Ieremia 43
1 Și s-a întâmplat, când Ieremia a terminat de vorbit întregului popor toate cuvintele DOMNULUI Dumnezeului lor, pentru care DOMNUL Dumnezeul lor îl trimisese la ei, toate aceste cuvinte,
IN THE FOURTH YEAR OF JOAKIM son of Josias king of Juda, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 Că Azaria, fiul lui Hoșaia, și Iohanan, fiul lui Careah, și toți bărbații mândri, a vorbit, spunându-i lui Ieremia: Tu vorbești mincinos; DOMNUL Dumnezeul nostru nu te-a trimis să spui: Nu mergeți în Egipt să locuiți temporar acolo;
Take you a roll of a book, and write upon it all the words which I spoke to you against Jerusalem, and against Juda, and against all the nations, from the day when I spoke to you, from the days of Josias king of Juda, even to this day.
3 Ci Baruc, fiul lui Neriia, te pune împotriva noastră, pentru a fi dați în mâna caldeenilor, ca ei să ne dea la moarte și să ne ducă robi în Babilon.
Perhaps the house of Juda will hear all the evils which I purpose to do to them; that they may turn from their evil way; and [so] I will be merciful to their iniquities and their sins.
4 Astfel Iohanan, fiul lui Careah, și toate căpeteniile armatelor și tot poporul nu au ascultat de vocea DOMNULUI, pentru a locui în țara lui Iuda.
So Jeremias called Baruch the son of Nerias: and he wrote from the mouth of Jeremias all the words of the Lord, which he had spoken to him, on a roll of a book.
5 Ci Iohanan, fiul lui Careah, și toate căpeteniile armatelor, au luat toată rămășița lui Iuda care se întorsese din toate națiunile, unde fuseseră alungați, pentru a locui în țara lui Iuda,
And Jeremias commanded Baruch, saying, I am in prison; I can’t enter into the house of the Lord:
6 Pe bărbați și pe femei și pe copii și pe fiicele împăratului și pe fiecare persoană pe care Nebuzaradan căpetenia gărzii o lăsase cu Ghedalia, fiul lui Ahicam, fiul lui Șafan, și pe profetul Ieremia și pe Baruc fiul lui Neriia.
so you shall read in this roll in the ears of the people in the house of the Lord, on the fast day; and in the ears of all Juda that come out of their cities, you shall read to them.
7 Astfel ei au intrat în țara Egiptului, pentru că nu au ascultat de vocea DOMNULUI; astfel, ei au ajuns până la Tahpanes.
Peradventure their supplication will come before the Lord, and they will turn from their evil way: for great is the wrath and the anger of the Lord, which he has pronounced against this people.
8 Atunci a venit cuvântul DOMNULUI la Ieremia în Tahpanes, spunând:
And Baruch did according to all that Jeremias commanded him—reading in the book the words of the Lord in the Lord's house.
9 Ia pietre mari în mâna ta și ascunde-le în lut, în cuptorul de cărămizi, care este la intrarea casei lui Faraon în Tahpanes, înaintea vederii bărbaților lui Iuda;
And it came to pass in the eighth year of king Joakim, in the ninth month, all the people in Jerusalem, and the house of Juda, proclaimed a fast before the Lord.
10 Și spune-le: Astfel spune DOMNUL oștirilor, Dumnezeul lui Israel: Iată, eu voi trimite și voi lua pe Nebucadnețar, împăratul Babilonului, servitorul meu, și voi pune tronul lui deasupra acestor pietre pe care le-am ascuns; și el își va întinde cortul împărătesc peste ele.
And Baruch read in the book the words of Jeremias in the house of the Lord, in the house of Gamarias son of Saphan the scribe, in the upper court, in the entrance of the new gate of the house of the Lord, and in the ears of all the people.
11 Și după ce va veni el, va lovi țara Egiptului și va da pe cei care sunt pentru moarte la moarte; și pe cei care sunt pentru captivitate la captivitate; și pe cei care sunt pentru sabie la sabie.
And Michaeas the son of Gamarias the son of Saphan heard all the words of the Lord, out of the book.
12 Și voi aprinde un foc în casele dumnezeilor Egiptului; și el le va arde și pe ei îi va duce captivi; și el se va înveșmânta cu țara Egiptului, precum un păstor se îmbracă cu haina lui; și va ieși de acolo în pace.
And he went down to the king's house, into the house of the scribe: and, behold, there were sitting there all the princes, Elisama the scribe, and Dalaeas the son of Selemias, and Jonathan the son of Acchobor, and Gamarias the son of Saphan, and Sedekias the son of Ananias, and all the princes.
13 El va sparge chipurile din Bet-Șemeș, care este în țara Egiptului; și casele dumnezeilor egiptenilor le va arde cu foc.
And Michaeas reported to them all the words which he had heard Baruch reading in the ears of the people.
And all the princes sent to Baruch son of Nerias Judin the son of Nathanias, the son of Selemias, the son of Chusi, saying, Take in your hand the roll in which you read in the ears of the people, and come. So Baruch took the roll, and went down to them.
And they said to him, Read [it] again in our ears. And Baruch read [it].
And it came to pass, when they [had] heard all the words, [that] they took counsel each with his neighbour, and said, Let us by all means tell the king all these words.
And they asked Baruch, saying, Where did you write all these words?
And Baruch said, Jeremias told me from his [own] mouth all these words, and I wrote them in a book.
And they said to Baruch, Go, and hide, you and Jeremias; let no man know where you [are].
And they went in to the king into the court, and gave the roll [to one] to keep in the house of Elisama; and they told the king all these words.
And the king sent Judin to fetch the roll: and he took it out of the house of Elisama: and Judin read in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes who stood round the king.
Now the king was sitting in the winter house: and [there was] a fire on the hearth before him.
And it came to pass when Judin had read three or four leaves, he cut them off with a penknife, and cast [them] into the fire that was on the hearth, until the whole roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth.
And the king and his servants that heard all these words sought not [the Lord], and tore not their garments.
But Elnathan and Godolias suggested to the king that he should burn the roll.
And the king commanded Jeremeel the king's son, and Saraeas the son of Esriel, to take Baruch and Jeremias: but they were hidden.
Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, after the king had burnt the roll, [even] all the words which Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremias, saying,
Again take you another roll, and write all the words that were on the roll, which king Joakim has burnt.
And you shall say, Thus says the Lord; You have burnt this roll, saying, Why have you written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come in, and destroy this land, and man and cattle shall fail from off it?
Therefore thus says the Lord concerning Joakim king of Juda; He shall not have [a man] to sit on the throne of David: and his carcass shall be cast forth in the heat by day, and in the frost by night.
And I will visit him, and his family, and his servants: and I will bring upon him, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the land of Juda, all the evils which I spoke of to them; and they listened not.
And Baruch took another roll, and wrote upon it from the mouth of Jeremias all the words of the book which Joakim had burnt: and there were yet more words added to it like the former.
