Jeremiæ 36
1 Et factum est in anno quarto Ioakim filii Iosiae regis Iuda: factum est verbum hoc ad Ieremiam a Domino, dicens:
And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, that this word came unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
2 Tolle volumen libri, et scribes in eo omnia verba, quae locutus sum tibi adversum Israel et Iuda, et adversum omnes gentes: a die, qua locutus sum ad te ex diebus Iosiae usque ad diem hanc:
Take thee a roll of a book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spake unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day.
3 Si forte audiente domo Iuda universa mala, quae ego cogito facere eis, revertatur unusquisque a via sua pessima: et propitius ero iniquitati, et peccato eorum.
It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto them; that they may return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.
4 Vocavit ergo Ieremias Baruch filium Neriae: et scripsit Baruch ex ore Ieremiae omnes sermones Domini, quos locutus est ad eum in volumine libri:
Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah; and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of Jehovah, which he had spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book.
5 et praecepit Ieremias Baruch, dicens: Ego clausus sum, nec valeo ingredi domum Domini.
And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I cannot go into the house of Jehovah:
6 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:
therefore go thou, and read in the roll, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of Jehovah in the ears of the people in Jehovah’s house upon the fast-day; and also thou shalt read them in the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities.
7 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.
It may be they will present their supplication before Jehovah, and will return every one from his evil way; for great is the anger and the wrath that Jehovah hath pronounced against this people.
8 Et fecit Baruch filius Neriae iuxta omnia, quae praeceperat ei Ieremias propheta, legens ex volumine sermones Domini in domo Domini.
And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words of Jehovah in Jehovah’s house.
9 Factum est autem in anno quinto Ioakim filii Iosiae regis Iuda, in mense nono: praedicaverunt ieiunium in conspectu Domini omni populo in Ierusalem, et universae multitudini, quae confluxerat de civitatibus Iuda in Ierusalem.
Now it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, that all the people in Jerusalem, and all the people that came from the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem, proclaimed a fast before Jehovah.
10 Legitque Baruch ex volumine sermones Ieremiae in domo Domini in gazophylacio Gamariae filii Saphan scribae, in vestibulo superiori, in introitu portae novae domus Domini audiente omni populo.
Then read Baruch in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of Jehovah, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the upper court, at the entry of the new gate of Jehovah’s house, in the ears of all the people.
11 Cumque audisset Michaeas filius Gamariae filii Saphan omnes sermones Domini ex libro:
And when Micaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all the words of Jehovah,
12 descendit in domum regis ad gazophylacium scribae: et ecce ibi omnes principes sedebant: Elisama scriba, et Dalaias filius Semeiae, et Elnathan filius Achobor, et Gamarias filius Saphan, et Sedechias filius Hananiae, et universi principes.
he went down into the king’s house, into the scribe’s chamber: and, lo, all the princes were sitting there, [to wit], Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan the son of Achbor, and Gemariah the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes.
13 Et nunciavit eis Michaeas omnia verba, quae audivit legente Baruch ex volumine in auribus populi.
Then Micaiah declared unto them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people.
14 Miserunt itaque omnes principes ad Baruch, Iudi filium Nathaniae filii Selemiae, filii Chusi, dicentes: Volumen, ex quo legisti audiente populo, sume in manu tua, et veni. Tulit ergo Baruch filius Neriae volumen in manu sua, et venit ad eos.
Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, unto Baruch, saying, Take in thy hand the roll wherein thou hast read in the ears of the people, and come. So Baruch the son of Neriah took the roll in his hand, and came unto them.
15 Et dixerunt ad eum: Sede, et lege haec in auribus nostris. Et legit Baruch in auribus eorum.
And they said unto him, Sit down now, and read it in our ears. So Baruch read it in their ears.
16 Igitur cum audissent omnia verba, obstupuerunt unusquisque ad proximum suum, et dixerunt ad Baruch: Nunciare debemus regi omnes sermones istos.
Now it came to pass, when they had heard all the words, they turned in fear one toward another, and said unto Baruch, We will surely tell the king of all these words.
17 Et interrogaverunt eum, dicentes: Indica nobis quomodo scripsisti omnes sermones istos ex ore eius.
And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How didst thou write all these words at his mouth?
18 Dixit autem eis Baruch: Ex ore suo loquebatur quasi legens ad me omnes sermones istos. et ego scribebam in volumine atramento.
Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced all these words unto me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.
19 Et dixerunt principes ad Baruch: Vade, et abscondere tu et Ieremias, et nemo sciat ubi sitis.
Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go, hide thee, thou and Jeremiah; and let no man know where ye are.
20 Et ingressi sunt ad regem in atrium: porro volumen commendaverunt in gazophylacio Elisamae scribae: et nunciaverunt audiente rege omnes sermones.
And they went in to the king into the court; but they had laid up the roll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe; and they told all the words in the ears of the king.
21 Misitque rex Iudi ut sumeret volumen: qui tollens illud de gazophylacio Elisamae scribae, legit audiente rege, et universis principibus, qui stabant circa regem.
So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll; and he took 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 that stood beside the king.
22 Rex autem sedebat in domo hiemali in mense nono: et posita erat arula coram eo plena prunis.
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 Cumque legisset Iudi tres pagellas vel quattuor, scidit illud scalpello scribae, et proiecit in ignem, qui erat super arulam donec consumeretur omne volumen igne, qui erat in arula.
And it came to pass, when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, that [the king] cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was in the brazier, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier.
24 Et non timuerunt, neque sciderunt vestimenta sua rex, et omnes servi eius, qui audierunt universos sermones istos.
And they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants that heard all these words.
25 Verumtamen Elnathan, et Dalaias, et Gamarias contradixerunt regi ne combureret librum: et non audivit eos.
Moreover Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the roll; but he would not hear them.
26 Et praecepit rex Ieremiel filio Amelech, et Saraiae filio Ezriel, et Selemiae filio Abdeel ut comprehenderent Baruch scribam, et Ieremiam prophetam: abscondit autem eos Dominus.
And the king commanded Jerahmeel the king’s son, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; but Jehovah hid them.
27 Et factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam prophetam, postquam combusserat rex volumen et sermones, quos scripserat Baruch ex ore Ieremiae, dicens:
Then the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah, after that the king had burned the roll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,
28 Rursum tolle volumen aliud: et scribe in eo omnes sermones priores, qui erant in primo volumine, quod combussit Ioakim rex Iuda.
Take thee again another roll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath burned.
29 Et ad Ioakim regem Iuda, dices: Haec 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?
And concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah thou shalt say, Thus saith Jehovah: Thou hast burned this roll, saying, Why hast thou written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from thence man and beast?
30 Propterea haec dicit Dominus contra Ioakim regem Iuda: Non erit ex eo qui sedeat super solium David: et cadaver eius proiicietur ad aestum per diem, et ad gelu per noctem.
Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David; and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.
31 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.
And I will punish him and his seed and his servants for their iniquity; and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them, but they hearkened not.
32 Ieremias autem tulit volumen aliud, et dedit illud Baruch filio Neriae scribae: qui scripsit in eo ex ore Ieremiae omnes sermones libri, quem combusserat Ioakim rex Iuda igni: et insuper additi sunt sermones multo plures, quam antea fuerant.
Then took Jeremiah another roll, 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 there were added besides unto them many like words.
