Busa si Baruch ang anak nga lalake ni Nerias mikuha sa linukot sa iyang kamot, ug miadto kanila.
CroatianTada dostojanstvenici poslaše Jehudija, sina Netanijina, i Šelemju, sina Kušijeva, Baruhu da mu kažu: "Uzmi u ruke svitak iz kojega si èitao narodu i doði!" Tada Baruh, sin Nerijin, uze svitak u ruke i doðe k njima.
DanishDa sendte alle Fyrsterne Jehudi, en Søn af Netanja, en Søn af Sjelemja, en Søn af Kusji, til Baruk og lod sige: "Tag Bogrullen, du læste op for Folket, og kom her ned!" Så tog Baruk, Nerijas Søn, Bogrullen og kom til dem.
DutchToen zonden al de vorsten Jehudi, den zoon van Nethanja, den zoon van Selemja, den zoon van Cuschi, tot Baruch, om te zeggen: De rol, waarin gij voor de oren des volks gelezen hebt, neem die in uw hand, en kom. Alzo nam Baruch, de zoon van Nerija, de rol in zijn hand, en kwam tot hen.

GermanDa sandten alle Fürsten Judi, den Sohn Nethanjas, des Sohnes Selemjas, des Sohnes Chusis, nach Baruch und ließen ihm sagen: Nimm das Buch daraus du vor dem Volk gelesen hast, mit dir und komme! Und Baruch, der Sohn Nerias, nahm das Buch mit sich und kam zu ihnen.

Maka oleh Barukh bin Neriapun diambil akan gulungan surat itu pada tangannya, lalu pergilah ia mendapatkan mereka itu.
