IV. LE SOFFERENZE DI GEREMIA
Il rotolo del 605-604
36 Nel quarto anno di Ioiakìm figlio di Giosia, re di Giuda, questa parola fu rivolta a Geremia da parte del Signore: 2 «Prendi un rotolo da scrivere e scrivici tutte le cose che ti ho detto riguardo a Gerusalemme, a Giuda e a tutte le nazioni, da quando cominciai a parlarti dal tempo di Giosia fino ad oggi. 3 Forse quelli della casa di Giuda, sentendo tutto il male che mi propongo di fare loro, abbandoneranno ciascuno la sua condotta perversa e allora perdonerò le loro iniquità e i loro peccati».
4 Geremia chiamò Baruc figlio di Neria e Baruc scrisse, sotto la dettatura di Geremia, tutte le cose che il Signore gli aveva detto su un rotolo per scrivere. 5 Quindi Geremia ordinò a Baruc: «Io ne sono impedito e non posso andare nel tempio del Signore. 6 Andrai dunque tu a leggere, nel rotolo che hai scritto sotto la mia dettatura, le parole del Signore, facendole udire al popolo nel tempio del Signore in un giorno di digiuno; le leggerai anche ad alta voce a tutti quelli di Giuda che vengono dalle loro città. 7 Forse si umilieranno con suppliche dinanzi al Signore e abbandoneranno ciascuno la sua condotta perversa, perché grande è l'ira e il furore che il Signore ha espresso verso questo popolo».
8 Baruc figlio di Neria fece quanto gli aveva comandato il profeta Geremia, leggendo sul rotolo le parole del Signore nel tempio.
9 Nel quinto anno di Ioiakìm figlio di Giosia, re di Giuda, nel nono mese, fu indetto un digiuno davanti al Signore per tutto il popolo di Gerusalemme e per tutto il popolo che era venuto dalle città di Giuda a Gerusalemme. 10 Baruc dunque lesse nel libro facendo udire a tutto il popolo le parole di Geremia, nel tempio del Signore, nella stanza di Ghemarià, figlio di Safàn lo scriba, nel cortile superiore presso l'ingresso della Porta Nuova del tempio del Signore. 11 Michea figlio di Ghemarià, figlio di Safàn, udite tutte le parole del Signore lette dal libro, 12 scese alla reggia nella stanza dello scriba; ed ecco là si trovavano in seduta tutti i capi dignitari: Elisamà lo scriba e Delaià figlio di Semaià, Elnatàn figlio di Acbòr, Ghemarià figlio di Safàn, e Sedecìa figlio di Anania, insieme con tutti i capi. 13 Michea riferì loro tutte le parole che aveva udite quando Baruc leggeva nel libro al popolo in ascolto.
14 Allora tutti i capi inviarono da Baruc Iudi figlio di Natania, figlio di Selemia, figlio dell'Etiope, per dirgli: «Prendi nelle mani il rotolo che leggevi ad alta voce al popolo e vieni».
Baruc figlio di Neria prese il rotolo in mano e si recò da loro. 15 Ed essi gli dissero: «Siedi e leggi davanti a noi». Baruc lesse davanti a loro.
16 Allora, quando udirono tutte quelle parole, ebbero paura e si dissero l'un l'altro: «Dobbiamo senz'altro riferire al re tutte queste parole». 17 Poi interrogarono Baruc: «Dicci come hai fatto a scrivere tutte queste parole». 18 Baruc rispose: «Di sua bocca Geremia mi dettava tutte queste parole e io le scrivevo nel libro con l'inchiostro».
19 I capi dissero a Baruc: «Và e nasconditi insieme con Geremia; nessuno sappia dove siete». 20 Essi poi si recarono dal re nell'appartamento interno, dopo aver riposto il rotolo nella stanza di Elisamà lo scriba, e riferirono al re tutte queste cose.
21 Allora il re mandò Iudi a prendere il rotolo. Iudi lo prese dalla stanza di Elisamà lo scriba e lo lesse davanti al re e a tutti i capi che stavano presso il re. 22 Il re sedeva nel palazzo d'inverno - si era al nono mese - con un braciere acceso davanti.
23 Ora, quando Iudi aveva letto tre o quattro colonne, il re le lacerava con il temperino da scriba e le gettava nel fuoco sul braciere, finché non fu distrutto l'intero rotolo nel fuoco che era sul braciere. 24 Il re e tutti i suoi ministri non tremarono né si strapparono le vesti all'udire tutte quelle cose. 25 Eppure Elnatàn, Delaià e Ghemarià avevano supplicato il re di non bruciare il rotolo, ma egli non diede loro ascolto. 26 Anzi ordinò a Ieracmeèl, un principe regale, a Seraià figlio di Azrièl e a Selemia figlio di Abdeèl, di arrestare Baruc lo scriba e il profeta Geremia, ma il Signore li aveva nascosti.
27 Questa parola del Signore fu rivolta a Geremia dopo che il re ebbe bruciato il rotolo con le parole che Baruc aveva scritte sotto la dettatura di Geremia: 28 Prendi di nuovo un rotolo e scrivici tutte le parole di prima, che erano nel primo rotolo bruciato da Ioiakìm re di Giuda. 29 Contro Ioiakìm re di Giuda dichiarerai: «Dice il Signore: Hai bruciato quel rotolo, dicendo: Perché vi hai scritto queste parole: Certo verrà il re di Babilonia e devasterà questo paese e farà scomparire da esso uomini e bestie? 30 Per questo dice il Signore contro Ioiakìm re di Giuda: Egli non avrà un erede sul trono di Davide; il suo cadavere sarà esposto al calore del giorno e al freddo della notte. 31 Io punirò lui, la sua discendenza e i suoi ministri per le loro iniquità e manderò su di loro, sugli abitanti di Gerusalemme e sugli uomini di Giuda, tutto il male che ho minacciato, senza che mi abbiano dato ascolto».
32 Geremia prese un altro rotolo e lo consegnò a Baruc figlio di Neria, lo scriba, il quale vi scrisse, sotto la dettatura di Geremia, tutte le parole del libro che Ioiakìm re di Giuda aveva bruciato nel fuoco; inoltre vi furono aggiunte molte parole simili a quelle.

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: 2 “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. 3 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.”
4 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) 5 Then Jeremiah told Baruch, “I am restricted; I am not allowed to go to the Lord’s temple. 6 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. 7 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.”
8 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. 9 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,
2 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.
3 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.
4 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.
5 And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I cannot go into the house of the Lord:
6 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.
7 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.
8 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.
9 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.
