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.
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 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;
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 and the king is sitting in the winter-house, in the ninth month, and the stove is 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 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.
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 the king and all his servants who are hearing all these words have not been afraid, nor torn their garments.
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 And also Elnathan, and Delaiah, and Gemariah have interceded with the king not to burn the scroll, and he has not listened to 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 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.
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 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:
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 “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,
「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 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?
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 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;
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 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.”
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 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.
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。
