'Take to thee a roll of a book, and thou hast written on it all the words that I have spoken unto thee concerning Israel, and concerning Judah, and concerning all the nations, from the day I spake unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day;
3 Ɖewohĩ ne Yudatɔwo ase gbegblẽ siwo katã meɖo be mahe va wo dzii la, wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe atrɔ tso eƒe mɔ vɔ̃ dzi; ekema matsɔ woƒe nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔwɔwo kple nu vɔ̃ ake wo.”
if so be the house of Israel do hear all the evil that I am thinking of doing to them, so that they turn back each from is evil way, and I have been propitious to their iniquity, and to their sin.'

And Jeremiah calleth Baruch son of Neriah, and Baruch writeth from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of Jehovah, that He hath spoken unto him, on a roll of a book.
5 Yeremia gblɔ na Baruk be, “Mele ga me eya ta nyemate ŋu ayi ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me o.
And Jeremiah commandeth Baruch, saying, 'I am restrained, I am not able to enter the house of Jehovah;
6 Eya ta wò, yi ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me le nutsitsidɔ ŋkeke aɖe dzi eye nàxlẽ Yehowa ƒe nya siwo megblɔ na wò nèŋlɔ la na wo. Xlẽe na Yudatɔ siwo katã tso woƒe du vovovowo me va.
but thou hast entered — and thou hast read in the roll that thou hast written from my mouth, the words of Jehovah, in the ears of the people, in the house of Jehovah, in the day of the fast, and also in the ears of all Judah who are coming in from their cities thou dost read them;
7 Ɖewohĩ woabɔbɔ wo ɖokui kple kokoƒoƒo le Yehowa ŋkume eye woatrɔ tso woƒe mɔ vɔ̃wo dzi elabena dziku kple dɔmedzoe helĩhelĩ si Yehowa gblɔ ɖi tso ame siawo ŋuti la lolo ŋutɔ.”
if so be their supplication doth fall before Jehovah, and they turn back each from his evil way, for great [is] the anger and the fury that Jehovah hath spoken concerning this people.'

And it cometh to pass, in the fifth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth month, proclaimed a fast before Jehovah have all the people in Jerusalem, and all the people who are coming in from cities of Judah to Jerusalem;

and Baruch readeth in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of Jehovah, 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 Jehovah, in the ears of all the people.
11 Esi Mikaya, Gemaria ƒe vi, Safan ƒe vi la se Yehowa ƒe nya siwo katã woŋlɔ ɖe lãgbalẽ la dzi la,
And Michaiah son of Gemariah, son of Shaphan, heareth all the words of Jehovah from off the book,

13 Esi Mikaya gblɔ nu siwo katã Baruk xlẽ na ameawo tso lãgbalẽ la me la,
And declare to them doth Micaiah all the words that he hath heard, when Baruch readeth in the book in the ears of the people;

and all the heads send unto Baruch, Jehudi son of Nethaniah, son of Shelemiah, son of Cushi, saying, 'The roll in which thou hast read in the ears of the people take in thy hand, and come.' And Baruch son of Neriah taketh the roll in his hand and cometh in unto them,
15 Wogblɔ nɛ be, “Míeɖe kuku nɔ anyi, ne nàxlẽe na mí.” Tete Baruk xlẽe na wo.
and they say unto him, 'Sit down, we pray thee, and read it in our ears,' and Baruch readeth in their ears,

and it cometh to pass, when they hear all the words, they have been afraid one at another, and say unto Baruch, 'We do surely declare to the king all these words.'
17 Tete wobia Baruk be, “Gblɔe na mi, aleke nèwɔ ŋlɔ nu siawo? Yeremiae gblɔ wo na wòa?”
And they asked Baruch, saying, 'Declare, we pray thee, to us, how didst thou write all these words — from his mouth?'
18 Baruk ɖo eŋu be, “Ɛ̃, eyae gblɔ nya siawo katã nam eye metsɔ nuŋlɔtsi ŋlɔe ɖe lãgbalẽ la dzi.”
And Baruch saith to them, 'From his mouth, he pronounceth unto me all these words, and I am writing on the book with ink.'
19 Dumegãwo gblɔ na Baruk be, “Wò kple Yeremia, miyi miaɣla mia ɖokui. Migana ame aɖeke nanya afi si miele o.”
And the heads say unto Baruch, 'Go, be hidden, thou and Jeremiah, and let no one know where ye [are].'
20 Esi wotsɔ lãgbalẽ la da ɖe agbalẽŋlɔla Elisama ƒe xɔ me vɔ la, woyi ɖe fia la gbɔ le xɔxɔnu eye wogblɔ nya ɖe sia ɖe nɛ.
And they go in unto the king, to the court, and the roll they have laid up in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and they declare in the ears of the king all the words.
21 Fia la dɔ Yehudi be wòaɖatsɔ lãgbalẽ la vɛ. Yehudi yi ɖatsɔe le agbalẽŋlɔla Elisama ƒe xɔ me eye wòxlẽe na fia la kple eƒe dumegã siwo katã le tsitre ɖe exa.
And the king sendeth Jehudi to take the roll, and he taketh it out of the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and Jehudi readeth it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the heads who are standing by the king;
22 Enye ɣleti asiekɛlia eye fia la nɔ anyi ɖe eƒe vuvɔŋɔlixɔ me eye wodo dzo ɖe ze me da ɖe eƒe akɔme.

And also Elnathan, and Delaiah, and Gemariah have interceded with the king not to burn the roll, and he hath not hearkened unto them.

And the king commandeth Jerahmeel son of Hammelek, and Seraiah son of Azriel, and Shelemiah son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Jehovah doth hide them.
27 Esi fia la tɔ dzo lãgbalẽ si dzi Baruk ŋlɔ nya siwo katã Yeremia gblɔ nɛ ɖo la, Yehowa ƒe nya va na Yeremia be:
And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah — after the king's burning the roll, even the words that Baruch hath written from the mouth of Jeremiah — saying:
28 “Tsɔ lãgbalẽ bubu, eye nàŋlɔ nya siwo katã nɔ gbãtɔ dzi la ɖe edzi, nya siwo ke Yuda fia Yehoyakim tɔ dzoe.
'Turn, take to thee another roll, and write on it all the former words that were on the first roll, that Jehoiakim king of Judah burnt,
29 Gawu la, gblɔ na Yuda fia Yehoyakim be, ‘Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Ètɔ dzo lãgbalẽ ma, hegblɔ be, “Nu ka ta nèŋlɔ ɖe edzi be Babilonia fia ava kokoko agblẽ anyigba sia eye wòatsrɔ̃ amegbetɔwo kple lãwo siaa ɖa le edzi?”
and unto Jehoiakim king of Judah thou dost say: Thus said Jehovah, Thou hast burnt this roll, saying, Wherefore hast thou written on it, saying, The king of Babylon surely cometh in, and hath destroyed this land, and caused to cease from it man and beast?
30 Eya ta ale Yehowa gblɔ ɖe Yuda fia Yehoyakim ŋutie nye si: Ame aɖeke masusɔ nɛ, si anɔ David ƒe fiazikpui dzi o, woatsɔ eƒe ŋutilã kukua aƒu gbe ɖe gota, eye ŋdɔkutsu aɖui le ŋkeke me eye ahũ aƒoe le zã me.
'Therefore, thus said Jehovah, concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: He hath none sitting on the throne of David, and his carcase is cast out to heat by day, and to cold by night;
31 Mahe to na eya kple viawo kple eƒe dɔlawo katã le woƒe vɔ̃ɖivɔ̃ɖi ta. Mahe gbegblẽ ɖe sia ɖe si megblɔ ɖi la va wo, ame siwo le Yerusalem kple Yudatɔwo dzii, elabena womeɖo to o.’”
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 unto the men of Judah, all the evil that I have spoken unto them, and they hearkened not.'
32 Ale Yeremia tsɔ lãgbalẽ bubu na Neria ƒe vi, Baruk, agbalẽŋlɔla la, eye esi Yeremia le nyawo gblɔm la, Baruk ŋlɔ nya siwo katã Yuda fia, Yehoyakim tɔ dzoe le gbãtɔ dzi la ɖe edzi. Wotsɔ nya siwo le abe gbãtɔ ene la kpe ɖe nyawo ŋuti.
And Jeremiah hath taken another roll, and giveth it unto Baruch son of Neriah the scribe, and he writeth on it from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book that Jehoiakim king of Judah hath burnt in the fire; and again there were added unto them many words like these.
