耶利米書

第36章

1 猶大王約西亞子約雅金四年、耶和華諭耶利米曰、

2 自約西亞之時、迄於今日、我所告爾、論以色列猶大與衆國之語、爾當取卷、書之於上、

3 庶幾猶大人民、聞我降災、改厥惡行、望我赦宥。

4 耶利米召尼利亞子巴錄至、巴錄以耶利米所傳耶和華之語、書之於卷。

5 耶利米告巴錄曰、我囚於獄、不能詣耶和華殿。

6 禁食之日、猶大國人自衆邑、詣耶和華殿、爾當以我所傳耶和華之命、書之於卷者、誦於民前。

7 耶和華震怒、言欲降災於斯民、庶幾斯民悛改惡行、求耶和華恩焉、

8 尼利亞子巴錄悉遵先耶利米所諭、在耶和華殿誦卷中之語。

9 猶大王約西亞子約雅金五年九月、耶路撒冷居民、及來自猶大諸邑、至耶路撒冷者、播告於衆、當在耶和華前禁食。

10 時巴錄詣耶和華殿、入繕寫沙番子其馬哩室、在上院新門之側、以所書耶利米言朗誦之、俾民咸聽。

11 沙番孫、其馬哩子米該雅聽書所載耶和華之言、

12 則詣王宮、入繕寫之室、見繕寫以利沙馬、示罵雅子地來雅、亞革破子利拿單、沙番子其馬哩、哈拿尼亞子西底家、諸牧伯、咸坐於彼、

13 米該雅以巴錄誦書、庶民咸聽之事、

14 告諸牧伯遣古示曾孫、示利米孫、尼大尼子猶底、詣巴錄所、告之曰、以爾所誦之卷、攜之以至、尼利亞子巴錄執卷而至。

15 衆曰、坐、爾朗誦之、俾我諦聽。巴錄誦之、

16 衆聽畢、驚訝不已、告巴錄曰、我必以斯言奏王。

17 又詰之云、爾所書之言、果彼所述否、明以告我。

18 巴錄曰、斯言也、彼誠述之、我筆之於書。

19 諸牧伯告巴錄曰、爾與耶利米宜遁於僻地、勿俾人知。

20 諸牧伯藏其卷於繕寫以利沙馬之室、入朝覲王、以斯言奏之。

21 王遣猶底取卷以至、遂取之於繕寫以利沙馬室、誦於王前、諸牧伯侍側。

22 時屆九月、王坐禦寒之宮、前有爐火。

23 猶底誦三四篇、遂以削簡之刀割之、投之於爐、全卷悉焚。

24 王臣雖聽所誦之言、不知警、不裂衣、

25 利拿單、地來雅、其馬哩諫王勿焚、王弗聽。

26 王使哈米勒子耶喇滅、押列子西勑亞、押鐵子示利米、執繕寫巴錄、先知耶利米、而賴耶和華祕匿之。

27 巴錄以耶利米言書於卷、旣爲王所焚、耶和華諭耶利米曰、

28 猶大王約雅金、旣焚斯卷、爾當復取一卷、如前所言錄之、

29 奏猶大王約雅金曰、耶和華云、卷中有言巴比倫王必至、翦滅斯國、人民野獸、不得安居、爾不悅斯言、火焚其卷、

30 故耶和華論猶大王約雅金云、雖有後嗣、不得繼大闢之位、棄尸於外、晝暴之、夜寒之、

31 我必罰其罪、爰及子孫臣僕、昔予有言、欲降災於耶路撒冷居民、猶大國人、而彼弗顧、今必使災速至。

32 昔書一卷、爲猶大王約雅金所焚、耶利米復取一卷、畀繕寫尼利亞子巴錄、使書耶利米諸言、一如疇昔、更增言詞、其義畧同。

Jeremiah

Chapter 36

1 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 Take a scroll of a book and write on it 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 It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do to them; that they may turn every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their trespasses and their sins.

4 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, upon a scroll of a book.

5 And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I cannot enter into the house of the LORD;

6 Therefore go and read the scroll which you have written from my mouth, the words of the LORD, in the presence of the people in the LORD'S house on a fast day; and also you shall read them in the presence of all the people of Judah who come out of their cities.

7 It may be they will present their supplication before the LORD, and every one will turn from his evil way; so that the LORD may cease from the evil which he has pronounced against them; for great is the anger and the fury that he has pronounced against this people.

8 And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the scroll the words of the LORD in the LORD'S house.

9 And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth month, when all the people in Jerusalem had proclaimed a fast before the LORD, Baruch read before all the people who came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem.

10 Then Baruch the scribe read the words of the LORD which Jeremiah the prophet had spoken in the house of the LORD in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe in the upper court at the entry of the new gate of the LORD'S house before all the people.

11 When Michaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, heard all the words of the LORD from the book,

12 He went down from the king's house to the scribes' chamber; and he saw all the princes seated there: Elishama the scribe, and Belaiah the son of Shemaiah and Eliathan the son of Achbor and Gemariah the son of Shaphan and Zedekiah the son of Hananiah and all the princes.

13 Then Michaiah told them all the words that he had heard when Baruch the scribe read the scroll in the presence of the people.

14 Then 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 scroll which you have read before the people, and come. So Baruch the son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand and came to them.

15 And the princes said to him, Sit down now and read it in our presence; so Baruch read it in their presence.

16 Now it came to pass when they had heard all the words that they were alarmed, looking one to another, and they said to Baruch, We will surely tell the king of all these words.

17 And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, how did you write all these words at his mouth?

18 Then Baruch answered them, Jeremiah dictated all these words to me and I wrote them with ink in the book.

19 Then the princes said to Baruch, Go hide, you and Jeremiah; and let no man know where you are.

20 Then the princes went to the king in the courtyard, but they placed the scroll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and told all the words in the presence of the king.

21 So the king sent Jehudi to bring the scroll; and he took it from the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and Jehudi read it before the king and before all the princes who stood before the king.

22 Now the king was sitting in the winter house in the ninth month; and there was a fire burning on the brazier before him.

23 And it came to pass that when Jehudi had read three or four pages, the king cut it with the scribe's penknife and threw it into the coals of fire; and the whole scroll was consumed in the fire that was on the brazier.

24 Yet neither the king nor any of his servants were afraid, nor did they tear their garments when they heard all these words.

25 Nevertheless Eliathan and Belaiah and Gemariah had entreated the king not to burn the scroll; but he would not listen to them.

26 And the king commanded Jerahmael the king's son and Seraiah the son of Azriel and Shelemiah the son of Abdael to seize Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch the scribe; but the LORD hid them.

27 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah after the king had burned the scroll and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,

28 Return from hiding and take another scroll and write on it all the former words that were on the first scroll, which Jehoiakim king of Judah has burned.

29 And you shall say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, Thus says the LORD: You have burned this scroll, saying, Why have you written in it and said, The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land and exterminate from it both man and beast?

30 Therefore, thus says the LORD concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah, He shall have not an heir 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 And I will punish him and his offspring and his servants for their iniquity; and I will bring upon them and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem and upon the men of Judah all the evil things that I have pronounced against them; because they did not hearken to my voice.

32 Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah, who wrote on it as Jeremiah dictated all the words which were written in the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire; and he added to them many similar words.

Chapter 36

1 猶大王約西亞子約雅金四年、耶和華諭耶利米曰、

1 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 自約西亞之時、迄於今日、我所告爾、論以色列猶大與衆國之語、爾當取卷、書之於上、

2 Take a scroll of a book and write on it 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 庶幾猶大人民、聞我降災、改厥惡行、望我赦宥。

3 It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do to them; that they may turn every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their trespasses and their sins.

4 耶利米召尼利亞子巴錄至、巴錄以耶利米所傳耶和華之語、書之於卷。

4 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, upon a scroll of a book.

5 耶利米告巴錄曰、我囚於獄、不能詣耶和華殿。

5 And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I cannot enter into the house of the LORD;

6 禁食之日、猶大國人自衆邑、詣耶和華殿、爾當以我所傳耶和華之命、書之於卷者、誦於民前。

6 Therefore go and read the scroll which you have written from my mouth, the words of the LORD, in the presence of the people in the LORD'S house on a fast day; and also you shall read them in the presence of all the people of Judah who come out of their cities.

7 耶和華震怒、言欲降災於斯民、庶幾斯民悛改惡行、求耶和華恩焉、

7 It may be they will present their supplication before the LORD, and every one will turn from his evil way; so that the LORD may cease from the evil which he has pronounced against them; for great is the anger and the fury that he has pronounced against this people.

8 尼利亞子巴錄悉遵先耶利米所諭、在耶和華殿誦卷中之語。

8 And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the scroll the words of the LORD in the LORD'S house.

9 猶大王約西亞子約雅金五年九月、耶路撒冷居民、及來自猶大諸邑、至耶路撒冷者、播告於衆、當在耶和華前禁食。

9 And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth month, when all the people in Jerusalem had proclaimed a fast before the LORD, Baruch read before all the people who came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem.

10 時巴錄詣耶和華殿、入繕寫沙番子其馬哩室、在上院新門之側、以所書耶利米言朗誦之、俾民咸聽。

10 Then Baruch the scribe read the words of the LORD which Jeremiah the prophet had spoken in the house of the LORD in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe in the upper court at the entry of the new gate of the LORD'S house before all the people.

11 沙番孫、其馬哩子米該雅聽書所載耶和華之言、

11 When Michaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, heard all the words of the LORD from the book,

12 則詣王宮、入繕寫之室、見繕寫以利沙馬、示罵雅子地來雅、亞革破子利拿單、沙番子其馬哩、哈拿尼亞子西底家、諸牧伯、咸坐於彼、

12 He went down from the king's house to the scribes' chamber; and he saw all the princes seated there: Elishama the scribe, and Belaiah the son of Shemaiah and Eliathan the son of Achbor and Gemariah the son of Shaphan and Zedekiah the son of Hananiah and all the princes.

13 米該雅以巴錄誦書、庶民咸聽之事、

13 Then Michaiah told them all the words that he had heard when Baruch the scribe read the scroll in the presence of the people.

14 告諸牧伯遣古示曾孫、示利米孫、尼大尼子猶底、詣巴錄所、告之曰、以爾所誦之卷、攜之以至、尼利亞子巴錄執卷而至。

14 Then 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 scroll which you have read before the people, and come. So Baruch the son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand and came to them.

15 衆曰、坐、爾朗誦之、俾我諦聽。巴錄誦之、

15 And the princes said to him, Sit down now and read it in our presence; so Baruch read it in their presence.

16 衆聽畢、驚訝不已、告巴錄曰、我必以斯言奏王。

16 Now it came to pass when they had heard all the words that they were alarmed, looking one to another, and they said to Baruch, We will surely tell the king of all these words.

17 又詰之云、爾所書之言、果彼所述否、明以告我。

17 And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, how did you write all these words at his mouth?

18 巴錄曰、斯言也、彼誠述之、我筆之於書。

18 Then Baruch answered them, Jeremiah dictated all these words to me and I wrote them with ink in the book.

19 諸牧伯告巴錄曰、爾與耶利米宜遁於僻地、勿俾人知。

19 Then the princes said to Baruch, Go hide, you and Jeremiah; and let no man know where you are.

20 諸牧伯藏其卷於繕寫以利沙馬之室、入朝覲王、以斯言奏之。

20 Then the princes went to the king in the courtyard, but they placed the scroll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and told all the words in the presence of the king.

21 王遣猶底取卷以至、遂取之於繕寫以利沙馬室、誦於王前、諸牧伯侍側。

21 So the king sent Jehudi to bring the scroll; and he took it from the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and Jehudi read it before the king and before all the princes who stood before the king.

22 時屆九月、王坐禦寒之宮、前有爐火。

22 Now the king was sitting in the winter house in the ninth month; and there was a fire burning on the brazier before him.

23 猶底誦三四篇、遂以削簡之刀割之、投之於爐、全卷悉焚。

23 And it came to pass that when Jehudi had read three or four pages, the king cut it with the scribe's penknife and threw it into the coals of fire; and the whole scroll was consumed in the fire that was on the brazier.

24 王臣雖聽所誦之言、不知警、不裂衣、

24 Yet neither the king nor any of his servants were afraid, nor did they tear their garments when they heard all these words.

25 利拿單、地來雅、其馬哩諫王勿焚、王弗聽。

25 Nevertheless Eliathan and Belaiah and Gemariah had entreated the king not to burn the scroll; but he would not listen to them.

26 王使哈米勒子耶喇滅、押列子西勑亞、押鐵子示利米、執繕寫巴錄、先知耶利米、而賴耶和華祕匿之。

26 And the king commanded Jerahmael the king's son and Seraiah the son of Azriel and Shelemiah the son of Abdael to seize Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch the scribe; but the LORD hid them.

27 巴錄以耶利米言書於卷、旣爲王所焚、耶和華諭耶利米曰、

27 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah after the king had burned the scroll and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,

28 猶大王約雅金、旣焚斯卷、爾當復取一卷、如前所言錄之、

28 Return from hiding and take another scroll and write on it all the former words that were on the first scroll, which Jehoiakim king of Judah has burned.

29 奏猶大王約雅金曰、耶和華云、卷中有言巴比倫王必至、翦滅斯國、人民野獸、不得安居、爾不悅斯言、火焚其卷、

29 And you shall say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, Thus says the LORD: You have burned this scroll, saying, Why have you written in it and said, The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land and exterminate from it both man and beast?

30 故耶和華論猶大王約雅金云、雖有後嗣、不得繼大闢之位、棄尸於外、晝暴之、夜寒之、

30 Therefore, thus says the LORD concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah, He shall have not an heir 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 我必罰其罪、爰及子孫臣僕、昔予有言、欲降災於耶路撒冷居民、猶大國人、而彼弗顧、今必使災速至。

31 And I will punish him and his offspring and his servants for their iniquity; and I will bring upon them and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem and upon the men of Judah all the evil things that I have pronounced against them; because they did not hearken to my voice.

32 昔書一卷、爲猶大王約雅金所焚、耶利米復取一卷、畀繕寫尼利亞子巴錄、使書耶利米諸言、一如疇昔、更增言詞、其義畧同。

32 Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah, who wrote on it as Jeremiah dictated all the words which were written in the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire; and he added to them many similar words.
