1 ユダの王ヨシヤの子ヱホヤキムの四年にこの言ヱホバよりヱレミヤに臨みていふ
And it came to pass in the fourth year of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda, that this word came to Jeremias by the Lord, saying:
2 汝卷物をとり我汝に語りし日即ちヨシヤの日より今日に至るまでイスラエルとユダと萬國とにつきてわが汝に語りしすべての言を之に錄せ
Take thee a roll of a book, and thou shalt write in it all the words that I have spoken to thee against Israel and Juda, and against all the nations from the day that I spoke to thee, from the days of Josias even to this day.
3 ユダの家わが降さんと擬るところの災をききて各自その惡き途をはなれて轉ることもあらん然ばわれ其愆とその罪を赦すべし
If so be, when the house of Juda shall hear all the evils that I purpose to do unto them, that they may return every man from his wicked way: and I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin.
4 是に於てヱレミヤ、ネリヤの子バルクを召べりバルクすなはちヱレミヤの口にしたがひヱホバの彼に告たまひし言をことごとく卷物に錄せり
So Jeremias called Baruch the son of Nerias: and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremias all the words of the Lord, which he spoke to him, upon the roll of a book.
5 ヱレミヤ、バルクに云ひけるはわれは禁錮られたればヱホバの室に往くことを得ず
And Jeremias commanded Baruch, saying: I am shut up, and cannot go into the house of the Lord.
6 故に汝ゆきて汝が我の口にしたがひて卷物に錄したるヱホバの言をよみ斷食の日にヱホバの室に於て民の耳にこれを聽しめよまた之を讀みてユダの人々のその邑々より來れる者の耳に聽しむべし
Go thou in therefore, and read out of the volume, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of the Lord, in the hearing of all the people in the house of the Lord on the fasting day: and also thou shalt read them in the hearing of all Juda that come out of their cities:
7 彼らヱホバの前にその祈禱を献り各自其惡き途をはなれて轉ることもあらんヱホバの此民につきてのべたまひし怒と憤は大なり
If so be they may present their supplication before the Lord, and may return every one from his wicked way: for great is the wrath and indignation which the Lord hath pronounced against this people.
8 斯てネリヤの子バルクは凡て預言者ヱレミヤが己に命ぜしごとくヱホバの室にてその卷物よりヱホバの言を讀り
And Baruch the son of Nerias did according to all that Jeremias the prophet had commanded him, reading out of the volume the words of the Lord in the house of the Lord.

13 ミカヤ、バルクが書を讀て民の耳に聽せしときに己が聽しところのすべての言を彼らに告ければ
And Micheas told them all the words that he had heard when Baruch read out of the volume in the hearing of the people.
14 牧伯等クシの子シレミヤの子なるネタニヤの子エホデをバルクに遣はしていはせけるは汝が民に讀きかせしその卷物を手に取て來れとネリヤの子バルクすなはち手に卷物を取りて彼らの許にきたりたれば
Therefore all the princes sent Judi the son of Nathanias, the son of Selemias, the son of Chusi, to Baruch, saying: Take in thy hand the volume in which thou hast read in the hearing of the people, and come. So Baruch the son of Nerias took the volume in his hand, and came to them.
15 彼らバルクにいひけるは請ふ坐して之を我らに讀きかせよとバルクすなはち彼らに讀聞せたり
And they said to him: Sit down and read these things in our hearing. And Baruch read in their hearing.
16 彼らその諸の言をききて倶に懼れバルクにいひけるは我ら必ずこの諸の言を王に告んと
And when they had heard all the words, they looked upon one another with astonishment, and they said to Baruch: We must tell the king all these words.
17 またバルクに問ていひけるは請ふ汝いかにこの諸の言をかれの口にしたがひて錄せしや我らに告よ
And they asked him, saying: Tell us how didst thou write all these words from his mouth.
18 バルク答へけるは彼その口をもてこの諸の言を我に述べたればわれ墨をもて之を書に錄せり
And Baruch said to them: With his mouth he pronounced all these words as if he were reading to me: and I wrote in a volume with ink.
19 牧伯等バルクにいひけるは汝ゆきてヱレミヤとともに身を匿し在所を人に知しむべからずと
And the princes said to Baruch: Go, and hide thee, both thou and Jeremias, and let no man know where you are.

And they went in to the king into the court: but they laid up the volume in the chamber of Elisama the scribe: and they told all the words in the hearing of the king.
21 王その卷物を持來らせんとてヱホデを遣せりヱホデすなはち書記エリシヤマの房より卷物を取來りて之を王と王の側に立るすべての牧伯等に讀みきかせたり
And the king sent Judi that he should take the volume: who bringing it out of the chamber of Elisama the scribe, read it in the hearing of the king, and of all the princes that stood about the king.

24 王とその臣僕等はこの諸の言をきけども懼れず亦その衣を裂ざりき
And the king and all his servants that heard all these words were not afraid, nor did they rend their garments.

And the king commanded Jeremiel the son of Amelech, and Saraias the son of Ezriel, and Selemias the son of Abdeel, to take up Baruch the scribe, and Jeremias the prophet: but the Lord hid them.
27 王卷物およびバルクがヱレミヤの口にしたがひて記せし言を焚しのちヱホバの言ヱレミヤに臨みていふ
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias the prophet, after that the king had burnt the volume, and the words that Baruch had written from the mouth of Jeremias, saying:
28 汝また他の卷物をとりユダの王ヱホヤキムが焚しところの前の卷物の中の言をことごとく其に錄せ
Take thee again another volume: and write in it all the former words that were in the first volume which Joakim the king of Juda hath burnt.
29 汝またユダの王ヱホヤキムに告よヱホバかくいふ汝かの卷物を焚ていへり汝何なれば此卷物に錄してバビロンの王必ず來りてこの地を滅し此に人と畜を絕さんと云しやと
And thou shalt say to Joakim the king of Juda: Thus saith the Lord: Thou hast burnt that volume, saying: Why hast thou written therein, and said: The king of Babylon shall come speedily, and shall lay waste this land: and shall cause to cease from thence man and beast?
30 この故にヱホバ、ユダの王ヱホヤキムにつきてかくいひ給ふ彼にはダビデの位に坐する者無にいたらん且かれの屍は棄られて晝は熱氣にあひ夜は寒氣にあはん
Therefore thus saith the Lord against Joakim the king of Juda: 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.

And I will punish him, and his seed and his servants, for their iniquities, and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Juda all the evil that I have pronounced against them, but they have not heard.
32 是に於てヱレミヤ他の卷物を取てネリヤの子書記バルクにあたふバルクすなはちユダの王ヱホヤキムが火に焚たるところの書の諸の言をヱレミヤの口にしたがひて之に錄し外にまた斯る言を多く之に加へたり
