Jeremiah 36

وَكَانَ فِي السَّنَةِ الرَّابِعَةِ لِيَهُويَاقِيمَ بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، أَنَّ هذِهِ الْكَلِمَةَ صَارَتْ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا مِنْ قِبَلِ الرَّبِّ قَائِلَةً:

And 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,

«خُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ دَرْجَ سِفْرٍ، وَاكْتُبْ فِيهِ كُلَّ الْكَلاَمِ الَّذِي كَلَّمْتُكَ بِهِ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ وَعَلَى يَهُوذَا وَعَلَى كُلِّ الشُّعُوبِ، مِنَ الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي كَلَّمْتُكَ فِيهِ، مِنْ أَيَّامِ يُوشِيَّا إِلَى هذَا الْيَوْمِ.

Take 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.

لَعَلَّ بَيْتَ يَهُوذَا يَسْمَعُونَ كُلَّ الشَّرِّ الَّذِي أَنَا مُفَكِّرٌ أَنْ أَصْنَعَهُ بِهِمْ، فَيَرْجِعُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ طَرِيقِهِ الرَّدِيءِ، فَأَغْفِرَ ذَنْبَهُمْ وَخَطِيَّتَهُمْ».

It 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.

فَدَعَا إِرْمِيَا بَارُوخَ بْنَ نِيرِيَّا، فَكَتَبَ بَارُوخُ عَنْ فَمِ إِرْمِيَا كُلَّ كَلاَمِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي كَلَّمَهُ بِهِ فِي دَرْجِ السِّفْرِ.

Then 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.

وَأَوْصَى إِرْمِيَا بَارُوخَ قَائِلاً: «أَنَا مَحْبُوسٌ لاَ أَقْدِرُ أَنْ أَدْخُلَ بَيْتَ الرَّبِّ.

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

فَادْخُلْ أَنْتَ وَاقْرَأْ فِي الدَّرْجِ الَّذِي كَتَبْتَ عَنْ فَمِي كُلَّ كَلاَمِ الرَّبِّ فِي آذَانِ الشَّعْبِ، فِي بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ فِي يَوْمِ الصَّوْمِ، وَاقْرَأْهُ أَيْضًا فِي آذَانِ كُلِّ يَهُوذَا الْقَادِمِينَ مِنْ مُدُنِهِمْ.

Therefore 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.

لَعَلَّ تَضَرُّعَهُمْ يَقَعُ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، فَيَرْجِعُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ طَرِيقِهِ الرَّدِيءِ، لأَنَّهُ عَظِيمٌ الْغَضَبُ وَالْغَيْظُ اللَّذَانِ تَكَلَّمَ بِهِمَا الرَّبُّ عَلَى هذَا الشَّعْبِ».

It 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.

فَفَعَلَ بَارُوخُ بْنُ نِيرِيَّا حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَوْصَاهُ بِهِ إِرْمِيَا النَّبِيُّ، بِقِرَاءَتِهِ فِي السِّفْرِ كَلاَمَ الرَّبِّ فِي بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ.

And 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.

وَكَانَ فِي السَّنَةِ الْخَامِسَةِ لِيَهُويَاقِيمَ بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، فِي الشَّهْرِ التَّاسِعِ، أَنَّهُمْ نَادَوْا لِصَوْمٍ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، كُلَّ الشَّعْبِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَكُلَّ الشَّعْبِ الْقَادِمِينَ مِنْ مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ.

And 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.

فَقَرَأَ بَارُوخُ فِي السِّفْرِ كَلاَمَ إِرْمِيَا فِي بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ فِي مِخْدَعِ جَمَرْيَا بْنِ شَافَانَ الْكَاتِبِ، فِي الدَّارِ الْعُلْيَا، فِي مَدْخَلِ بَابِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ الْجَدِيدِ، فِي آذَانِ كُلِّ الشَّعْبِ.

Then 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.

فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ مِيخَايَا بْنُ جَمَرْيَا بْنِ شَافَانَ كُلَّ كَلاَمِ الرَّبِّ مِنَ السِّفْرِ،

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

نَزَلَ إِلَى بَيْتِ الْمَلِكِ، إِلَى مِخْدَعِ الْكَاتِبِ، وَإِذَا كُلُّ الرُّؤَسَاءِ جُلُوسٌ هُنَاكَ: أَلِيشَامَاعُ الْكَاتِبُ، وَدَلاَيَا بْنُ شِمْعِيَا، وَأَلْنَاثَانُ بْنُ عَكْبُورَ، وَجَمَرْيَا بْنُ شَافَانَ، وَصِدْقِيَّا بْنُ حَنَنِيَّا، وَكُلُّ الرُّؤَسَاءِ.

Then 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.

فَأَخْبَرَهُمْ مِيخَايَا بِكُلِّ الْكَلاَمِ الَّذِي سَمِعَهُ عِنْدَمَا قَرَأَ بَارُوخُ السِّفْرَ فِي آذَانِ الشَّعْبِ.

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

فَأَرْسَلَ كُلُّ الرُّؤَسَاءِ إِلَى بَارُوخَ يَهُودِيَ بْنَ نَثَنْيَا بْنِ شَلَمْيَا بْنِ كُوشِي قَائِلِينَ: «الدَّرْجُ الَّذِي قَرَأْتَ فِيهِ فِي آذَانِ الشَّعْبِ، خُذْهُ بِيَدِكَ وَتَعَالَ». فَأَخَذَ بَارُوخُ بْنُ نِيرِيَّا الدَّرْجَ بِيَدِهِ وَأَتَى إِلَيْهِمْ.

Therefore 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.

فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «اجْلِسْ وَاقْرَأْهُ فِي آذَانِنَا». فَقَرَأَ بَارُوخُ فِي آذَانِهِمْ.

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

فَكَانَ لَمَّا سَمِعُوا كُلَّ الْكَلاَمِ أَنَّهُمْ خَافُوا نَاظِرِينَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ، وَقَالُوا لِبَارُوخَ: «إِخْبَارًا نُخْبِرُ الْمَلِكَ بِكُلِّ هذَا الْكَلاَمِ».

Now 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.

ثُمَّ سَأَلُوا بَارُوخَ قَائِلِينَ: «أَخْبِرْنَا كَيْفَ كَتَبْتَ كُلَّ هذَا الْكَلاَمِ عَنْ فَمِهِ؟»

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

فَقَالَ لَهُمْ بَارُوخُ: «بِفَمِهِ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ لِي كُلَّ هذَا الْكَلاَمِ، وَأَنَا كُنْتُ أَكْتُبُ فِي السِّفْرِ بِالْحِبْرِ».

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

فَقَالَ الرُّؤَسَاءُ لِبَارُوخَ: «اذْهَبْ وَاخْتَبِئْ أَنْتَ وَإِرْمِيَا وَلاَ يَعْلَمُ إِنْسَانٌ أَيْنَ أَنْتُمَا».

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

ثُمَّ دَخَلُوا إِلَى الْمَلِكِ إِلَى الدَّارِ، وَأَوْدَعُوا الدَّرْجَ فِي مِخْدَعِ أَلِيشَامَاعَ الْكَاتِبِ، وَأَخْبَرُوا فِي أُذُنَيِ الْمَلِكِ بِكُلِّ الْكَلاَمِ.

And 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.

فَأَرْسَلَ الْمَلِكُ يَهُودِيَ لِيَأْخُذَ الدَّرْجَ، فَأَخَذَهُ مِنْ مِخْدَعِ أَلِيشَامَاعَ الْكَاتِبِ، وَقَرَأَهُ يَهُودِيَ فِي أُذُنَيِ الْمَلِكِ، وَفِي آذَانِ كُلِّ الرُّؤَسَاءِ الْوَاقِفِينَ لَدَى الْمَلِكِ.

So 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.

وَكَانَ الْمَلِكُ جَالِسًا فِي بَيْتِ الشِّتَاءِ فِي الشَّهْرِ التَّاسِعِ، وَالْكَانُونُ قُدَّامَهُ مُتَّقِدٌ.

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

وَكَانَ لَمَّا قَرَأَ يَهُودِيُ ثَلاَثَةَ شُطُورٍ أَوْ أَرْبَعَةً أَنَّهُ شَقَّهُ بِمِبْرَاةِ الْكَاتِبِ، وَأَلْقَاهُ إِلَى النَّارِ الَّتِي فِي الْكَانُونِ، حَتَّى فَنِيَ كُلُّ الدَّرْجِ فِي النَّارِ الَّتِي فِي الْكَانُونِ.

And 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.

وَلَمْ يَخَفِ الْمَلِكُ وَلاَ كُلُّ عَبِيدِهِ السَّامِعِينَ كُلَّ هذَا الْكَلاَمِ، وَلاَ شَقَّقُوا ثِيَابَهُمْ.

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

وَلكِنَّ أَلْنَاثَانَ وَدَلاَيَا وَجَمَرْيَا تَرَجَّوْا الْمَلِكَ أَنْ لاَ يُحْرِقَ الدَّرْجَ فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ لَهُمْ.

Nevertheless Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the roll: but he would not hear them.

بَلْ أَمَرَ الْمَلِكُ يَرْحَمْئِيلَ ابْنَ الْمَلِكِ، وَسَرَايَا بْنَ عَزَرْئِيلَ، وَشَلَمْيَا بْنَ عَبْدِئِيلَ، أَنْ يَقْبِضُوا عَلَى بَارُوخَ الْكَاتِبِ وَإِرْمِيَا النَّبِيِّ، وَلكِنَّ الرَّبَّ خَبَّأَهُمَا.

But 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.

ثُمَّ صَارَتْ كَلِمَةُ الرَّبِّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا بَعْدَ إِحْرَاقِ الْمَلِكِ الدَّرْجَ وَالْكَلاَمَ الَّذِي كَتَبَهُ بَارُوخُ عَنْ فَمِ إِرْمِيَا قَائِلَةً:

Then 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,

«عُدْ فَخُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ دَرْجًا آخَرَ، وَاكْتُبْ فِيهِ كُلَّ الْكَلاَمِ الأَوَّلِ الَّذِي كَانَ فِي الدَّرْجِ الأَوَّلِ الَّذِي أَحْرَقَهُ يَهُويَاقِيمُ مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا،

Take 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.

وَقُلْ لِيَهُويَاقِيمَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا: هكَذَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ: أَنْتَ قَدْ أَحْرَقْتَ ذلِكَ الدَّرْجَ قَائِلاً: لِمَاذَا كَتَبْتَ فِيهِ قَائِلاً: مَجِيئًا يَجِيءُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ وَيُهْلِكُ هذِهِ الأَرْضَ، وَيُلاَشِي مِنْهَا الإِنْسَانَ وَالْحَيَوَانَ؟

And 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?

لِذلِكَ هكَذَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ عَنْ يَهُويَاقِيمَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا: لاَ يَكُونُ لَهُ جَالِسٌ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ دَاوُدَ، وَتَكُونُ جُثَّتُهُ مَطْرُوحَةً لِلْحَرِّ نَهَارًا، وَلِلْبَرْدِ لَيْلاً.

Therefore 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.

وَأُعَاقِبُهُ وَنَسْلَهُ وَعَبِيدَهُ عَلَى إِثْمِهِمْ، وَأَجْلِبُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَعَلَى سُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَعَلَى رِجَالِ يَهُوذَا كُلَّ الشَّرِّ الَّذِي كَلَّمْتُهُمْ عَنْهُ وَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا».

And 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.

فَأَخَذَ إِرْمِيَا دَرْجًا آخَرَ وَدَفَعَهُ لِبَارُوخَ بْنِ نِيرِيَّا الْكَاتِبِ، فَكَتَبَ فِيهِ عَنْ فَمِ إِرْمِيَا كُلَّ كَلاَمِ السِّفْرِ الَّذِي أَحْرَقَهُ يَهُويَاقِيمُ مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا بِالنَّارِ، وَزِيدَ عَلَيْهِ أَيْضًا كَلاَمٌ كَثِيرٌ مِثْلُهُ.

Then 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.
