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.

Bokrullen med Jeremias profetior
36 I kung Jojakims, Josias sons, fjärde regeringsår över Juda kom Herrens ord till Jeremia: 2 ”Ta en bokrulle och skriv ner allt vad jag har talat till dig om Israel, Juda och de andra folken, från den dag jag talade till dig under Josias tid fram till i dag. 3 När folket i Juda hör om allt det onda jag tänker göra mot dem, kommer de kanske att vända var och en från sin onda väg, och då ska jag förlåta dem deras skuld och synd.”
4 Jeremia kallade då på Baruk, Nerias son, och medan Jeremia dikterade, skrev Baruk ner allt vad Herren hade talat till honom. 5 Sedan befallde Jeremia Baruk: ”Jag är förhindrad och kan inte gå till Herrens hus. 6 Men gå du dit nästa fastedag och läs upp från bokrullen som du skrev efter min diktamen Herrens ord för folket som är i Herrens hus på fastedagen. Läs dem för hela Juda folk som kommer dit från sina städer. 7 Då kanske de vädjar till Herren och vänder om var och en från sin onda väg. För stor är den vrede och förbittring som Herren har uttryckt mot detta folk.”
8 Baruk, Nerias son, gjorde allt som profeten Jeremia hade befallt honom och läste upp Herrens ord ur bokrullen i Herrens hus. 9 I Jojakims, Josias sons, Juda kungs, femte regeringsår, i den nionde månaden var en fasta utlyst inför Herren för allt folket i Jerusalem och dem som kom från Juda städer. 10 Baruk läste upp Jeremias ord ur bokrullen för allt folket i Herrens hus, i Gemarjas, kungens skrivare Shafans sons, rum på den övre förgården, vid ingången till nya porten till Herrens hus.
11 När Mika, Gemarjas son och Shafans sonson, hörde allt som Herren hade talat läsas ur bokrullen, 12 gick han ner till skrivarens rum i kungens palats. Där satt furstarna: sekreteraren Elishama, Delaja, Shemajas son, Elnatan, Akbors son, Gemarja, Shafans son, Sidkia, Hananjas son och alla de övriga furstarna. 13 Mika berättade för dem allt som han hade hört Baruk läsa upp ur bokrullen för folket.
14 Alla furstarna sände då Jehudi, Netanjas son, Shelemjas sonson och Kushis sonsons son, till Baruk för att säga: ”Ta med dig bokrullen du läst ur för folket och kom hit.” Baruk, Nerias son, gick då till dem med bokrullen i sin hand. 15 De sa till honom: ”Sätt dig ner och läs den för oss.” Och Baruk läste för dem.
16 När de hört allt som stod där såg de förskräckta på varandra och sa till Baruk: ”Vi måste rapportera allt detta för kungen.” 17 De frågade Baruk: ”Tala om för oss hur du har skrivit ner allt detta. Var det efter hans diktamen?” 18 Baruk svarade: ”Han dikterade allt för mig, och jag skrev ner det med bläck i bokrullen.” 19 Furstarna sa till Baruk: ”Gå och göm er, du och Jeremia, och låt ingen veta var ni är.” 20 Sedan lämnade de bokrullen i skrivaren Elishamas rum och gick till kungen på förgården och berättade allt för honom.
21 Kungen skickade Jehudi att hämta bokrullen. Han hämtade den från sekreteraren Elishamas rum och läste den för kungen och alla furstarna som stod runt honom. 22 Kungen befann sig i vinterpalatset, då det var den nionde månaden, och en brasa brann i kolpannan framför honom. 23 När Jehudi hade läst tre eller fyra spalter, skar kungen av dem med en skrivarkniv och kastade dem i elden i kolpannan, tills hela bokrullen var uppbrunnen. 24 Varken kungen eller hans tjänare som hörde detta läsas upp blev förskräckta eller rev sönder sina kläder. 25 Elnatan, Delaja och Gemarja vädjade till kungen att inte bränna upp bokrullen, men han lyssnade inte på dem.
26 Sedan gav kungen en befallning till Jerachmeel, kungens son, och Seraja, Asriels son, och Shelemja, Avdeels son, att gripa skrivaren Baruk och profeten Jeremia. Men Herren hade gömt dem.
27 Efter att kungen bränt bokrullen med allt som Baruk skrivit i den efter Jeremias diktamen, kom Herrens ord till Jeremia: 28 ”Ta en ny bokrulle och skriv ner allt som stod i den första rullen, den som Jojakim, Juda kung, brände upp. 29 Säg till Jojakim, Juda kung: ’Så säger Herren: Du brände upp bokrullen och sa: ”Hur kan du skriva i den att kungen av Babylonien ska komma och fördärva det här landet och utplåna både människor och djur därifrån?” 30 Därför säger Herren så beträffande Jojakim, Juda kung: Han ska inte ha någon ättling som sitter på Davids tron. Hans döda kropp ska kastas bort och förtäras av dagens hetta och nattens frost. 31 Jag ska straffa honom och hans ättlingar och tjänstefolk för deras synd. Jag ska låta allt det onda jag talat om komma över Jerusalems invånare och Juda män, därför att de inte har lyssnat.’ ”
32 Då tog Jeremia en ny bokrulle och gav den till skrivaren Baruk, Nerias son. Denne skrev ner efter Jeremias diktamen allt som hade stått i den bokrulle som Jojakim, Juda kung, brände upp. Mycket mer av samma slag blev också tillagt.

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.
