Jeremia 36
1 Uti fjerde årena Jojakims, Josia sons, Juda Konungs, skedde detta ordet till Jeremia af Herranom, och sade:
When Jehoiakim had been the king of Judah for almost four years, Yahweh gave this message to me:
2 Tag ena bok, och skrif deruti allt det tal, som jag till dig talat hafver öfver Israel, öfver Juda, och all folk, ifrå den tiden, då jag till dig talat hafver, nämliga ifrå Josia tid, allt intill denna dag;
“Get a scroll, and write on it the messages that I have given to you regarding Israel, Judah, and the other nations. Write all of the messages, starting from the time that I gave you the first message, when Josiah was the king, up until now.
3 Om tilläfventyrs Juda hus, när de höra all den olycko, som jag hafver i sinnet att göra dem, sig omvända måga, hvar och en ifrå sitt onda väsende, på det jag måtte förlåta dem deras missgerningar och synder.
When the people of Judah hear [again] about all the disasters that I plan to cause them to experience, perhaps each one of them will repent. If they do that, I will be able to forgive them for the wrong/evil things that they have done.”
4 Då kallade Jeremia Baruch, Neria son. Den samme Baruch skref uti ena bok af Jeremia mun all Herrans ord, som han till honom talat hade.
[So] I summoned Baruch, the son of Neraiah. Then, as I dictated to him all the messages that Yahweh had spoken to me, he wrote them on a scroll.
5 Och Jeremia böd Baruch, och sade: Jag är fången, så att jag icke kan gå uti Herrans hus;
Then I said to him, “I am not allowed to [leave here and] go to the temple.
6 Men gack du derin, och läs bokena, der du Herrans ord af minom mun uti skrifvit hafver, för folkena i Herrans hus, på fastodagomen; och skall desslikes läsa dem för hela Juda öron, som uti deras städer inkomma;
So, you go [to the temple] on the [next] day when the people are (fasting/abstaining from food), and read to them the messages from Yahweh that you wrote while I dictated them to you. Read them [aloud] to all the people [who are there, including] the people of Judah who come [there] from their towns.
7 Om de tilläfventyrs måtte ödmjuka sig med bedjande inför Herranom, och omvända sig, hvar och en ifrå sitt onda väsende; ty vreden och grymheten är stor, der Herren emot detta folket om talat hafver.
Perhaps they will turn from their evil behavior and request Yahweh [to act mercifully toward them]. [They must do that, ] because Yahweh is very angry with them and has threatened to punish them severely.”
8 Och Baruch, Neria son, gjorde allt det Propheten Jeremia honom befallt hade, och las Herrans ord utu bokene, i Herrans hus.
Baruch did what I told him to do. He [went to the temple and] read [to the people] all those messages from Yahweh.
9 Men det begaf sig uti femte årena Jojakims, Josia, sons, Juda Konungs, uti nionde månadenom, att man förkunnade ena fasto för Herranom allo folkena i Jerusalem, och allo folkena, som utaf Juda städer till Jerusalem kommo.
He did it in December on a day when their leaders had proclaimed that all the people in Jerusalem and the people who had come there from [other] towns in Judah should fast to [please/honor] Yahweh. [It was when] Jehoiakim had been king for almost five years.
10 Och Baruch las utu bokene Jeremia ord i Herrans hus, uti Gemaria kammar, Saphans sons, cancellerens, i öfra gårdenom, inför den nya porten åt Herrans hus, för allo folkena.
Baruch read to all the people the messages [that he had written] on the scroll. [He read them while he was] in the temple, in the room where Gemariah stayed. He was the son of Shaphan, [who had previously been the king’s] secretary. That room was close to the upper courtyard [of the temple], near the entrance to the temple that is [called] the New Gate.
11 Då nu Michaja, Gemaria son, Saphans sons, all Herrans ord utu bokene hört hade,
When Micaiah, who was the son of Gemariah and grandson of Shaphan, heard those messages from Yahweh,
12 Gick han ned uti Konungshuset, uti cancelliet; och si, der såto alle Förstarna, Elisama cancelleren, Delaja, Semaja son, ElNathan, Achbors son, Gemaria, Saphans son, och Zedekia, Hanania son, samt med alla Förstarna.
he went down to the secretary’s room in the palace, where all the king’s officials were meeting. Elishama the [king’s] secretary [was there]. Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, Elnathan the son of Acbor, Gemariah, Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the [other] officials [of the king were also there].
13 Och Michaja förkunnade dem all de ord, som han hört hade, då Baruch las utu bokene för folkens öron.
When Micaiah told them about the messages that Baruch had been reading to the people,
14 Då sände alle Förstarna Judi, Nethania son, Selemia sons, Cusi sons, efter Baruch, och läto säga honom: Tag den bokena med dig, der du utu för folkena läsit hafver, och kom hit. Och Baruch, Neria son, tog bokena med sig, och kom till dem.
the officials sent Jehudi, who was the son of Nethaniah and grandson of Shelemiah and great-grandson of Cushi, to tell Baruch to come [and read the messages to them, also]. So Baruch took the scroll and went to them.
15 Och de sade till honom: Sätt dig, och läs, att vi måge hörat. Och Baruch las för deras öron.
They said to him, “Please sit down and read it [to us].” So Baruch did what they requested.
16 Och då de all orden hört hade, förskräcktes de hvar emot den andra, och sade till Baruch: Vi vilje förkunna Konungenom all dessa orden.
After they had heard all the messages, they were afraid. They looked at each other and [then] they said, “We must tell these messages to the king!”
17 Och sporde de Baruch: Säg oss, huru hafver du skrifvit all dessa orden utu hans mun?
Then they asked Baruch, “How did you get this scroll? Did Jeremiah dictate to you all the messages on this scroll?”
18 Baruch sade till dem: Han las mig all dessa orden till, utaf sinom mun, och jag skref dem med bläck uti bokena.
Baruch replied, “[Yes], Jeremiah dictated them to me, and I wrote them with ink on this scroll.”
19 Då sade Förstarna till Baruch: Gack bort, och förgöm dig med Jeremia, så att ingen vet hvar I ären.
Then the officials told Baruch, “You and Jeremiah must both hide. Do not tell anyone where you are!”
20 Men de gingo in till Konungen i förpalatset, och läto bokena blifva qvara i Elisama cancellerens kammar, och sade för Konungenom all dessa orden.
They put the scroll in the room of Elishama, the king’s secretary. Then they went to the king, who was in the courtyard, and reported to him everything [that Baruch had read to them].
21 Då sände Konungen Judi åstad, till att hemta bokena. Han tog henne utur Elisama cancellerens kammar, och Judi las henne för Konungenom, och allom Förstomen, som för Konungenom stodo.
Then the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll. Jehudi brought it from Elishama’s room and read it to the king, while all the [king’s] officials were standing there.
22 Men Konungen satt i vinterhusena, för skorstenen, i nionde månadenom.
It was in the cold season, and the king was in a part of the palace where he stayed when it was cold. He was sitting in front of a fire [to keep/be warm].
23 Som nu Judi tre eller fyra blad läsit hade, skar han henne sönder med enom skrifknif, och kastade i elden, som i skorstenenom var, tilldess boken platt uppbrändes i eldenom.
Each time Jehudi finished reading three or four columns, the king cut off that section of the scroll with a knife and threw it into the fire. He did that, section by section, until the entire scroll was burned up.
24 Och ingen förskräckte sig eller sönderref sin kläder, hvarken Konungen, eller hans tjenare, hvilke dock all dessa orden hört hade;
Neither the king nor his officials showed that they were afraid [that God would punish them]. They did not tear their clothes [to show that they were sorry for what they had done].
25 Ändock ElNathan, Delaja och Gemaria bådo Konungen, att han dock icke ville uppbränna bokena; men han hörde dem intet.
Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah pleaded with the king not to burn the scroll, but he did not pay any attention.
26 Dertill böd ändå Konungen Jerahmeel, Hammelechs sone, och Seraja, Asriels sone, och Selemja, Abdeels sone, att de skulle gripa Baruch skrifvaren, och Jeremia Propheten; men Herren hade förgömt dem.
Then the king commanded his son Jerahmeel, Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel to arrest Baruch and me. But [they were unable to do that because] Yahweh had hidden us.
27 Då skedde Herrans ord till Jeremia, sedan Konungen hade uppbränt bokena, och de ord, som Baruch utaf Jeremia mun skrifvit hade, och sade:
After the king had burned the scroll on which were written the messages that I had dictated to Baruch, Yahweh said this to me:
28 Tag dig åter en annor bok, och skrif all de förra orden deruti, som i den första bokene stodo, den Jojakim, Juda Konung, uppbränt hafver;
“Get another scroll, and [tell Baruch to] write everything again, the same messages that he had written on the scroll that the king burned.
29 Och säg till Jojakim, Juda Konung: Detta säger Herren: Du hafver uppbränt bokena, och sagt: Hvi hafver du deruti skrifvit, att Konungen af Babel komma skall och förderfva detta landet, och görat så att hvarken folk eller fä mer derinne blifva skall?
[Then go to] the king and say to him, ‘Yahweh says this: “You burned the scroll [because you did not like] what was written on it, that the king of Babylon would surely [RHQ] come [with his army] and destroy this land and get rid of all the people and the animals.
30 Derföre säger Herren om Jojakim, Juda Konung: Det skall ingen af hans säd sitta på Davids stol, och hans kropp skall utkastad varda, och ligga i hetta om dagen, och i frost om nattena.
Now this is what [I], Yahweh, say about [you], Jehoiakim: 'None of your descendants will rule this kingdom [MTY]. Your corpse will be thrown out [on the ground and not be buried]; it will be under the hot [sun] during the days and [struck by] frost during the nights.
31 Och jag skall hemsöka honom, och hans säd, och hans tjenare, för deras missgerningars skull, och jag skall låta komma öfver dem, och öfver Jerusalems inbyggare, och öfver dem i Juda, alla den olycko, som jag till dem talat hafver, och de dock intet höra ville.
I will punish you and your family and your officials for their sins. And I will cause the people of Jerusalem and the people of the [other] towns in Judah to experience all the disasters that I promised, because you all would not pay attention [to what I said]!'” '”
32 Så tog Jeremia en annan bok, och fick henne Baruch, Neria sone, skrifvarenom: och han skref deruti, af Jeremia mun, all de ord som i bokene stodo, som Jojakim, Juda Konung, hade i eld uppbränna låtit; och till de samma vordo ännu mycket flere ord tillagd, än de förra voro.
So I took another scroll, and again I dictated the messages to Baruch. He wrote everything that had been written on the [other] scroll, the one that King Jehoiakim had burned in the fire. [But this time, I] added more messages.
