ThomsonAND when Jeremias had made an end of speaking all these words of the Lord to the people, even all the words which the Lord had sent him to speak to them,
BrentonIn the fourth Year of Joakim son of Josias king of Juda, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
GreekἘΝ ΤΩ ἘΝΙΑΥΤΩ ΤΩ ΤΕΤΑΡΤΩ ἸΩΑΚΕΙΜ υἱοῦ Ἰωσία βασιλέως Ἰούδα, ἐγενήθη λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μὲ, λέγων,
2
ThomsonAzarias son of Maasias, and Joanan son of Karae, and all the men who had spoken to Jeremias, said in reply, It is false; the Lord hath not sent thee to us, saying, You shall not go to Egypt to dwell there.
BrentonTake thee a roll of a book, and write upon it all the words which I spoke to thee against Jerusalem, and against Juda, and against all the nations, from the day when I spoke to thee, from the days of Josias king of Juda, even to this day.
GreekΛάβε σεαυτῷ χαρτίον βιβλίου, καὶ γράψον ἐπʼ αὐτοῦ πάντας τοὺς λόγους οὓς ἐλάλησα πρὸς σὲ ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ἐπὶ Ἰούδα, καὶ ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, ἀφʼ ἧς ἡμέρας λαλήσαντός μου πρὸς σὲ ἀφʼ ἡμερῶν Ἰωσία βασιλέως Ἰούδα, καὶ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.
3
ThomsonBut Baruch son of Nerias setteth thee on against us, that thou mayst deliver us into the hands of the Chaldeans to be put to death, or banished to Babylon.
BrentonPerhaps the house of Juda will hear all the evils which I purpose to do to them; that they may turn from their evil way; and so I will be merciful to their iniquities and their sins.
GreekἼσως ἀκούσεται ὁ οἶκος Ἰούδα πάντα τὰ κακὰ ἃ ἐγὼ λογίζομαι ποιῆσαι αὐτοῖς, ἵνα ἀποστρέψωσιν ἀπὸ τῆς ὁδοῦ αὐτῶν τῆς πονηρᾶς, καὶ ἵλεως ἔσομαι ταῖς ἀδικίαις αὐτῶν καὶ ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις αὐτῶν.
4
ThomsonSo Joanan and all the generals of the army and all the people hearkened not to the voice of the Lord to dwell in the land of Juda.
BrentonSo Jeremias called Baruch the son of Nerias: and he wrote from the mouth of Jeremias all the words of the Lord, which he had spoken to him, on a roll of a book.
GreekΚαὶ ἐκάλεσεν Ἱερεμίας τὸν Βαροὺχ υἱὸν Νηρίου· καὶ ἔγραψεν ἀπὸ στόματος Ἱερεμίου πάντας τοὺς λόγους Κυρίου, οὓς ἐλάλησε πρὸς αὐτὸν, εἰς χαρτίον βιβλίου.
5
ThomsonAnd Joanan and all the generals of the army took all the remnant of Juda, who had returned to dwell in the land;
BrentonAnd Jeremias commanded Baruch, saying, I am in prison; I cannot enter into the house of the Lord:
GreekΚαὶ ἐνετείλατο Ἱερεμίας τῷ Βαροὺχ, λέγων, ἐγὼ φυλάσσομαι, οὐ μὴ δύνωμαι εἰσελθεῖν εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου·
6
Thomsonthe men fit for war, and the women and the children which were left and the king’s daughters, even all the souls which Nabusardan had left with Godolias son of Achikam, including Jeremias the prophet, and Baruch son of Nerias, and went to Egypt.
Brentonso thou shalt read in this roll in the ears of the people in the house of the Lord, on the fast day; and in the ears of all Juda that come out of their cities, thou shalt read to them.
GreekΚαὶ ἀναγνώσῃ ἐν τῷ χαρτίῳ τούτῳ εἰς τὰ ὦτα τοῦ λαοῦ ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου, ἐν ἡμέρᾳ νηστείας, καὶ ἐν ὠσὶ παντὸς Ἰούδα τῶν ἐρχομένων ἐκ πόλεων αὐτῶν, ἀναγνώσῃ αὐτοῖς.
7
ThomsonBecause they hearkened not to the voice of the Lord, there fore when they came to Taphnas,
BrentonPeradventure their supplication will come before the Lord, and they will turn from their evil way: for great is the wrath and the anger of the Lord, which he has pronounced against this people.
GreekἼσως 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
Thomsona word of the Lord came to Jeremias at Taphnas, saying,
BrentonAnd Baruch did according to all that Jeremias commanded him—reading in the book the words of the Lord in the Lord's house.
GreekΚαὶ ἐποίησε Βαροὺχ κατὰ πάντα ἃ ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ Ἱερεμίας, τοῦ ἀναγνῶναι ἐν τῷ βιβλίῳ τοὺς λόγους Κυρίου ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου.
9
ThomsonTake thee large stones and bury them at the entrance of the gate of Pharao’s house at Taphnas, in the presence of the men of Juda and
BrentonAnd it came to pass in the eighth year of king Joakim, in the ninth month, all the people in Jerusalem, and the house of Juda, proclaimed a fast before the Lord.
GreekΚαὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ ὀγδόῳ τῷ βασιλεῖ Ἰωακεὶμ ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ ἐννάτῳ, ἐξεκκλησίασαν νηστείαν κατὰ πρόσωπον Κυρίου πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ οἴκος Ἰούδα.
10
Thomsonthou shalt say, Thus said the Lord, Behold I send and I will bring Nabuchodonosar king of Babylon and he shall place his throne over these stones, which thou hast hidden, and pile his arms over them.
BrentonAnd Baruch read in the book the words of Jeremias in the house of the Lord, in the house of Gamarias son of Saphan the scribe, in the upper court, in the entrance of the new gate of the house of the Lord, and in the ears of all the people.
GreekΚαὶ ἀνεγίνωσκε Βαροὺχ ἐν τῷ βιβλίῳ τοὺς λόγους Ἱερεμίου ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου, ἐν οἴκῳ Γαμαρίου υἱοῦ Σαφὰν τοῦ γραμματέως, ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ τῇ ἐπάνω ἐν προθύροις πύλης τοῦ οἴκου Κυρίου τῆς καινῆς, καὶ ἐν ὠσὶ παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ.
11
ThomsonAnd when he is come he will smite the land of Egypt, sentencing to death them who are for death; and to banishment such as are for banishment; and to the sword such as are for the sword.
BrentonAnd Michæas the son of Gamarias the son of Saphan heard all the words of the Lord, out of the book.
GreekΚαὶ ἤκουσε Μιχαίας υἱὸς Γαμαρίου υἱοῦ Σαφὰν ἅπαντας τοὺς λόγους Κυρίου, ἐκ τοῦ βιβλίου·
12
ThomsonAnd he will kindle a fire in the houses of their gods, and burn the houses and carry away the god’s captives: and he will search the land of Egypt, as a shepherd doth his garment, and shall go thence in peace.
BrentonAnd he went down to the king's house, into the house of the scribe: and, behold, there were sitting there all the princes, Elisama the scribe, and Dalæas the son of Selemias, and Jonathan the son of Acchobor, and Gamarias the son of Saphan, and Sedekias the son of Ananias, and all the princes.
GreekΚαὶ κατέβη εἰς οἰκίαν τοῦ βασιλέως, εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ γραμματέως, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐκεῖ πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες ἐκάθηντο, Ἐλισαμὰ ὁ γραμματεὺς, καὶ Δαλαίας υἱὸς Σελεμίου, καὶ Ἰωνάθαν υἱὸς Ἀκχοβὼρ, καὶ Γαμαρίας υἱὸς Σαφὰν, καὶ Σεδεκίας υἱὸς Ἀνανίου, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες·
13
ThomsonAnd he will break in pieces the pillars of Heliopolis, even those of On, and burn their houses with fire.
BrentonAnd Michæas reported to them all the words which he had heard Baruch reading in the ears of the people.
GreekΚαὶ ἀνήγγειλεν αὐτοῖς Μιχαίας πάντας τοὺς λόγους οὓς ἤκουσεν ἀναγινώσκοντος Βαροὺχ εἰς τὰ ὦτα τοῦ λαοῦ.
14
Thomson—
BrentonAnd all the princes sent to Baruch son of Nerias Judin the son of Nathanias, the son of Selemias, the son of Chusi, saying, Take in thine hand the roll in which thou readest in the ears of the people, and come. So Baruch took the roll, and went down to them.
GreekΚαὶ ἀπέστειλαν πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες πρὸς Βαροὺχ υἱὸν Νηρίου, τὸν Ἰουδὶν υἱὸν Ναθανίου, υἱοῦ Σελεμίου, υἱοῦ Χουσὶ, λέγοντες, τὸ χαρτίον ἐν ᾧ σὺ ἀναγινώσκεις ἐν αὐτῷ ἐν ὠσὶ τοῦ λαοῦ, λάβε αὐτὸ εἰς τὴν χεῖρά σου, καὶ ἧκε· καὶ ἔλαβε Βαροὺχ τὸ χαρτίον, καὶ κατέβη πρὸς αὐτούς.
15
Thomson—
BrentonAnd they said to him, Read it again in our ears. And Baruch read it.
GreekΚαὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ, πάλιν ἀνάγνωθι εἰς τὰ ὦτα ἡμῶν· καὶ ἀνέγνω Βαρούχ.
16
Thomson—
BrentonAnd it came to pass, when they had heard all the words, that they took counsel each with his neighbour, and said, Let us by all means tell the king all these words.
GreekΚαὶ ἐγενήθη ὡς ἤκουσαν πάντας τοὺς λόγους, συνεβουλεύσαντο ἕκαστος πρὸς τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπον, ἀναγγέλλοντες ἀναγγείλωμεν τῷ βασιλεῖ ἅπαντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους.
17
Thomson—
BrentonAnd they asked Baruch, saying, Where didst thou write all these words?
GreekΚαὶ τὸν Βαροὺχ ἠρώτησαν, λέγοντες, ποῦ ἔγραψας πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους;
18
Thomson—
BrentonAnd Baruch said, Jeremias told me from his own mouth all these words, and I wrote them in a book.
GreekΚαὶ εἶπε Βαροὺχ, ἀπὸ στόματος αὐτοῦ ἀνήγγειλέ μοι Ἱερεμίας πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους, καὶ ἔγραφον ἐν βιβλίῳ.
19
Thomson—
BrentonAnd they said to Baruch, Go, and hide, thou and Jeremias; let no man know where ye are.
GreekΚαὶ εἶπον τῷ Βαροὺχ, βάδισον, καὶ κατακρύβηθι σὺ καὶ Ἱερεμίας, ἄνθρωπος μὴ γνώτω ποῦ ὑμεῖς.
20
Thomson—
BrentonAnd they went in to the king into the court, and gave the roll to one to keep in the house of Elisama; and they told the king all these words.
GreekΚαὶ εἰσῆλθον πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν, καὶ τὸ χαρτίον ἔδωκαν φυλάσσειν ἐν οἴκῳ Ἐλισαμά· καὶ ἀνήγγειλαν τῷ βασιλεῖ πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους.
21
Thomson—
BrentonAnd the king sent Judin to fetch the roll: and he took it out of the house of Elisama: and Judin read in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes who stood round the king.
GreekΚαὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸν Ἰουδὶν, λαβεῖν τὸ χαρτίον· καὶ ἔλαβεν αὐτὸ ἐξ οἴκου Ἐλισαμά· καὶ ἀνέγνω Ἰουδὶν εἰς τὰ ὦτα τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ εἰς τὰ ὦτα πάντων τῶν ἀρχόντων, τῶν ἑστηκότων περὶ τὸν βασιλέα.
22
Thomson—
BrentonNow the king was sitting in the winter house: and there was a fire on the hearth before him.
GreekΚαὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐκάθητο ἐν οἴκῳ χειμερινῷ, καὶ ἐσχάρα πυρὸς κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ.
23
Thomson—
BrentonAnd it came to pass when Judin had read three or four leaves, he cut them off with a penknife, and cast them into the fire that was on the hearth, until the whole roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth.
GreekΚαὶ ἐγενήθη ἀναγινώσκοντος Ἰουδὶν τρεῖς σελίδας καὶ τέσσαρας, ἀπέτεμεν αὐτὰς τῷ ξυρῷ τοῦ γραμματέως, καὶ ἔῤῥιπτεν εἰς τὸ πῦρ τὸ ἐπὶ τῆς ἐσχάρας, ἕως ἐξέλιπε πᾶς ὁ χάρτης εἰς τὸ πῦρ τὸ ἐπὶ τῆς ἐσχάρας.
24
Thomson—
BrentonAnd the king and his servants that heard all these words sought not the Lord, and rent not their garments.
GreekΚαὶ οὐκ ἐζήτησαν, καὶ οὐ διέῤῥηξαν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ οἱ ἀκούοντες πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους.
25
Thomson—
BrentonBut Elnathan and Godolias suggested to the king that he should burn the roll.
GreekΚαὶ Ἐλνάθαν καὶ Γοδολίας ὑπέθεντο τῷ βασιλεῖ, πρὸς τὸ κατακαῦσαι τὸ χαρτίον.
26
Thomson—
BrentonAnd the king commanded Jeremeel the king's son, and Saræas the son of Esriel, to take Baruch and Jeremias: but they were hidden.
GreekΚαὶ ἐνετείλατο ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Ἱερεμεὴλ υἱῷ τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ τῷ Σαραίᾳ υἱῷ Ἐσριὴλ, συλλαβεῖν τὸν Βαροὺχ, καὶ τὸν Ἱερεμίαν, καὶ κατεκρύβησαν.
27
Thomson—
BrentonThen the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, after the king had burnt the roll, even all the words which Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremias, saying,
GreekΚαὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς Ἱερεμίαν, μετὰ τὸ κατακαῦσαι τὸν βασιλέα τὸ χαρτίον, πάντας τοὺς λόγους, οὓς ἔγραψε Βαροὺχ ἀπὸ στόματος Ἱερεμίου, λέγων,
28
Thomson—
BrentonAgain take thou another roll, and write all the words that were on the roll, which king Joakim has burnt.
Greekπάλιν λάβε σὺ χαρτίον ἕτερον, καὶ γράψον πάντας τοὺς λόγους, τοὺς ὄντας ἐπὶ τοῦ χαρτίου, οὓς κατέκαυσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰωακεὶμ,
29
Thomson—
BrentonAnd thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord; Thou hast burnt this roll, saying, Why hast thou written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come in, and destroy this land, and man and cattle shall fail from off it?
Greekκαὶ ἐρεῖς, οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, σὺ κατέκαυσας τὸ χαρτίον τοῦτο, λέγων, διατί ἔγραψας ἐπʼ αὐτῷ, λέγων, εἰσπορευόμενος εἰσπορεύσεται βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ ἐξολοθρεύσει τὴν γῆν ταύτην, καὶ ἐκλείψει ἐπʼ αὐτῆς ἄνθρωπος καὶ κτήνη;
30
Thomson—
BrentonTherefore thus saith the Lord concerning Joakim king of Juda; He shall not have a man to sit on the throne of David: and his carcase shall be cast forth in the heat by day, and in the frost by night.
GreekΔιατοῦτο οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος ἐπὶ Ἰωακεὶμ βασιλέα Ἰούδα, οὐκ ἔσται αὐτῷ καθήμενος ἐπὶ θρόνου Δαυὶδ, καὶ τὸ θνησιμαῖον αὐτοῦ ἔσται ἐῤῥιμμένον ἐν τῷ καύματι τῆς ἡμέρας, καὶ ἐν τῷ παγετῷ τῆς νυκτός·
31
Thomson—
BrentonAnd I will visit him, and his family, and his servants: and I will bring upon him, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the land of Juda, all the evils which I spoke of to them; and they hearkened not.
GreekΚαὶ ἐπισκέψομαι ἐπʼ αὐτὸν, καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ γένος αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπάξω ἐπʼ αὐτὸν, καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ἐπὶ γῆν Ἰούδα, πάντα τὰ κακὰ ἃ ἐλάλησα πρὸς αὐτοὺς, καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσαν.
32
Thomson—
BrentonAnd Baruch took another roll, and wrote upon it from the mouth of Jeremias all the words of the book which Joakim had burnt: and there were yet more words added to it like the former.
GreekΚαὶ ἔλαβε Βαροὺχ χαρτίον ἕτερον, καὶ ἔγραψεν ἐπʼ αὐτῷ ἀπὸ στόματος Ἱερεμίου ἅπαντας τοὺς λόγους τοῦ βιβλίου, οὓς κατέκαυσεν Ἰωακείμ· καὶ ἔτι προσετέθησαν αὐτῷ λόγοι πλείονες, ὡς οὗτοι.
