¹And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, [that] this word came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, 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 spoke 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 the house of Judah will hear all the evil that I purpose to do unto them, that they may return every man from his evil way, and 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.

⁴And Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Nerijah; and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of Jehovah, 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 Jehovah; but go thou in,

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

⁶and read in the roll, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of Jehovah in the ears of the people in the house of Jehovah upon the fast day; and thou shalt also read them in the ears of all Judah that come from 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 Jehovah, and that they will return every one from his evil way; for great is the anger and the fury that Jehovah 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 Nerijah did according to all that the prophet Jeremiah commanded him, reading in the book the words of Jehovah in Jehovah'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, the king of Judah, in the ninth month, [that] they proclaimed a fast before Jehovah, for all the people in Jerusalem, and for all the people that came from the cities of Judah to 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.

¹⁰And Baruch read in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of Jehovah, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the upper court, at the entry of the new gate of the house of Jehovah, 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.

¹¹And Micah the son of Gemariah the son of Shaphan heard out of the book all the words of Jehovah;

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

¹²and he went down to the king's house, into the scribe's chamber, and behold, all the princes were sitting there: 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.

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

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

¹⁴And all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, unto Baruch, saying, Take in thy hand the roll in which thou hast read in the ears of the people, and come. And Baruch the son of Nerijah 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. And Baruch read [it] in their ears.

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

¹⁶And it came to pass, when they heard all the words, they turned in fear one toward another, and said unto Baruch, We will certainly report to the king 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 from his mouth?

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

¹⁸And Baruch said unto 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.

¹⁹And the princes said unto Baruch, Go, hide thee, thou and Jeremiah; that none may know where ye are.

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

²⁰And they went in unto the king into the court, but they laid up the roll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe; and they 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.

²¹And the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll, and he fetched it out of the chamber of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes that 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 was sitting in the winter-house in the ninth month, and with the fire-pan 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 columns, he cut it with the scribe's knife, and cast it into the fire that was in the pan until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was in the pan.

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.

²⁴And 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.

²⁵Moreover, 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.

²⁶And 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 Jehovah 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.

²⁷And after that the king had burned the roll, and the words that Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, the word of Jehovah came to 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 Jehovah: 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 it 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 Jehovah concerning 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 visit their iniquity upon him, and upon his seed, and upon his servants; 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; and they have not hearkened.

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.

³²And Jeremiah took another roll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Nerijah; and he wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah, all the words of the book that 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.
