¹It happened in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, that this word came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,

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

²Take a scroll of a book, and write therein 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.

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 to 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 Yahweh, which he had spoken to him, on a scroll of a book.

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

⁵Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I can’t go into the house of Yahweh:

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

⁶therefore you go, and read in the scroll, which you have written from my mouth, the words of Yahweh in the ears of the people in Yahweh’s house on the fast day; and also you shall read them in the ears of all Judah who 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 Yahweh, and will return everyone from his evil way; for great is the anger and the wrath that Yahweh has 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.

⁸Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words of Yahweh in Yahweh’s house.

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

⁹Now it happened in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, that all the people in Jerusalem, and all the people who came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem, proclaimed a fast before Yahweh.

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 Yahweh, in the room of Gemariah the son of Shaphan, the scribe, in the upper court, at the entry of the new gate of Yahweh’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 Micaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all the words of Yahweh,

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

¹²he went down into the king’s house, into the scribe’s room: 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.

¹³Then Micaiah declared to 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, to Baruch, saying, Take in your hand the scroll in which you have read in the ears of the people, and come. So Baruch the son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand, and came to 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.

¹⁵They said to 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 happened, when they had heard all the words, they turned in fear one toward another, and said to 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.

¹⁷They asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How did you 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 to 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 the princes said to Baruch, Go, hide, you and Jeremiah; and let no man know where you are.

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

²⁰They went in to the king into the court; but they had laid up the scroll in the room 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.

²¹So the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll; and he took it out of the room of Elishama the scribe. Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes who 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 there was a fire in the brazier burning before him.

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

²³It happened, when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, that the king cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was in the brazier, until all the scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier.

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.

²⁴They were not afraid, nor tore their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants who 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 scroll; but he would not hear them.

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

²⁶The king commanded Jerahmeel the king’s son, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; but Yahweh 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 Yahweh came to Jeremiah, after that the king had burned the scroll, 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 again another scroll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first scroll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah has burned.

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

²⁹Concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah you shall say, Thus says Yahweh: You have burned this scroll, saying, Why have you written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from there man and animal?

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 says Yahweh concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: He shall have none to sit on 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.

³¹I will punish him and his seed and his servants for their iniquity; and I will bring on them, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and on the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them, but they didn’t listen.

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 scroll, 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 to 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.
