< Jeremiah 36 >

1 In the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
Et factum est in anno quarto Ioakim filii Iosiæ regis Iuda: factum est verbum hoc ad Ieremiam a Domino, dicens:
2 “Take a scroll of a book, and write in it all the words that I have spoken to you against Israel, against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spoke to you, from the days of Josiah even to this day.
Tolle volumen libri, et scribes in eo omnia verba, quæ locutus sum tibi adversum Israel et Iudam, et adversum omnes gentes: a die, qua locutus sum ad te ex diebus Iosiæ usque ad diem hanc:
3 It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I intend to do to them, that they may each return from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.”
Si forte audiente domo Iuda universa mala, quæ ego cogito facere eis, revertatur unusquisque a via sua pessima: et propitius ero iniquitati, et peccato eorum.
4 Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah; and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the LORD’s words, which he had spoken to him, on a scroll of a book.
Vocavit ergo Ieremias Baruch filium Neriæ: et scripsit Baruch ex ore Ieremiæ omnes sermones Domini, quos locutus est ad eum in volumine libri:
5 Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, “I am restricted. I can’t go into the LORD’s house.
et præcepit Ieremias Baruch, dicens: Ego clausus sum, nec valeo ingredi domum Domini.
6 Therefore you go, and read from the scroll which you have written from my mouth, the LORD’s words, in the ears of the people in the LORD’s house on the fast day. Also you shall read them in the ears of all Judah who come out of 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 It may be they will present their supplication before the LORD, and will each return from his evil way; for the LORD has pronounced great anger and wrath against this people.”
Si forte cadat oratio eorum in conspectu Domini, et revertatur unusquisque a via sua pessima: quoniam magnus furor et indignatio est, quam locutus est Dominus adversus populum hunc.
8 Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the LORD’s words in the LORD’s house.
Et fecit Baruch filius Neriæ iuxta omnia, quæ præceperat ei Ieremias propheta, legens ex volumine sermones Domini in domo Domini.
9 Now in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, all the people in Jerusalem and all the people who came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem, proclaimed a fast before the LORD.
Factum est autem in anno quinto Ioakim filii Iosiæ regis Iuda, in mense nono: prædicaverunt ieiunium in conspectu Domini omni populo in Ierusalem, et universæ multitudini, quæ confluxerat de civitatibus Iuda in Ierusalem.
10 Then Baruch read the words of Jeremiah from the book in the LORD’s house, in the room of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the upper court, at the entry of the new gate of the LORD’s house, in the ears of all the people.
Legitque Baruch ex volumine sermones Ieremiæ in domo Domini in gazophylacio Gamariæ filii Saphan scribæ, in vestibulo superiori, in introitu portæ novæ domus Domni audiente omni populo.
11 When Micaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all the LORD’s words,
Cumque audisset Michæas filius Gamariæ filii Saphan omnes sermones Domini ex libro:
12 he went down into the king’s house, into the scribe’s room; and behold, all the princes were sitting there, Elishama the scribe, Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, Elnathan the son of Achbor, Gemariah the son of Shaphan, Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes.
descendit in domum regis ad gazophylacium scribæ: et ecce ibi omnes principes sedebant: Elisama scriba, et Dalaias filius Semeiæ, et Elnathan filius Achobor, et Gamarias filius Saphan, et Sedecias filius Hananiæ, et universi principes.
13 Then Micaiah declared to them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people.
Et nunciavit eis Michæas omnia verba, quæ audivit legente Baruch ex volumine in auribus populi.
14 Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, “Take in your hand the scroll in which you have read in the ears of the people, and come.” So Baruch the son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand, and came to them.
Miserunt itaque omnes principes ad Baruch, Iudi filium Nathaniæ filii Selemiæ, filii Chusi, dicentes: Volumen, ex quo legisti audiente populo, sume in manu tua, et veni. Tulit ergo Baruch filius Neriæ volumen in manu sua, et venit ad eos.
15 They said to him, “Sit down now, and read it in our hearing.” So Baruch read it in their hearing.
Et dixerunt ad eum: Sede, et lege hæc in auribus nostris. Et legit Baruch in auribus eorum.
16 Now when they had heard all the words, they turned in fear one towards another, and said to Baruch, “We will surely tell the king of all these words.”
Igitur cum audissent omnia verba, obstupuerunt unusquisque ad proximum suum, et dixerunt ad Baruch: Nunciare debemus regi omnes sermones istos.
17 They asked Baruch, saying, “Tell us now, how did you write all these words at his mouth?”
Et interrogaverunt eum, dicentes: Indica nobis quomodo scripsisti omnes sermones istos ex ore eius.
18 Then Baruch answered them, “He dictated all these words to me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.”
Dixit autem eis Baruch: Ex ore suo loquebatur quasi legens ad me omnes sermones istos. et ego scribebam in volumine atramento.
19 Then the princes said to Baruch, “You and Jeremiah go hide. Don’t let anyone know where you are.”
Et dixerunt principes ad Baruch: Vade, et abscondere tu et Ieremias, et nemo sciat ubi sitis.
20 They went in to the king into the court, but they had laid up the scroll in the room of Elishama the scribe. Then they told all the words in the hearing of the king.
Et ingressi sunt ad regem in atrium: porro volumen commendaverunt in gazophylacio Elisamæ scribæ: et nunciaverunt audiente rege omnes sermones.
21 So the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and he took it out of the room of Elishama the scribe. Jehudi read it in the hearing of the king, and in the hearing of all the princes who stood beside the king.
Misitque rex Iudi ut sumeret volumen: qui tollens illud de gazophylacio Elisamæ scribæ, legit audiente rege, et universis principibus, qui stabant circa regem.
22 Now the king was sitting in the winter house in the ninth month, and there was a fire in the brazier burning before him.
Rex autem sedebat in domo hiemali in mense nono: et posita erat arula coram eo plena prunis.
23 When Jehudi had read three or four columns, the king cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was in the brazier, until all the scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier.
Cumque legisset Iudi tres pagellas vel quattuor, scidit illud scalpello scribæ, et proiecit in ignem, qui erat super arulam donec consumeretur omne volumen igni, qui erat in arula.
24 The king and his servants who heard all these words were not afraid, and didn’t tear their garments.
Et non timuerunt, neque sciderunt vestimenta sua rex, et omnes servi eius, qui audierunt universos sermones istos.
25 Moreover Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the scroll; but he would not listen to them.
Verumtamen Elnathan, et Dalaias, et Gamarias contradixerunt regi ne combureret librum: et non audivit eos.
26 The king commanded Jerahmeel the king’s son, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to arrest Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; but the LORD hid them.
Et præcepit rex Ieremiel filio Amelech, et Saraiæ filio Ezriel, et Selemiæ filio Abdeel ut comprehenderent Baruch scribam, et Ieremiam prophetam: abscondit autem eos Dominus.
27 Then the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah, after the king had burnt the scroll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam prophetam, postquam combusserat rex volumen et sermones, quos scripserat Baruch ex ore Ieremiæ, dicens:
28 “Take again another scroll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first scroll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah has burnt.
Rursum tolle volumen aliud: et scribe in eo omnes sermones priores, qui erant in primo volumine, quod combussit Ioakim rex Iuda.
29 Concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah you shall say, ‘The LORD says: “You have burnt this scroll, saying, ‘Why have you written therein, saying, “The king of Babylon will certainly come and destroy this land, and will cause to cease from there man and animal”?’”
Et ad Ioakim regem Iuda, dices: Hæc dicit Dominus: Tu combussisti volumen illud, dicens: Quare scripsisti in eo annuncians: Festinus veniet rex Babylonis, et vastabit terram hanc, et cessare faciet ex illa hominem, et iumentum?
30 Therefore the LORD says concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: “He will have no one to sit on David’s throne. His dead body will be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.
Propterea hæc dicit Dominus contra Ioakim regem Iuda: Non erit ex eo qui sedeat super solium David: et cadaver eius proiicietur ad æstum per diem, et ad gelu per noctem.
31 I will punish him, his offspring, and his servants for their iniquity. I will bring on them, on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and on the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them, but they didn’t listen.”’”
Et visitabo contra eum, et contra semen eius, et contra servos eius iniquitates suas, et adducam super eos et super habitatores Ierusalem, et super viros Iuda omne malum, quod locutus sum ad eos, et non audierunt.
32 Then Jeremiah took another scroll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah, who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burnt in the fire; and many similar words were added to them.
Ieremias autem tulit volumen aliud, et dedit illud Baruch filio Neriæ scribæ: qui scripsit in eo ex ore Ieremiæ omnes sermones libri, quem combusserat Ioakim rex Iuda igni: et insuper additi sunt sermones multo plures, quam antea fuerant.
