36:1 犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬第四年,耶和华的话临到耶利米说,
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,
36:2 你取一书卷,将我对你说攻击以色列和犹大,并各国的一切话,从我对你说话的那日,就是从约西亚的日子起直到今日,都写在其上。
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.
36:3 或者犹大家听见我想要降与他们的一切灾祸,各人就回头,离开恶道,我好赦免他们的罪孽和罪恶。
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.
36:4 所以,耶利米召了尼利亚的儿子巴录来。巴录就从耶利米口中,将耶和华对耶利米所说的一切话写在书卷上。
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.
36:5 耶利米吩咐巴录说,我被拘管,不能进耶和华的殿。
And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I cannot go into the house of the LORD:
36:6 所以你要去趁禁食的日子,在耶和华殿中将耶和华的话,就是你从我口中所写在书卷上的话,念给百姓和一切从犹大城邑出来的人听。
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.
