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.

The word which Jeremiah the prophet spake to Baruch, the son of Neriah, after he had written these words in a book from the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, saying: —

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

Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, to thee, O 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.

Thou sayest, “Woe now to me, for Jehovah hath added grief to my sorrow! I am weary with my sighing, and find 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 shalt thou say to him: Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, that which I myself have builded do I break down, and that which I myself have planted do I pluck up, even this whole land;

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.

and seekest thou great things for thyself? Seek them not; for behold, I am about to bring evil upon all flesh, saith Jehovah; but thy life will I give thee, as a prey, in all places whither thou shalt go.
