Ginbasa ni Baruc ang Mensahi sang Dios

36 Sang ikaapat nga tuig sang paghari ni Jehoyakim nga anak ni Josia sa Juda, nagsiling ang Ginoo kay Jeremias, “Magkuha ka sang linukot nga sululatan[a] kag isulat ang tanan nga ginsiling ko sa imo parte sa Israel, Juda kag sa tanan nga nasyon. Isulat ang tanan nga ginsiling ko halin sang nahauna nga tion nga nagpakighambal ako sa imo, sang si Josia pa ang hari sang Juda, hasta subong. Basi pa lang magbiya sa ila malaot nga pagginawi ang katawhan sang Juda kon mabatian nila ang mga kalaglagan nga ginplano ko nga himuon kontra sa ila. Kon matabo ini, patawaron ko sila sa ila mga kalautan kag mga sala.”

Gani ginpatawag ni Jeremias si Baruc nga anak ni Neria kag gindikta sa iya ang tanan nga ginsiling sang Ginoo, kag ginsulat ini ni Baruc sa linukot nga sululatan. Nagsiling dayon si Jeremias kay Baruc, “Ginadilian ako sa pagkadto sa templo sang Ginoo. Gani ikaw na lang ang magkadto sa templo sa adlaw sang pagpuasa. Magatipon didto ang katawhan sang Juda halin sa ila mga banwa. Basahon mo sa ila ang mensahi sang Ginoo sa sini nga kasulatan nga ginsulat mo samtang ginadikta ko sa imo. Basi pa lang paagi sini magdangop sila sa Ginoo, kag magbiya na sila sa ila malaot nga pagginawi. Kay ginpaandaman na sila sang Ginoo nga silutan sila sa iya puwerte nga kaakig.”

Gani ginbasa ni Baruc ang mensahi sang Ginoo didto sa templo subong sang ginsugo sa iya ni Jeremias. Natabo ini sang adlaw sang pagpuasa sa presensya sang Ginoo, sadtong ikasiyam nga bulan sang ikalima nga tuig sang paghari ni Jehoyakim nga anak ni Josia sa Juda. Nagtipon didto sa templo ang mga pumuluyo sang Jerusalem kag sang mga banwa sang Juda. 10 Ginbasa ni Baruc sa mga tawo ang mensahi ni Jeremias nga nasulat sa linukot nga kasulatan. Ginhimo ini ni Baruc didto sa templo, sa may kuwarto ni Gemaria nga sekretaryo nga anak ni Shafan. Ining kuwarto ni Gemaria ara sa ibabaw nga lagwerta sang templo, malapit sa alagyan sang Bag-o nga Puwertahan.

11 Sang mabatian ni Micaya nga anak ni Gemaria kag apo ni Shafan ang mensahi sang Ginoo nga ginbasa ni Baruc, 12 nagkadto siya sa palasyo, didto sa kuwarto sang sekretaryo nga sa diin nagatipon ang tanan nga opisyal. Ato didto si Elishama nga sekretaryo, si Delaya nga anak ni Shemaya, si Elnatan nga anak ni Acbor, si Gemaria nga anak ni Shafan, si Zedekia nga anak ni Hanania, kag ang iban pa nga mga opisyal. 13 Ginsugid sa ila ni Micaya ang tanan nga iya nabatian nga ginbasa ni Baruc sa mga tawo. 14 Dayon ginsugo sang mga opisyal si Jehudi nga anak ni Netania kag apo ni Shelemia kag apo sa tuhod ni Cushi sa pagkadto kay Baruc kag sa pagsiling, “Dal-a ang kasulatan nga imo ginbasa sa katawhan kag magkadto ka diri sa amon.” Gani nagkadto didto si Baruc dala ang kasulatan.

15 Pag-abot ni Baruc, nagsiling ang mga opisyal sa iya, “Pungko kag basaha sa amon ang linukot nga kasulatan.” Gani ginbasa ato ni Baruc sa ila. 16 Pagkabati nila sini tanan nagtinulukay sila sa kahadlok kag nagsiling kay Baruc, “Kinahanglan nga ibalita ta ini sa hari.” 17 Dayon ginpamangkot nila si Baruc, “Abi sugiri kami kon paano mo ini ginsulat. Gindiktahan ka bala ni Jeremias?”

18 Nagsabat si Baruc, “Huo, gindikta ini tanan sa akon ni Jeremias, kag ginsulat ko ini sa tinta sa sini nga kasulatan.” 19 Dayon nagsiling ang mga opisyal kay Baruc, “Magpanago kamo ni Jeremias kag indi kamo magsugid sa kay bisan sin-o kon diin kamo.”

20 Ginbutang sang mga opisyal ang linukot nga kasulatan didto sa kuwarto ni Elishama nga sekretaryo kag nagkadto dayon sila sa hari didto sa lagwerta sang palasyo, kag ginbalita ang tanan. 21 Ginsugo dayon sang hari si Jehudi nga kuhaon ang linukot nga kasulatan. Ginkuha ini ni Jehudi didto sa kuwarto ni Elishama kag ginbasa sa hari kag sa tanan nga opisyal nga nagatindog sa iya tupad. 22 Tigtulugnaw sadto, kag ang hari didto sa iya kuwarto nga para sa tigtulugnaw, kag nagapungko siya nga nagaatubang sa kalayo. 23 Kada makatapos basa si Jehudi sing tatlo ukon apat ka dinalan, ginautod dayon sang hari ang ato nga parte paagi sa kutsilyo kag ginahaboy sa kalayo, hasta nga naubos sunog ang bug-os nga kasulatan. 24 Wala gid mahadlok ang hari kag ang iya mga opisyal sang mabatian nila ang mensahi sang kasulatan. Wala gani nila paggisia ang ila mga bayo bilang tanda sang pagpangasubo. 25 Bisan pa nagpangabay sila ni Elnatan, Delaya, kag Gemaria sa hari nga indi pagsunugon ang kasulatan, wala gid magpamati ang hari. 26 Sa baylo, ginmanduan sang hari si Jerameel nga iya anak, si Seraya nga anak ni Azriel, kag si Shelemia nga anak ni Abdeel sa pagdakop kay Baruc nga sekretaryo kag kay Propeta Jeremias. Pero gintago sila sang Ginoo.

27 Sa tapos masunog sang hari ang linukot nga kasulatan nga may mensahi nga gindikta ni Jeremias kay Baruc, nagsiling ang Ginoo kay Jeremias, 28 “Magkuha ka sang isa pa ka sululatan kag isulat liwat ang tanan nga nasulat sa nahauna nga kasulatan nga ginsunog ni Haring Jehoyakim sang Juda. 29 Silinga dayon ang hari nga amo ini ang akon ginasiling, ‘Ginsunog mo ang linukot nga kasulatan kay nagasiling didto nga laglagon gid sang hari sang Babilonia ang ini nga duta kag pamatyon ang mga tawo kag mga kasapatan. 30 Gani amo ini ang akon ginasiling parte sa imo, Haring Jehoyakim sang Juda: Wala ka sing kaliwat nga maghari sa ginharian ni David. Patyon ka, kag ang imo bangkay ihaboy lang nga mainitan kon adlaw kag matun-ugan kon gab-i. 31 Silutan ko ikaw kag ang imo mga anak, pati ang imo mga opisyal tungod sa inyo kalautan. Ipaagom ko sa inyo kag sa katawhan sang Jerusalem kag Juda ang tanan nga kalaglagan nga akon ginsiling kontra sa inyo tungod kay wala kamo magpamati sa akon.’ ”

32 Gani nagkuha si Jeremias sang isa pa ka sululatan kag ginhatag ini kay Baruc, kag ginsulat ni Baruc ang tanan nga gindikta sa iya ni Jeremias, subong sang ginhimo nila sa nahauna nga kasulatan nga ginsunog ni Haring Jehoyakim sang Juda. Pero madamo pa sang gindugang si Jeremias nga mensahi nga pulopareho sa una nga ginsulat.

Jehoiakim Burns Jeremiah’s Scroll

36 In the fourth year of Jehoiakim(A) son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord: “Take a scroll(B) and write on it all the words(C) I have spoken to you concerning Israel, Judah and all the other nations from the time I began speaking to you in the reign of Josiah(D) till now. Perhaps(E) when the people of Judah hear(F) about every disaster I plan to inflict on them, they will each turn(G) from their wicked ways; then I will forgive(H) their wickedness and their sin.”

So Jeremiah called Baruch(I) son of Neriah,(J) and while Jeremiah dictated(K) all the words the Lord had spoken to him, Baruch wrote them on the scroll.(L) Then Jeremiah told Baruch, “I am restricted; I am not allowed to go to the Lord’s temple. So you go to the house of the Lord on a day of fasting(M) and read to the people from the scroll the words of the Lord that you wrote as I dictated.(N) Read them to all the people of Judah(O) who come in from their towns. Perhaps they will bring their petition(P) before the Lord and will each turn(Q) from their wicked ways, for the anger(R) and wrath pronounced against this people by the Lord are great.”

Baruch son of Neriah did everything Jeremiah the prophet told him to do; at the Lord’s temple he read the words of the Lord from the scroll. In the ninth month(S) of the fifth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, a time of fasting(T) before the Lord was proclaimed for all the people in Jerusalem and those who had come from the towns of Judah. 10 From the room of Gemariah(U) son of Shaphan(V) the secretary,(W) which was in the upper courtyard at the entrance of the New Gate(X) of the temple, Baruch read to all the people at the Lord’s temple the words of Jeremiah from the scroll.

11 When Micaiah son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, heard all the words of the Lord from the scroll, 12 he went down to the secretary’s(Y) room in the royal palace, where all the officials were sitting: Elishama the secretary, Delaiah son of Shemaiah, Elnathan(Z) son of Akbor, Gemariah son of Shaphan, Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the other officials.(AA) 13 After Micaiah told them everything he had heard Baruch read to the people from the scroll, 14 all the officials sent Jehudi(AB) son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to say to Baruch, “Bring the scroll(AC) from which you have read to the people and come.” So Baruch son of Neriah went to them with the scroll in his hand. 15 They said to him, “Sit down, please, and read it to us.”

So Baruch read it to them. 16 When they heard all these words, they looked at each other in fear(AD) and said to Baruch, “We must report all these words to the king.” 17 Then they asked Baruch, “Tell us, how did you come to write(AE) all this? Did Jeremiah dictate it?”

18 “Yes,” Baruch replied, “he dictated(AF) all these words to me, and I wrote them in ink on the scroll.”

19 Then the officials(AG) said to Baruch, “You and Jeremiah, go and hide.(AH) Don’t let anyone know where you are.”

20 After they put the scroll in the room of Elishama the secretary, they went to the king in the courtyard and reported everything to him. 21 The king sent Jehudi(AI) to get the scroll, and Jehudi brought it from the room of Elishama the secretary and read it to the king(AJ) and all the officials standing beside him. 22 It was the ninth month and the king was sitting in the winter apartment,(AK) with a fire burning in the firepot in front of him. 23 Whenever Jehudi had read three or four columns of the scroll,(AL) the king cut them off with a scribe’s knife and threw them into the firepot, until the entire scroll was burned in the fire.(AM) 24 The king and all his attendants who heard all these words showed no fear,(AN) nor did they tear their clothes.(AO) 25 Even though Elnathan, Delaiah(AP) and Gemariah(AQ) urged the king not to burn the scroll, he would not listen to them. 26 Instead, the king commanded Jerahmeel, a son of the king, Seraiah son of Azriel and Shelemiah son of Abdeel to arrest(AR) Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet. But the Lord had hidden(AS) them.

27 After the king burned the scroll containing the words that Baruch had written at Jeremiah’s dictation,(AT) the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 28 “Take another scroll(AU) and write on it all the words that were on the first scroll, which Jehoiakim king of Judah burned up. 29 Also tell Jehoiakim king of Judah, ‘This is what the Lord says: You burned that scroll and said, “Why did you write on it that the king of Babylon would certainly come and destroy this land and wipe from it(AV) both man and beast?”(AW) 30 Therefore this is what the Lord says about Jehoiakim(AX) king of Judah: He will have no one to sit on the throne of David; his body will be thrown out(AY) and exposed(AZ) to the heat by day and the frost by night.(BA) 31 I will punish him and his children(BB) and his attendants for their wickedness; I will bring on them and those living in Jerusalem and the people of Judah every disaster(BC) I pronounced against them, because they have not listened.(BD)’”

32 So Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to the scribe Baruch son of Neriah, and as Jeremiah dictated,(BE) Baruch wrote(BF) on it all the words of the scroll that Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned(BG) in the fire. And many similar words were added to them.

36 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,

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

10 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.

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

12 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.

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

14 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.

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

16 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.

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

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

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

20 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.

21 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.

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

23 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.

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

25 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.

26 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.

27 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,

28 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.

29 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?

30 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.

31 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.

32 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.
