Jeremiah 45

1 Judah manghai Josiah capa Jehoiakim kah a kum li dongah tonghma Jeremiah loh Neriah capa Barukh taengah ol a thui pah tih Jeremiah ka dongkah ol te cabu dongah tloep a daek.

This is the word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch son of Neriah when he wrote these words on a scroll at the dictation of Jeremiah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah:

2 “Barukh nang taengah Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh he ni a. thui.

“This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says to you, Baruch:

3 Anunae kai aih he, ka nganboh te BOEIPA loh kothae neh a koei coeng. Ka hueinah nen khaw ka kohnue tih duemnah ka hmuh pawh,” na ti mai.

You have said, ‘Woe is me because the LORD has added sorrow to my pain! I am worn out with groaning and have found no rest.’”

4 Amah taengah na thui bangla, BOEIPA loh he ni a. thui. Ka thoh tangtae te ka koengloeng tih ka phung tangtae he diklai tom he ka phuk coeng ne.

Thus Jeremiah was to say to Baruch: “This is what the LORD says: Throughout the land I will demolish what I have built and uproot what I have planted.

5 Nang loh namah ham a tanglue na tlap te tlap voel boeh. Pumsa boeih soah yoethae ka thoeng sak coeng. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Tedae na caeh nah hmuen takuem ah kutbuem la na hinglu te namah taengah kam paek,” a ti.

But as for you, do you seek great things for yourself? Stop seeking! For I will bring disaster on every living creature, declares the LORD, but wherever you go, I will grant your life as a spoil of war.”
