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 Jehoyakim the son of Josiah the king of Judah, that this word came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, 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-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 that I spoke unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even until 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.
Peradventure it be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto them: in order 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 did Jeremiah call Baruch the son of Neriyah: and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the Lord, which he had spoken unto him, upon a roll-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 am not able to enter into the house of the Lord:
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 the Lord before the ears of the people in the house of the Lord on the fast-day; and also before the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities shalt thou read them.
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.
Perhaps it may be that they will humbly present their supplication before the Lord, and will return every one from his evil way; for great are the anger and the fury that the Lord hath decreed 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 Neriyah did in accordance with all that Jeremiah the prophet had commanded him, to read in the book the words of the Lord in the house of the Lord.
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.
And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoyakim the son of Josiah the king of Judah, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before the Lord for all the people in Jerusalem, and for all the people that came from the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem.
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.
And Baruch read in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of the Lord, in the chamber of Gemaryahu the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the upper court, at the entrance of the new gate of the Lord's house, before the ears of all the people.
11 Cumque audisset Michaeas filius Gamariae filii Saphan omnes sermones Domini ex libro:
And when Michayhu the son of Gemaryahu, the son of Shaphan, had heard all the words of the Lord out of the book:
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, even Elishama' the scribe, and Delayahu the son of Shema'yahu, and Elnathan the son of 'Achbor, and Gemaryahu the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son of Chananyahu, and all the princes.
13 Et nunciavit eis Michaeas omnia verba, quae audivit legente Baruch ex volumine in auribus populi.
And Michayhu told unto them all the words which he had heard, when Baruch read in the book before 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.
Thereupon sent all the princes Jehudi the son of Nethanyahu, the son of Shelemyahu, the son of Cushi, unto Baruch, saying, The roll wherein thou hast read before the ears of the people, —this take in thy hand, and come. So Baruch the son of Neriyahu 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, we pray thee, and read it before our ears. So Baruch read it before 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 heard all the words, they looked terrified at each other, and they 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, Do tell us, How didst thou write down all these words from 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 said Baruch unto them, With his mouth did he utter clearly all these words unto me, and I wrote them in the book with ink.
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 thyself, thou with 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 the roll they had put in safe keeping in the chamber of Elishama' the scribe; and they told before the ears of the king all the words.
21 Misitque rex Iudi ut sumeret volumen: qui tollens illud de gazophylacio Elisamae scribae, legit audiente rege, et universis principibus, qui stabant circa regem.
But the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll; and he took it out of the chamber of Elishama' the scribe. And Jehudi read it before the ears of the king, and before the ears of all the princes who stood around 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 a pan of coals was 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 pages, that he cut it with the writer's knife, and cast it into the fire that was in the coal-pan, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was in the coal-pan.
24 Et non timuerunt, neque sciderunt vestimenta sua rex, et omnes servi eius, qui audierunt universos sermones istos.
Yet they were not terrified, nor did they rend their garments, either the king, or any of his servants that had heard all these words.
25 Verumtamen Elnathan, et Dalaias, et Gamarias contradixerunt regi ne combureret librum: et non audivit eos.
And although Elnathan and Delayahu and Gemaryahu had also made intercession with the king that he might not burn the roll, he would not listen to 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 Yerachmeel the son of the king, and Serayahu the son of 'Azriel, and Shelemyahu the son of 'Abdeel, to seize on Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; but the Lord 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 came the word of the Lord to Jeremiah, after the king had burnt the roll, and the words which Baruch had written down from 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 on it all the former words that have been on the first roll, which Jehoyakim the king of Judah hath burnt.
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 Jehoyakim the king of Judah shalt thou say, Thus hath said the Lord, Thou hast indeed burnt 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 therefrom 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 hath said the Lord concerning Jehoyakim the king of Judah, He shall have no one to sit upon the throne of David; and his dead body shall be cast out to the heat in the day, and to the cold in the night.
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 visit on him and on his seed and on his servants their iniquity; and I will bring over them, and over the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and against the men of Judah, all the evil that I have spoken against them, while they did not hearken.
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.
And Jeremiah took another roll, and gave it to Baruch the son of Neriyahu the scribe; who wrote thereon from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoyakim the king of Judah had burnt in the fire: and there were yet added unto them many words like them.
