¹And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that this word came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

¹A stalo sa v štvrtom roku Jehojakima, syna Joziášovho, judského kráľa, že stalo sa toto slovo od Hospodina k Jeremiášovi povediac:

²Take thee a roll of a book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spake unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day.

²Vezmi si svitok knihy a napíšeš doň všetky slová, ktoré som ti hovoril proti Izraelovi a Júdovi a proti všetkým národom odo dňa, ktorého som ti hovoril po prvé, odo dní Joziášových, až do tohoto dňa,

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

³ak by snáď počuli, dom Júdov, všetko to zlé, ktoré im mienim učiniť, aby sa navrátili každý od svojej zlej cesty, a odpustil by som ich neprávosť a ich hriech.

⁴Then 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 unto him, upon a roll of a book.

⁴Vtedy zavolal Jeremiáš Bárucha, syna Neriášovho, a Báruch napísal, z úst Jeremiášových, všetky slová Hospodinove, ktoré mu hovoril, do svitku knihy.

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

⁵Potom prikázal Jeremiáš Báruchovi povediac: Ja som zatvorený, nemôžem vojsť do domu Hospodinovho.

⁶Therefore go thou, and read in the roll, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of the LORD in the ears of the people in the LORD's house upon the fasting day: and also thou shalt read them in the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities.

⁶Preto pojdeš ty a budeš čítať zo svitku knihy to, čo si napísal z mojich úst, slová Hospodinove, v uši ľudu, v dome Hospodinovom, v deň pôstu, i v uši všetkého Júdu, všetkým, ktorí prijdú zo svojich miest, ich budeš čítať.

⁷It 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 hath pronounced against this people.

⁷Ak by snáď padla ich pokorná prosba pred Hospodina, a navrátili by sa každý so svojej zlej cesty, lebo je to veľký hnev a veľká prchlivosť, čo hovoril Hospodin proti tomuto ľudu.

⁸And 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.

⁸A Báruch, syn Neriášov, urobil všetko tak, ako mu prikázal prorok Jeremiáš, a čítal z knihy slová Hospodinove v dome Hospodinovom.

⁹And 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 unto Jerusalem.

⁹A stalo sa v piatom roku Jehojakima, syna Joziášovho, judského kráľa, v deviatom mesiaci, že vyhlásili pôst pred Hospodinom, všetok ľud v Jeruzaleme i všetok ľud, tí, ktorí boli prišli z miest Júdových do Jeruzalema.

¹⁰Then 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.

¹⁰A Báruch čítal z knihy slová Jeremiášove v dome Hospodinovom, v chyži Gemariáša, syna Šafánovho, pisára, v hornom dvore, pri vchode novej brány domu Hospodinovho v uši všetkého ľudu.

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

¹¹A keď počul Michaiáš, syn Gemariáša, syna Šafánovho, všetky slová Hospodinove z knihy,

¹²Then he went down into the king's house, into the scribe's chamber: and, lo, 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.

¹²sišiel do domu kráľovho, do chyže pisára, a hľa, sedely tam všetky kniežatá: Elišama, pisár, a Delaiáš, syn Šemaiášov, a Elnatán, syn Achborov, a Gemariáš, syn Šatánov, a Cedekiáš, syn Chananiášov, a všetky kniežatá.

¹³Then Michaiah declared unto them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people.

¹³A Michaiáš im oznámil všetky slová, ktoré počul, keď čítal Báruch z knihy v uši ľudu.

¹⁴Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, unto Baruch, saying, Take in thine hand the roll wherein thou hast read in the ears of the people, and come. So Baruch the son of Neriah took the roll in his hand, and came unto them.

¹⁴Preto poslaly všetky kniežatá k Báruchovi Jehúdiho, syna Netaniáša, syna Šelemiáša, syna Kúšiho, a riekly: Svitok knihy, z ktorého si čítal v uši ľudu, vezmi ho do svojej ruky a poď! A tak vzal Báruch, syn Neriášov, svitok knihy do svojej ruky a prišiel k nim.

¹⁵And they said unto him, Sit down now, and read it in our ears. So Baruch read it in their ears.

¹⁵A ony mu riekly: Nože si sadni a čítaj to pred nami! A Báruch čítal v ich uši.

¹⁶Now it came to pass, when they had heard all the words, they were afraid both one and other, and said unto Baruch, We will surely tell the king of all these words.

¹⁶A stalo sa, keď počuly všetky tie slová, že sa predesily a hľadiac druh na druha riekly Báruchovi: Istotne oznámime kráľovi všetky tieto slová.

¹⁷And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How didst thou write all these words at his mouth?

¹⁷Potom sa opýtaly Bárucha a riekly: Nože nám oznám, ako si napísal všetky tieto slová z jeho úst?

¹⁸Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced all these words unto me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.

¹⁸A Báruch im odpovedal: Zo svojich úst mi vravel všetky tieto slová, a ja som písal do knihy černidlom.

¹⁹Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go, hide thee, thou and Jeremiah; and let no man know where ye be.

¹⁹Vtedy riekly kniežatá Báruchovi: Idi, skry sa i ty i Jeremiáš, a nech nevie nikto, kde ste.

²⁰And 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.

²⁰Potom vošly ku kráľovi do dvora a svitok knihy nechaly opatrovať v chyži Elišamu, pisára, a oznámily kráľovi všetky tie slová.

²¹So 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.

²¹A kráľ poslal Jehúdiho, aby vzal svitok, a vzal ho z chyže pisára Elišamu. A Jehúdi ho čítal pred kráľom a pred všetkými kniežatami, ktoré stály pred kráľom.

²²Now the king sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month: and there was a fire on the hearth burning before him.

²²A kráľ sedel v zimnom dome v deviatom mesiaci majúc pred sebou ohnište, na ktorom horelo.

²³And 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.

²³A stalo sa, jako prečítal Jehúdi nejaké tri stĺpce alebo štyri, že to kráľ odrezal nožom pisára a hodil na oheň, ktorý bol na ohništi, a to tak až zhorel celý svitok na ohni, ktorý bol na ohništi.

²⁴Yet they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants that heard all these words.

²⁴A nepredesili sa ani neroztrhli svojich rúch ani kráľ ani niktorý z jeho služobníkov, ktorí počuli všetky tie slová.

²⁵Nevertheless Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the roll: but he would not hear them.

²⁵Ba ani keď Elnatán, Delaiáš a Gemariáš naliehavo prosili kráľa, žeby nepálil svitku knihy, neposlúchol ich.

²⁶But 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.

²⁶Ale kráľ rozkázal Jerachmeelovi, synovi kráľovmu, a Seraiášovi, synovi Azrielovmu, a Šelemiášovi, synovi Abdielovmu, zajať pisára Bárucha i proroka Jeremiáša. Ale Hospodin ich skryl.

²⁷Then 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,

²⁷Vtedy stalo sa slovo Hospodinovo k Jeremiášovi, keď už bol kráľ spálil svitok knihy a slová, ktoré bol napísal Báruch z úst Jeremiášových, povediac:

²⁸Take thee again another roll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath burned.

²⁸Vezmi si zase iný svitok knihy a napíš naň všetky prvé slová, ktoré boly na tamtom prvom svitku, ktorý spálil Jehojakim, judský kráľ.

²⁹And thou shalt say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, Thus saith the LORD; Thou hast burned this roll, saying, Why hast thou written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from thence man and beast?

²⁹A o Jehojakimovi, judskom kráľovi, povieš: Takto hovorí Hospodin: Ty si spálil tento svitok knihy a povedal si: Prečo si napísal naň, že vraj istotne prijde babylonský kráľ a zkazí túto zem a vyhladí z nej človeka i hovädo.

³⁰Therefore thus saith the LORD of Jehoiakim king of Judah; He shall have none 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.

³⁰Preto takto hovorí Hospodin o Jehojakimovi, judskom kráľovi: Nebude mať toho, kto by sedel na tróne Dávidovom, a jeho mŕtve telo bude povrhnuté horúčave vodne a mrazu vnoci.

³¹And I will punish him and his seed and his servants for their iniquity; and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them; but they hearkened not.

³¹A navštívim na ňom i na jeho semene i na jeho služobníkoch ich neprávosť a uvediem na nich i na obyvateľov Jeruzalema i na mužov Júdových všetko to zlé, ktoré som hovoril proti nim, a nepočuli.

³²Then 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 unto them many like words.

³²A tak vzal Jeremiáš iný svitok a dal ho Báruchovi, synovi Neriášovmu, pisárovi, a napísal naň z úst Jeremiášových všetky slová knihy, ktorú spálil Jehojakim, judský kráľ, na ohni, a bolo pridané k nim ešte mnoho podobných slov.
