耶36:1 犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬第四年，耶和华那里有这话临到耶利米，说：
耶36:1 Now it came about in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, that this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
耶36:2 “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。
耶36:2 Take a book and put down in it all the words I have said to you against Israel and against Judah and against all the nations, from the day when my word came to you in the days of Josiah till this day.
耶36:3 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。”
耶36:3 It may be that the people of Judah, hearing of all the evil which it is my purpose to do to them, will be turned, every man from his evil ways; so that they may have my forgiveness for their evil-doing and their sin.
耶36:4 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。
耶36:4 Then Jeremiah sent for Baruch, the son of Neriah; and Baruch took down from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the Lord which he had said to him, writing them in a book.
耶36:5 耶利米吩咐巴录说：“我被阻止，不能进耶和华的殿里去。
耶36:5 And Jeremiah gave orders to Baruch, saying, I am shut up, and am not able to go into the house of the Lord:
耶36:6 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。
耶36:6 So you are to go, reading there from the book, which you have taken down from my mouth, the words of the Lord, in the hearing of the people in the Lord's house, on a day when they go without food, and in the hearing of all the men of Judah who have come out from their towns.
耶36:7 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。”
耶36:7 It may be that their prayer for grace will go up to the Lord, and that every man will be turned from his evil ways: for great is the wrath and the passion made clear by the Lord against this people.
耶36:8 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。
耶36:8 And Baruch, the son of Neriah, did as Jeremiah the prophet gave him orders to do, reading from the book the words of the Lord in the Lord's house.
耶36:9 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。
耶36:9 Now it came about in the fifth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, that it was given out publicly that all the people in Jerusalem, and all the people who came from the towns of Judah to Jerusalem, were to keep from food before the Lord.
耶36:10 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。
耶36:10 Then Baruch gave a public reading of the words of Jeremiah from the book, in the house of the Lord, in the room of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the higher square, as one goes in by the new doorway of the Lord's house, in the hearing of all the people.
耶36:11 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，
耶36:11 And Micaiah, the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, after hearing all the words of the Lord from the book,
耶36:12 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。
耶36:12 Went down to the king's house, to the scribe's room: and all the rulers were seated 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 rulers.
耶36:13 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。
耶36:13 Then Micaiah gave them an account of all the words which had come to his ears when Baruch was reading the book to the people.
耶36:14 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。
耶36:14 So all the rulers sent Jehudi, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, Take in your hand the book from which you have been reading to the people and come. So Baruch, the son of Neriah, took the book in his hand and came down to them.
耶36:15 他们对他说：“请坐下，念给我们听。”巴录就向他们宣读。
耶36:15 Then they said to him, Be seated now, and give us a reading from it. So Baruch did so, reading it to them.
耶36:16 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。”
耶36:16 Now it came about that, after hearing all the words, they said to one another in fear, We will certainly give the king an account of all these words.
耶36:17 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？”
耶36:17 And questioning Baruch, they said, Say now, how did you put all these words down in writing from his mouth?
耶36:18 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。”
耶36:18 Then Baruch, answering, said, He said all these things to me by word of mouth, and I put them down with ink in the book.
耶36:19 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。”
耶36:19 Then the rulers said to Baruch, Go and put yourself in a safe place, you and Jeremiah, and let no man have knowledge of where you are.
耶36:20 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。
耶36:20 Then they went into the open square to the king; but the book they put away in the room of Elishama the scribe; and they gave the king an account of all the words.
耶36:21 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。
耶36:21 So the king sent Jehudi to get the book, and he took it from the room of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi gave a reading of it in the hearing of the king and all the rulers who were by the king's side.
耶36:22 那时正是九月，王坐在冬宫里，在他面前有一盆炭火烧着。
耶36:22 Now the king was seated in the winter house, and a fire was burning in the fireplace in front of him.
耶36:23 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。
耶36:23 And it came about that whenever Jehudi, in his reading, had got through three or four divisions, the king, cutting them with his penknife, put them into the fire, till all the book was burned up in the fire which was burning in the fireplace.
耶36:24 王和他所有听见这一切话的臣仆，都不惊惧，也不撕裂衣服。
耶36:24 But they had no fear and gave no signs of grief, not the king or any of his servants, after hearing all these words.
耶36:25 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，
耶36:25 And Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made a strong request to the king not to let the book be burned, but he would not give ear to them.
耶36:26 更吩咐王子耶拉篾、亚次列的儿子西莱雅和埃布尔迭的儿子示利米雅，去捉拿文士巴录和耶利米先知；但耶和华把他们隐藏起来。
耶36:26 And the king gave orders to 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 the Lord kept them safe.
耶36:27 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：
耶36:27 Then after the book, in which Baruch had put down the words of Jeremiah, had been burned by the king, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,
耶36:28 “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。
耶36:28 Take another book and put down in it all the words which were in the first book, which Jehoiakim, king of Judah, put into the fire.
耶36:29 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？
耶36:29 And about Jehoiakim, king of Judah, you are to say, This is what the Lord has said: You have put this book into the fire, saying, Why have you put in it that the king of Babylon will certainly come, causing the destruction of this land and putting an end to every man and beast in it?
耶36:30 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；他的尸体必抛弃在外，日间受炎热，夜间受寒霜。
耶36:30 For this reason the Lord has said of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, He will have no son to take his place on the seat of David: his dead body will be put out to undergo the heat of the day and the cold of the night.
耶36:31 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。’”
耶36:31 And I will send punishment on him and on his seed and on his servants for their evil-doing; I will send on them and on the people of Jerusalem and the men of Judah, all the evil which I said against them, but they did not give ear.
耶36:32 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。
耶36:32 Then Jeremiah took another book, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah, who put down in it, from the mouth of Jeremiah, all the words of the book which had been burned in the fire by Jehoiakim, king of Judah: and in addition a number of other words of the same sort.
