1 καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ τῷ τετάρτῳ Ιωακιμ υἱοῦ Ιωσια βασιλέως Ιουδα ἐγενήθη λόγος κυρίου πρός με λέγων 2 λαβὲ σεαυτῷ χαρτίον βιβλίου καὶ γράψον ἐ{P'} αὐτοῦ πάντας τοὺς λόγους οὓς ἐχρημάτισα πρὸς σὲ ἐπὶ Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ἐπὶ Ιουδαν καὶ ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ἀ{F'} ἧς ἡμέρας λαλήσαντός μου πρός σε ἀ{F'} ἡμερῶν Ιωσια βασιλέως Ιουδα καὶ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης 3 ἴσως ἀκούσεται ὁ οἶκος Ιουδα πάντα τὰ κακά ἃ ἐγὼ λογίζομαι ποιῆσαι αὐτοῖς ἵνα ἀποστρέψωσιν ἀπὸ ὁδοῦ αὐτῶν τῆς πονηρᾶς καὶ ἵλεως ἔσομαι ταῖς ἀδικίαις αὐτῶν καὶ ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις αὐτῶν | 1 In the fourth year of Josias’ son Joachim, the Lord gave Jeremias this command ment: 2 Get thyself a scroll, and write down on it all the warnings I have uttered against Israel and Juda, and against the other nations of the world, ever since I first spoke to thee under king Josias. 3 Maybe, when the men of Juda hear of all the mischief I mean to do them, they will leave off their straying in false paths, and so I will overlook the guilt of their wrong-doing. | 1 Et factum est in anno quarto Joakim filii Josiæ regis Juda, factum est verbum hoc ad Jeremiam a Domino, dicens: 2 Tolle volumen libri, et scribes in eo omnia verba quæ locutus sum tibi adversum Israël et Judam, et adversum omnes gentes, a die qua locutus sum ad te ex diebus Josiæ usque ad diem hanc: 3 si forte, audiente domo Juda universa mala quæ ego cogito facere eis, revertatur unusquisque a via sua pessima, et propitius ero iniquitati et peccato eorum. |
4 καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Ιερεμιας τὸν Βαρουχ υἱὸν Νηριου καὶ ἔγραψεν ἀπὸ στόματος Ιερεμιου πάντας τοὺς λόγους κυρίου οὓς ἐχρημάτισεν πρὸς αὐτόν εἰς χαρτίον βιβλίου 5 καὶ ἐνετείλατο Ιερεμιας τῷ Βαρουχ λέγων ἐγὼ φυλάσσομαι οὐ μὴ δύνωμαι εἰσελθεῖν εἰς οἶκον κυρίου 6 καὶ ἀναγνώσῃ ἐν τῷ χαρτίῳ τούτῳ εἰς τὰ ὦτα τοῦ λαοῦ ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου ἐν ἡμέρᾳ νηστείας καὶ ἐν ὠσὶ παντὸς Ιουδα τῶν ἐρχομένων ἐκ πόλεως αὐτῶν ἀναγνώσῃ αὐτοῖς 7 ἴσως πεσεῖται ἔλεος αὐτῶν κατὰ πρόσωπον κυρίου καὶ ἀποστρέψουσιν ἐκ τῆς ὁδοῦ αὐτῶν τῆς πονηρᾶς ὅτι μέγας ὁ θυμὸς καὶ ἡ ὀργὴ κυρίου ἣν ἐλάλησεν ἐπὶ τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον 8 καὶ ἐποίησεν Βαρουχ κατὰ πάντα ἃ ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ Ιερεμιας τοῦ ἀναγνῶναι ἐν τῷ βιβλίῳ λόγους κυρίου ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου 9 καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ ὀγδόῳ βασιλεῖ Ιωακιμ τῷ μηνὶ τῷ ἐνάτῳ ἐξεκκλησίασαν νηστείαν κατὰ πρόσωπον κυρίου πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἐν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ οἶκος Ιουδα 10 καὶ ἀνεγίνωσκε Βαρουχ ἐν τῷ βιβλίῳ τοὺς λόγους Ιερεμιου ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου ἐν οἴκῳ Γαμαριου υἱοῦ Σαφαν τοῦ γραμματέως ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ τῇ ἐπάνω ἐν προθύροις πύλης τοῦ οἴκου κυρίου τῆς καινῆς ἐν ὠσὶ παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ 11 καὶ ἤκουσεν Μιχαιας υἱὸς Γαμαριου υἱοῦ Σαφαν ἅπαντας τοὺς λόγους κυρίου ἐκ τοῦ βιβλίου 12 καὶ κατέβη εἰς οἶκον τοῦ βασιλέως εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ γραμματέως καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐκεῖ πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες ἐκάθηντο Ελισαμα ὁ γραμματεὺς καὶ Δαλαιας υἱὸς Σελεμιου καὶ Ελναθαν υἱὸς Ακχοβωρ καὶ Γαμαριας υἱὸς Σαφαν καὶ Σεδεκιας υἱὸς Ανανιου καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες 13 καὶ ἀνήγγειλεν αὐτοῖς Μιχαιας πάντας τοὺς λόγους οὓς ἤκουσεν ἀναγινώσκοντος τοῦ Βαρουχ εἰς τὰ ὦτα τοῦ λαοῦ 14 καὶ ἀπέστειλαν πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες πρὸς Βαρουχ υἱὸν Νηριου τὸν Ιουδιν υἱὸν Ναθανιου υἱοῦ Σελεμιου υἱοῦ Χουσι λέγοντες τὸ χαρτίον ἐν ᾧ σὺ ἀναγινώσκεις ἐν αὐτῷ ἐν ὠσὶ τοῦ λαοῦ λαβὲ αὐτὸ εἰς τὴν χεῖρά σου καὶ ἧκε καὶ ἔλαβεν Βαρουχ τὸ χαρτίον καὶ κατέβη πρὸς αὐτούς 15 καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ πάλιν ἀνάγνωθι εἰς τὰ ὦτα ἡμῶν καὶ ἀνέγνω Βαρουχ 16 καὶ ἐγενήθη ὡς ἤκουσαν πάντας τοὺς λόγους συνεβουλεύσαντο ἕκαστος πρὸς τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπαν ἀναγγέλλοντες ἀναγγείλωμεν τῷ βασιλεῖ ἅπαντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους 17 καὶ τὸν Βαρουχ ἠρώτησαν λέγοντες πόθεν ἔγραψας πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους 18 καὶ εἶπεν Βαρουχ ἀπὸ στόματος αὐτοῦ ἀνήγγειλέν μοι Ιερεμιας πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους καὶ ἔγραφον ἐν βιβλίῳ 19 καὶ εἶπαν τῷ Βαρουχ βάδισον κατακρύβηθι σὺ καὶ Ιερεμιας ἄνθρωπος μὴ γνώτω ποῦ ὑμεῖς | 4 So Jeremias sent for Baruch the son of Nerias; the Lord’s utterances, every one, Jeremias rehearsed and Baruch wrote down on the scroll. 5 And now Jeremias had an errand for him; I must keep my house, said he, go into the Lord’s temple I may not.[1] 6 Do thou, on a fasting day, go there instead, and read out some of the divine utterances I have dictated to thee, in the temple itself, for all the citizens to hear, and all the men of Juda besides, that have come in from their several townships. 7 Maybe their intercession will find its way into the Lord’s presence; maybe they will leave off their straying in false paths; here are grievous threats from the Lord of angry vengeance against his people. 8 So it was Baruch son of Nerias, but in fulfilment of Jeremias’ command, that took the scroll and read out, there in the Lord’s house, the Lord’s message. 9 It was the ninth month, in the fifth year of Josias’ son Joachim, when they proclaimed a fast, that was to be kept in the Lord’s presence by all the citizens and all who had come in from the other towns of Juda. 10 And there in the Lord’s house, from the apartment of Gamarias, whose father, Saphan, had once been secretary, in the upper court, close by the entry of the new temple gate, Baruch read out Jeremias’ book of warning. 11 No line he read of the divine utterance but had an eager listener in Gamarias’ son Michaeas, 12 who thereupon went down to the secretary’s room, where he found all the notables assembled. There was the secretary, Elisama; there were Dalaias son of Semeias, and Elnathan son of Achobor, and Gamarias son of Saphan, and Sedecias son of Hananias, and all the notables in general. 13 To these Michaeas repeated all he had heard Baruch read out from the scroll in public; 14 and Judi, son of Nathanias, son of Selemias, son of Cushi, was sent on an errand to Baruch in the name of all present. Come thither he must, and bring the scroll he had read thus publicly with him. So it was Baruch, son of Nerias, that came before them, and the scroll with him; 15 they bade him be seated, and read it aloud to them, so read it he did. 16 When all the reading was over, they looked each at other in amazement, and told Baruch all this must be brought to the king’s ears. 17 Then they asked, How comes it that these are the words of Jeremias, and yet of thy writing? 18 Why, said he, Jeremias gave them out, as if he were reading them aloud, and I sat by with paper and ink to write them down. 19 Go into hiding, they told him, thou and Jeremias with thee, and be sure none knows where to find you. | 4 Vocavit ergo Jeremias Baruch filium Neriæ: et scripsit Baruch ex ore Jeremiæ omnes sermones Domini quos locutus est ad eum, in volumine libri: 5 et præcepit Jeremias Baruch, dicens: Ego clausus sum, nec valeo ingredi domum Domini. 6 Ingredere ergo tu, et lege de volumine in quo scripsisti ex ore meo verba Domini, audiente populo in domo Domini, in die jejunii: insuper et audiente universo Juda qui veniunt de civitatibus suis, leges eis, 7 si forte cadat oratio eorum in conspectu Domini, et revertatur unusquisque a via sua pessima: quoniam magnus furor et indignatio est quam locutus est Dominus adversus populum hunc. 8 Et fecit Baruch filius Neriæ juxta omnia quæ præceperat ei Jeremias propheta, legens ex volumine sermones Domini in domo Domini. 9 Factum est autem in anno quinto Joakim filii Josiæ regis Juda, in mense nono: prædicaverunt jejunium in conspectu Domini omni populo in Jerusalem, et universæ multitudini quæ confluxerat de civitatibus Juda in Jerusalem. 10 Legitque Baruch ex volumine sermones Jeremiæ in domo Domini, in gazophylacio Gamariæ filii Saphan scribæ, in vestibulo superiori, in introitu portæ novæ domus Domini, audiente omni populo. 11 Cumque audisset Michæas filius Gamariæ filii Saphan omnes sermones Domini ex libro, 12 descendit in domum regis, ad gazophylacium scribæ, et ecce ibi omnes principes sedebant: Elisama scriba, et Dalaias filius Semeiæ, et Elnathan filius Achobor, et Gamarias filius Saphan, et Sedecias filius Hananiæ, et universi principes: 13 et nuntiavit eis Michæas omnia verba quæ audivit, legente Baruch ex volumine in auribus populi. 14 Miserunt itaque omnes principes ad Baruch Judi filium Nathaniæ filii Selemiæ filii Chusi, dicentes: Volumen ex quo legisti, audiente populo, sume in manu tua, et veni. Tulit ergo Baruch filius Neriæ volumen in manu sua, et venit ad eos: 15 et dixerunt ad eum: Sede, et lege hæc in auribus nostris. Et legit Baruch in auribus eorum. 16 Igitur cum audissent omnia verba, obstupuerunt unusquisque ad proximum suum, et dixerunt ad Baruch: Nuntiare debemus regi omnes sermones istos. 17 Et interrogaverunt eum, dicentes: Indica nobis quomodo scripsisti omnes sermones istos ex ore ejus. 18 Dixit autem eis Baruch: Ex ore suo loquebatur quasi legens ad me omnes sermones istos, et ego scribebam in volumine atramento. 19 Et dixerunt principes ad Baruch: Vade, et abscondere, tu et Jeremias, et nemo sciat ubi sitis. |
20 καὶ εἰσῆλθον πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα εἰς τὴν αὐλήν καὶ τὸ χαρτίον ἔδωκαν φυλάσσειν ἐν οἴκῳ Ελισαμα καὶ ἀνήγγειλαν τῷ βασιλεῖ πάντας τοὺς λόγους 21 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸν Ιουδιν λαβεῖν τὸ χαρτίον καὶ ἔλαβεν αὐτὸ ἐξ οἴκου Ελισαμα καὶ ἀνέγνω Ιουδιν εἰς τὰ ὦτα τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ εἰς τὰ ὦτα πάντων τῶν ἀρχόντων τῶν ἑστηκότων περὶ τὸν βασιλέα 22 καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐκάθητο ἐν οἴκῳ χειμερινῷ καὶ ἐσχάρα πυρὸς κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ 23 καὶ ἐγενήθη ἀναγινώσκοντος Ιουδιν τρεῖς σελίδας καὶ τέσσαρας ἀπέτεμνεν αὐτὰς τῷ ξυρῷ τοῦ γραμματέως καὶ ἔρριπτεν εἰς τὸ πῦρ τὸ ἐπὶ τῆς ἐσχάρας ἕως ἐξέλιπεν πᾶς ὁ χάρτης εἰς τὸ πῦρ τὸ ἐπὶ τῆς ἐσχάρας 24 καὶ οὐκ ἐζήτησαν καὶ οὐ διέρρηξαν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ οἱ ἀκούοντες πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους 25 καὶ Ελναθαν καὶ Γοδολιας καὶ Γαμαριας ὑπέθεντο τῷ βασιλεῖ πρὸς τὸ μὴ κατακαῦσαι τὸ χαρτίον 26 καὶ ἐνετείλατο ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Ιερεμεηλ υἱῷ τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τῷ Σαραια υἱῷ Εσριηλ συλλαβεῖν τὸν Βαρουχ καὶ τὸν Ιερεμιαν καὶ κατεκρύβησαν | 20 Then they made their way into the palace court to find the king, leaving the book there in the secretary’s room. When they had brought their news to his hearing, 21 the king would have Judi fetch the book itself from Elisama’s room; which he did, and read it out for the king to hear, and all the courtiers that stood about him. 22 Since it was the ninth month, Joachim was in his winter parlour, and a brazier of coals in front of him; 23 and when Judi had read but three columns or four, he took his pen-knife and began cutting the scroll into pieces, which he threw on to the brazier until the whole book had perished in the flames. 24 King and courtiers listened to all these warnings, yet feared they never, nor rent their clothes; 25 and although Elnathan, Dalaias and Gamarias would have prevented Joachim from burning the scroll, he would not listen to them. 26 Jeremiel son of Amalech,[2] Saraias son of Ezriel, and Selemias son of Abdeel were bidden to attach the persons of the scribe Baruch and the prophet Jeremias; but the Lord kept them in safe hiding. | 20 Et ingressi sunt ad regem in atrium: porro volumen commendaverunt in gazophylacio Elisamæ scribæ, et nuntiaverunt, audiente rege, omnes sermones. 21 Misitque rex Judi ut sumeret volumen: qui tollens illud de gazophylacio Elisamæ scribæ, legit, audiente rege et universis principibus qui stabant circa regem. 22 Rex autem sedebat in domo hiemali, in mense nono, et posita erat arula coram eo plena prunis. 23 Cumque legisset Judi tres pagellas vel quatuor, scidit illud scalpello scribæ, et projecit in ignem qui erat super arulam, donec consumeretur omne volumen igni qui erat in arula. 24 Et non timuerunt, neque sciderunt vestimenta sua, rex et omnes servi ejus qui audierunt universos sermones istos. 25 Verumtamen Elnathan, et Dalaias, et Gamarias, contradixerunt regi, ne combureret librum: et non audivit eos. 26 Et præcepit rex Jeremiel filio Amelech, et Saraiæ filio Ezriel, et Selemiæ filio Abdeel, ut comprehenderent Baruch scribam, et Jeremiam prophetam: abscondit autem eos Dominus. |
27 καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρὸς Ιερεμιαν μετὰ τὸ κατακαῦσαι τὸν βασιλέα τὸ χαρτίον πάντας τοὺς λόγους οὓς ἔγραψεν Βαρουχ ἀπὸ στόματος Ιερεμιου λέγων 28 πάλιν λαβὲ σὺ χαρτίον ἕτερον καὶ γράψον πάντας τοὺς λόγους τοὺς ὄντας ἐπὶ τοῦ χαρτίου οὓς κατέκαυσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ιωακιμ 29 καὶ ἐρεῖς οὕτως εἶπεν κύριος σὺ κατέκαυσας τὸ χαρτίον τοῦτο λέγων διὰ τί ἔγραψας ἐ{P'} αὐτῷ λέγων εἰσπορευόμενος εἰσπορεύσεται ὁ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος καὶ ἐξολεθρεύσει τὴν γῆν ταύτην καὶ ἐκλείψει ἀ{P'} αὐτῆς ἄνθρωπος καὶ κτήνη 30 διὰ τοῦτο οὕτως εἶπεν κύριος ἐπὶ Ιωακιμ βασιλέα Ιουδα οὐκ ἔσται αὐτῷ καθήμενος ἐπὶ θρόνου Δαυιδ καὶ τὸ θνησιμαῖον αὐτοῦ ἔσται ἐρριμμένον ἐν τῷ καύματι τῆς ἡμέρας καὶ ἐν τῷ παγετῷ τῆς νυκτός 31 καὶ ἐπισκέψομαι ἐ{P'} αὐτὸν καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ γένος αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπάξω ἐ{P'} αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ἐπὶ γῆν Ιουδα πάντα τὰ κακά ἃ ἐλάλησα πρὸς αὐτοὺς καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσαν | 27 And this was the Lord’s word to the prophet Jeremias, when the king burnt the scroll, and with it all the utterances he had dictated to Baruch: 28 Get thee another scroll, and write down on it whatever was contained in the one king Joachim burnt. 29 And to king Joachim give this message from the Lord: Burn book and chide prophet, if thou wilt, for warning thee that the king of Babylon will come back with all speed, and lay this country waste, leaving neither man nor beast to dwell in it. 30 But this is the Lord’s doom against king Joachim of Juda: No son of his shall follow him on the throne of David; his body shall be cast away in the open, to bear the day’s heat and the night frost. 31 With guilt of his, with guilt of household and court of his, I will reckon in full; all my unheeded threats against Jerusalem and Juda shall be made good. | 27 Et factum est verbum Domini ad Jeremiam prophetam, postquam combusserat rex volumen et sermones quos scripserat Baruch ex ore Jeremiæ, dicens: 28 Rursum tolle volumen aliud, et scribe in eo omnes sermones priores qui erant in primo volumine, quod combussit Joakim rex Juda. 29 Et ad Joakim regem Juda dices: Hæc dicit Dominus: Tu combussisti volumen illud, dicens: Quare scripsisti in eo annuntians: Festinus veniet rex Babylonis, et vastabit terram hanc, et cessare faciet ex illa hominem et jumentum? 30 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus contra Joakim regem Juda: Non erit ex eo qui sedeat super solium David: et cadaver ejus projicietur ad æstum per diem, et ad gelu per noctem. 31 Et visitabo contra eum, et contra semen ejus, et contra servos ejus, iniquitates suas: et adducam super eos, et super habitatores Jerusalem, et super viros Juda, omne malum quod locutus sum ad eos, et non audierunt. |
32 καὶ ἔλαβεν Βαρουχ χαρτίον ἕτερον καὶ ἔγραψεν ἐ{P'} αὐτῷ ἀπὸ στόματος Ιερεμιου ἅπαντας τοὺς λόγους τοῦ βιβλίου οὗ κατέκαυσεν Ιωακιμ καὶ ἔτι προσετέθησαν αὐτῷ λόγοι πλείονες ὡς οὗτοι | 32 So Jeremias must get Baruch another scroll to write on, and all the contents of the book Joachim burnt must be dictated anew; much more was added besides to enlarge it. | 32 Jeremias autem tulit volumen aliud, et dedit illud Baruch filio Neriæ scribæ: qui scripsit in eo ex ore Jeremiæ omnes sermones libri quem combusserat Joakim rex Juda igni: et insuper additi sunt sermones multo plures quam antea fuerant. |
