Jeremaya 36
1 Nʼafọ anọ nke ọchịchị Jehoiakim nwa Josaya bụ eze Juda, okwu Onyenwe anyị ndị a ruru Jeremaya ntị,
In the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
2 “Were akwụkwọ detuo okwu ahụ niile m gwarala gị banyere Izrel, na Juda, na banyere ndị mba ọzọ dị iche iche, bụ okwu ndị ahụ m bidoro ịgwa gị site nʼoge ọchịchị Josaya ruo ugbu a.
“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.
3 Ma eleghị anya mgbe ndị Juda nụrụ ka e kwupụtara ihe banyere ihe ọjọọ ndị ahụ m zubere, nke na-aga ịbịakwasị ha, onye ọbụla nʼime ha nʼotu nʼotu ga-esite nʼụzọ ọjọọ ya tụgharịa. Mgbe ahụ, aga m agbaghara ha ajọ omume ha na mmehie ha.”
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.”
4 Ya mere, Jeremaya kpọrọ Baruk nwa Neraya ka ọ bịakwute ya. Mgbe Jeremaya nọ na-akpọpụta okwu ahụ niile Onyenwe anyị gwara ya, Baruk nọkwa na-edepụta ha nʼakwụkwọ.
Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah; and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all Yahweh’s words, which he had spoken to him, on a scroll of a book.
5 Emesịa, Jeremaya gwara Baruk okwu sị ya, “Ọnọdụ nke m nọ nʼime ya ugbu a agaghị ekwe ka m site nʼebe a pụọ jeruo nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị.
Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, “I am restricted. I can’t go into Yahweh’s house.
6 Nʼihi ya, gaa nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị nʼụbọchị ibu ọnụ, nọdụ nʼebe ahụ gụpụtara ndị mmadụ okwu Onyenwe anyị ndị a ị dere nʼakwụkwọ dịka m kpọpụtara ha. Gụpụtara ya ndị Juda si obodo niile bịa nʼụlọnsọ ahụ.
Therefore you go, and read from the scroll which you have written from my mouth, Yahweh’s words, in the ears of the people in Yahweh’s house on the fast day. Also you shall read them in the ears of all Judah who come out of their cities.
7 Ma eleghị anya, ha ga-arịọ Onyenwe anyị arịrịọ. Ma eleghị anya onye ọbụla nʼime ha ga-esite nʼụzọ ọjọọ ya tụgharịa, ka iwe na ọnụma dị ukwuu nke Onyenwe anyị ga-ekpughe megide ndị a ghara ịbịakwasị ha.”
It may be they will present their supplication before Yahweh, and will each return from his evil way; for Yahweh has pronounced great anger and wrath against this people.”
8 Baruk nwa Neraya mere dịka Jeremaya onye amụma si gwa ya. Ọ gụpụtara okwu Onyenwe anyị, nke dị nʼakwụkwọ ahụ, nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị.
Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book Yahweh’s words in Yahweh’s house.
9 Nʼọnwa itoolu nke afọ ise nke ọchịchị Jehoiakim nwa Josaya eze Juda, e doro oge dị iche nye maka ibu ọnụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. E kwusara ibu ọnụ a nye ndị niile nọ na Jerusalem, na ndị si nʼobodo Juda niile bịa na Jerusalem.
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 Yahweh.
10 Baruk nọ nʼọnụụlọ Gemaraya nwa Shefan, bụ ode akwụkwọ, gụpụtara ndị niile nọ nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị okwu Jeremaya, nke dị nʼakwụkwọ a dị nsọ nʼọnụ ụzọ ama ọhụrụ nke ụlọnsọ ahụ.
Then Baruch read the words of Jeremiah from the book in Yahweh’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 Yahweh’s house, in the ears of all the people.
11 Mgbe Mikaya nwa Gemaraya nwa Shefan nụrụ okwu Onyenwe anyị nke e si nʼakwụkwọ ahụ gụpụta,
When Micaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all Yahweh’s words,
12 o si nʼebe ahụ pụọ, gaa nʼụlọ ode akwụkwọ dị nʼụlọeze, ebe ndịisi niile zukọrọ. Ndị a bụ ndị zukọrọ nʼebe ahụ; Elishama, ode akwụkwọ, na Delaya nwa Shemaya, na Elnatan nwa Akboa, na Gemaraya nwa Shefan, na Zedekaya nwa Hananaya, na ndịisi ọchịchị ndị ọzọ.
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.
13 Mgbe Mikaya gwara ha ihe ọ nụrụ Baruk si nʼakwụkwọ ahụ gụpụtara ndị mmadụ,
Then Micaiah declared to them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people.
14 ndịisi ahụ niile zipụrụ Jehudi nwa Netanaya, nwa Shelemaya, nwa Kushi, ka o jekwuru Baruk sị ya “Were akwụkwọ ahụ ị si na ya gụpụtara ndị mmadụ ihe, bịa.” Ya mere, Baruk, nwa Neraya, ji akwụkwọ a nʼaka ya jekwuru ha.
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.
15 Mgbe o ruru nʼebe ahụ, ha gwara ya sị ya, “Biko, nọdụ ala gụọra anyị ihe dị nʼakwụkwọ a.” Ya mere, Baruk gụpụtara ha ihe dị nʼakwụkwọ ahụ.
They said to him, “Sit down now, and read it in our hearing.” So Baruch read it in their hearing.
16 Mgbe ha nụchasịrị okwu dị nʼakwụkwọ ahụ, ha lerịtara onwe ha anya nʼegwu, gwa Baruk okwu sị ya, “Anyị aghaghị ime ka okwu ndị a ruo eze ntị.”
Now when they had heard all the words, they turned in fear one toward another, and said to Baruch, “We will surely tell the king of all these words.”
17 Ha jụrụ Baruk sị ya, “Gwa anyị i si aṅaa detuo ihe ndị a niile? Ọ bụ Jeremaya kpọpụtaara gị ihe i dere?”
They asked Baruch, saying, “Tell us now, how did you write all these words at his mouth?”
18 Baruk zara sị ha, “E, ọ bụ ya kpọpụtara m okwu ndị a niile m deturu. E ji m inki dee ha nʼakwụkwọ.”
Then Baruch answered them, “He dictated all these words to me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.”
19 Mgbe ahụ, ndịisi ahụ gwara Baruk okwu sị ya, “Ọsọ, gaa ka gị na Jeremaya zoo onwe unu. Unu ekwekwala ka onye ọbụla mata ebe unu zoro onwe unu.”
Then the princes said to Baruch, “You and Jeremiah go hide. Don’t let anyone know where you are.”
20 Mgbe ha zochasịrị akwụkwọ ahụ nʼọnụụlọ Elishama onye ode akwụkwọ, ha jekwuuru eze nʼogige ụlọ ya kọọrọ ya ihe niile.
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.
21 Eze ziri Jehudi ka ọ gaa weta akwụkwọ ahụ. Mgbe Jehudi wetara ya site nʼọnụụlọ Elishama, ode akwụkwọ, ọ gụrụ ya nʼihu eze, na nʼihu ndịisi ọchịchị ahụ niile guzo nʼakụkụ eze.
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.
22 Nʼọnwa nke itoolu ahụ, mgbe eze nọ nʼụlọ oyi ya, ọkụ na-enwukwa nʼime ite ọkụ dị nʼihu ya.
Now the king was sitting in the winter house in the ninth month, and there was a fire in the brazier burning before him.
23 Mgbe ọbụla Jehudi gụsịrị ibe akwụkwọ atọ maọbụ anọ, eze na-anara ya akwụkwọ ndị ahụ were agụba ode akwụkwọ chakasịa ha, wụnye ha nʼọkụ. O megidere otu a tutu ruo mgbe ọ wụnyechara akwụkwọ ndị ahụ niile nʼọkụ.
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.
24 Eze na ndị so ya nọdụ nʼoge a na-agụpụta akwụkwọ a atụghị egwu ọbụla; ha adọwakwaghị uwe ha igosi obi ọjọọ.
The king and his servants who heard all these words were not afraid, and didn’t tear their garments.
25 Ọ bụ ezie na Elnatan na Delaya na Gemaraya rịọrọ eze sị ya adọkasịla akwụkwọ ndị ahụ, ma o geghị ha ntị.
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.
26 Kama eze nyere Jerameel otu nʼime ụmụ eze, na Seraya nwa Azriel, na Shelemaya nwa Abdeel iwu ijide Baruk ode akwụkwọ, na Jeremaya onye amụma, ma Onyenwe anyị zoro ha.
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 Yahweh hid them.
27 Mgbe eze suresịrị akwụkwọ ahụ na okwu niile nke Baruk dere nʼime ya ọkụ, bụ okwu nke Jeremaya kpọpụtara site nʼọnụ ya, okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru Jeremaya ntị sị ya:
Then Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah, after the king had burned the scroll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,
28 “Werekwa akwụkwọ ọzọ dee okwu ndị ahụ niile e dere nʼakwụkwọ nke mbụ ahụ, nke Jehoiakim eze Juda kpọrọ ọkụ.
“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 burned.
29 Ọzọkwa, gwa Jehoiakim eze Juda sị ya, ‘otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, Ị kpọrọ akwụkwọ ndị ahụ ọkụ, kwuo sị, “Gịnị mere i ji dee nʼime ya na eze Babilọn aghaghị ịbịa bibie ala a, gbuchapụ ndị niile nọ nʼime ya, ma mmadụ ma anụmanụ?”
Concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah you shall say, ‘Yahweh says: “You have burned 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”?’”
30 Nʼihi ya, ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru banyere Jehoiakim eze Juda; Ọ gaghị amụta onye ga-anọ nʼocheeze Devid. Ọzọ, a ga-atụfu ozu ya nʼebe igirigi nke abalị ga-adakwasị ya, ebe okpomọkụ nke ehihie ga-erute ya.
Therefore Yahweh 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.
31 Aga m ata ya na ụmụ ya, na ndị ozi ya ahụhụ nʼihi ajọ omume ha. Aga m eme ka ihe ọjọọ ahụ m kwuru ihe banyere ya bịakwasị ha na ndị niile bi na Jerusalem, na ndị Juda niile, nʼihi na ha jụrụ ige m ntị.’”
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.”’”
32 Ya mere, Jeremaya weere akwụkwọ ọzọ nye Baruk ode akwụkwọ, bụ nwa Neraya, dịka Jeremaya na-akpọpụta okwu, Baruk depụtakwara nʼakwụkwọ okwu ndị ahụ niile, nke Jehoiakim eze Juda surere nʼọkụ. A tụkwasịkwara nʼelu ha ọtụtụ okwu ndị ọzọ nke dịka ha.
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 burned in the fire; and many similar words were added to them.
