耶利米書 45

1 以下是耶肋米亞先知對乃黎雅的兒子巴路克說的話：他在猶大王約史雅的兒子約雅金第四年，由耶肋米亞口授，在卷冊上記錄了這些話：「

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 上主，以色列的天主論及你，巴路克，這樣說：

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

3 你曾說：我多麼可憐! 因為上主在我的愁苦上還加添痛苦；我呻吟憔悴，得不到安寧!

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 你應這樣對他說：上主這樣說：看! 我拆毀的，是我所建造的；我拔除的，是我所栽培的；我要打擊全地，

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 你還有什麼大事可為自己請求；不必請求了。看，我給一切血肉招來災禍──上主的斷語──至於你，不論你到什麼地方去，我必賜你獲得性命，如獲勝利品。」

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.”
