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,

¹Bilo pa je v četrtem letu Jojakima, sinu Josijevega, kralja na Judovem, ko pride ta beseda Jeremiju od GOSPODA, rekoč:

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.

²Vzemi si zvitek knjige in zapiši vanj vse besede, ki sem ti jih govoril o Izraelu in o Judi in o vseh narodih od dne, ko sem te ogovoril, od dni Josijevih do tega dne.

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.

³Morda bo hiša Judova slišala vse tisto hudo, katero jim jaz mislim storiti, in se povrnejo vsak s hudobnega pota svojega, da jim odpustim njih krivico in njih greh.

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.

⁴Zato je Jeremija poklical Baruha, sinu Nerijevega; in zapisal je Baruh iz ust Jeremijevih vse besede GOSPODOVE, ki mu jih je govoril, v zvitek knjige.

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

⁵Nato zapove Jeremija Baruhu, rekoč: Jaz sem zadržan, ne morem iti v hišo GOSPODOVO;

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.

⁶zato pojdi ti in beri v tem zvitku, kar si zapisal iz mojih ust, besede GOSPODOVE, da sliši ljudstvo v hiši GOSPODOVI v postni dan; in beri, da slišijo tudi vsi Judovi, ki so prišli iz svojih mest.

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.

⁷Morda popadajo na tla in prosijo pred GOSPODOM in se povrnejo vsak s hudobnega pota svojega; kajti velika je jeza in togota, ki jo je izrekel GOSPOD zoper to ljudstvo.

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.

⁸In Baruh, Nerijev sin, je storil, prav kakor mu je bil zapovedal prorok Jeremija, in je bral v tisti knjigi besede GOSPODOVE v hiši GOSPODOVI.

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.

⁹In zgodi se v petem letu Jojakima, sinu Josijevega, kralja na Judovem, deveti mesec, da je bil post pred GOSPODOM napovedan vsemu ljudstvu v Jeruzalemu in vsemu ljudstvu, ki je prišlo iz mest Judovih v Jeruzalem.

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.

¹⁰In Baruh je bral v knjigi besede Jeremijeve v hiši GOSPODOVI, v hramu Gemarija, sinu Safana pisarja, na gorenjem dvorišču pri vhodu novih vrat hiše GOSPODOVE, da je slišalo vse ljudstvo.

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

¹¹Ko je pa slišal Mihaj, sin Gemarija, sinu Safanovega, vse besede GOSPODOVE iz tiste knjige,

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.

¹²je šel doli v hišo kraljevo, v hram pisarjev, kjer so, glej, sedeli vsi knezi: Elisama pisar in Delaja, sin Semajev, in Elnatan, sin Akborjev, Gemarija, sin Safanov, in Zedekija, sin Hananijev, in vsi knezi.

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

¹³In povedal jim je Mihaj vse besede, ki jih je slišal, ko je Baruh bral v knjigi, da je ljudstvo poslušalo.

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.

¹⁴Tedaj so poslali vsi knezi k Baruhu Jehudija, sinu Netanija, sinu Selemija, sinu Kusijevega, da naj reče: Tisti zvitek, v katerem si bral, da je poslušalo ljudstvo, tega vzemi v roko svojo in pridi. Vzame torej Baruh, Nerijev sin, tisti zvitek v roko svojo in pride k njim.

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

¹⁵Pa mu reko: Sedi zdaj in beri tisto, mi bomo pa poslušali; in Baruh je bral, oni so pa poslušali.

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.

¹⁶In ko so slišali vse tiste besede, so prestrašeni gledali drug drugega in rekli Baruhu: Gotovo bomo kralju povedali vse te besede.

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

¹⁷Baruha pa so vprašali, rekoč: Povej nam vendar, kako si zapisal vse te besede iz ust njegovih?

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

¹⁸Baruh pa jim reče: Iz svojih ust mi je govoril vse te besede, in jaz sem pisal v knjigo s črnilom.

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

¹⁹Tedaj reko knezi Baruhu: Pojdi, skrij se ti in Jeremija, in nihče ne vedi, kje sta.

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.

²⁰In šli so h kralju v dvorec, ko so bili tisti zvitek položili v hram Elisama pisarja; in povedali so, da je slišal kralj, vse tiste besede.

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.

²¹Pošlje torej kralj Jehudija, da prinese tisti zvitek. In vzame ga iz hrama Elisama pisarja. In bere ga Jehudija, da je slišal kralj in so slišali vsi knezi, ki so stali poleg kralja.

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

²²Kralj pa je sedel v zimski hiši deveti mesec, in gorelo je na ognjišču pred njim.

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.

²³In ko je bil prebral Jehudija tri liste ali štiri, je kralj prerezal zvitek s pisarskim nožem in ga vrgel v ogenj, ki je bil na ognjišču, da je bil ves zvitek pokončan z ognjem na ognjišču.

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

²⁴Niso se pa zbali in niso pretrgali obleke svoje kralj in vsi hlapci njegovi, ki so slišali vse tiste besede.

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.

²⁵In dasi so Elnatan in Delaja in Gemarija prosili kralja, naj ne zažiga zvitka, jih vendar ni poslušal.

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.

²⁶In zapovedal je kralj Jerahmielu, sinu kraljevemu, in Seraju, sinu Azrielovemu, in Selemiju, sinu Abdeelovemu, da naj primejo Baruha pisarja in Jeremija proroka; ali skril ju je GOSPOD.

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,

²⁷Prišla je pa beseda GOSPODOVA Jeremiju (ko je bil kralj sežgal tisti zvitek in besede, ki jih je bil Baruh zapisal iz ust Jeremijevih), govoreč:

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.

²⁸Zopet si vzemi drug zvitek in zapiši vanj vse poprejšnje besede, ki so bile v onem prejšnjem zvitku, ki ga je sežgal Jojakim, kralj Judov.

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?

²⁹O Jojakimu pa, kralju Judovem, reci: Tako pravi GOSPOD: Ti si sežgal oni zvitek, rekoč: Zakaj si pisal v njem: Gotovo pride kralj babilonski in pogubi deželo to in stori, da izginejo iz nje ljudje in živina?

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.

³⁰Zatorej pravi tako GOSPOD o Jojakimu, kralju Judovem: Ne bo ga imel, da bi sedel na prestolu Davidovem, in truplo njegovo bo vrženo v vročino po dnevi in v mraz po noči.

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.

³¹Kajti kaznoval ga bom in seme njegovo in hlapce njegove za njih krivico; in pripeljem zoper nje in zoper prebivalce jeruzalemske in zoper može Judove vso tisto nesrečo, ki sem jo jim oznanjal, pa me niso poslušali.Torej vzame Jeremija drug zvitek in ga da Baruhu, sinu Nerijevemu, pisarju. In on je zapisal vanj iz ust Jeremijevih vse besede knjige, ki jo je bil sežgal Jojakim, kralj Judov, v ognju; in še so jim bile pridejane mnoge take besede.

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.

³²Torej vzame Jeremija drug zvitek in ga da Baruhu, sinu Nerijevemu, pisarju. In on je zapisal vanj iz ust Jeremijevih vse besede knjige, ki jo je bil sežgal Jojakim, kralj Judov, v ognju; in še so jim bile pridejane mnoge take besede.
