Jeremija 36
Biblija: suvremeni hrvatski prijevod
Kralj Jojakim spaljuje Jeremijin svitak
36 U četvrtoj godini vladavine judejskoga kralja Jojakima,[a] Jošijinog sina, Jeremija je čuo BOGA kako mu govori: 2 »Uzmi svitak i na njemu napiši sve što sam ti rekao o Izraelu[b], Judi i svim drugim narodima, od trenutka kad sam ti počeo govoriti, u vrijeme Jošijine vladavine, pa sve do danas. 3 Možda će Judejci odustati od svoga zlog načina života kad čuju kakve im sve nesreće spremam. Ako tako učine, oprostit ću im sve njihove grijehe i krivnju.«
4 Jeremija je pozvao Baruha, Nerijinog sina, kao pisara. Jeremija je govorio redom sve što mu je BOG rekao, a Baruh je to zapisivao na svitak. 5 Zatim je Jeremija rekao Baruhu: »Nije mi dopušteno ići u BOŽJI Hram. 6 Stoga, idi ti i pročitaj BOŽJE poruke sa svitka pred svim ljudima koji će se okupiti u BOŽJEM Hramu na dan posta. Pročitaj pred Judejcima iz svih judejskih gradova sve što si zapisao onako kako sam ti rekao. 7 Možda će BOG čuti njihove molitve pa će oni odustati od svojih zlih djela. Jer, BOG je objavio da je silno ljut na svoj narod.« 8 I tako je Baruh, Nerijin sin, učinio sve što mu je zapovjedio prorok Jeremija. U BOŽJEM je Hramu javno pročitao sa svitka sve što je poručio BOG.
9 U petoj godini vladavine judejskoga kralja Jojakima, Jošijinog sina, u devetome mjesecu, narod je bio pozvan na post pred BOGOM. Vrijedilo je to za sve stanovnike Jeruzalema, kao i za sve ljude koji su mogli doći u Jeruzalem iz drugih judejskih gradova. 10 Baruh je čitao Jeremijine riječi iz svitka pred svim ljudima koji su se okupili u Hramu. Stajao je u Gemarijinoj sobi u gornjem dvorištu, ispred Novih vrata Hrama. Gemarija je bio sin visokog službenika Šafana.
11 Kad je Mikaja, Gemarijin sin i Šafanov unuk, čuo sve BOŽJE poruke pročitane sa svitka, 12 spustio se iz Hrama u kraljevsku palaču. Ušao je u sobu kraljevskog tajnika, gdje su sjedili visoki dvorski dužnosnici: tajnik Elišama, Delaja—Šemajin sin, Elnatan—Akborov sin, Gemarija—Šafanov sin, Sidkija—Hananijin sin, kao i drugi kraljevski službenici. 13 Mikaja im je ispričao sve što je Baruh javno pročitao iz svitka.
14 Nato su dužnosnici k Baruhu poslali čovjeka po imenu Jehudi, a on je bio Netanijin sin, Šelemijin unuk i Kušijev praunuk. Jehudi je rekao Baruhu: »Ponesi svitak iz kojeg čitaš i pođi sa mnom.«
Baruh, Nerijin sin, uzeo je svitak i otišao s Jehudijem kod dužnosnika.
15 Rekli su mu: »Sjedi i čitaj!«
I Baruh im je pročitao svitak.
16 Kad su sve čuli, pogledali su se u strahu. Rekli su Baruhu: »Moramo o svemu ovome izvijestiti kralja.« 17 Pitali su ga: »Reci nam, kako si sve to zapisao? Je li ti Jeremija diktirao?«
18 »On mi je sve govorio, a ja sam zapisivao tintom na svitak«, rekao je Baruh.
19 Tada su dužnosnici rekli Baruhu: »Ti i Jeremija morate se sakriti. Nitko ne smije znati gdje se nalazite.«
20 Svitak su uzeli i spremili u sobu tajnika Elišame. Potom su kroz dvorište otišli kod kralja i sve mu ispričali.
21 Kralj je poslao Jehudija po svitak, a on ga je donio iz sobe tajnika Elišame. Čitao ga je pred kraljem i svim dužnosnicima koji su stajali oko njega. 22 Bio je deveti mjesec[c] i kralj je sjedio u zimskom dijelu palače. Pred njim je u maloj peći gorjela vatra. 23 Čim bi Jehudi pročitao tri ili četiri stupca iz svitka, kralj ih je odsjekao pisarskim nožićem i bacio u vatru. Tako je, dio po dio, spalio cijeli svitak. 24 Kad su kralj i njegovi službenici čuli sve te poruke, nisu se nimalo uplašili. Nisu na sebi razderali odjeću niti pokazali bilo koji drugi znak tuge i kajanja.
25 Iako su Elnatan, Delaja i Gemarija molili kralja da ne spali svitak, nije ih htio poslušati. 26 Naprotiv, zapovjedio je Jerahmeelu, koji je pripadao kraljevskoj obitelji, te Seraji—Azrielovom sinu i Šelemiji—Abdeelovom sinu, da privedu pisara Baruha i proroka Jeremiju. No nisu ih pronašli jer ih je BOG sakrio.
27 Nakon što je kralj spalio svitak, na koji je Baruh zapisao sve što mu je Jeremija govorio, Jeremija je čuo BOGA kako mu govori:
28 »Uzmi drugi svitak i na njemu napiši sve ono što je pisalo na svitku koji je spalio judejski kralj Jojakim. 29 A judejskom kralju Jojakimu reci da mu BOG poručuje: ‘Spalio si svitak jer je pisalo da će babilonski kralj sigurno doći, razoriti ovu zemlju i pobiti sve ljude i životinje.’ 30 Stoga, o judejskom kralju Jojakimu BOG kaže: ‘Neće imati nasljednika koji će vladati na Davidovom prijestolju. Kad umre, njegov leš bit će bačen, ostavljen da leži na dnevnoj vrućini i noćnoj hladnoći. 31 Kaznit ću njega i njegovu djecu, kao i njegove službenike, zbog njihovih zlih djela. Učinit ću da se na njih, i na stanovnike Jeruzalema i na Judejce, sruči sva nesreća koju sam najavio jer me nisu htjeli slušati.’«
32 Tada je Jeremija uzeo drugi svitak i predao ga pisaru Baruhu, Nerijinom sinu. Dok je Jeremija govorio, Baruh je zapisivao sve one riječi koje su pisale na svitku što ga je spalio judejski kralj Jojakim. I dodao je još mnoge slične poruke.
Jeremiah 36
New King James Version
The Scroll Read in the Temple
36 Now it came to pass in the (A)fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, that this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying: 2 “Take a (B)scroll of a book and (C)write on it all the words that I have spoken to you against Israel, against Judah, and against (D)all the nations, from the day I spoke to you, from the days of (E)Josiah even to this day. 3 It (F)may be that the house of Judah will hear all the adversities which I purpose to bring upon them, that everyone may (G)turn from his evil way, that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.”
4 Then Jeremiah (H)called Baruch the son of Neriah; and (I)Baruch wrote on a scroll of a book, [a]at the instruction of Jeremiah, all the words of the Lord which He had spoken to him. 5 And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, “I am confined, I cannot go into the house of the Lord. 6 You go, therefore, and read from the scroll which you have written [b]at my instruction, the words of the Lord, in the hearing of the people in the Lord’s house on (J)the day of fasting. And you shall also read them in the hearing of all Judah who come from their cities. 7 It may be that they will present their supplication before the Lord, and everyone will turn from his evil way. For great is the anger and the fury that the Lord has pronounced against this people.” 8 And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading from the book the words of the Lord in the Lord’s house.
9 Now 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 who came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem. 10 Then Baruch read from 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 upper court at the (K)entry of the New Gate of the Lord’s house, in the [c]hearing of all the people.
The Scroll Read in the Palace
11 When Michaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, heard all the words of the Lord from the book, 12 he then went down to the king’s house, into the scribe’s chamber; and there all the princes were sitting—(L)Elishama the scribe, Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, (M)Elnathan the son of Achbor, Gemariah the son of Shaphan, Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes. 13 Then Michaiah declared to them all the words that he had heard when Baruch read the book in the hearing 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 from which you have 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 now, and read it in our hearing.” So Baruch read it in their hearing.
16 Now it happened, when they had heard all the words, that they looked in fear from one to another, and said to Baruch, “We will surely tell the king of all these words.” 17 And they asked Baruch, saying, “Tell us now, how did you write all these words—[d]at his instruction?”
18 So Baruch answered them, “He proclaimed with his mouth all these words to me, and I wrote them with ink in the book.”
19 Then the princes said to Baruch, “Go and hide, you and Jeremiah; and let no one know where you are.”
The King Destroys Jeremiah’s Scroll
20 And they went to the king, into the court; but they stored the scroll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and told all the words in the hearing of the king. 21 So the king sent Jehudi to bring the scroll, and he took it from Elishama the scribe’s chamber. And 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 (N)the winter house in the ninth month, with a fire burning on the hearth before him. 23 And it happened, when Jehudi had read three or four columns, that the king cut it with the scribe’s knife and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the scroll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth. 24 Yet they were (O)not afraid, nor did they (P)tear their garments, the king nor any of his servants who heard all these words. 25 Nevertheless Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah implored the king not to burn the scroll; but he would not listen to them. 26 And the king commanded Jerahmeel [e]the king’s son, Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to seize Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet, but the Lord hid them.
Jeremiah Rewrites the Scroll
27 Now after the king had burned the scroll with the words which Baruch had written [f]at the instruction of Jeremiah, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying: 28 “Take yet 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 you shall say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, ‘Thus says the Lord: “You have burned this scroll, saying, (Q)‘Why have you written in it that the king of Babylon will certainly come and destroy this land, and cause man and beast to (R)cease from here?’ ” 30 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: (S)“He shall have no one to sit on the throne of David, and his dead body shall be (T)cast out to the heat of the day and the frost of the night. 31 I will punish him, his [g]family, and his servants for their iniquity; and I will bring on them, on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and on the men of Judah all the doom that I have pronounced against them; but they did not heed.” ’ ”
32 Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah, who wrote on it [h]at the instruction of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire. And besides, there were added to them many similar words.

English Standard Version
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.
