Jeremiæ 36
1 Et factum est in anno quarto Ioakim filii Iosiæ 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 to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
2 Tolle volumen libri, et scribes in eo omnia verba, quæ locutus sum tibi adversum Israel et Iudam, et adversum omnes gentes: a die, qua locutus sum ad te ex diebus Iosiæ usque ad diem hanc:
Take you a roll of a book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken to you against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spoke to you, from the days of Josiah, even to this day.
3 Si forte audiente domo Iuda universa mala, quæ 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 to 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 Neriæ: et scripsit Baruch ex ore Ieremiæ 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 the LORD, which he had spoken to him, on a roll of a book.
5 et præcepit 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 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 you, and read in the roll, which you have written from my mouth, the words of the LORD in the ears of the people in the LORD’s house on the fasting day: and also you shall 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 the LORD, and will return every one from his evil way: for great is the anger and the fury that the LORD has pronounced against this people.
8 Et fecit Baruch filius Neriæ iuxta omnia, quæ præceperat 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 the LORD in the LORD’s house.
9 Factum est autem in anno quinto Ioakim filii Iosiæ regis Iuda, in mense nono: prædicaverunt ieiunium in conspectu Domini omni populo in Ierusalem, et universæ multitudini, quæ confluxerat de civitatibus Iuda in Ierusalem.
And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before the LORD to all the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people that came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem.
10 Legitque Baruch ex volumine sermones Ieremiæ in domo Domini in gazophylacio Gamariæ filii Saphan scribæ, in vestibulo superiori, in introitu portæ novæ domus Domni audiente omni populo.
Then read Baruch in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of the LORD, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the higher court, at the entry of the new gate of the LORD’s house, in the ears of all the people.
11 Cumque audisset Michæas filius Gamariæ filii Saphan omnes sermones Domini ex libro:
When Michaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all the words of the LORD,
12 descendit in domum regis ad gazophylacium scribæ: et ecce ibi omnes principes sedebant: Elisama scriba, et Dalaias filius Semeiæ, et Elnathan filius Achobor, et Gamarias filius Saphan, et Sedecias filius Hananiæ, et universi principes.
Then he went down into the king’s house, into the scribe’s chamber: and, see, all the princes sat there, even 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 Michæas omnia verba, quæ audivit legente Baruch ex volumine in auribus populi.
Then Michaiah declared to 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 Nathaniæ filii Selemiæ, filii Chusi, dicentes: Volumen, ex quo legisti audiente populo, sume in manu tua, et veni. Tulit ergo Baruch filius Neriæ 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, to Baruch, saying, Take in your hand the roll wherein you have read in the ears of the people, and come. So Baruch the son of Neriah took the roll in his hand, and came to them.
15 Et dixerunt ad eum: Sede, et lege hæc in auribus nostris. Et legit Baruch in auribus eorum.
And they said to 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 were afraid both one and other, and said to 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 did you 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 to 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 to Baruch, Go, hide you, you and Jeremiah; and let no man know where you be.
20 Et ingressi sunt ad regem in atrium: porro volumen commendaverunt in gazophylacio Elisamæ scribæ: et nunciaverunt audiente rege omnes sermones.
And they went in to the king into the court, but they laid up the roll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and told all the words in the ears of the king.
21 Misitque rex Iudi ut sumeret volumen: qui tollens illud de gazophylacio Elisamæ scribæ, 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 Elishama the scribe’s chamber. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes which 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 sat in the winter house in the ninth month: and there was a fire on the hearth burning before him.
23 Cumque legisset Iudi tres pagellas vel quattuor, scidit illud scalpello scribæ, et proiecit in ignem, qui erat super arulam donec consumeretur omne volumen igni, qui erat in arula.
And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth.
24 Et non timuerunt, neque sciderunt vestimenta sua rex, et omnes servi eius, qui audierunt universos sermones istos.
Yet 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.
Nevertheless 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 præcepit rex Ieremiel filio Amelech, et Saraiæ filio Ezriel, et Selemiæ filio Abdeel ut comprehenderent Baruch scribam, et Ieremiam prophetam: abscondit autem eos Dominus.
But the king commanded Jerahmeel the son of Hammelech, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take 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 Ieremiæ, dicens:
Then the word of the LORD 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 you again another roll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah has burned.
29 Et ad Ioakim regem Iuda, dices: Hæc 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 you shall say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, Thus says the LORD; You have burned this roll, saying, Why have you written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from there man and beast?
30 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus contra Ioakim regem Iuda: Non erit ex eo qui sedeat super solium David: et cadaver eius proiicietur ad æstum per diem, et ad gelu per noctem.
Therefore thus says the LORD of Jehoiakim king of Judah; He shall have none to sit on 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 on them, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and on the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them; but they listened not.
32 Ieremias autem tulit volumen aliud, et dedit illud Baruch filio Neriæ scribæ: qui scripsit in eo ex ore Ieremiæ 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 to them many like words.
