Ieremia 36
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
Cartea lui Ieremia, arsă
36 În al patrulea an al lui Ioiachim, fiul lui Iosia, împăratul lui Iuda, următorul cuvânt a fost rostit către Ieremia din partea Domnului: 2 „Ia(A) un sul de carte şi scrie(B) în ea toate cuvintele pe care ţi le-am spus cu privire la Israel, cu privire la Iuda şi cu privire la toate(C) neamurile din ziua când ţi-am vorbit, pe vremea lui Iosia(D), până în ziua de azi! 3 Poate(E) că, dacă va auzi casa lui Iuda tot răul pe care am de gând să i-l fac, se vor întoarce(F) fiecare de la calea lor cea rea, şi le voi ierta astfel nelegiuirea şi păcatul.” 4 Ieremia a chemat(G) pe Baruc, fiul lui Neriia, şi Baruc(H) a scris într-o carte, după cum spunea Ieremia, toate cuvintele pe care le spusese lui Ieremia Domnul. 5 Apoi Ieremia a dat următoarea poruncă lui Baruc: „Eu sunt închis şi nu pot să merg la Casa Domnului. 6 De aceea, du-te tu însuţi şi citeşte din carte ce ai scris în ea după spusele mele, şi anume cuvintele Domnului citeşte-le în auzul poporului, în Casa Domnului; în ziua(I) postului să le citeşti şi în auzul tuturor acelora din Iuda care vor veni din cetăţile lor. 7 Poate(J) că se vor smeri cu rugăciuni înaintea Domnului şi se va întoarce fiecare de la calea sa cea rea. Căci mare este mânia şi urgia cu care a ameninţat Domnul pe poporul acesta!” 8 Baruc, fiul lui Neriia, a făcut tot ce-i poruncise prorocul Ieremia şi a citit din carte cuvintele Domnului, în Casa Domnului. 9 În al cincilea an al lui Ioiachim, fiul lui Iosia, împăratul lui Iuda, în luna a noua, au chemat la un post înaintea Domnului pe tot poporul Ierusalimului şi pe tot poporul venit din cetăţile lui Iuda la Ierusalim. 10 Atunci, Baruc a citit din carte cuvintele lui Ieremia în auzul întregului popor, în Casa Domnului, în chilia lui Ghemaria, fiul lui Şafan, logofătul, în curtea de sus, la intrarea(K) porţii celei noi a Casei Domnului. 11 Însă Mica, fiul lui Ghemaria, fiul lui Şafan, auzind toate cuvintele Domnului cuprinse în carte, 12 s-a pogorât la casa împăratului, în odaia de scris a logofătului, unde stăteau toate căpeteniile: logofătul Elişama, Delaia, fiul lui Şemaia, Elnatan, fiul lui Acbor, Ghemaria, fiul lui Şafan, Zedechia, fiul lui Hanania, şi toate celelalte căpetenii. 13 Şi Mica le-a spus toate cuvintele pe care le auzise când citea Baruc din carte în auzul poporului. 14 Atunci, toate căpeteniile au trimis la Baruc pe Iehudi, fiul lui Netania, fiul lui Şelemia, fiul lui Cuşi, să-i spună: „Ia în mână cartea din care ai citit în auzul poporului şi vino!” Baruc, fiul lui Neriia, a luat cartea în mână şi s-a dus la ei. 15 Ei i-au zis: „Şezi şi citeşte-o în auzul nostru.” Astfel, Baruc a citit-o în auzul lor. 16 Când au auzit ei toate cuvintele, s-au uitat cu groază unii la alţii şi au zis lui Baruc: „Vom spune împăratului toate cuvintele acestea.” 17 Şi au mai pus lui Baruc următoarea întrebare: „Spune-ne cum ai scris toate cuvintele acestea după spusele lui?” 18 Baruc le-a răspuns: „El îmi spunea cu gura lui toate cuvintele acestea, şi eu le-am scris în cartea aceasta cu cerneală.” 19 Căpeteniile au zis lui Baruc: „Du-te de te ascunde, tu şi Ieremia, ca să nu ştie nimeni unde sunteţi.” 20 Ei s-au dus apoi la împăratul în curte, lăsând cartea în odaia de scris a logofătului Elişama şi au spus toate cuvintele din ea în auzul împăratului. 21 Împăratul a trimis pe Iehudi să ia cartea. Iehudi a luat-o din odaia logofătului Elişama şi a citit-o în auzul împăratului şi în auzul tuturor căpeteniilor care stăteau împrejurul împăratului. 22 Împăratul şedea în casa(L) de iarnă, căci era în luna a noua, şi înaintea lui era un foc de cărbuni aprinşi. 23 După ce Iehudi a citit trei sau patru foi, împăratul a tăiat cartea cu briceagul logofătului şi a aruncat-o în jăraticul de cărbuni, unde a fost arsă de tot. 24 Împăratul şi toţi slujitorii lui care au auzit toate cuvintele acelea nu s-au înspăimântat şi nu şi-au sfâşiat(M) hainele. 25 Elnatan, Delaia şi Ghemaria stăruiseră de împărat să nu ardă cartea, dar el nu i-a ascultat. 26 Ci împăratul a poruncit lui Ierahmeel, fiul împăratului, lui Seraia, fiul lui Azriel, şi lui Şelemia, fiul lui Abdel, să pună mâna pe logofătul Baruc şi pe prorocul Ieremia. Dar Domnul i-a ascuns. 27 După ce a ars împăratul cartea care cuprindea cuvintele pe care le scrisese Baruc după spusele lui Ieremia, Cuvântul Domnului a vorbit astfel lui Ieremia: 28 „Ia din nou o altă carte şi scrie în ea toate cuvintele care erau în cea dintâi carte pe care a ars-o Ioiachim, împăratul lui Iuda. 29 Şi despre Ioiachim, împăratul lui Iuda, spune: ‘Aşa vorbeşte Domnul: Tu ai ars cartea aceasta, zicând: Pentru ce ai scris în ea cuvintele acestea: «Împăratul Babilonului va veni, va nimici ţara aceasta şi va nimici din ea oamenii şi dobitoacele»?’ 30 De aceea, aşa vorbeşte Domnul despre Ioiachim, împăratul lui Iuda: ‘Niciunul(N) din ai lui nu va şedea pe scaunul de domnie al lui David. Trupul lui mort va fi lăsat la căldură(O) ziua şi la frig noaptea. 31 Îl voi pedepsi pe el, sămânţa lui şi pe slujitorii lui pentru nelegiuirea lor şi voi aduce peste ei, peste locuitorii Ierusalimului şi peste oamenii lui Iuda toate nenorocirile cu care i-am ameninţat, fără ca ei să fi vrut să Mă asculte!’ ” 32 Ieremia a luat o altă carte şi a dat-o lui Baruc, fiul lui Neriia, logofătul. Baruc a scris în ea, după spusele lui Ieremia, toate cuvintele din cartea pe care o arsese în foc Ioiachim, împăratul lui Iuda. Multe alte cuvinte de felul acesta au mai fost adăugate la ea.
Jeremiah 36
New American Standard Bible
Jeremiah’s Scroll Read in the Temple
36 In the (A)fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, 2 “Take a [a](B)scroll and write on it all the (C)words which I have spoken to you concerning (D)Israel, Judah, and all the (E)nations, from the (F)day I first spoke to you, from the days of Josiah, even to this day. 3 (G)Perhaps the house of Judah will listen to all the disaster which I plan to carry out against them, so that every person will (H)turn from his evil way; then I will (I)forgive their wrongdoing and their sin.”
4 Then Jeremiah called (J)Baruch the son of Neriah, and Baruch wrote on a [b](K)scroll [c]at the dictation of Jeremiah all the words of the Lord which He had spoken to him. 5 Jeremiah then commanded Baruch, saying, “I am [d](L)restricted; I cannot go into the house of the Lord. 6 So you go and (M)read from the scroll, which you have (N)written [e]at my dictation, the words of the Lord [f]to the people at the Lord’s house on a day of (O)fasting. And you shall also read them [g]to all the people of Judah who come from their cities. 7 (P)Perhaps their pleading will [h]come before the Lord, and everyone will turn from his evil way; for (Q)great is the anger and the wrath that the Lord has pronounced against this people.” 8 So Baruch the son of Neriah acted in accordance with all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, (R)reading from the book the words of the Lord in the Lord’s house.
9 Now in the (S)fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the (T)ninth month, all the people in Jerusalem and all the people who (U)came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem proclaimed a (V)fast before the Lord. 10 Then Baruch read to all the people from the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of the Lord in the (W)chamber of (X)Gemariah the son of Shaphan the (Y)scribe, in the upper courtyard, at the (Z)entry of the New Gate of the Lord’s house.
11 Now when (AA)Micaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard all the words of the Lord from the book, 12 he went down to the king’s house, into the scribe’s chamber. And behold, all the officials were sitting there—(AB)Elishama the scribe, (AC)Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, (AD)Elnathan the son of Achbor, Gemariah the son of Shaphan, Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the other officials. 13 And Micaiah (AE)declared to them all the words that he had heard when Baruch read from the book to the people. 14 Then all the officials sent (AF)Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, who was the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, “Take in your hand the scroll from which you have read to the people and come.” So Baruch the son of Neriah (AG)took the scroll in his hand and came to them. 15 And they said to him, “Sit down, please, and read it to us.” So Baruch (AH)read it to them. 16 When they had heard all the words, they turned in (AI)fear one to another. And they said to Baruch, “We will certainly (AJ)report all these words to the king.” 17 Then they asked Baruch, saying, “Tell us, please, (AK)how did you write all these words? Was it [i]at Jeremiah’s dictation?” 18 And Baruch said to them, “He (AL)dictated all these words to me, and I wrote them with ink on the book.” 19 Then the officials said to Baruch, “Go, (AM)hide yourself, you and Jeremiah, and do not let anyone know where you are.”
The Scroll Is Burned
20 So they came to the (AN)king in the courtyard, but they had deposited the scroll in the chamber of (AO)Elishama the scribe; and they reported all the words to the king. 21 Then the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and he took it out of the chamber of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi (AP)read it to the king as well as to all the officials who were standing beside the king. 22 Now the king was sitting in the (AQ)winter house in the (AR)ninth month, with a fire burning in the brazier before him. 23 And when Jehudi had read three or four columns, the king cut it with a scribe’s knife and (AS)threw it into the fire that was in the brazier, until all of the scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier. 24 Yet the king and all his servants who heard all these words did (AT)not tremble in fear, nor did they (AU)tear their garments. 25 Even though Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah (AV)urged the king not to burn the scroll, he would not listen to them. 26 And the king commanded Jerahmeel the king’s son, Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel to (AW)seize Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet, but the (AX)Lord hid them.
The Scroll Is Replaced
27 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah after the king had (AY)burned the scroll and the words which (AZ)Baruch had written [j]at the dictation of Jeremiah, saying, 28 “(BA)Take again another scroll and write on it all the previous words that were (BB)on the first scroll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah burned. 29 And concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah you shall say, ‘This is what the Lord says: “You have (BC)burned this scroll, saying, ‘(BD)Why have you written on it [k]that the (BE)king of Babylon will certainly come and destroy this land, and will make mankind and animals disappear from it?’” 30 Therefore this is what the Lord says concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: “He shall have (BF)no one to sit on the throne of David, and his (BG)dead body shall be thrown out to the heat of the day and the frost of the night. 31 I will also (BH)punish him, his [l]descendants, and his servants for their wrongdoing, and I will (BI)bring on them and the inhabitants of Jerusalem and the people of Judah all the disaster that I have declared to them—but they did not listen.”’”
32 Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to the scribe Baruch the son of Neriah, and he (BJ)wrote on it at the [m]dictation of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire; and many [n]similar words were added to them.

Jehoiakim Burns Jeremiah's Scroll
36 In the (A)fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord: 2 “Take (B)a scroll and (C)write on it all the words that I have spoken to you against Israel and (D)Judah (E)and all the nations, (F)from the day I spoke to you, from the days of Josiah until today. 3 (G)It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the disaster that I intend to do to them, (H)so that every one may turn from his evil way, and (I)that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.”
4 Then Jeremiah called (J)Baruch the son of Neriah, and (K)Baruch wrote on (L)a scroll at the dictation of Jeremiah all the words of the Lord that he had spoken to him. 5 And Jeremiah ordered (M)Baruch, saying, (N)“I am banned from going to the house of the Lord, 6 so you are to go, and (O)on a day of fasting in the hearing of all the people in the Lord's house you shall read the words of the Lord from the scroll that you have written at my dictation. You shall read them also in the hearing of all the men of Judah who come out of their cities. 7 (P)It may be that their plea for mercy will come before the Lord, (Q)and that every one will turn from his evil way, for great is the anger and wrath that the Lord has pronounced against this people.” 8 And Baruch the son of Neriah did all that Jeremiah the prophet ordered him about reading from the scroll the words of the Lord in the Lord's house.
9 (R)In the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, (S)in the ninth month, all the people in Jerusalem and all the people who came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem (T)proclaimed a fast before the Lord. 10 Then, in the hearing of all the people, Baruch read the words of Jeremiah from the scroll, in the house of the Lord, in (U)the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the secretary, which was in the upper court, at the entry of the New Gate of the Lord's house.
11 When Micaiah the son of Gemariah, son of (V)Shaphan, heard all the words of the Lord from the scroll, 12 he went down to the king's house, into the secretary's chamber, and (W)all the officials were sitting there: (X)Elishama the secretary, (Y)Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, (Z)Elnathan (AA)the son of Achbor, (AB)Gemariah the son of (AC)Shaphan, Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the officials. 13 And Micaiah told them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the scroll in the hearing of the people. 14 Then all the officials sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, son of (AD)Shelemiah, son of Cushi, to say to Baruch, “Take in your hand the scroll that you read in the hearing of the people, and come.” So Baruch the son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand and came to them. 15 And they said to him, “Sit down and read it.” So Baruch read it to them. 16 When they heard all the words, they turned one to another in fear. And they said to Baruch, (AE)“We must report all these words to the king.” 17 Then they asked Baruch, “Tell us, please, how did you write all these words? Was it at his dictation?” 18 Baruch answered them, “He dictated all these words to me, (AF)while I wrote them with ink on the scroll.” 19 Then the officials said to Baruch, “Go and hide, you and Jeremiah, and let no one know where you are.”
20 So they went into the court to the king, having put the scroll in (AG)the chamber of Elishama the secretary, and they reported all the words to the king. 21 Then the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and he took it from the chamber of Elishama the secretary. And Jehudi read it to the king and all the officials who stood beside the king. 22 It was (AH)the ninth month, and the king was sitting in (AI)the winter house, and there was a fire burning in the fire pot before him. 23 As Jehudi read three or four columns, the king would cut them off with a knife and throw them into the fire in the fire pot, until the entire scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the fire pot. 24 Yet (AJ)neither the king nor any of his servants who heard all these words was afraid, (AK)nor did they tear their garments. 25 Even when (AL)Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah (AM)urged the king not to burn the scroll, he would not listen to them. 26 And the king commanded Jerahmeel the (AN)king's son and Seraiah the son of Azriel and (AO)Shelemiah the son of Abdeel to seize (AP)Baruch the secretary and Jeremiah the prophet, but the Lord hid them.
27 Now after the king had burned the scroll with the words that Baruch wrote at Jeremiah's dictation, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 28 “Take another scroll and write on it all the former words that were in the first scroll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah has burned. 29 And concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah you shall say, ‘Thus says the Lord, You have burned this scroll, saying, (AQ)“Why have you written in it that the king of Babylon will certainly come and destroy this land, and will cut off from it man and beast?” 30 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: (AR)He shall have none (AS)to sit on the throne of David, (AT)and his dead body shall be cast out to the heat by day and the frost by night. 31 (AU)And I will punish him and his offspring and his servants for their iniquity. I will bring upon them and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem and upon the people of Judah all the disaster that I have pronounced against them, but they would not hear.’”
32 Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to (AV)Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah, who (AW)wrote on it at the dictation of Jeremiah all the words of the scroll that Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire. And many similar words were added to them.
