1Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi hono fā ʻoe taʻu ʻo Sihoiakimi ko e foha ʻo Siosaia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, naʻe hoko ʻae folofola ni kia Selemaia meia Sihova, ʻo pehē,
1And it came to pass in the fourth year of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda, that this word came to Jeremias by the Lord, saying:
2“Toʻo kiate koe ʻae tohi tākai, pea tohi ai ʻae ngaahi lea kotoa pē kuo u lea ʻaki kiate koe ki ʻIsileli, mo Siuta, mo e kakai kotoa pē, talu mei he ʻaho naʻaku fua lea ai kiate koe, ʻo fai mei he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Siosaia, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.
2Take thee a roll of a book, and thou shalt write in it all the words that I have spoken to thee against Israel and Juda, and against all the nations from the day that I spoke to thee, from the days of Josias even to this day.
3Pea ʻe fanongo nai ʻe he fale ʻo Siuta ʻae kovi kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku ou tokanga ke fai kiate kinautolu; koeʻuhi ke nau tafoki ʻae tangata taki taha mei hono hala kovi; koeʻuhi ke u fakamolemole ai ʻenau hia, pea mo ʻenau angahala.”
3If so be, when the house of Juda shall hear all the evils that I purpose to do unto them, that they may return every man from his wicked way: and I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin.
4Pea naʻe toki ui ʻe Selemaia kia Paluki ko e foha ʻo Nelia: pea tohi ʻe Paluki mei he ngutu ʻo Selemaia ʻi he tohi tākai ʻae ngaahi folofola kotoa pē ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne folofolaʻaki kiate ia.
4So Jeremias called Baruch the son of Nerias: and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremias all the words of the Lord, which he spoke to him, upon the roll of a book.
5Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Selemaia, kia Paluki, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou nofo pōpula au, ʻoku ʻikai te u faʻa ʻalu ki he fale ʻo Sihova:
5And Jeremias commanded Baruch, saying: I am shut up, and cannot go into the house of the Lord.
6Ko ia ke ke ʻalu koe, pea lau ʻi he tohi, ʻaia kuo ke tohi mei hoku ngutu, ʻae ngaahi folofola ʻa Sihova ke fanongo ʻae kakai ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova ʻi he ʻaho ʻaukai: pea ke ke lau foki ia ki Siuta kotoa pē, ʻakinautolu kuo haʻu mei honau ngaahi kolo.
6Go thou in therefore, and read out of the volume, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of the Lord, in the hearing of all the people in the house of the Lord on the fasting day: and also thou shalt read them in the hearing of all Juda that come out of their cities:
7Heiʻilo pe te nau fai ʻenau lotu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea taki taha tafoki mei hono hala kovi: he ʻoku lahi ʻae houhau mo e tuputāmaki kuo fakahā ʻe Sihova ki he kakai ni.”
7If so be they may present their supplication before the Lord, and may return every one from his wicked way: for great is the wrath and indignation which the Lord hath pronounced against this people.
8Pea naʻe fai ʻe Paluki ko e foha ʻo Nelia ʻo hangē ko e meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fekau ʻe Selemaia ko e palōfita kiate ia, ʻo ne lau ʻi he tohi ʻae ngaahi folofola ʻa Sihova ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova.
8And Baruch the son of Nerias did according to all that Jeremias the prophet had commanded him, reading out of the volume the words of the Lord in the house of the Lord.
9Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi hono nima taʻu ʻo Sihoiakimi ko e foha ʻo Siosaia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pea ʻi hono hiva māhina naʻa nau fanongonongo ʻae ʻaukai ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻi Selūsalema, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē naʻe haʻu mei he ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta ki Selūsalema.
9And it came to pass in the fifth year of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before the Lord to all the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people that were come together out of the cities of Juda to Jerusalem.
10Pea naʻe toki lau ʻe Paluki ʻi he tohi ʻae ngaahi lea ʻa Selemaia ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, ʻi he potu fale ʻo Kemalia ko e foha ʻo Safani ko e tangata tohi, ʻi he potu lahi, ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe matapā foʻou ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova, pea naʻe fanongo ʻae kakai kotoa pē.
10And Baruch read out of the volume the words of Jeremias in the house of the Lord, in the treasury of Gamarias the son of Saphan the scribe, in the upper court, in the entry of the new gate of the house of the Lord, in the hearing of all the people.
11¶ Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻa Mikaia ko e foha ʻo Kemalia, ko e foha ʻo Safani, ki he ngaahi folofola kotoa pē ʻa Sihova mei he tohi,
11And when Micheas the son of Gamarias the son of Saphan had heard out of the book all the words of the Lord,
12Naʻe toki ʻalu hifo ia ki he fale ʻoe tuʻi, ki he potu fale ʻoe kau tangata tohi: pea vakai, ko e houʻeiki kotoa pē naʻe nofo ai, ko ʻIlisama ko e tangata tohi, mo Telaia, ko e foha ʻo Simaia, pea mo Elinatani ko e foha ʻo ʻAkipoa, mo Kemalia ko e foha ʻo Safani, mo Setikia ko e foha ʻo Hanania, pea mo e houʻeiki kotoa pē.
12He went down into the king’s house to the secretary’s chamber: and behold all the princes sat there, Elisama the scribe, and Dalaias the son of Semeias, and Elnathan the son of Achobor, and Gamarias the son of Saphan, and Sedecias the son of Hananias, and all the princes.
13Pea naʻe fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻe Mikaia ʻae ngaahi lea naʻa ne fanongo ki ai, ʻi he lau ʻe Paluki mei he tohi ʻi he telinga ʻoe kakai.
13And Micheas told them all the words that he had heard when Baruch read out of the volume in the hearing of the people.
14Ko ia naʻe fekau ʻe he houʻeiki kotoa pē ʻa Sehuti, ko e foha ʻo Netania, ko e foha ʻo Selemaia, ko e foha ʻo Kusi, kia Paluki, ʻo pehē, “Toʻo ʻi ho nima ʻae tohi tākai ʻaia naʻa ke lau ʻi he telinga ʻoe kakai, pea ke ʻalu ange.” Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe Paluki ko e foha ʻo Nelia ʻae tohi tākai ʻi hono nima, pea haʻu kiate kinautolu.
14Therefore all the princes sent Judi the son of Nathanias, the son of Selemias, the son of Chusi, to Baruch, saying: Take in thy hand the volume in which thou hast read in the hearing of the people, and come. So Baruch the son of Nerias took the volume in his hand, and came to them.
15Pea naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, “Nofo ki lalo, pea lau ia ʻi homau telinga.” Pea naʻe lau ia ʻe Paluki ka nau fanongo.
15And they said to him: Sit down and read these things in our hearing. And Baruch read in their hearing.
16Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻenau fanongo ki he ngaahi lea kotoa pē, naʻa nau fesiofaki ʻi he ilifia, pea nau pehē kia Paluki, “Ko e moʻoni te mau fakahā ki he tuʻi ʻae ngaahi lea ni kotoa pē.”
16And when they had heard all the words, they looked upon one another with astonishment, and they said to Baruch: We must tell the king all these words.
17Pea naʻa nau fehuʻi kia Paluki, ʻo pehē, “Fakahā mai eni, naʻa ke tohi fēfē ʻae ngaahi lea ni kotoa pē mei hono ngutu?”
17And they asked him, saying: Tell us how didst thou write all these words from his mouth.
18Pea pehēange ʻe Paluki kiate kinautolu, “Naʻa ne lea ʻaki mei hono ngutu ʻae ngaahi lea ni kotoa pē kiate au, pea u tohi ʻaki ia ʻae vaitohi ʻi he tohi.”
18And Baruch said to them: With his mouth he pronounced all these words as if he were reading to me: and I wrote in a volume with ink.
19Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he houʻeiki kia Paluki, “ʻAlu, ʻo fufū koe, ʻa koe mo Selemaia; pea ʻoua naʻa ʻilo ʻe ha tangata pe ʻoku mo ʻi fē.”
19And the princes said to Baruch: Go, and hide thee, both thou and Jeremias, and let no man know where you are.
20¶ Pea naʻa nau ʻalu ki he tuʻi ki he fale fakaʻeiʻeiki, ka nau tuku ʻae tohi tākai ʻi he potu ʻi ʻolunga ʻo ʻIlisama ko e tangata tohi, pea naʻe fakahā ʻae ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻi he telinga ʻoe tuʻi.
20And they went in to the king into the court: but they laid up the volume in the chamber of Elisama the scribe: and they told all the words in the hearing of the king.
21Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi kia Sehuti ke ʻomi ʻae tohi tākai: pea ne ʻomi ia mei he potu fale ʻo ʻIlisama ko e tangata tohi. Pea lau ia ʻe Sehuti ʻi he telinga ʻoe tuʻi, pea ʻi he telinga ʻoe houʻeiki kotoa pē naʻe tutuʻu fakataha mo e tuʻi.
21And the king sent Judi that he should take the volume: who bringing it out of the chamber of Elisama the scribe, read it in the hearing of the king, and of all the princes that stood about the king.
22Pea naʻe ʻafio ʻae tuʻi ʻi he fale mumū ʻi hono hiva ʻoe māhina: pea naʻe ʻi hono ʻao ʻae afi kakaha ʻi he matanavu.
22Now the king sat in the winter house, In the ninth month: and there was a hearth before him full of burning coals.
23Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, hili hono lau ʻe Sehuti ʻae vahe ʻe tolu pe fā, naʻa ne hifi ʻaki ia ʻae hele, pea laku ia ki he afi naʻe ʻi he matanavu, pea fakaʻauha ʻae tohi tākai kotoa pē ʻi he afi naʻe ʻi he matanavu.
23And when Judi had read three or four pages, he cut it with the penknife, and he cast it into the Are, that was upon the hearth, till all the volume was consumed with the fire that was on the hearth.
24Ka naʻe ʻikai te nau manavahē, pe mahaehae honau kofu, ʻae tuʻi, pe ko ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki naʻe fanongo ki he ngaahi lea ni kotoa pē.
24And the king and all his servants that heard all these words were not afraid, nor did they rend their garments.
25Ka naʻe kole ʻa Elinatani mo Telaia mo Kemalia ki he tuʻi ke ʻoua naʻa tutu ʻae tohi tākai: ka naʻe ʻikai te ne fie fanongo kiate kinautolu.
25But yet Elnathan, and Dalaias, and Gamarias spoke to the king, not to burn. the book: and he heard them not.
26Ka naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi kia Silamili ko e foha ʻo Hameleki, pea mo Selaia ko e foha ʻo ʻAsilieli, pea mo Selemaia ko e foha ʻo ʻApitili, ke puke ʻa Paluki ko e tangata tohi mo Selemaia ko e palōfita: ka naʻe fufū ʻakinaua ʻe Sihova.
26And the king commanded Jeremiel the son of Amelech, and Saraias the son of Ezriel, and Selemias the son of Abdeel, to take up Baruch the scribe, and Jeremias the prophet: but the Lord hid them.
27¶ Pea naʻe toki hoko ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Selemaia, hili hono tutu ʻae tohi tākai ʻe he tuʻi, pea mo e ngaahi lea ʻaia naʻe tohi ʻe Paluki mei he ngutu ʻo Selemaia ʻo pehē;
27And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias the prophet, after that the king had burnt the volume, and the words that Baruch had written from the mouth of Jeremias, saying:
28“Ke ke toe toʻo ʻae tohi tākai ʻe taha, pea tohi ki ai ʻae ngaahi lea kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe tuʻu ʻi he ʻuluaki tohi tākai, ʻaia naʻe tutu ʻe Sihoiakimi ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta.
28Take thee again another volume: and write in it all the former words that were in the first volume which Joakim the king of Juda hath burnt.
29Pea te ke lea ʻo pehē kia Sihoiakimi ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ‘ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; “Naʻa ke tutu ʻae tohi tākai ni, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā naʻa ke tohi ai? ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e moʻoni ʻe haʻu ʻae tuʻi ʻo Papilone ʻo fakaʻauha ʻae fonua ni pea fakatangaʻi ʻae tangata pea mo e manu?’””
29And thou shalt say to Joakim the king of Juda: Thus saith the Lord: Thou hast burnt that volume, saying: Why hast thou written therein, and said: The king of Babylon shall come speedily, and shall lay waste this land: and shall cause to cease from thence man and beast?
30Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova kia Sihoiakimi ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta; “ʻE ʻikai te ne maʻu ha taha ke nofo ʻi he nofoʻanga fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻo Tevita: pea ʻe lī atu hono ʻangaʻanga ki he pupuha ʻi he ʻaho, pea ki he momoko ʻi he pō.
30Therefore thus saith the Lord against Joakim the king of Juda: He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David: and his dead body shall be cast out to the heat by day, and to the frost by night.
31Pea te u tautea ia mo hono hako mo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki koeʻuhi ko ʻenau angahala; pea te u ʻomi kiate kinautolu, pea mo e kakai ʻo Selūsalema, pea mo e kau tangata ʻo Siuta, ʻae kovi kotoa pē ʻaia kuo u fakahā kiate kinautolu: ka naʻe ʻikai te nau fanongo.”
31And I will punish him, and his seed and his servants, for their iniquities, and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Juda all the evil that I have pronounced against them, but they have not heard.
32¶ Pea naʻe toki toʻo ʻe Selemaia ʻae tohi tākai ʻe taha, pea foaki ia kia Paluki ko e tangata tohi, ko e foha ʻo Nelia; ʻaia naʻe tohi mei he ngutu ʻo Selemaia, ʻae ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻoe tohi ʻaia naʻe tutu ʻi he afi ʻe Sihoiakimi ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta: pea naʻe fakalahi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea pehē kiate kinautolu.
32And Jeremias took another volume, and gave it to Baruch the son of Nerias the scribe: who wrote in it from the mouth of Jeremias all the words of the book which Joakim the king of Juda had burnt with fire: and there were added besides many more words than had been before.
