Jeremias 36

1 In the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying, 2 "Take a scroll of a book, and write in it all the words that I have spoken to you against Israel, against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spoke to you, from the days of Josiah even to this day. 3 It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I intend to do to them, that they may each return from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin."

4 Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah; and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all Yahweh’s words, which he had spoken to him, on a scroll of a book. 5 Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, "I am restricted. I can’t go into Yahweh’s house. 6 Therefore you go, and read from the scroll which you have written from my mouth, Yahweh’s words, in the ears of the people in Yahweh’s house on the fast day. Also you shall read them in the ears of all Judah who come out of their cities. 7 It may be they will present their supplication before Yahweh, and will each return from his evil way; for Yahweh has pronounced great anger and wrath against this people."

8 Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book Yahweh’s words in Yahweh’s house. 9 Now in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, all the people in Jerusalem and all the people who came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem, proclaimed a fast before Yahweh. 10 Then Baruch read the words of Jeremiah from the book in Yahweh’s house, in the room of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the upper court, at the entry of the new gate of Yahweh’s house, in the ears of all the people.

11 When Micaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all Yahweh’s words, 12 he went down into the king’s house, into the scribe’s room; and behold, all the princes were sitting there, Elishama the scribe, Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, Elnathan the son of Achbor, Gemariah the son of Shaphan, Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes. 13 Then Micaiah declared to 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, to Baruch, saying, "Take in your hand the scroll in which you have read in the ears of the people, and come."

So Baruch the son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand, and came to them. 15 They said to him, "Sit down now, and read it in our hearing."

So Baruch read it in their hearing.

16 Now when they had heard all the words, they turned in fear one toward another, and said to Baruch, "We will surely tell the king of all these words." 17 They asked Baruch, saying, "Tell us now, how did you write all these words at his mouth?"

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

19 Then the princes said to Baruch, "You and Jeremiah go hide. Don’t let anyone know where you are."

20 They went in to the king into the court, but they had laid up the scroll in the room of Elishama the scribe. Then they told all the words in the hearing of the king. 21 So the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and he took it out of the room of Elishama the scribe. Jehudi read it in the hearing of the king, and in the hearing of all the princes who stood beside the king. 22 Now the king was sitting in the winter house in the ninth month, and there was a fire in the brazier burning before him. 23 When Jehudi had read three or four columns, the king cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was in the brazier, until all the scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier. 24 The king and his servants who heard all these words were not afraid, and didn’t tear their garments. 25 Moreover Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the scroll; but he would not listen to them. 26 The king commanded Jerahmeel the king’s son, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to arrest Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; but Yahweh hid them.

27 Then Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah, after the king had burned the scroll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying, 28 "Take again another scroll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first scroll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah has burned. 29 Concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah you shall say, ‘Yahweh says: "You have burned this scroll, saying, ‘Why have you written therein, saying, "The king of Babylon will certainly come and destroy this land, and will cause to cease from there man and animal"?’" 30 Therefore Yahweh says concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: "He will have no one to sit on David’s throne. His dead body will be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost. 31 I will punish him, his offspring, and his servants for their iniquity. I will bring on them, on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and on the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them, but they didn’t listen."’"

32 Then Jeremiah took another scroll, 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 many similar words were added to them.

Ka Pānuitia te Pukapuka i roto i te Temepara

1 Nā, i te whā o ngā tau o Iehoiakimi tama a Hōhia kīngi o Hūrā, ka puta mai tēnei kupu ki a Heremaia nā Ihowā, i mea ia: 2 "Tīkina tētahi pukapuka māu, ka tuhituhi ki reira i ngā kupu katoa i kōrerotia e ahau ki a koe mō Īharaira, mō Hūrā, mō ngā iwi katoa hoki, o te rā anō i kōrero ai ahau ki a koe, o ngā rā i a Hōhia ā tae noa ki tēnei rā. 3 Tērā pea te whare o Hūrā e rongo ki te kino katoa e whakaaro nei ahau kia meatia ki a rātou; kia tahuri rātou, ia tangata, ia tangata, i ō rātou ara kino; ā tērā e murua e ahau tō rātou hē, tō rātou hara."

4 Kātahi a Heremaia ka karanga ki a Paruku, tama a Neria; nā, ka tuhituhia e Paruku, ki te pukapuka nō te māngai o Heremaia, ngā kupu katoa a Ihowā i kōrero ai ki a ia. 5 Nā, ka whakahau a Heremaia i a Paruku, ka mea, "Kua tūtakina ahau; e kore e āhei i ahau te haere ki te whare o Ihowā. 6 Nō reira haere koe, ka kōrero i te pukapuka i tuhituhia e koe, ko tāku i kōrero ai, ko ngā kupu a Ihowā, ki ngā taringa o te iwi i te whare o Ihowā i te rā nohopuku. Me kōrero anō e koe ki ngā taringa o Hūrā katoa e haere mai ana i ō rātou pā. 7 Tērā pea ka takoto tā rātou īnoi ki te aroaro o Ihowā, ā, ka hoki rātou i tōna ara kino, i tōna ara kino; he nui hoki te riri, he nui te weriweri i kōrerotia e Ihowā mō tēnei iwi."

8 Nā, meatia ana e Paruku tama a Neria ngā mea katoa i whakahaua ai ia e Heremaia poropiti, kōrerotia ana e ia i roto i te pukapuka ngā kupu a Ihowā i te whare o Ihowā. 9 Nā, i te rima o ngā tau o Iehoiakimi tama a Hōhia kīngi o Hūrā, i te iwa o ngā marama, ka karangatia e rātou he nohopuku ki te aroaro o Ihowā mō te iwi katoa i Hiruhārama, mō te iwi katoa hoki i haere mai i ngā pā o Hūrā ki Hiruhārama. 10 Kātahi ka kōrerotia e Paruku i roto i te pukapuka ngā kupu a Heremaia i roto i te whare o Ihowā, i te rūma o te kaituhituhi, o Kemaria tama a Hapana, i te marae o runga, i te kūwaha o te Kēti Hou o te whare o Ihowā, me te whakarongo anō te iwi katoa.

Ka Pānuitia te Pukapuka i roto i te Whare Kīngi

11 Ā, nō te rongonga o Mikaia tama a Kemaria, tama a Hapana, ki ngā kupu katoa a Ihowā i roto i te pukapuka, 12 ka haere ia ki raro, ki te whare o te kīngi, ki te rūma o te kaituhituhi, nā, i reira ngā rangatira katoa e noho ana, a Erihama kaituhituhi, rātou ko Teraia tama a Hemaia, ko Erenātana tama a Akaporo, ko Kemaria tama a Hapana, ko Terekia tama a Hanania, ko ngā rangatira katoa anō hoki. 13 Kātahi a Mikaia ka whakaatu ki a rātou i ngā kupu katoa i rongo ai ia, i te kōrerotanga a Paruku i te pukapuka ki ngā taringa o te iwi. 14 Nā reira ka ungā atu e ngā rangatira katoa a Iehuri, tama a Netania, tama a Heremia, tama a Kūhi, ki a Paruku, hei kī atu, "Mauria mai e koe i tōu ringa te pukapuka i kōrerotia nā e koe ki ngā taringa o te iwi, ā, ka haere mai." Nā, mauria ana e Paruku tama a Neria te pukapuka i tōna ringa, ā, haere ana ki a rātou. 15 Nā, ka mea rātou ki a ia, "Tēnā, e noho, kōrerotia hoki ki ō mātou taringa."

Heoi, kōrerotia ana e Paruku ki ō rātou taringa. 16 Nā, i tō rātou rongonga ki ngā kupu katoa, ka wehi rātou, ka tahuri tētahi ki tētahi, ā, ka mea atu ki a Paruku, "Ka kōrerotia mārietia e mātou ēnei kupu katoa ki te kīngi." 17 Ā, ka ui rātou ki a Paruku, ka mea, "Tēnā koa, whakaaturia mai ki a mātou, i pēhea tāu tuhituhi i ēnei kupu katoa a tōna māngai?"

18 Anō rā ko Paruku ki a rātou, "Nā tōna māngai ēnei kupu katoa i kōrero ki ahau, ā, tuhituhia iho e ahau ki te mangumangu ki te pukapuka."

19 Kātahi ngā rangatira ka mea ki a Paruku, "Haere, e huna i a koe, kōrua ko Heremaia, kaua hoki tētahi e mōhio kei hea kōrua."

Ka Tahuna e te Kīngi te Pukapuka

20 Nā, haere ana rātou ki te kīngi ki te marae; otiia i waiho e rātou te pukapuka i te rūma o Erihama kaituhituhi; ā, kōrerotia ana e rātou ngā kupu katoa ki ngā taringa o te kīngi. 21 Heoi, ka ungā e te kīngi a Iehuri ki te tiki i te pukapuka. Nā, tīkina ana e ia i te rūma o Erihama kaituhituhi; ā, kōrerotia ana e Iehuri ki ngā taringa o te kīngi, ki ngā taringa hoki o ngā rangatira katoa e tū ana i te taha o te kīngi. 22 Nā, i te noho te kīngi i te whare hōtoke (i te iwa o ngā marama), ā, he ahi i te kānga ahi e kā ana i tōna aroaro. 23 Nā, ka toru, ka whā ngā whārangi i kōrerotia e Iehuri, ka tapahia e te kīngi ki te māripi a te kaituhituhi, makā atu ana ki te ahi i te kānga ahi, ā pau noa te pukapuka katoa i te ahi i roto i te kānga ahi. 24 Nā, kāhore rātou i wehi, kāhore hoki i haehae i ō rātou kākahu, te kīngi rānei, tētahi rānei o āna pononga i rongo i ēnei kupu katoa. 25 Nā tērā a Erenātana rātou ko Teraia, ko Kemaria, kua tohe ki te kīngi kia kaua e tahuna te pukapuka; otiia, kīhai ia i rongo ki a rātou. 26 Nā, ka whakahaua e te kīngi a Ierameere tama a te kīngi, rātou ko Heraia tama a Atariere, ko Heremia tama a Aparēre ki te hopu i a Paruku kaituhituhi, rāua ko Heremaia poropiti. Otirā, i hunā rāua e Ihowā.

Ka Taki a Heremaia i tētahi atu Pukapuka

27 Kātahi ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowā ki a Heremaia, i muri i te tahunga a te kīngi i te pukapuka, i ngā kupu hoki i tuhituhia rā e Paruku i te māngai o Heremaia, i mea ia: 28 "Tīkina anō tētahi atu pukapuka, tuhituhia ki reira ngā kupu katoa ō mua rā, o te pukapuka tuatahi i tahuna rā e Iehoiakimi kīngi o Hūrā. 29 Nā, ko te kupu māu mō Iehoiakimi kīngi o Hūrā: ‘Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā: I tahuna e koe te pukapuka nei, i kī koe, "He aha i tuhituhia ai e koe ki konei, i kī ai, Ka tino haere mai te kīngi o Papurōna, ka whakangaro i tēnei whenua, ka mōtī anō i a ia te tangata me te kararehe o konei?" 30 Mō reira ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā mō Iehoiakimi kīngi o Hūrā: E kore ia e whai tangata hei noho ki te torōna o Rāwiri, ā, ka makā atu tōna tinana ki te werawera i te awatea, ki te huka i te pō. 31 Ka whiua hoki ia e ahau, rātou ko ōna uri, ko āna tāngata mō tō rātou hē; ā, ka kawea mai e ahau ki a rātou, ki ngā tāngata o Hiruhārama, ki ngā tāngata hoki o Hūrā, te kino katoa i kōrerotia e ahau mō rātou, ā, kīhai nei rātou i whakarongo.’ "

32 Nā, ka tangohia e Heremaia tētahi atu pukapuka, ā, hoatu ana e ia ki te kaituhituhi, ki a Paruku tama a Neria; nāna i tuhituhi ki reira nō te māngai o Heremaia ngā kupu katoa o te pukapuka i tahuna rā e Iehoiakimi kīngi o Hūrā ki te ahi, ā, tāpiritia atu ana ki ērā ētahi atu kupu maha pērā.
