If fo shua dey sorry, I goin let dem go, an hemo da blame fo all da bad kine stuff dey wen do.”
So Jeremiah tell Neriah boy Baruk fo come by him. Jeremiah tell Baruk eryting Da One In Charge wen tell him. Baruk write um all on top da papyrus kine paypa. Den Jeremiah tell Baruk wat he gotta do. He tell, “I gotta stay hea. Da king no let me go inside da Temple Fo Da One In Charge.

You go read from da book to da peopo da tings Da One In Charge wen tell me, dat I wen tell you fo write. Make shua you read um fo all da Judah peopo, even da ones dat come hea from dea small towns. Da One In Charge tell awready, he stay real huhu wit dis peopo an tell ‘Laytas’ to wat dey do. But dey get chance. Dey go in front Da One In Charge, an beg him fo make good to dem. An get chance too, dat all dem no goin do bad kine stuff no moa!”
Baruk, Neriah boy, do eryting dat Jeremiah, da guy dat talk fo Da One In Charge, tell him fo do. Inside da Temple Fo Da One In Charge, he read wat Da One In Charge tell from da roll up papyrus kine paypa.
Was da year numba five, month numba nine, wen Jehoiakim, Josiah boy, stay king fo da Judah peopo. Had one time fo no eat so da peopo can pray in front Da One In Charge an beg him fo help dem. Dey make dat time fo all da Jerusalem peopo, an da peopo dat come inside Jerusalem from da Judah towns. 10 Baruk, he stan on top da lanai fo da Temple room wea Gemariah work. (Gemariah faddah Shafan was da govmen secretary befo time.) Dat room stay inside da mauka open lanai fo da Temple nea da door fo da New Gate fo da Temple. Baruk read da roll up papyrus kine paypa dat Jeremiah wen tell um fo write, fo all da peopo inside da Temple Fo Da One In Charge hear um.

All da leada guys stay dea: Elishama da govmen secretary, Delaiah Shemaiah boy, Elnatan Akor boy, Gemariah Shafan boy, Zedekiah Hananiah boy, an all da odda leada guys. 13 Mikaiah tell dem eryting he wen hear Baruk read to da peopo from da roll up papyrus kine paypa. 14 Den all da leada guys sen Jehudi, Netaniah boy, Shelemiah grankid, Cushi great-grankid, fo tell Baruk, “Go bring da roll up papyrus kine paypa dat you wen read an come by us guys.” So Baruk go by dem, wit da roll up papyrus kine paypa inside his hand. 15 Dey tell him, “Sit down, read um to us.”
So Baruk read um to dem. 16 Wen dey hear all dat stay write dea, dey look at each odda, an dey come sked an shaking. Dey tell Baruk, “Us guys gotta tell da king all dis stuff!” 17 Den dey aks Baruk, “Try tell us how come you wen write all dis stuff. Jeremiah tell you fo write um, o wat?”
18 Baruk tell dem, “Az right, he tell me all dis stuff. An me, I write um wit ink on top dis roll up kine book.”
19 Den da leada guys tell Baruk, “You an Jeremiah betta go hide! No let nobody know wea you guys stay.”
20 Firs ting, dey put da roll up kine book inside da room wea Elishama da secretary work fo make shua nobody grab um. Den dey go by da king inside da patio in da middo a da palace an tell um eryting. 21 Den da king sen Jehudi fo get da roll up kine book. Jehudi bring um from da room wea Elishama da secretary work. Den he read um to da king an all da leada guys dat stay stan by him. 22 Was winta time, az why da king stay sit inside da room wea he work winta time. Had one fire stay burning inside one pot in front him. 23 Wen Jehudi pau read three o four page from da roll up book, da king cut um off wit one small knife an throw um inside da fire pot, till he burn up da whole book inside da fire. 24 Wen da king an all his helpa guys hear wat da book tell, dey no come sked. Dey no even rip dea clotheses fo show dey stay bum out. 25 No matta Elnatan, Delaiah, an Gemariah try fo stop da king so he no burn up da roll up book, he make deaf ear. 26 Den da king tell Jerahmeel, one prince from da king ohana, Seraiah, Azriel boy, an Shelemiah, Abdeel boy, fo go arres Baruk da writa guy, an Jeremiah, da guy dat talk fo God. But Da One In Charge wen hide dem.

An you wen tell, “How come you wen write dat fo shua, da Babylon king goin come an wipe out dis land an kill da peopo an da animals inside um?!” 30 Az why me, Da One In Charge, tell dis bout Jehoiakim, da king fo Judah: He no goin get nobody from his blood line fo sit on top David throne. Da peopo goin throw out his mahke body, an da body goin stay in da hot sun an in da cold, nite time. 31 I goin punish him, an his peopo dat come from him, an his helpa guys, cuz a da bad kine stuff dey do. I goin make happen to dem an to da peopo inside Jerusalem an Judah, all da bad kine stuff I tell goin happen to dem, cuz dey all make deaf ear.’ ”
