¹耶和华命令耶利米写书卷

¹And it cometh to pass, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, this word hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying:

²“你取一卷书卷来，在上面写下我在约西亚作王的时候开始，直到今日，对你所说论到以色列和犹大，以及列国的一切话。

²`Take to thee a roll of a book, and thou hast written on it all the words that I have spoken unto thee concerning Israel, and concerning Judah, and concerning all the nations, from the day I spake unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day;

³或者犹大家听见我想要降给他们的一切灾祸，各人就回转，离开自己的恶道，我就赦免他们的罪孽和罪恶。”

³if so be the house of Israel do hear all the evil that I am thinking of doing to them, so that they turn back each from is evil way, and I have been propitious to their iniquity, and to their sin.`

⁴耶利米吩咐巴录宣读书卷于是耶利米把尼利亚的儿子巴录叫了来，巴录就从耶利米口中，把耶和华向耶利米所说的一切话，都写在书卷上。

⁴And Jeremiah calleth Baruch son of Neriah, and Baruch writeth from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of Jehovah, that He hath spoken unto him, on a roll of a book.

⁵耶利米吩咐巴录说：“我被阻止，不能进耶和华的殿里去。

⁵And Jeremiah commandeth Baruch, saying, `I am restrained, I am not able to enter the house of Jehovah;

⁶所以你要进去，趁禁食的日子，在耶和华的殿里，向众人宣读书卷上的话，就是你从我口中所录下耶和华的话。你要向从犹大各城来的人宣读。

⁶but thou hast entered — and thou hast read in the roll that thou hast written from my mouth, the words of Jehovah, in the ears of the people, in the house of Jehovah, in the day of the fast, and also in the ears of all Judah who are coming in from their cities thou dost read them;

⁷也许他们会向耶和华恳求，各人回转，离开自己的恶道，因为耶和华向这人民所说要发的怒气和烈怒是很大的。”

⁷if so be their supplication doth fall before Jehovah, and they turn back each from his evil way, for great [is] the anger and the fury that Jehovah hath spoken concerning this people.`

⁸尼利亚的儿子巴录就照着耶利米先知吩咐的一切去行，在耶和华的殿里宣读书上耶和华的话。

⁸And Baruch son of Neriah doth according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, to read in the book the words of Jehovah in the house of Jehovah.

⁹犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬第五年九月，耶路撒冷的众民，和所有从犹大各城来到耶路撒冷的人民，都在耶和华面前宣告禁食。

⁹And it cometh to pass, in the fifth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth month, proclaimed a fast before Jehovah have all the people in Jerusalem, and all the people who are coming in from cities of Judah to Jerusalem;

¹⁰巴录就在耶和华的殿里，向众民宣读书上耶利米的话。那时他是在沙番的儿子书记基玛利雅的房间里，这房间是在上院，靠近耶和华殿里新门的入口。

¹⁰and Baruch readeth in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of Jehovah, in the chamber of Gemariah son of Shaphan the scribe, in the higher court, at the opening of the new gate of the house of Jehovah, in the ears of all the people.

¹¹沙番的孙子基玛利雅的儿子米该亚，听见了书上耶和华的一切话，

¹¹And Michaiah son of Gemariah, son of Shaphan, heareth all the words of Jehovah from off the book,

¹²就下到王宫，进入书记的房间里；所有领袖都在那里坐着，他们是书记以利沙玛、示玛雅的儿子第莱雅、亚革波的儿子以利拿单、沙番的儿子基玛利雅、哈拿尼雅的儿子西底家和所有其余的领袖。

¹²and he goeth down [to] the house of the king, unto the chamber of the scribe, and lo, there are all the heads sitting: Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan son of Acbor, and Gemariah son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the heads.

¹³米该亚就把所听见的一切都告诉他们，就是巴录向众人宣读那书的时候，他所听见的。

¹³And declare to them doth Micaiah all the words that he hath heard, when Baruch readeth in the book in the ears of the people;

¹⁴于是所有的领袖差派古示的曾孙、示利米雅的孙子、尼探雅的儿子犹底，去见巴录，说：“请你把向众人宣读的那书卷亲自拿来。”尼利亚的儿子巴录就把书卷亲自带到他们那里。

¹⁴and all the heads send unto Baruch, Jehudi son of Nethaniah, son of Shelemiah, son of Cushi, saying, `The roll in which thou hast read in the ears of the people take in thy hand, and come.` And Baruch son of Neriah taketh the roll in his hand and cometh in unto them,

¹⁵他们对他说：“请坐下，念给我们听。”巴录就向他们宣读。

¹⁵and they say unto him, `Sit down, we pray thee, and read it in our ears,` and Baruch readeth in their ears,

¹⁶他们听见这一切话，就惊惧起来，面面相觑，对巴录说：“我们必须把这一切话禀告王。”

¹⁶and it cometh to pass, when they hear all the words, they have been afraid one at another, and say unto Baruch, `We do surely declare to the king all these words.`

¹⁷他们向巴录说：“请告诉我们，你怎样写下这一切话，是耶利米亲口说的吗？”

¹⁷And they asked Baruch, saying, `Declare, we pray thee, to us, how didst thou write all these words — from his mouth?`

¹⁸巴录对他们说：“这一切话是他亲口向我讲述的，我就用墨写在书上。”

¹⁸And Baruch saith to them, `From his mouth, he pronounceth unto me all these words, and I am writing on the book with ink.`

¹⁹众领袖对巴录说：“你和耶利米都要去躲藏起来；不要给人知道你们在什么地方。”

¹⁹And the heads say unto Baruch, `Go, be hidden, thou and Jeremiah, and let no one know where ye [are].`

²⁰王焚烧书卷众领袖把书卷存在书记以利沙玛的房间里，然后进内院去见王，把这一切话都禀告给王听。

²⁰And they go in unto the king, to the court, and the roll they have laid up in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and they declare in the ears of the king all the words.

²¹于是王差派犹底去把书卷拿来；犹底就从书记以利沙玛的房间里把书卷取来，向王和所有侍立在王左右的领袖宣读。

²¹And the king sendeth Jehudi to take the roll, and he taketh it out of the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and Jehudi readeth it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the heads who are standing by the king;

²²那时正是九月，王坐在冬宫里，在他面前有一盆炭火烧着。

²²and the king is sitting in the winter-house, in the ninth month, and the stove before him is burning,

²³每逢犹底宣读完三四段，王就用书记的小刀把书割破，丢进盆中的火里，直到全卷都在盆中的火里烧尽了。

²³and it cometh to pass, when Jehudi readeth three or four leaves, he cutteth it out with the scribe`s knife, and hath cast unto the fire, that [is] on the stove, till the consumption of all the roll by the fire that [is] on the stove.

²⁴王和他所有听见这一切话的臣仆，都不惊惧，也不撕裂衣服。

²⁴And the king and all his servants who are hearing all these words have not been afraid, nor rent their garments.

²⁵虽然以利拿单、第莱雅和基玛利雅恳求王不要烧这书卷，王却不听他们，

²⁵And also Elnathan, and Delaiah, and Gemariah have interceded with the king not to burn the roll, and he hath not hearkened unto them.

²⁶更吩咐王子耶拉篾、亚次列的儿子西莱雅和亚伯叠的儿子示利米雅，去捉拿文士巴录和耶利米先知；但耶和华把他们隐藏起来。

²⁶And the king commandeth Jerahmeel son of Hammelek, and Seraiah son of Azriel, and Shelemiah son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Jehovah doth hide them.

²⁷预言焚烧书卷者必遭重灾王烧了那载有巴录从耶利米口中录下的话的书卷以后，耶和华的话又临到耶利米，说：

²⁷And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah — after the king`s burning the roll, even the words that Baruch hath written from the mouth of Jeremiah — saying:

²⁸“你再取一书卷来，把犹大王约雅敬烧掉的前一书卷里原来的一切话，都写在书卷上面。

²⁸`Turn, take to thee another roll, and write on it all the former words that were on the first roll, that Jehoiakim king of Judah burnt,

²⁹论到犹大王约雅敬你要说：‘耶和华这样说：你烧了那书卷，说：你为什么在上面写着说：巴比伦王一定来，毁灭这地，使地上的人畜都灭绝呢？

²⁹and unto Jehoiakim king of Judah thou dost say: Thus said Jehovah, Thou hast burnt this roll, saying, Wherefore hast thou written on it, saying, The king of Babylon surely cometh in, and hath destroyed this land, and caused to cease from it man and beast?

³⁰因此，耶和华论到犹大王约雅敬这样说：他的后代必没有人坐在大卫的王位上；他的尸体必拋弃在外，日间受炎热，夜间受寒霜。

³⁰`Therefore, thus said Jehovah, concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: He hath none sitting on the throne of David, and his carcase is cast out to heat by day, and to cold by night;

³¹我必惩罚他和他的后裔，以及他臣仆的罪孽；我必使我对他们预告过的一切灾祸，临到他们和耶路撒冷的居民，以及犹大人的身上；他们却不听从。’”

³¹and I have charged on him, and on his seed, and on his servants, their iniquity; and I have brought in on them, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto the men of Judah, all the evil that I have spoken unto them, and they hearkened not.`

³²命巴录重写书卷于是耶利米取了另一卷书卷，交给尼利亚的儿子文士巴录；巴录就从耶利米的口中，把犹大王约雅敬在火中烧掉的那书上的一切话，都写在书卷上，还加上很多类似的话。

³²And Jeremiah hath taken another roll, and giveth it unto Baruch son of Neriah the scribe, and he writeth on it from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book that Jehoiakim king of Judah hath burnt in the fire; and again there were added unto them many words like these.
