Jeremiah 36
1 And it came to pass, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, that this word came unto Jeremiah from Yahweh, 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 scroll, and write therein all the words which I have spoken unto thee concerning Israel and concerning Judah and concerning all the nations, —from the day I began to speak unto thee from the days of Josiah, even until 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 Peradventure, the house of Judah will hearken unto all the calamity, which I am devising to execute against them, —to the end they may return every man from his wicked way, whereupon I will 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 So Jeremiah called Baruch, son of Neriah, —and Baruch wrote, from the mouth of Jeremiah, all the words of Yahweh which he had spoken unto him upon 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 Then did Jeremiah command Baruch, saying, —I, am hindered, I cannot enter the house of Yahweh;
耶肋米亞吩咐巴路克說：「我被阻止，不能到上主的殿宇去，
6 Thou, therefore shalt enter and read in the roll which thou hast written from my mouth the words of Yahweh in the ears of the people in the house of Yahweh on the day of a fast, —moreover also, in the ears of all Judah who are coming in out of their cities, shalt thou read them:
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 Peradventure, their supplication, will fall prostrate, before Yahweh, and they return every man from his wicked way, —For, great, are the anger and the indignation which Yahweh hath spoken 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 So then Baruch son of Neriah did according to all which Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words of Yahweh in the house of Yahweh.
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 son of Josiah king of Judah in the ninth month, that all the people of Jerusalem, and all the people who were coming in out of the cities of Judah into Jerusalem, had proclaimed a fast before Yahweh;
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 Baruch, therefore, read in the book the words of Jeremiah, in the house of Yahweh, —in the chamber of Gemariah son of Shaphan—the scribe, in the upper court, at the opening of the new gate of the house of Yahweh, 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 When Micaiah, son of Gemariah son of Shaphan, heard all the words of Yahweh out of the book,
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 then went he down unto the house of the king up to the chamber of the scribe, and lo! there, all the princes sitting, —Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan son of Achbor, and Gemariah son of Shaphan and Zedekiah 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 So Micaiah told them all the words which he 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 All the princes, therefore sent unto Baruch, Jehudi, son of Nethaniah son of Shelemiah son of Cushi saying, The roll wherein thou didst read in the ears of the people, take it in thy hand, and come, So Baruch son of Neriah took the roll in his hand, and came in 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 Then said they unto him, Sit down we pray thee and read it in our ears, So 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, that they turned with fear one to another, —and said unto Baruch, We must, surely tell, 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 Then unto Baruch, put they questions saying, —Tell us, we pray thee, How, didst thou write all these words at 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 So Baruch said unto them, With his own mouth, used he to proclaim unto me all these words, —and I kept on writing in the book, 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 Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go hide thee, thou and Jeremiah, and let no man, 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 Then went they in unto the king, into the court, but the roll, had they put in charge, in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, —so they declared in the ears of the king all the words.
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 The king, therefore 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 who were standing near 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, —with the fire-stove before him burning.
那時正是九月，君王住在冬宮裏，面前正燒著一盆火，
23 So then it came to pass when Jehudi had read three or four columns that he cut it up into fragments with a scribe’s knife, and cast them into the fire that was in the stove, —until, all the roll, was consumed on the fire that was 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 Yet were they not in dread, neither rent they their garments, —the king, nor any of his servants that were hearing 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 Nevertheless Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah, interceded with the king, not to burn the roll, —but he hearkened not unto 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 Then did the king command Jerahmeel son of the king, and Seraiah son of Azriel, and Shelemiah son of Abdeel, to fetch Baruch the scribe, and Jeremiah the prophet, —but Yahweh had 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 Then came the word of Yahweh unto Jeremiah, after the king had burned the roll, and the words which Baruch had 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 Again take thee another roll, and write thereon, all the former words which were on the first roll, which Jehoiakim 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 But unto Jehoiakim king of Judah, shalt thou say, Thus, saith Yahweh, —Thou, hast burned this roll saying, Why hast thou written thereon—saying, The king of Babylon shall, certainly, come and lay waste this land, and cause to cease therefrom 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 Yahweh, Concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah, —He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David, —And, his dead body, shall be cast out—to the heat by day, and to the frost 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 will visit upon him and upon his seed and upon his servants the punishment of their iniquity, —and will bring upon them and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem and against, the men of Judah, all the calamity, which I have spoken against them but 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 So, Jeremiah, took another roll and gave it unto Baruch son of Neriah the scribe, who wrote thereon, from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book, which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned, in the fire, —and further were added thereunto many words like unto them
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。
